Pumpkin Sensation Week: Encore


So a sister-in-law of ours called and asked if we had a recipe for allergen-free muffins or cupcakes that her daughter could take to school for a Halloween party. At the time we did not, but we got on it right away! These are egg free, milk free and nut free. Light, fluffy and sweet they are perfect for a classroom party without having to forfeit fun and taste.

Tricks
-Preheating the oven about the baking temperature and then turning it down when you put in your recipe helps to develop wonderful fluffy tops instead of those misshapen flat tops
-Almond is not considered a nut since it is classified as a seed. This recipe passed the nut-free rule with the daughter's classroom.
-If you are worried about the almond issue talk to your doctor or allergist or simply substitute with a milk you know is safe and use frequently
