Thanks for the recipe, Im going to use it for our pumpkin carving party this weekend. Im going to try this frosting recipe -

1 c. confectioners' sugar

2 (3 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened

4 tbsp. butter, softened

1/2 tsp. vanilla

Combine all ingredients and beat until smooth. I figure I'll use a large star tip with my pastry bag and pipe it in a pretty flower pattern on top.

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?

I'm thinking they may stick, but you could do an experimental run and try it on two or three w/o the liner to see what happens.

Jenny - what is cinnamon/brown sugar cream cheese swirls? Sounds yummy - I just don't know what that is.....

It is a soft cream cheese by Philadelphia. They also come in Peaches & cream, Strawberry & creeam. They are wonderful.

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

I USE "BETTER THAN CREAM CHEESE" a soy product that is great for baking. I get it at Trader Joe's or Ralph's grocery store here (Kroger in other parts of the US).

:P

Oh, just thought....when I make the crust for the discs on bottom or the shapes on top, add "gluten-free maple sugar" to the flour before I mix it so that there's a faint taste of maple.

These sound really good.

I would have to make them dairy free too. I might try to use rice milk as the condensed milk substitute, simmer it with sugar and see if it thickens up a little bit?

Also, I wonder if you could do a "nut" crust? Take ground nuts and butter, and maybe a little rice flour, and sugar and blend to a crumb mixture and then pat down in the bottom of the liners....or maybe that would work better as a "struesel" type topping to sprinkle on top before baking.

I just made a strawberry pie last weekend using a cookie crust and it turned out good. I crushed pamela's pecan shortbread cookies and melted a 1/2 stick of butter. mixed it and layered it in the pie plate. It tasted really good and it was easy.

Hi, I'm new here and this recipe looks delicious, especially since it doesn't require any specialty ingredients. I just have one question - about how many muffins does it make? I'm going to have to either buy muffin pans myself or borrow them from a friend, and I want to have enough.

Thanks!

You could. My favorite pies are raw vegan pies and the crusts are made out of nuts. Too bad I have nooo idea how to make them though (sorry for my incredibly pointless, unhelpful response :P )

:lol: Mango, so goofey! I wish I knew how to make a nut crust. I think you can just pat a mixture of ground nuts and butter in the bottom of a pan?? :unsure:

Maybe we will get lucky and a "baker" will see our posts and come to our rescue :lol:

I have a vegan recipe for pumpkin pie that's not too bad. Not the same as the real thing. It does set up kinda thick so it may work for this.

Pumpkin Pie - 2 from Country Cabin Cooking by Alison & Emily Waters

1/2 c cashews

3/4 c water

1/2 c dates

1 c boiling water

1 1/2c pumpkin puree

1/2 t salt

1 t vanilla

1/3 c honey

1 t coriander

1 t cardamom

1/8 t ginger

1/2 c cornstarch

Whiz cashews and water in blender.

Soften dates in boiling water and put in blender with remaining ingredients. Blend well.

Pour into crust.

Bake at 350 for 1 hour or until center is set.

I'm sure this would work in muffins too, but haven't tried it.

I only made 1 change, I had too much pumpkin and not enuf condensed milk, so I added some whipped cream. It was very mousse-like. Perfect. My fam is making a totally gluten-free thanksgiving (how sweet!) but we were unsure how to do the pie thing. My sis is alergic to nuts do that makes a gluten-free pie crust harder, but this is perfect! Totally bringing it with me! Thanx thanx

What could you use intead of condensed milk? I'm allergic to dairy and soy. I think the recipe sounds great, but I'm not sure how to swing it to work for my dietary restrictions.

Honestly, I don't remember how long I baked mine for. I didn't use the timer because I was adapting an old pie recipe for cupcakes... I'm thinking it was probably around 15 minutes, but I guess I'm probably too late since you posted this evening... Let us know how long it took for yours.

FYI--You can make a wonderful crustless pumpkin pie by using the regular pumpkin pie recipe and just adding 1/4 cup of gluten-free flour. It is so great that nobody misses the crust. I have also used this tip with other pie recipes like coconut. I think heavier fillings like fruit might need more flour, but I have seen recipes for those online where you could substitute gluten-free flour for the regular flour called for. Note: If a recipe calls for flour already (like my coconut pie recipe calls for 2 tbsp), you just substitute gluten-free flour for that amount AND add 1/4 cup gluten-free flour.

