Pumpkin Pecan Bites image

This recipe makes a lot, so I like sharing the bite-size treats at potlucks. To easily frost them, try putting the frosting in a pastry bag and piping it on top of the cupcakes. -Carol Beyerl, East Wenatchee, Washington

I'm allergic to pecans. Can I substitute another nut, like walnuts?

I'm not sure how I feel about pumpkin and pecan together. I might have to try these bites before I decide.

I added a little bit of cinnamon to the batter and it gave the bites a nice warm flavor.

I made these bites gluten-free by using gluten-free flour. They were just as good as the regular version.

I had trouble finding pecan halves, so I used chopped pecans instead. They still turned out great.
