PUMPKIN POPPERS

PUMPKIN POPPERS (recipe from Domestically Speaking)

1 3/4 c. all-purpose flour

2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

I used 1 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice (original recipe calls for 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. nutmeg, 1/2 tsp. allspice, 1/8 tsp. ground cloves)

1/3 c. vegetable oil

1/2 c. brown sugar

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla extract

3/4 c. pumpkin

1/2 c. milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray mini muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray.  Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and spices in a bowl and whisk until combined.  In another bowl, mix oil. brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, pumpkin, and milk.  Pour in flour mixture and mix until just combined.  Fill mini muffin tins until almost full and bake 10-12 minutes.

Coating: 
(Original recipe called for 1 stick butter, melted  - 2/3 c. sugar - 2 Tbsp. cinnamon Directions: Melt butter in small bowl.  Mix sugar and cinnamon in a separate small bowl.  After poppers cool for a few minutes, dip them in the butter and roll them in the sugar mixture.)
I didn't want to use that much butter so I opted for this:
2 Tbsp. butter, melted
Cinnamon Sugar 
I just brushed the butter on top of the poppers when they were out of the oven and sprinkled them with the cinnamon sugar.

YUM!!!!