      That test is saying that your daughter is not making normal amounts of any IGA antibodies. She's not making normal amounts of antibodies against gliadin, not against bacteria, not against viruses. She is deficient in total IGA, so the test for antigliadin antibodies is not valid.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community @pothosqueen! Can you be more specific about which IGA test was run that resulted in 114 score and said to be "normal" and could you please include the reference range for what would be normal? By the size of that number it looks like it may have been what we call "total IGA" but that test is not usually run...

      That test is saying that your daughter is not making normal amounts of any IGA antibodies.  She's not making normal amounts of antibodies against gliadin, not against bacteria, not against viruses.  She is deficient in total IGA, so the test for antigliadin antibodies is not valid.  The test was a failure.  The test only works if all different kinds of antibodies were being made.  Your daughter is not making all different kinds of antibodies, so the test results are moot.  Your daughter should have the DGP IgG and TTG IgG tests done.   The tests should be performed while she is still consuming gluten.  Stopping and restarting a gluten containing diet can make her more sick, just like you refuse to eat gluten for testing.  Call the doctor's office, request both the IGG tests. Request to be put on the cancellation list for an appointment sooner.  Ask for genetic testing.   Celiac disease is passed on from parents to children.  You and all seven children should be tested for genes for Celiac disease.  Your parents, your siblings and their children should be tested as well.  Eating gluten is not required for genetic testing because your genes don't change.  Genetic testing is not a diagnosis of Celiac disease.  Just having the genes means there is the potential of developing Celiac disease if the Celiac genes are activated.  Genetic testing helps us decide if the Celiac genes are activated when coupled with physical symptoms, antibody testing, and biopsy examination. It's frustrating when doctors get it wrong and we suffer for it.  Hang in there.  You're a good mom for pursuing this!

      @hjayne19, So glad you found the information helpful.  I know how difficult my struggle with anxiety has been.  I've been finding things that helped me and sharing that with others makes my journey worthwhile. I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  It contains the easily activated forms of B vitamins needed by people with the MTHFR genetic variation often found with Celiac disease.   Avoid B Complex vitamins if they contain Thiamine Mononitrate if possible.  (Read the ingredients listing.)  Thiamine Mononitrate is the "shelf-stable" form of B 1 that the body can't utilize.  B vitamins breakdown when exposed to heat and light, and over time.  So "shelf-stable" forms won't breakdown sitting on a shelf in a bright store waiting to be bought.  (It's also very cheap.)  Thiamine Mononitrate is so shelf-stable that the body only absorbs about thirty percent of it, and less than that is utilized.  It takes thiamine already in the body to turn Thiamine Mononitrate into an active form.   I take MegaBenfotiamine by Life Extension.  Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing, neuropathy, brain function, glycemic control, and athletic performance.   I take TTFD-B1 Max by Maxlife Naturals, Ecological Formulas Allthiamine (TTFD), or Thiamax by EO Nutrition.  Thiamine Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide (TTFD for short) gets into the brain and makes a huge difference with the anxiety and getting the brain off the hamster wheel.  Especially when taken with Magnesium Threonate.   Any form of Thiamine needs Magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes and energy.  I like NeuroMag by Life Extension.  It contains Magnesium Threonate, a form of magnesium that easily crosses the blood brain barrier.  My brain felt like it gave a huge sigh of relief and relaxed when I started taking this and still makes a difference daily.   Other brands of supplements i like are Now Foods, Amazing Formulas, Doctor's Best, Nature's Way, Best Naturals, Thorne, EO Nutrition. Naturewise.  But I do read the ingredients labels all the time just to be sure they are gluten and dairy free. Glad to help with further questions.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community @pothosqueen!   Can you be more specific about which IGA test was run that resulted in 114 score and said to be "normal" and could you please include the reference range for what would be normal? By the size of that number it looks like it may have been what we call "total IGA" but that test is not usually run without also running a TTG-IGA. Total IGA tests for IGA deficiency. If someone is IGA deficient, then the celiac-specific IGA tests like the TTG-IGA will be inaccurate. Was this the only IGA test that was run? To answer, your question, yes, a positive biopsy is normally definitive for celiac disease but there are some other medical conditions, some medications and even some food proteins in rare cases that can cause positive biopsies. But it is pretty unlikely that it is due to anything other than celiac disease.

      Upper endoscopy last week resulted in positive biopsy for celiac disease. The IgA they ran was normal (114). Does positive biopsy automatically mean definitive diagnosis?
