I love pumpkin pie. With the exception of my oldest son, everyone in the house loves pumpkin pie. Until I discovered this recipe last year, I used to just make a regular pumpkin pie; I hate to mess with a good thing, but this is delicious and it has become one of our favorite fall desserts!
Ingredients:
1 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
1/2 cup Original Bisquick mix
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup whole milk
1 T. melted butter
1-1/2 t. pumpkin pie spice
1 t. vanilla
2 eggs
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350.
2. Stir all ingredients together and pour into a greased muffin pan.
3. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Cool. Refrigerate to store.
4. I like to top mine with a little whipped cream and cinnamon! YUM!
After eating this delicious treat, we read Big Pumpkin by Erica Silverman. In this story, a witch plants a pumpkin seed with the intention of baking a pie for Halloween. When she is unable to move the pumpkin herself, passersby (a ghost, vampire, mummy, and bat) offer to help. They work together, and in the end, share the pie. There are some great lessons in this book - helping others, accepting help, teamwork, size doesn't always matter, sharing, etc., which make the book one of my favorites for Halloween.
Thank you for the recipe. I am going to try it!
