Then there is the quick and easy "muffin" recipe:
I box devil's food OR spice cake mix and a 15oz can of pumpkin. That's it!!
Mix them, and do not add anything else, batter will be dense. Put in muffin tin (makes 12) and bake at 400 for 20 mins.
What are the calorie and fat numbers for this recipe? I often use applesauce or other purees in my cakes and this sounds so good another plus, it couldn't get any easier!
Still has 182 calories and 20g of sugar, but only 5g of fat. They freeze well though and are great if you need something in a pinch.
But there is nothing to tweak since everything is in the cake mix. I have made this recipe from Whole Foods before, and since it is "from scratch" you have a little more wiggle room with the recipe. Interestingly enough the stats are about the same if you make it as is.

Bumping for all of these yummie pumpkin recipes!! Thank you everyone for posting your treats!!0
-
The soup sounds great. Any idea about the nutritional content?0
-
bump, i love love pumpking too!0
-
The pumpkin cream cheese sounds great. What do you eat with it?0

It is very easy to freeze fresh pumkin that is available at this time of the year. Simply clean out the pumpkin. Then you can either bake it, or boil it. Once cooled, scrape off the shell, and pack in two cup amounts in empty yogurt containers and freeze. That is enough for a pie, and for most other recipes out there.
If you want to eat the seeds, you boil them first, and then bake them with oil and salt.0 -
