Canned Pumkin

dzlilo

I use pumpkin instead of oil and eggs with brownie mix! Just one 15oz can with a box mix, nothing else! Bake at the usual time. You can't really tell there's pumpkin in it, and the brownies are so moist!

I put a batch of these in the office kitchen one time, and no one could tell the difference between these and the normal ones.

I put it in my vanilla protein shake and it makes a yummy shake. I take it and mix in some pumpkin pie spice and put it in my ice cube trays and freeze them. Then pop them out and use them as the ice in my shakes....yummm

1 cake mix (any flavor but chocolate or spice are my favorites for this)
1 can (regular size) pumpkin

mix together put in prepared muffin tin or papers and bake.

Sooo yummy and low fat because you are leaving out the oil and eggs. They are very dense (the chocolate ones are more the consistency of brownies than muffins) My skinny-mini husband likes to put cream cheese frosting on the spice cake ones and a friend now makes them for her kids that suffer from allergies as a treat. The kids love them.

What is the "regular size"?
Single pie can?
or
Two pie can?

There is a big difference between pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie filling! Make sure you buy the puree, I think the regular size is around 15 ounces.

My girlfriend just gave me a recipe for Crock-pot Overnight Pumpkin Oatmeal. I can't wait to try it!

1 cup steel cut oats
2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teasoon allspice
Pinch of cloves

Combine all ingredients. Cook on low 6-8 hours.

Optional add in's: chooped apple, chopped banana, raisins, dried cranberries

Can you make this WITHOUT using a crock pot???? Sounds yummy!

I usually buy a bunch of pumpkins at the end of my farmer's market (in November), so I use frozen, roasted pumpkin rather than canned - since they're the same consistency, though, they can be substituted for one another. As with pretty much any other vegetable, the flavor of fresh (even freshly frozen) pumpkin is spectacular compared to canned. If you see some pumpkins on sale next fall, stock up, they're cheap! I cut them in half, then roast them at 350º cut-side down in a pan with an inch of water. When they're soft, take them out and let them cool, then scoop out the flesh. I puree mine with an immersion blender at this point, because it makes for a smoother texture when you thaw it. Then I scoop the pumpkin into freezer bags, mark the date, and pop 'em in the chest freezer - it's great to have on hand!

Anyway, I love pumpkin soup, and since I just made this one a few days ago, I thought I'd share the recipe:
1 tablespoon oil (I like coconut or olive)
1 small onion, or maybe some shallots
2 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder (or cayenne to taste)
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
2 or 3 (or more?) cups of pumpkin - if you have more, just add more of the spices and stock to balance it out
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 quart vegetable stock

Saute the onion in the oil until translucent, then add the spices and saute until fragrant (30 seconds or so). Add the pumpkin, peanut butter, and stock, simmer until warmed through, then blend (off the heat!) with an immersion blender. Continue simmering until the rest of your dinner is ready, then salt to taste.
