These mini white chocolate pumpkin muffins are one of the easiest fall treats to throw together. They’re soft, full of pumpkin flavor, loaded with little bites of white chocolate, and make the entire house smell like fall while they bake.
I started with Pillsbury Pumpkin Quick Bread & Muffin Mix, swapped the eggs for applesauce, and added white chocolate chips and chopped walnuts. It’s an easy fall baking shortcut that feels a little more homemade without requiring a long list of ingredients.
Easy Mini Pumpkin Muffins
There’s something about pumpkin baking that immediately makes the house feel like fall. These smelled SO good while they were baking, and making them mini means they’re perfect for grabbing as a quick breakfast, after-school snack, or little fall treat.
The white chocolate adds sweetness, while the chopped walnuts give them a little crunch. And because the base is a boxed pumpkin bread mix, the whole recipe comes together quickly.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a mini muffin pan or line it with mini muffin liners.
Add the pumpkin bread mix, water, oil, and applesauce to a large mixing bowl.
Stir until just combined.
Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, beginning to check them around the 15-minute mark. The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Let cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing.
Why I Used Applesauce Instead of Eggs
Instead of using the eggs called for on the box, I used 1/2 cup of applesauce.
It’s an easy swap for quick breads and muffins, and it works especially well with pumpkin. The applesauce helps keep the muffins soft and moist without changing that classic pumpkin flavor.
Easy Variations
You can easily change these up depending on what you have at home. Leave out the walnuts for a nut-free version, swap the white chocolate for semi-sweet chocolate chips, add dried cranberries, or sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on top before baking.
You can also make these as regular-size muffins. Just remember that larger muffins may need additional baking time.
How to Store Pumpkin Muffins
Once completely cooled, keep the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days.
You can also freeze them. Let the muffins cool completely, place them in a freezer-safe bag or container, and freeze. Pull out a few at a time when you need an easy breakfast or snack.
FAQ
Can I make pumpkin muffins without eggs?
Yes. For this recipe, I skipped the eggs called for on the pumpkin bread mix and used 1/2 cup applesauce instead.
Can I leave out the walnuts?
Yes. Simply leave them out. You don’t need to adjust any of the other ingredients.
Can I use regular chocolate chips?
Yes. Semi-sweet, milk chocolate, or dark chocolate chips can all be used instead of white chocolate.
Can I make regular-size muffins?
Yes. Use a standard muffin pan and allow additional baking time. Check the centers with a toothpick to determine when they’re done.
Can I freeze pumpkin muffins?
Yes. Let them cool completely before placing them in an airtight freezer-safe container or bag.
An Easy Fall Baking Shortcut
These mini white chocolate pumpkin muffins are exactly the kind of fall recipe I love: easy, kid-friendly, and just different enough from what’s written on the box to make it your own.
Between the pumpkin, white chocolate, and walnuts, they taste like fall in muffin form.
And while they’re baking, your entire house smells like perfection.
I have been trying to put into words why the Lindsay Clancy trial has affected me so deeply.
Three children died. Cora, Dawson and Callan deserved to grow up. Nothing about discussing Lindsay’s mental health, the treatment she received or the failures of our healthcare system changes that. Understanding how someone became so sick is not the same thing as excusing what happened.
But I also don’t think we can listen to everything that has come out during this trial and walk away talking only about guilt or innocence.
Because this trial has exposed something much bigger.
For more than ten years, I have been a strong advocate for maternal mental health. And for much of that time, it has felt like yelling into the darkness.
We tell mothers to ask for help.
We tell them postpartum depression and anxiety are common and treatable. We tell them not to be ashamed. We tell them to speak up when something doesn’t feel right.
But this trial has made me think much more seriously about the question that comes next:
What happens after a mother actually asks for help?
Because Lindsay did.
She sought treatment. She saw multiple providers. She took medications. She was hospitalized. Her family was involved. She continued going to appointments.
And somehow, while interacting with multiple parts of our mental health system, she continued to deteriorate.
