I've been making this recipe for years. Originally they were frosted with a vanilla cream cheese frosting. All the kids and grownups agree that these are better without the frosting. I do too!Great for freezing and taking a few in the morning for a quick on the go breakfast.

Ingredients

4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, pressed firmly
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 cup applesauce, unsweetened
15 ounces can pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
2 cups all purpose flour, sifted

2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup raisins

How To Make pumpkin mini bites/muffins

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

Using an electric mixer at medium speed, combine the eggs, sugar, applesauce and pumpkin, one at a time until mixture is as light and fluffy as possible.
Step 3

In a separate bowl, sift together the remaining ingredients, except for the raisins and nuts.
Step 4

Set mixer to low speed and add the dry ingredients to to the wet a little at a time. Mix until incorporated.
Step 5

Add raisins and nuts to the mixture. Do not overbeat now.
Step 6

Prepare mini muffin pan by spraying with baking spray containing flour. If you don't have it, just grease and flour pan, including edges.
Step 7

Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full. (I use my small cookie scoop. It makes it easy to fill and make uniform size muffings.
Step 8

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes per pan full. Sometimes I get an extra six after the second pan full.
Step 9

Let cool a moment in pan then turn out onto cooling rack. As they cool and mature, the flavor only gets better.
