Fall. My absolute favorite time of the year. Yesterday, I kicked off the season with over 100 Fall Decor Ideas and today I’m sharing a delicious treat that both you and your kids will love!
Here is a quick and easy recipe for Gluten Free Pumpkin Muffins with a little cream cheese frosting to top them off. One bite with the taste of fall!
I won’t lie, my family loved them and they were gone in just 2 days. Oops!
- Cupcakes:
- 1 1/2 cups of All-Purpose Gluten-Free Baking Flour (I used Pamela’s)
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. Xanthan Gum
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 brown sugar
- 1/2 granulated sugar
- 1 tsp. gluten-free vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cup Libby’s Pumpkin Pie Mix (or any other kind of pumpkin pie mix, this is just what I prefer)
- 1 Tbsp. Ener-G Egg Replacer + 1/3 cup water (or 3 eggs)
- Frosting:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 6 oz of cream cheese
- 1 tsp. gluten-free vanilla extract
- 3 cups of powdered sugar
- 2 tsp. of milk (or milk alternative, rice, soy, almond)
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees
- In a medium bowl, combine all dry ingredients together and set aside
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the melted butter, sugars, eggs and pumpkin until smooth (the batter will be thick)
- Using a non-stick mini muffin tin, fill each cup 3/4 full with batter*
- Bake for 15 minutes or until you can pull a toothpick out clean
- Set aside the cupcakes to cool
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter, cream cheese, and vanilla until smooth
- Add the powdered sugar and mix until smooth and creamy
- Frost the cupcakes with the cream cheese frosting
- Sprinkle with cinnamon
- Yields: 3 dozen mini muffins
- *I have made these with muffin liners and directly into the tin and I found that they turned out better this way.
Hope you enjoy your little taste of fall :)

These look really good, I am going to have to try them. I’m trying to get into the fall mode, and you had me at pumpkin baked goods.
