Guest guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Hi Audrey, I made your Pumpkin Muffins today, into cupcakes and used a cream cheese frosting on them. We dyed the frosting orange with the Wilton Cake Frosting coloring and stirred in some Black Walnut Flavoring. We spread this on the cupcakes and sprinkled with orange sugar crystals and Halloween sprinkles. They turned out so cute and were delicious. We took them to an end of the season soccer team party and everyone loved them. Next time I think I will add some walnuts to this quick easy recipe. Thanks again for sharing it.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Black walnut flavoring -- that sounds so good! I'm going to have to try that. I grew up eating black walnuts out of the backyard (cracking them ourselves between two limestone rocks in the treehouse!) How much do you use? I bet that flavor can be kind of overpowering if you use too much. Walnuts would make for a nice texture. I like that idea, too! Glad you liked them -- not too good for us, but... pumpkin has lots of fiber in it! Audrey S.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I added just a drop of the black walnut flavoring. You can find it with the other flavorings, such as almond and vanilla flavoring in the spice section of the grocer store. I also grew up eating black walnuts from a tree we had in our yard. I just love them. They really weren't that bad on the unhealthy scales at all. There is no oil added to it, lots of great pumpkin and just one egg. The batter was a bit stiff, so I used my largest cookie dough scoop and it worked perfect for scooping up a muffins worth and dropping into my cupcake paper.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Sounds good. The original recipe did not call for an egg -- you can imagine how stiff the batter was when I made them the first time! Audrey S.