That is what I cannot stop thinking about.
We place an incredible amount of responsibility on a person experiencing mental illness to recognize that they are getting worse, accurately describe what is happening inside their own mind, advocate for themselves, navigate insurance, coordinate providers and recognize when they have crossed some invisible line between needing outpatient treatment and needing emergency intervention.
Think about how backwards that is.
We are asking the person whose mind may no longer be functioning the way it normally does to be the person responsible for recognizing that their mind is no longer functioning the way it normally does.
And then we call that a safety net.
A six-week postpartum appointment cannot carry the responsibility of protecting a mother’s mental health.
A questionnaire is not treatment.
A pamphlet handed to a mother when she leaves the hospital is not a mental health system.
A prescription is not a mental health infrastructure.
And a family desperately trying to keep someone safe cannot substitute for coordinated psychiatric care.
One of the things that has struck me most during this trial is how many different people held pieces of Lindsay’s story.
Different providers. Different appointments. Different medications. Hospitalizations. Family members.
And I keep coming back to one question:
Who was responsible for seeing the whole person?
That is one of the biggest problems with the way we deliver mental health care. We have OBs, primary care providers, therapists, psychiatrists, emergency departments, inpatient units, insurance companies and families all holding different pieces of someone’s story.
Everyone can technically be doing their job while a patient is still falling through the spaces between them.
And I don’t think the answer is to find one doctor and destroy her.
Providers are working inside this system too.
They are dealing with short appointments, limited access to specialists, fragmented records, insurance restrictions, staffing shortages, administrative requirements and very few meaningful ways to coordinate care across different systems.
There may be individual decisions from this case that deserve scrutiny. That is different from deciding that one clinician represents everything wrong with maternal mental health care.
Patients and healthcare workers should not be standing on opposite sides of this conversation.
A broken system can fail both of them.
And that leads me to something even more uncomfortable.
What if much of what happened was considered standard care?
What if the appointments happened?
What if symptoms were discussed?
What if medications were adjusted?
What if hospitalization occurred when the criteria were met?
What if the family tried?
What if the patient sought treatment?
And somehow this was still the safety net?
Because if everyone followed the procedures and this could still happen, then maybe we need to stop defending the standard simply because it is the standard.
Maybe the standard itself isn’t good enough.
We also desperately need more education about postpartum psychosis, not less.
It is frightening to talk about. I understand that.
But making postpartum psychosis synonymous with mothers harming their children would be dangerous in its own way.
Most mothers experiencing postpartum mental illness will never hurt their children. Intrusive thoughts are not the same as intent. Experiencing frightening thoughts does not make someone a dangerous mother.
If women become terrified that admitting what is happening inside their minds will cause people to see them as monsters or take their children away, we risk making mothers less likely to tell us the very things we need them to feel safe telling us.
The answer to fear is not silence.
It is education.
Families should know what postpartum psychosis is before they encounter it in a tragedy. Partners should understand warning signs. Providers across disciplines should understand perinatal mental illness. Mothers should know that they can say the frightening things out loud and be met with knowledgeable care rather than immediate judgment.
And screening has to lead somewhere.
We don’t need to congratulate ourselves because we handed a mother a questionnaire.
We need to ask what happens when she checks the box.
Who calls her?
How quickly can she see someone?
Does that person understand perinatal mental health?
Can she afford the treatment?
Will insurance cover it?
Who follows up?
Who notices if she stops showing up?
Who checks whether a medication change actually helped?
Who talks to the other providers?
Who helps her partner understand what to watch for?
Where does she go if outpatient treatment isn’t enough but she doesn’t meet the threshold for an acute psychiatric admission?
And why are there so few options between those two extremes?
Other places have developed specialized approaches, including psychiatric programs designed specifically around mothers and babies. We should at least be willing to ask why our own system offers so few options specifically designed around the realities of severe perinatal mental illness.
And mental health care doesn’t exist separately from the rest of a mother’s life.
Childcare matters.
Paid family leave matters.
Sleep matters.
