I love pumpkin pie. With the exception of T, everyone in the house loves pumpkin pie. Usually, I just make a regular pumpkin pie; I hate to mess with a good thing, but this is delicious so I am happy that I tried it!
Ingredients:
1 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
1/2 cup Original Bisquick mix
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup whole milk
1 T. melted butter
1-1/2 t. pumpkin pie spice
1 t. vanilla
2 eggs
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350.
2. Stir all ingredients together and pour into a greased muffin pan.
3. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Cool. Refrigerate to store.
After eating this delicious treat, we read Big Pumpkin by Erica Silverman. In this story, a witch plants a pumpkin seed with the intention of baking a pie for Halloween. When she is unable to move the pumpkin herself, passersby (a ghost, vampire, mummy, and bat) offer to help. They work together, and in the end, share the pie. There are some great lessons in this book - helping others, accepting help, teamwork, size doesn't always matter, sharing, etc., which make the book one of my favorites for Halloween.

My kids have been asking to make mini pumpkin pies, so maybe we'll give this a try!
We are having so much fun with pumpkins both of these are perfect!!!
I love that story!
And that recipe looks YUMMY!
That looks yummy! I always have to make a batch of pumpkin custard, pie filling without the crust.
The recipe looks good. We tried a crustless pumkin pie this year, that used apple slices in place of the crust. It was tasty, but we missed the crust. The Bisquick might do the trick!
It sounds like a great recipe. I don't really have any time before Halloween, but there is always Thanksgiving :)
I pinned this today, Christy! It looks and sounds delicious. I love this book too--we've been reading it--Jack is in *love* with it and asks for it each night. I know I can't make these before Hween, but they are on my TGiving board. Love that they are in muffin tins!
