What to do with Leftover Pumpkin Pie Filling
1 1/2 cups vegan leftover pumpkin pie filing
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cups flour (I used unbleached white)
1/2 cup sugar
1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
walnuts - optional
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mix all the dry ingredients together.
Mix the pumpkin pie filling with the quarter cup oil. I made this filling for a Halloween dinner party pie and had leftovers - it already had loads of spices in it, so I didn't need to add anymore but if you're inclined, go ahead and throw some in for good measure.
Mix the dry into the wet - I just folded some dry in, then added more, folded it in, then the last of it. Mix well, but not too much.
Grease/line mini-muffin pans... For me, there was EXACTLY enough for 24 mini-muffins. Bake for about 20 to 22 minutes until a knife pierced through the centre comes out clean.
I think raisins might be a great addition, or chocolate chips, but if I did that, I'd decrease from 1/2 cup sugar to 1/4th, since the pie filling already had sugar in it.
If you're inclined - this is my pie filling recipe: About 24 oz pumpkin puree, 2-3 tablespoons Toffuti sour cream, 2-3 tablespoons vegan cream cheese, about 1/2 to 3/4th package silken tofu, 1 tablespoon arrowroot, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar and LOADS of cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg powder and a pinch of salt... stick into a food processor/blender and whiz away. Taste and add more ingredients as desired. Made too much the first time, but I think I'll continue making so much to have an excuse to bake muffins! (This did make a good pie as well, by the way - baked at 400 degrees Fahrenheit and left to cool for an entire day)
SO HOW'D IT GO?

Tried this recipe for my 'leftover pumpkin' pie muffins It has always bothered me for several years, having that leftover filling ...I think I used to always just put it down the drain but a few years back I got wise to this dilemma & decided 'No more waste!' But... then what DO I do? After pondering over pancake recipes, cookie recipes, I fell into the direction of MUFFINS! Absolutely perfect idea! I serve mine WITH dinner ;) So...
