Method
Step 1: Preheat and Mix
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Greasing a mini muffin tin is essential at this stage to ensure those munchkins pop out easily later on. In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, pumpkin flax mix, Swerve sweetener, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. I love the vibrant orange color from the pumpkin; it’s like a little slice of sunshine.
Step 2: Combine Thoroughly
- Use a whisk to blend everything until smooth. The mixture might seem thick at first, but trust me—it will cook beautifully fluffy in the oven. I usually take a moment here to appreciate the aroma; it’s like a warm hug filling the room.
Step 3: Portion into the Pan
- Spoon the mixture into the greased mini muffin tin, filling each cavity about two-thirds full. If you fancy a little extra flair, you can add a few chocolate chips or nuts on top of each munchkin. They’ll give a little surprise crunch with every bite!
Step 4: Bake
- Slide the muffin tin into the oven and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes. Keep an eye on them. When they puff up and turn a lovely golden brown, they’re ready to come out.
Step 5: Prepare the Glaze
- While the munchkins cool, whisk together the powdered sugar, Greek yogurt, and cinnamon in a small bowl until smooth. The glaze will be thick, but that’s perfect for drizzling.
Step 6: Glaze and Serve
- Once the munchkins are cool enough to handle, dip the tops into the glaze. Allow them to sit for a moment, so the glaze sets on the munchkins. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to three days. Trust me, they won’t last long!