Financial security matters.
Having another parent who can be home matters.
Being able to attend an appointment without figuring out who will watch three children matters.
Being able to take time away from work without wondering how your family will pay the bills matters.
We cannot talk seriously about maternal mental health while ignoring the conditions in which we’re asking mothers to recover.
There is an irony in having these conversations right now that isn’t lost on me.
At a time when we are talking about how desperately this country needs stronger mental health systems, I am also seeing firsthand how easily mental health resources can be reduced within healthcare.
We keep saying we need more access. More continuity. More people helping patients navigate an already fragmented system.
And then decisions continue to be made that move us in the opposite direction.
That contradiction has been particularly difficult for me to sit with while watching this trial.
Maybe that’s also why I understand why so many mothers cannot look away.
The experience of telling someone they’re struggling and wondering whether they’re actually being heard.
They recognize how intensely a woman is medically monitored throughout pregnancy and how quickly, after the baby arrives, the focus shifts almost entirely away from her.
They recognize filling out the questionnaire.
They recognize being told to call if things get worse.
They recognize trying to figure out exactly how bad “worse” is supposed to be.
That doesn’t mean those mothers identify with what Lindsay ultimately did.
It means they recognize pieces of the road.
We’re watching the worst imaginable outcome while recognizing parts of a system many of us have encountered ourselves.
I don’t want another mother’s psychiatric history dissected in a courtroom before we decide maternal mental health deserves our attention.
I don’t want “get help” to be the end of our mental health messaging.
Getting help has to actually lead to help.
Real help.
Accessible help.
Specialized help.
Coordinated help.
Help that follows up.
Help that involves families appropriately.
Help that recognizes deterioration before someone reaches the point of no return.
Help that doesn’t require the sickest person in the room to coordinate the entire thing.
Three children are dead.
Acknowledging failures or limitations within our mental health system does not erase their lives. It doesn’t excuse what happened. And it doesn’t automatically answer questions about legal responsibility.
It means we care enough about the next mother, the next child and the next family to ask what could be different.
When this courtroom eventually empties, I hope the conversation about maternal mental health doesn’t empty with it.
Sometimes advocating for maternal mental health still feels like yelling into the darkness.
That doesn’t mean I stop yelling.

I love a good rice bowl, especially when I can throw a bunch of simple ingredients together and somehow end up with a meal that feels way more exciting than the effort I put into it. These Black Bean and Sweet Potato Rice Bowls with Ginger Tahini Sauce are exactly that.
Roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, and corn are served over rice with avocado and scallions, but the ginger tahini sauce is what really makes the whole thing. It’s creamy, tangy, slightly sweet, and has just enough fresh ginger and garlic.
Why You’ll Love These Black Bean and Sweet Potato Rice Bowls
There’s a lot going on in these bowls without a complicated ingredient list. The sweet potatoes get slightly caramelized in the oven, while the black beans and corn make the bowls hearty and filling.
They’re also great for meal prep. You can make the rice, roasted sweet potato mixture, and ginger tahini sauce ahead of time and assemble everything when you’re ready to eat.
But really, make the sauce. The sauce is the best part.
Ingredients
For the Sweet Potato and Black Bean Bowls
1 cup rice, plus ingredients needed according to package directions
4 cups peeled and chopped sweet potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 2 large sweet potatoes or 1 1/2 pounds)
1/4 cup olive oil, divided
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can corn, drained
Chopped scallions
Avocado, sliced or diced
For the Ginger Tahini Sauce
2 tablespoons tahini
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon cold water
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1 teaspoon agave nectar
1 clove garlic, pressed
Coarse kosher salt, to taste
How to Make Black Bean and Sweet Potato Rice Bowls
1. Prep the Sweet Potatoes
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Peel the sweet potatoes and chop them into approximately 1-inch pieces.
Drain and rinse the black beans and allow them to dry while you prepare everything else. Drain the corn and set aside.
2. Cook the Rice
Prepare 1 cup of rice according to the package directions.
