Great idea about the pumpkin creamer in pumpkin oatmeal. I making a batch of steelcut pumpkin spice oatmeal this weekend, so I will try it. Sounds divine!

I forgot about the pumpkin spice cream cheese. I haven't seen it yet here (MN). So good!.

I just made a batch of pumpkin banana muffins yesterday, using fresh pumpkin that I had in my freezer. I tinkered with the recipe so that each muffin is about 120 cal. Not bad considering they contain real yummy butter and pecans.

Are you willing to share the recipe? I make the ones with spice cake mix and a can of pumpkin, but would like to try your pumpkin-banana.

I like using a carrot cake mix, 1/4 cup water, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 can of pumpkin AND 2 eggs. The water and eggs make the texture less stiff, more like a muffin (than a sponge).

Those look amazing and the calories sound perfect! I would also love the recipe!

I have a recipe for homemade pumpkin spice coffee creamer. I love it.

The pumpkining began for us a couple weeks ago with pumpkin spice lattes. I hope those cheerios make it to Ontario. I'm looking at putting together some healthy pumpkin recipes this year to compliment my progress.

Pumpkin spice munchkin from Dunkin Donuts. Pretty tasty, however it left a weird film on the roof of my mouth.

Currently eating the pumpkin pie bagel from Panera. Run, don't walk to go get one.

The only pumpkin spice anything I get is Tim Horton's Pumpkin Spice Tea. They bring in extra boxes in their order because I not only get it on patrol, I buy boxes of it for home. I do love freshly roasted pumpkin seeds from my oven though, with lots of salt and spritzed with good olive oil.

I'll post the link here. But I cut the snout of sugar in half and substituted with Truvia sweetener, I cut the butter in half and substituted with Becel light margarine and I cut the pecans in half
Next time I think I'll add chopped dates. Recipe makes 24 muffins or 2 loaves (12 slices each loaf, 24 slices total)

You'll cringe when I tell you what that film is.

What's wrong with lard?

Guys, you're all making me get the urge to bake my own pumpkin foods. Gods I miss living where the food is.

Actually the main fat appears to be palm oil that I could find online, not lard. Gotta have fat if you're going to fry those babies!

"Munchkin: Enriched Unbleached Wheat Flour (Wheat Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamin Mononitrate, Enzyme, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Palm Oil, Sugar, Whey (a milk derivative), Water, Soybean Oil, Egg Yolks, Contains less than 2% of the following: Leavening (Baking Soda, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Sodium Aluminum Phosphate), Pumpkin, Natural and Artificial Flavor, Defatted Soy Flour, Cinnamon, Salt, Spices, Sodium Caseinate (a milk derivative), Enzyme Modified Egg Yolks, Soy Lecithin, Skim Milk, Konjac Flour, Yellow 6, Caramel Color, Carrageenan; Glaze: Sugar, Water, Maltodextrin, Contains 2% or less of: Propylene Glycol, Mono and Diglycerides (Emulsifier), Cellulose Gum, Agar, Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate (Preservative), Vanillin (an Artificial Flavor)."

There was just something off about the icing or maybe how it got cooked. Though I don't usually have that problem with munchkins, which is why I mentioned it.

My recipe for Pumpkin Spice creamer.

1 3/4 cup of milk (any kind you want. The higher the fat content the "richer/creamier" it will taste)
14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk
3 tablespoons of purred pumpkin
1 teaspoon of pumpkin spice
4 tablespoons of maple syrup
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Mix and store in the fridge.

I use a blender to mix everything and store in a large blender ball mixer. What's nice about this is that you can adjust the spices to your taste.

pumpkin spice cheerios sound amazing! The only store close to me (Smith's) already has a pumpkin spice display in a couple parts of the store plus more all over the place on shelves but it's all junk food! So the cheerios is exciting, I've heard Trader Joes has healthy options, but the closest one is 30 minutes away by bus. Can anyone tell me if it's worth it?!

Variety is the pumpkin spice of life.

Everyone should do pumpkin!

Go to TJs for the pumpkin spice cookie butter. I love it, but I mostly go there to splurge on stuff. I was also told by an employee that pumpkin spice almond milk will be in stock this year.

Eat a balanced diet and add whatever you want into your calories after your nutritonal needs have been met.

I made these tonight also. I cut back on the amount of sugar as it didn't need that much. I made half the batch with pecans like the recipe suggested and the other half with chocolate chips (I have one son who doesn't like nuts). The recipe is a real keeper! I am going to try her banana nut recipe also.
