Pumpkin recipes - can of pumpkin

I love these pumpkin cinnamon rolls. I add a little molasses to the glaze to bring out the warm spice flavor.

pumpkin is so good, love the recipes here. Another thing I did was go off this protein fluff recipe and freeze a can of pumpkin (freeze it in a bag so you can actually get it out), and put it in a food processor with a scoop of protein powder, half a cup of skim milk, 1/6 of a cup of sugar, some cinnamon and nutmeg, blend it until it's creamy, then take it and fluff it with a hand mixer. So thick, creamy and yummy.

never tried it with sugar free cake... I like the lower calories!:flowerforyou:

I will occasionally add a can of pumpkin puree to my chili. Doesn't overpower the chili but it adds a rich, velvety texture.

I put a half cup of the purée in my protein shake with cinnimon a touch of Splenda and its amazing!!!

A personal favorite and lower on cals, but still nutritous (all things considered): http://www.earfullofpumpkin.blogspot.com/2011/01/no-dimethylopolysiloxane-pumpkin-walnut.html

AND

Pumpkin chili:
1 Pound ground turkey
1 Small onion, chopped
1 Clove garlic, minced
2 Cans diced tomatoes
1 Can kidney or black beans
1 Cup pumpkin puree
1 Tablespoon chili powder, or to taste
1 Teaspoon cumin, or to taste
1 or 2 Chipotle peppers
Black Pepper


Cook the ground turkey, onion, and garlic together to brown the meat. If you used the turkey, there shouldn't be much fat to skim off, but if there is, go ahead and drain the meat/onion mixture. Return the pan to the heat and add your 'maters, beans, spices, and puree. Mix well and let simmer on low for about 20-30 minutes.

I love pumpkin!!!

oh boy I am going to make this tomorrow, I everything to do in to! : )

Wow this all sounds so good. I know that sweet potatoes are good for you as well. I wonder if you could use sweet potatoes in place of the pumpkin or along with it?

There is a fantastic cook book called "the looney spoons collection" by sisters Janet and Greta Podleski. The book is full of recipes that are calorie wise and very healthy and most importantly very very delicious. There are 6 recipes in this book with pumpkin:
1. Pumpkin spice muffins (called pumpkin and spice and everything nice)
2. Homemade granola bars with pumpkin (GRAINola bars) - have made these, very good
3. Pumpkin pie pancakes (pimped-out pumpkin pie pancakes)
4. Carrot cake (must bake carrot cake) - very good (but probably not what you're wanting right now)
5. Gluten free brownies(Greta's gluen-free miracle brownies)
6. Pumpkin cheese cake (lovin my no-oven cheesecake)

The book has all calorie breakdown for each recipe by serving size.

I love to mix the pumpkin into the pie filling and bake it in a sprayed pie plate - pie with no crust.

I LOVE Pumpkin. If you are a pasta eater, you can make a sauce with the pumpkin, sage and white wine or chicken stock. Really good with italian chicken/turkey sausage!!! I may need to make this for dinner tonight now. Also, Rachael Ray has lots of pumpkin recipes, I have made quite a few of them and they are flippin YUMMY!!!

Wow! Who knew pumpkin could be so yummy! Can't wait to try the pumpkin fluff!

My question for adding it to brownies or cakes... does it taste like pumpkin then? My first attempt to use applesauce for cookies (found on this site) was gross! All I could taste was applesauce! I took them to work & the guys liked them (though I think they will eat anything! lol) Now I'm afraid to try again...

Low carb pumpkin pancakes are delish:

1/4 c pumpkin
2 eggs or half a cup of egg beaters
2 tbps flax seed (ground, helps to hold it together and adds fiber)
1 tbsp cream
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1-2 packets of sweetener
Pinch of salt

Fry up like you would regular pancakes and top with butter and sugar free/reg syrup.