Once cooked, set the rice aside while the sweet potatoes roast.
3. Roast the Sweet Potatoes
Add the chopped sweet potatoes to an extra-large rimmed sheet pan.
Drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil and season with paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. I use about 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, but you can adjust this to taste.
Toss everything together and spread the potatoes into an even layer. Try not to overcrowd the pan so the potatoes have a chance to get those delicious browned edges instead of steaming.
Roast for 15 minutes.
4. Add the Black Beans and Corn
Remove the sheet pan from the oven and toss the sweet potatoes.
Add the rinsed and dried black beans and drained corn. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil as needed and toss everything together.
Return the sheet pan to the oven and continue roasting until the sweet potatoes are tender and lightly browned, about 15 to 20 additional minutes.
5. Make the Ginger Tahini Sauce
While everything finishes roasting, make the sauce.
Combine the tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, cold water, grated ginger, agave nectar, and pressed garlic in a small bowl.
Whisk everything together until smooth and creamy, then season with coarse kosher salt to taste.
Tahini sauce can thicken quickly, so if yours is a little too thick to drizzle, add more cold water about a teaspoon at a time until you get the consistency you want.
Assemble Your Rice Bowls
Divide the cooked rice between bowls.
Pile on the roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, and corn.
Top everything with fresh avocado and chopped scallions before drizzling the ginger tahini sauce over the entire bowl.
And don’t be shy with the sauce. This is not the time for a tiny decorative drizzle.
Easy Substitutions and Add-Ins
Rice is my go-to for these bowls, but you can easily substitute quinoa, brown rice, farro, or another favorite grain.
You could also add spinach or mixed greens, cilantro, pumpkin seeds, or another roasted vegetable.
Want some heat? Add sliced jalapeños, crushed red pepper, or a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce.
You can also add a protein if you want, but between the black beans, sweet potatoes, rice, and avocado, I find these bowls plenty satisfying as they are.
Meal Prep Tips
These black bean and sweet potato rice bowls are an easy option for meal prepping lunches or dinners.
Prepare the rice and roasted sweet potato mixture and store them in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator. Keep the ginger tahini sauce in its own container.
When you’re ready to eat, reheat the rice and sweet potato mixture and then add the sauce, avocado, and scallions.
I recommend cutting the avocado right before serving so it stays fresh.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make black bean and sweet potato rice bowls ahead of time?
Yes. The rice, roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, corn, and ginger tahini sauce can all be prepared ahead of time. Store the components separately and assemble the bowls when you’re ready to eat. Add the avocado just before serving.
What rice is best for sweet potato rice bowls?
Use whatever rice you like or already have in the pantry. White rice, jasmine rice, basmati rice, and brown rice all work well. You can also substitute quinoa or another grain.
Can I use frozen corn?
Yes. Frozen corn works well in these bowls. Thaw it first and remove as much excess moisture as possible before adding it to the sheet pan.
Do I have to peel the sweet potatoes?
No. You can leave the skin on if you prefer. Just scrub the sweet potatoes well before chopping them into 1-inch pieces.
What does tahini taste like?
Tahini is made from ground sesame seeds and has a creamy, nutty, slightly earthy flavor. In this ginger tahini sauce, the lemon, fresh ginger, garlic, and agave help balance the tahini and give the sauce a brighter flavor.
What can I substitute for agave nectar?
If you don’t have agave nectar, maple syrup or honey can be used instead. Maple syrup is the better option if you want to keep the recipe vegan. You only need a little sweetness to balance the lemon, ginger, garlic, and tahini.
How do I thin tahini sauce?
If your ginger tahini sauce is too thick, whisk in cold water one teaspoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency. Tahini can sometimes look thicker when you first add liquid, so keep whisking until the sauce becomes smooth.
Are black bean and sweet potato rice bowls vegetarian?
Yes. This recipe is vegetarian and vegan as written. Just make sure any additional toppings or substitutions you use are also vegan if that is important to you.
What else can I add to a sweet potato rice bowl?
These bowls are really easy to customize. Try adding cilantro, spinach, mixed greens, pumpkin seeds, jalapeños, salsa, shredded cabbage, or another favorite roasted vegetable.
Finishing our summer reading called for a celebration, and pizza felt like the perfect reward! Instead of ordering pizza, we made our own mini cast iron skillet pizzas using TruEats Simply Delicious Pizza Crust Mix. We used 6-inch cast iron skillets so everyone could have their own personal pizza and choose their favorite toppings.
It turned dinner into a fun activity for the kids and was an easy way to make finishing our summer reading feel a little more special.
These personal pan pizzas would also be fun for a family movie night, sleepover, birthday party or an easy weekend dinner.
Why Make Pizza in a Mini Cast Iron Skillet?
There is something about getting your own little pizza that makes pizza night more fun, especially for kids.
I used 6-inch cast iron skillets, which were a great size for individual pizzas. Everyone could choose how much sauce and cheese they wanted and add their own toppings.
It also turns making dinner into something you can do together. For us, it was the perfect way to celebrate completing our summer reading goals.
One thing that immediately stood out to me was the ingredient list. The dry mix has just five ingredients:
Rice flour
Whole grain oat flour
Whole grain sorghum flour
Xanthan gum
Salt
The TruEats dry mix is gluten free, allergen friendly and made with nothing artificial. The mix itself is made without gluten, nuts, dairy, eggs or soy.
To prepare the pizza crust, the package calls for baking powder, sugar, olive oil, apple cider vinegar and warm milk. We also topped our pizzas with mozzarella cheese, so the finished pizzas shown here contain dairy.
TruEats products are produced in a facility that also handles peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, dairy, eggs and soy. If someone in your family manages a severe allergy, always read the package before baking.
Yield: About 4 personal pizzas Skillet size: 6-inch cast iron skillets Oven temperature: 450°F Pre-bake time: 8 to 10 minutes Final bake time: 8 to 10 minutes
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 450°F.
2. Prepare the Pizza Dough
Combine the TruEats Simply Delicious Pizza Crust Mix with 1 teaspoon baking powder, 2 teaspoons sugar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar and 1 cup warm milk.
Mix the dough according to the directions on the package.
3. Lightly Oil the Cast Iron Skillets
Lightly coat the bottom and sides of four 6-inch cast iron skillets with a small amount of oil.
This helps prevent the pizza crust from sticking and gives the bottom a nice crisp texture.
4. Divide the Pizza Dough
Divide the prepared pizza dough evenly between the four skillets.
Press and shape the dough so it evenly covers the bottom of each skillet.
5. Pre-Bake the Pizza Crusts
Before adding any sauce or toppings, place the skillets in your preheated oven.
Bake the crusts at 450°F for 8 to 10 minutes.
Pre-baking gives the crust a chance to cook before adding the toppings and helps keep the center from getting too soft.
6. Add Your Pizza Toppings
Carefully remove the skillets from the oven.
Divide approximately 1/2 cup pizza sauce and 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese among the four pizzas.
Then comes the fun part! Let everyone customize their personal pizza with their favorite toppings.
If kids are helping, remember that the cast iron skillets will be extremely hot after pre-baking. An adult should handle the pans while the kids add their toppings.
7. Bake Again
Return the pizzas to the oven and bake at 450°F for another 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is cooked through.
8. Cool and Enjoy
Allow the pizzas to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Cast iron retains heat for a long time, so be especially careful when making these with kids. Carefully remove the pizzas from the skillets before serving.
Personal Pizza Topping Ideas
Part of the fun of making personal pan pizzas is letting everyone create something different.
Try setting out toppings like:
Pepperoni
Mushrooms
Peppers
Onions
Olives
Cooked sausage
Extra cheese
Fresh basil
You could even set everything out in small bowls and make your own personal pizza bar.
Make It a Family Pizza Night
What I loved most about this was that dinner became part of our summer reading celebration.
