Fall is fast approaching and with it the great pumpkin recipes for the season; pumpkin spice latte anyone? My hubby is known in the family for his delicious pumpkin pies, so I decided to dabble in the pumpkin realm and came up with these Mini Pumpkin Spice Muffins topped with an easy vanilla glaze. I’m not a huge sweets eater, so bite-sized treats are just my thing!
These pumpkin spice muffins are really quick and easy and will be the perfect dessert for many of your family dinners this fall, or you could take them along to a party or event. And if you wake up with a sweet-tooth, these tasty bites are just what you’ll need. Whatever the reason, if you’re a pumpkin spice fan, you’ll love these morsels of yumminess!
I’m embracing vanilla in this recipe (adapted from Six Sisters Stuff) and using the new Coffee-mate Classic Vanilla coffee creamer. I’ve been a long time fan of the French Vanilla creamer, so love the idea of another delicious vanilla flavor to choose from.
My daughter Grace is in love with these new treats and claims they taste just like pumpkin pie. My hubby says I need to hide them from him so he doesn’t ruin his triathlon training. Looks like they were a huge hit with my family, so I hope they’re enjoyed by you too!

I can’t wait for fall aka the time where you can add pumpkin spice to anything and it won’t be weird. And coffee mate is great for glazes. I used some for my chocolate mini donuts a few months ago :)

These were delicious! Instead of Vanilla or French Vanilla Creamer, I used Pumpkin Spice Creamer to amp up the pumpkin. But I definitely have to make a double batch next time because they aren’t going to last long in this house!
1/3 cup of vegetable oil?? thanks.
Ah, yes! 1/3 cup. Didn’t realize I missed that! :)
