Pumpkin Muffins and Glaze

Let me just say....these were good!!! Here is the recipe I used.

Ingredients....I used the pumpkin I made from an actual pumpkin (but it was only 1 cup, and I needed 2 cups, so I used some canned pumpkin that my mom found for me!)


Dry Ingredients

Batter


Ingredients for glaze.
2T butter
2T pumpkin
2T milk
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp cinnamon

This glaze really added an extra "yum" to the muffins!




I REALLY recommend this recipe!

I couldn't find canned pumpkin....so I made my own!

1 Pie Pumpkin


Cut into wedges, seeds scooped out, covered tightly with foil. Bake on 350 for 1 1/2 hours

Peel the skin off...

Stick it in the food processor

Pureed pumpkin! But we aren't finished yet!

Let it sit/drain for about an hour

to get rid of the watery stuff

And THEN you are finished! I would say it made about as much as would be in a can you buy from the store. However, it was not as easy as buying it from the store, haha. It wasn't difficult, just time consuming. I am going to try to find out if/how I could make this in a crock pot!!! I can't wait to try this pumpkin compared to canned!