The kids had finished their reading, so making their own pizzas felt like a fun reward. Everyone got to build exactly what they wanted, and the mini cast iron skillets made the pizzas feel extra special.
You definitely don’t need to wait until the end of summer to do this either.
Personal pan pizza night would be fun for a sleepover, family movie night, birthday, playdate or just one of those nights when you want dinner to double as an activity.
I especially like that the dry mix contains just five simple ingredients, and using a mix makes personal pizza night easier than starting pizza dough completely from scratch.
Pair it with a few 6-inch cast iron skillets and your favorite toppings and everyone can make their own pizza.
Mini Cast Iron Skillet Pizza FAQs
What size cast iron skillet is best for personal pizza?
I used 6-inch cast iron skillets for these personal pan pizzas. They were a great size for making individual pizzas that everyone could customize.
Can you make pizza in a 6-inch cast iron skillet?
Yes. A 6-inch cast iron skillet works well for an individual personal pan pizza. I lightly oiled each skillet, added the dough and pre-baked the crust before adding the sauce, cheese and toppings.
How many personal pizzas does one TruEats Pizza Crust Mix make?
One package made about four 6-inch personal pizzas for us. Your exact yield may vary slightly depending on how thick you make each crust.
Do you need to pre-bake cast iron pizza crust?
I pre-baked these mini pizza crusts at 450°F for 8 to 10 minutes before adding the sauce, cheese and toppings. I then returned the pizzas to the oven for another 8 to 10 minutes.
What can I put on a personal pan pizza?
Use any of your favorite pizza toppings. Pepperoni, cooked sausage, mushrooms, peppers, onions, olives and extra cheese are all easy options.
Where can I buy TruEats Simply Delicious Pizza Crust Mix?
TruEats Simply Delicious Pizza Crust Mix is available at Walmart.

If you’re looking for a fun girls night craft idea that’s easy, affordable, and completely customizable, this DIY charm scrunchie is it! I had all of the supplies laying around my craft room, and it only took a few minutes to turn a basic scrunchie into a cute, personalized accessory.
Screenshot
What You’ll Need
Fabric scrunchies
Jewelry charms
1/4-inch eyelets
Grommet and eyelet setting tool
Hammer
Small hole punch (if needed)
I rounded up my favorite scrunchies, charms, eyelets, and the tools I used here.
How to Make a DIY Charm Scrunchie
Step 1: Choose Your Scrunchie
Start with any fabric scrunchie. I love using neutral colors, but bright colors and patterns are just as fun.
Step 2: Decide Where Your Charm Will Go
Pick a spot along the edge of the scrunchie where you’d like your charm to hang. Keep it close to the outer seam so the charm hangs naturally when you wear it.
Step 3: Install the Eyelet
Using a 1/4-inch eyelet and a grommet setting tool, carefully install the eyelet through the fabric. This creates a clean, reinforced opening that is much stronger than simply poking a hole through the material.
Step 4: Attach the Charm
Open the jump ring on your charm, slide it through the eyelet, and close it securely with jewelry pliers.
That’s it! In just a few minutes, you’ve created a one-of-a-kind accessory.
Charm Ideas
The best part of this project is making it your own. Try adding:
Initial charms
Birthstones
Hearts
Stars
Flowers
Bows
Pearls
Lucky charms
Seasonal charms
resin charms
polymer clay charms
You can even create themed scrunchies for holidays, birthdays, sports teams, or your favorite books and movies.
Perfect for Girls Night
This DIY is one of my favorite girls night craft ideas because it’s simple enough for everyone to make, even if they aren’t experienced crafters. Set out a variety of charms and let everyone design their own. No two scrunchies will look the same, which makes the project even more fun.
It’s also perfect for birthday parties, teen sleepovers, book clubs, bridal showers, and craft nights.
Final Thoughts
I love projects like this because they take everyday items and make them feel special. Since I already had most of the supplies on hand, this ended up being a quick and inexpensive afternoon craft that I’ll definitely be making again.
