I find them at Whole Foods & also most gluten-free stores carry them. I think they taste like cardboard but I do use them when I'm lazy..... Lately I just eat the filling!!!!!!Gillian's is one who mfg. a gluten-free crust.

Alot of times for the pumpkin filling I just grease the pie plate & just use the reg. filling ---it comes out great without a crust.

Oops... I don't know why I put pie crust... This recipe doesn't use a pie crust. My mom's recipe originally used a pie crust and I modified it to be slightly more firm so it didn't need a crust. Sorry about that.

Another question. If after they have been cooled, etc., can you take off the muffin liner and do they still hold their shape. I was thinking like doing a presentation with garnish on a plate.

After cooling, they hold their shape very well. They are firm enough to go without liner after cooling. They are also delicious. I thought this was a really nice alternative to pumpkin pie. Also, the cupcakes look really cute decorated with whipped cream. I tend to get kind of artsy when I'm serving food. I imagine they would make a beautiful presentation with garnish. The only thing I would tend to warn you about is that, because of the egg, they deflate while cooling and look a little, well, deflated on top. That's why I get creative with the whipped cream. Perhaps someone can offer a suggestion as to how to keep them from deflating.

Thanks. I wrote the additonal suggestions on the print out. I thought that they almost sound like a pumpkin mouse' (sp). I thought that maybe a carmel type something drizzled on the top sounded good.

Cream Cheese Icing..........Yum! They might taste like pumpkin roll (or pumpkin log).

Thanks for posting the recipe - I will try them out and I will frost them with cream cheese icing.

Is there anything special I do to make cream cheese icing. I really thought this would be a great recipe to take to someone's home for Thanksgiving.

They taste and feel exactly like pumpkin pie, but without the crust. They're slightly more firm than a pie, but you really can't tell. They certainly don't have the consistency of a cupcake. IMHO they are better than pumpkin pie. Let me know how the cream cheese icing tastes on them, if it's good, maybe I'll try that next time.

We have used this one before - I found this one on FoodNetwork.com - courtesy of Paula Deen.

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature

1/2 cup butter (1 stick), at room temperature

1 pound confectioners' sugar, sifted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a bowl, blend together the cream cheese and butter. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla.

Does anyone have suggestions for making them dairy-free? :unsure:

what if you lined the bottom of the cupcake cup with a baked disc of pie dough? or lpace it on top before baking?

That sounds delicious. Or a gluten free 'nilla wafer on the bottom. There's a fabulous recipe on topsecretrecipes.com. I just replaced the cake flour with gluten free all purpose flour.

emcmaster, I have no clue how you could make them dairy free. Do you have a pumpkin pie recipe that you use? If so, I would just use that recipe, but cut back on the liquid just a smidge so that it's more solid to stay in cupcake form.

Elizabeth--I'll bet that Vance's made double strength would work with this. Everything I've tried using it in has come out fine.

Deb--Good idea--pie dough cut into a leaf or pumpkin shape would look very nice.

Be sure to add sugar to the Vance's. Perhaps someone will know a conversion for amount of sugar per can of sweetened condensed milk?

1 1/4 cups of sugar to 1 cup of milk--simmer until dissolved. I would imagine you could play with the amount of sugar if you wanted to. :)

Wow, that's a lot of sugar! So I should make Vance's double strength and then simmer it with the sugar, stirring until it's dissolved? Sounds like a plan.

It is a lot of sugar--but that's the basic recipe for sweetened condensed milk. For a typical pumpkin pie, the amount of sugar is more like 3/4 cup. This is one of those things where you would have to try it and than make adjustments if necessary. Maybe cut down on the sugar a little bit at first? I'm not completely sure...

I'm going to try this with the Vance's but I have to remember to pick up the pumpkin :D

I was searching, and found this recipe for sweetened condensed milk using powdered milk--this might even work better with Vance's--

Open Original Shared Link

Anyway, there's a couple of ways to go at this dairy free.

I am so excited about this! I can't wait for thanksgiving, but I have one question. Do you have to use liners in the muffin pan? Will they still hold without them?

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease...

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especia...

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can t...

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people.
