These were a happy accident. I had left over pumpkin pie batter and no crust left, so I needed something to act as a crust. I had some left over flax seed cereal and thought it would be a fabulous crust. Well they turn out to be almost a pumpkin pie muffin. If you look at the picture you can see the crust rise with the pie filling….um YUM! Perfect mini pumpkin pie cupcakes!
The cereal absorbs some of moisture and puffs up and it becomes this delicious pumpkin pie on top with a soft muffin like or cupcake like bottom. Add a dollop of whip cream and they are quite tasty!! I made ‘cupcakes’ and a full pie and enjoyed both!
This tastes just like grandma’s pumpkin pie, just in manageable portions! They are completely freezable which makes for wonderful bag lunch stuffers. Unfortunately, around our house, they didn’t last long!!
Trust us, you’ll want more than just one bite! Enjoy!
