(Note: You can use any size muffin tin and adjust baking time, however, using mini-muffin tins, you’ll get over 70 delicious two-bite iced pumpkin muffins!) (Recipe is modified from\u00a0 Joy of Cooking<\/em>)<\/p>\n

1 1\/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
\n3\/4 teaspoon salt
\n1\/2 cup sugar
\n1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
\n1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
\n2 teaspoons double-acting baking power
\n2 eggs
\n2 to 4 tablespoons melted butter
\n3\/4 cup milk
\n1 cup canned (or freshly cooked, cooled and mashed) pumpkin (not\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>pumpkin pie filling)
\n1 cup golden raisins<\/p>\n

Sift together first six ingredients, place aside. Beat eggs, then add butter, milk, pumpkin and raisins. Combine liquid and dry ingredients. Using greased muffin tins, fill 2\/3s full and bake 15-20 minutes (up to 30 minutes, depending on muffin size) at 400F. Muffins are done when a tester, inserted in the middle, comes out with just a few crumbs attached (muffins will finish cooking out of the oven. Allow to cook, then remove from pans and prepare icing.<\/p>\n

In a mixer bowl, combine:<\/p>\n

1 cup (2 sticks) soften unsalted butter
\n1\/2 cup pureed pumpkin (or canned pumpkin, but not<\/strong> pumpkin pie filling)
\n4 cups powdered (10x) sugar)
\n1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
\n1\/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
\n1\/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
\n1 tablespoon milk (for thinning icing –\u00a0 if needed<\/em>)<\/p>\n

Mix until thoroughly combined and whipped. Using an icing bag fitted with either a 2D or star tip, frost muffins.<\/p>\n

Chill, serve and enjoy.<\/p>\n

Makes 2 dozen 2″ muffins, 48 1″ muffins, or over 70 2-bite mini-muffins.<\/p>\n
