Baked Pumpkin Bites

Fall is by far my favorite season.  I already have my fall decorations up, my hoodies pulled out and pumpkin flavoring all my favorite foods!  One of the easiest, healthiest recipes I use and abuse is perfect for fall, Baked Pumpkin Bites.  This recipe can actually be made as a cake, mini loafs or as I like them mini muffins so they are a small and portable snack.

1 Pkg 18.5oz Spice or Yellow Cake Mix
1 Can 15oz Pumpkin
(only Walmart carries this year round, found in the baking aisle)
1 Tbspn Truvia (2 packets of Splenda work as well)
1/4 Cup Unsweetened Applesauce
Pumpkin Pie Spice
if you use yellow cake mix you will need to HEAVILY use the pumpkin pie spice, if using spice cake, sprinkle spice for about 5 seconds.  I have found ALDI has a great pumpkin pie spice.

Combine all ingredients, drop a teaspoon into each mini-tin(which has been greased with spray) and bake at 350.  As with all bread baking the larger the serving the longer the time in the oven.  For my mini bakes, I keep them in about 17 minutes.  Just use the old toothpick trick to check and see if they are done. 

Due to the fact these are a "light" recipe they come out with a solid frame and a chewy/pumpkin pie like center.  When making mini bakes this recipe yields 72 servings.

Enjoy my fellow fall lovers!
