GLUTEN FREE PUMPKIN RECIPES: PUMPKIN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375F. Line a standard sized muffin baking pan with paper liners; set aside.
• Add gluten-free flour, sugars, baking soda, salt, and spices to a large mixing bowl. Whisk until combined.
• Add eggs, pumpkin puree, oil and vanilla extract. Mix just until combined.
• Using a spoon or a batter scoop, spoon batter into the muffin liners until ¾ full (about a heaping ¼ cup of batter).
• Bake for 24-28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.Cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days.

GLUTEN-FREE PUMPKIN SPICE CREAM PUFFS

Steps:

• For the gluten-free flour blend: In a large bowl, whisk together the rice flour, tapioca flour, potato starch, xanthan gum and salt.
• For the puffs: In a small bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, cinnamon and salt together with 1 cup gluten-free flour blend.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter together with the milk and 1/2 cup water. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and gradually whisk in the flour mixture. Using a wooden spoon, stir the dough until a ball forms, about 3 minutes. Transfer the dough to a food processor and pulse about 20 times to cool. With the motor running, stream in the eggs, egg white and baking powder; process until a smooth dough forms. Using a 1 1/2-inch ice cream scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet; bake until puffed and golden, about 25 minutes. Using a sharp knife, cut a slit on the sides of each to vent and let cool completely.
• For the filling: Using an electric mixer, beat the cream at high speed until soft peaks start to form. Add the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and spice and beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Fold in the pumpkin puree. Cut the puffs in half and using an ice cream scoop, place mounds of whipped pumpkin cream on the puff bottoms. Set the tops in place and dust with confectioners' sugar.

PUMPKIN NUGGETS WITH VANILLA SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the vanilla sauce by whisking the SAUCE ingredients together in a medium size bowl or container. Cover and refrigerate it to chill for now.
• Mix the NUGGETS by combining the NUGGET ingredients together, preferably with an electric mixer but you can also use a blender or food processor on a low pulse setting. Or just mix by hand with a wooden spoon.
• The nugget mix should have the same consistency as a thin cookie dough. If it seems runny and keeps sliding off the spoon, add more flour.
• Use a wooden spoon to place large dollops of the mixture onto a greased cookie sheet (I like to line the pan with foil and use cooking spray.) The yield is about 12-15 large nuggets.
• Bake for 20-30 minutes or until lightly browned on top. Let cool for at least 10 minutes.
• Serve with the vanilla sauce and enjoy! They're also tasty with chocolate sauce, fruit sauces, caramel, and tons of other dips and toppings! How about my Pumpkin Fluff Dip if you're not afraid of pumpkin overload? :D.
