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?

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅
