Veggie Pot Pie Cupcakes

May 16, 2012 by Cara

Veggie Pot Pie Cupcakes

Everything is fodder for the soul. This was the meditation of one of my professors in grad school that, whether I wanted it to or not, has been forever etched into my internal audio tape. The basic meaning behind it is that everything that happens in your life is always an invitation to grow, become more aware, or even find an extra inch of loving-kindness within yourself, regardless of how trivial the circumstances seem.

GF Vegan Pot Pie Cupcakes

You could open up to the opportunity to practice this meditation even while you are shredding tax papers into 7 full trash bags for 3 hours straight (hypothetical, of course). Shredding papers can bring you the realization that you like to think about future circumstances in order to escape from the reality of now (hypothetically, again). The point is that nothing is ever too small or menial to open up to learning more about your authentic self. Even tossing a paper into a shredder is an invitation.

Pot Pie Cupcakes (gluten free vegan)

It’s a chance to become a passive outsider; a non-judgmental observer to the reactions and recordings in your mind. You become more in tune with what bothers you, what makes you happy, and what triggers certain emotions. The main focus is to do all of this without judgment.  And somehow in all of it, after a while, you start to find freedom. Freedom from the emotions that hook you, freedom from the need to tear yourself apart with those nasty voices in your head, and freedom from those habits that keep you in unhealthy patterns.

Pot Pie Cupcakes Tutorial

It’s a slow change yes, but change none-the-less because as said by Dr. Coe, everything is  fodder for the soul. Your life–just as it is right in this moment–contains everything you need to find freedom, find change, find happiness, and find the lessons you need to learn. You have all the tools you need, which is sometimes difficult to believe, but it is the truth. It’s simply your choice to open up to it right in this moment.

Pin Recipe

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 3 c. Cara’s All-Purpose Blend
  • 1 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. xanthan gum
  • 2/3 c. shortening
  • 2/3 c. ice water
  • 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar

For the Pot Pie Filling:

  • 1/4 onion, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp. paprika
  • 1 tsp. dried thyme
  • 1/4 c. gluten free flour
  • 2 c. vegetable broth
  • 1/4 c. nondairy milk
  • 3 carrots, chopped
  • 1/2 c. frozen peas
  • 1/2 c. frozen corn
  • 1 can Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained

Instructions

For the crust:

  1. Whisk together the flour, salt, xanthan gum, and baking powder in a large bowl until mixed thoroughly. Add shortening and stir until it is mixed into flour. You might need to get those fingers dirty and mix with your hands. Add the ice water in 1/3 c. at a time. You want just enough to get the dough to stick together but not too much to make it wet.
  2. Knead with your hands until you have smooth dough formed. Cover and chill while you prepare the filling.
  3. Saute your onions in olive oil for 5 minutes or until lightly browned.
  4. Add paprika, thyme and flour and mix well. Add nondairy milk and vegetable broth.
  5. Add the carrots, peas and beans and bring to a boil and then simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.
  6. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  7. Take a small chunk of dough and roll out between two pieces of parchment paper. Roll out to 1/4″ thickness and slightly bigger than your palm (see recipe tutorial). Gently place into a greased muffin tin. If the dough rips, do not freak out. Using your fingers, gently push it back together.
  8. Repeat with another same sized dough, trim and place on top. Gently seal the edges together by pinching it with your fingers.
  9. Take a knife and place a few slits through the top. Brush with olive oil and bake for 25 minutes or until top has browned.

    I added double the salt, some garlic, and some pepper and it was perfect that way. Without it, it pretty bland in my opinion.

    Cara, So excited to find your site! Transitioning to gf/vegan with boys ages 8, 11, 16 & 17 . . . not to mention their big boy dad:) Trying to gauge how to increase this recipe for my tribe. When you say it makes 12 “mini” cupcakes, do you mean those itty bitty muffin tins or just regular cupcake size? If I got lazy and just did a big pit, would it make one and have enough crust for the top? Thanks! Vicki

    • Cara

      August 12, 2014 at 2:35 pm

      Yes, do exactly that Vicki! Coming from one lazy girl to another, I totally get it πŸ™‚ These can be labor intensive with the cupcake tin.

    Hi All, Just found this site and very happy. My husband is gluten intolerant and I have been scrambling to find recipes to cook for him. Pot pies are one of his favorites and also what he’s been missing most. I do have some questions: can they be frozen and if so do I freeze before or after baking. Thank you Joyce

    • Cara

      December 3, 2013 at 4:19 pm

      Hi Joyce! I usually make this recipe once a month–I love it! I don’t do it in cupcake form anymore though rather the regular ol’ way and I make more because I freeze them and reheat them for future meals. Works great for me! Good luck, xo

    Ok, I just finished the pot pies and I have to say that they were really really good. I did make a few adjustments, the vegetable broth I used was very strong, I don’t know maybe they all are strong, but I’m new to this type of cooking so I’m making a mental note to cut it with water next time. We like lots of spices and so I added some garlic and tumeric then I called my “Spice Man” hubby to do his magic. He added some dried onions and mustard to it as well as a few other spices. Really helped tone down the broth. The crust was a challenge but I prevailed! It almost kicked my butt, but I won with the wine bottle I used to roll with. I could not for the life of me find my husbands grandmas wooden rolling pin, but the wine bottle worked beautifully filled with water. I ended up making six large muffin sized pies and a small baking dish for us for supper. My husband really liked them too. Thanks so much for sharing your recipes I think I finally found the right blog to follow. I am gluten intolerant or possible celiac (haven’t been tested)and have recently discovered that I also cannot tolerate eggs and dairy products. I am allergic to chocolate and sugar is not my friend either so it has been a bit difficult finding recipes that suit my diet. I’m anxious to make more of your scruptious looking dishes. Thanks again and God Bless you!

    I made these for my family tonight, but added chicken for my husband. They were wonderful, although a bit tricky to get out of the pan! My youngest son wasn’t feeling well, but I saved him some because I know he’ll love them just as much as the rest of my family. Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe.

    pot pies were one of my all-time favorite comfort foods growing up. remember marie calendar? those things are complete garbage. but soooooo damn good.

    i have a request- can you make vegan cream chip beef? that was my ALL-TIME favorite. on toast.

        Ever since I checked your site out today my mouth has been watering. I thought I could actually smell them! Aren’t these the miniature version of what you made for us in Texas? I remember those with savory pleasure – I do remember salting it…..mmmmmmm…and soooo much better than any I ever ate at Marie Calendars!…..and speaking of salt……..I made the cream chipped beef with a light (that may be an oxymoron) BΓ©chamel sauce and cut slices of Armour Dried Beef….talk about salty! And I always put it on TOAST πŸ™‚

    I’m not creative with cooking, so while I won’t be digesting this recipe (although I would if you made it, of course,) I ate up the copy completely. You are wise, my friend, and I think you know that I agree. While it can be hard to see sometimes, it’s truly not the circumstances we’re placed in, but the spirit in which we face them, that determines our comfort.

    And, well, pot pie cupcakes couldn’t hurt either.

    Cara, my darling, I love you. I love this. I’m a firm believer no moment should be wasted or regretted. Every *wrong* choices leads us to more choices of which one could be the rightest one you ever make, meaning the wrong one that came before couldn’t possible be wrong. Could it? The words we say, the words we don’t say, the way we walk, the way we dress ourselves, what we toss, what we keep, what makes us cry, what gives us strength…all of it, means something, and it’s up to us to find the meaning and make sense of it and free ourselves from the bonds that would hold us down.

Hope you like it. It was only $500 bottle. I know, I know, next time I will give you the better kind, but this will have to do.

    I love the idea of making a pot pie into cupcake size. Great for kids and the kid in me. More importantly I love the idea of “Everything is fodder for the soul”. As my life continues to evolve, understanding this is key because it is so true. Every experience is for a reason, it is up to us to not waste the moment.

      I find myself totally over-eating when it comes to pot pie (it’s seriously one of my weaknesses). So these are THE perfect size–2 is just enough and then you can freeze whatever you don’t eat and save them for later.
      You are so right–nothing is to waste. No moment is small enough to not learn something from it. So glad you liked that meditation! I heard it for 3 years straight and I finally get it πŸ™‚

    These look great :D. It is nice to see something savory again :D. Isn’t it funny how Americans actually add a ‘u’ to savory… anything to be different huh?

    • Cara

      May 16, 2012 at 6:53 am

      Nice try, that is your side’s fault with the misplaced “u”. We have already been over this: here in America we spell things correctly. You could really learn a thing or 2 from me…hahaha. Okay I couldn’t even WRITE that with a straight face.

      • frugalfeeding

        May 16, 2012 at 6:58 am

        If you pronounced your way of writing it properly it would come out at saveowry – ridiculous. Keep trying, Cara! πŸ˜€

          If we are talking pronunciation here…what’s up with the refusal to use a z? Y’all actually say the esss sound or do you just like to leave letters cold and alone to fend for themselves only to be used in the off-chance one comes across a zebra?

          • frugalfeeding

            May 16, 2012 at 7:20 am

            We use the letter ‘z’ as an when appropriate. Not every ‘s’ has to sound like ‘esssss’, the subtleties of language often fail to pervade Americans. (This is banter by the way) I refuse to take lessons on pronunciation from anyone who lives in a nation that collectively pronounces ‘aluminium’ in the way that they do :D.

            Hah! I will absolutely admit that everything sounds immediately better when said in a British accent. Any accent will do, rather, except the southern drawl that BBC likes to give 98% of American characters.

          • frugalfeeding

            May 16, 2012 at 7:40 am

            Jolly good. Does the BBC give anyone American accents?

          • Anonymous Burn

            May 16, 2012 at 7:46 am

            Indeed they do. I watch a lot of BBC mini-serieses (usually period pieces) and anytime some character is from America they almost always have a southern accent. Really hard “r”s and frequent use of y’all

            I do not need to be present in this conversation, apparently. ha. I am enjoying this actually. Poor Nick. Everyone is ganging up on the foreigner. You are such a good sport though, which only makes me want to continue giving you a hard time. You seriously are the best, though!

          • frugalfeeding

            May 16, 2012 at 3:00 pm

            We both know that I know that I’m the best… If you want to know about good sports you ought to read uneasy money by Wodehouse. You’d fine his books funny.

            You are so arrogant, I love it. There are few people on this earth that I want to hug and hit at the same time πŸ™‚ You, my friend, have that title. ha. And I refuse to read any book you suggest. Sounds boring.

          • frugalfeeding

            May 16, 2012 at 3:12 pm

            Goodness, I wouldn’t know whether I was or coming or going. I think a lot of people think that about me… It’s a good book, very British.

            May 16, 2012 at 3:14 pm

            That is what makes you endearing. And to quote one of my fav childhood movies, “Teenwolf”: “Underneath all that hair, you’re still a dork Scott. I’ve handled your kind before.”
            Not sure what that has anything to do with this but I wanted to say it. <–reason why I don't read British books.

    These are so darn cute! Perfect for little tummies and sure to be on the menu for the monthly mom’s cooking club I host.

    • Cara

      May 16, 2012 at 6:56 am

      They really are the perfect size! I usually over-do it on the pot pie. It’s seriously my kryptonite and I get the worse belly aches because I just don’t know when to stop πŸ™‚ With these, I have 2 and it’s just enough to satisfy and fill me up (plus, I get to freeze the rest of them and get excited at the fact that tomorrow I get to eat them again). xo! I love the idea of having a mom’s cooking club, by the way!!!

    It is so encouraging to be reminded that we DO in fact have everything we need for our lives, where we are, right now. Even if it seems like things are spiraling out of control or if we feel that we are somehow lacking – we’re not good enough, don’t have the resources we would want. We are where we are meant to be and whatever is happening is growing us. Thanks for this reflection.

    • Cara

      May 16, 2012 at 7:02 am

      Sarah, thank YOU for such a thoughtful comment! I am so glad to hear that this strikes a chord in you. You put it all together so beautifully–we ARE enough just as we are, right in this moment. May you have a wonderful day with this truth tucked away in your pocket πŸ™‚ xo

  39. Gretchen

    July 26, 2014 at 8:57 am

    In the title from allfreecopycatrecipes.com, the title of this recipe indicates it contains chicken; however, there is no chicken listed in the ingredients! IF you wanted to add chicken, would it be already cooked chicken breasts chopped up?

  40. Cara

    June 13, 2013 at 6:22 pm

    Your dough will resemble typical gluten-filled dough however it will be a little more sticky than normal. Just make sure to roll it inbetween 2 pieces of wax or parchment paper and use a good sprinkle of gluten-free all purpose flour to keep it from sticking πŸ™‚

  41. Cara

    August 12, 2014 at 2:36 pm

    Oof, that is not good! I’m sorry about that confusion Gretchen. Everything over here is sans meat, gluten, eggs, and dairy. But if you wanted to add chicken, absolutely! That would add a nice flavor πŸ™‚
