Pumpkin. It’s that time of the year. They adorn our porches. We decorate them and carve them.
But my absolute favorite thing to do is bake with it. I hope you’re not sick of pumpkin recipes yet. I certainly am not.
I’m just getting started. I have lots of pumpkin recipes to try out and before I know it will be Christmas.
These are delicious and perfect bite size. OK. Maybe 2 bites. Pretty much like a perfect little mini pumpkin pie in your mouth.
These were so fun to make too. I loved the little tart crusts. Everything mini is cute, right? I think so.

Easier to gobble because they’re bite size too. Thanks for visiting!

Mmmmm …. pumpkin! It’s one of my fave ingredients, too!! Looks delicious – and since they are small, also pretty guilt-free! 🙂

Yes, everything mini is adorable! I’ve seen a bazillion pumpkin recipes on pinterest, but nothing like this and I’m loving it! The streusel looks amazing and love anything that has that on top. Plus, I love how the crust has cream cheese in it. I’ve never tried that before.
Pinning to make. 🙂
