These mini muffins are little bites of delightful deliciousness! One recipe makes 72 mini muffins. Stock your freezer for an anytime treat your family and friends will love. Each has 44 calories and 1 gram of fat. Since they’re small, I like to cut each muffin into 6 bites. Makes for a fun, guilt-free treat.
Ingredients
Ingredients for Cake:
- Cooking spray (with flour in it)
- 1 package (16.25 oz.) Duncan Hines yellow cake mix
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 (15 oz.) can pumpkin

Ingredients for Glaze:
- ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 3 teaspoons water

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat mini muffin trays with cooking spray (with flour in it).
- In an electric mixer or using a hand mixer, add the cake mix, flour, pumpkin, water and oil. Mix for a few seconds to combine. Add the egg whites, egg, vanilla, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until blended. Turn mixer on high and mix until very smooth. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides. Mix again for a few seconds.
- Fill each mini muffin cup ¾ to the top. Sprinkle each with ½ teaspoon of rolled oats.
- Bake for 20-21 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Makes 72 mini muffins total. They freeze great!
Healthy Benefits
Pumpkin provides one of the most abundant sources of beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A. It also contains a hefty amount of fiber and is a good amount of vitamin C and iron. Egg-land’s Best eggs are better for you than regular eggs. They contain more vitamin E, 100 mg of Omega 3, and 25% less saturated fat than regular eggs. You’ll find them in most supermarkets.

I keep my recipes in a three-hole binder. The way your recipes are formatted, they don’s leave room for the holes. I have to copy and paste them all to Word. Since I use a lot of your recipes, this takes a lot of time. Is there anything you could do to help ?
Pam, sorry the size isn’t working out for you. Here’s an idea that should work for you. Buy plastic sheet protectors. That’s what I’ve always used in my recipe binder. Not only do they work for a 3 ring binder, they protect the recipes too. I bought mine at Target-https://goo.gl/WJNe1b or on Amazon-https://goo.gl/YomLDd.
Best of luck!
Nancy
thanks, I will try the sheet protectors.
Great. Let me know if they do the job for you Pam!
