Thread: Anything With Pumpkin Recipes

Tweet

I LOVE pumpkin! Pies, drinks, snacks, seeds whatever. Squash is good. So, I am truly hoping that I am NOT the only one posting on here. We all have great recipes and I would like to share and learn more from what anyone has to offer.

Why have them any other way. These are super delish!

2 C flour
2 Tbsp firmly packed brown sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1 1/2 C milk
1/2 C solid pack pumpkin
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 Tbsp oil

Preheat lightly oiled griddle to 375 F. In large bowl, combine dry ingredients. In separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients; mix well. Add to flour mixture, stirring until just moistened (batter will be very thick). For each pancake, pour 1/4 C batter onto hot griddle. Using a spatula, spread batter into a 4-inch circle before mixture sets. Cook until surface bubbles and appears dry. Turn; continue cooking 2-3 minutes. Serve with butter and maple syrup. Yield 16 pancakes.

We make these every fall and winter. YUM!

Like fruit roll ups...

1 C solid pack pumpkin
1/2 C sugar
1/3 C nonfat dry milk solids
2 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp butter or margerine, melted

Preheat oven to 200 F. Combine all indredients; mix well. Line 15 1/2 x 10 1/2-inch jelly roll pan with foil; secure edges. Grease foil lightly with additional butter. Spread pumpkin mixture evenly in pan. Bake 4 1/2 hours. Remove foil from pan. Starting from wide end, roll foil and mixture; cut into eight slices. Cool. Yields 8 candy roll servings.

I have never used foil. Always parchment paper. But I think the foil probably bakes better for even heating. When I use the paper I do have some spots that are drier than others. Still yummy either way. Mine NEVER last more than an hour or two past when I make them.

Pumpkin Bars

1- 15oz can pumpkin
4 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1 2/3 cups sugar

2 cups A.P. flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp salt

Mix first four ingredients. Combine last four, then add slowly to first four. Pour into a greased jelly roll pan.
Bake a 350 for 20-25 min. Test with toothpick for doneness.

Frosting

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 stick margarine or butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups powdered sugar

Mix well. Spread on cool bars.

Enjoy,

I absolutely LOVE these muffins and (for those of you that are familiar with the restaurant) they taste exactly like Panera's Pumpkin Muffies. I also dust the top with powdered sugar after they have cooled a little. YUUUUMMMMMY!!!


RECIPE FOR PUMPKIN MUFFINS
Makes 1 dozen

INGREDIENTS:
1.5 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
15-oz can pumpkin
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 tsp pumpkin-pie spice (a combo of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and allspice)
1.25 cups plus 1 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon

Equipment: 12 foil or paper muffin liners; a muffin pan with 12 (1/2-cup) muffin cups

DIRECTIONS:
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven toe 350F. Put liners in muffin cups.

Whisk together flour and baking powder in a small bowl.

Whisk together pumpkin, oil, eggs, pumpkin-pie spice, 1.25 cups sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl until smooth, then whisk in flour mixture until just combined.

Stir together cinnamon and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar in another bowl.

Divide batter among muffin cups (each should be about 3/4 full), then sprinkle tops with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Bake until puffed and golden brown and a wooden pick or skewer inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.

Cool in pan on a rack 5 minutes, then transfer muffins from pan to rack and cool to warm or room temperature. Dust with powdered sugar.

i'm not a huge fan of pumpkin, but this pumpkin roll is really yummy. I actually double to the cream cheese part.



Preheat oven to 350.

Beat 3 eggs then add 1 cup sugar, 2/3 cup pumpkin (solid), 1 t. baking soda, 1/2 t. cinnamon and 3/4 cup flour. Mix well.

Grease cookie sheet. Cover with wax paper allowing sides to overlap. Spread mixture on wax paper. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes.

While baking put T towel on table and cover with powdered sugar. Flip out onto the towel as soon as it comes out of the oven. Remove wax paper and rollup in towel while hot. Let cool approximately 1-2 hours.

Mix 2 8 oz. cream cheese, 2 t. vanilla, 4 T. butter and 2 cup powdered sugar. Unroll log, spread mixture on and re-roll.

Wrap in foil. Refrigerate.

Sounds good Heather.

discard I saw your recipe for Pumpkin bars and realized I had most of the ingredients already, so I made them! Just the bars not the frosting. They are so good! Thanks for posting it.

It is an easy recipe and makes a fair amount. I am going to put them in the kids lunches this week and I am going to freeze a couple to see how that goes. I wonder if they would be good to make ahead, freeze and then frost the day I wanted to use them?

Simple Pumpkin Soup

1/2 cup onion
3 tbsp. butter
2 cups mashed cooked pumpkin
1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. ground pepper
3 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup half and half or fat free half and half.

Chop the onions and gently brown with butter in a pan. Put mashed pumpkin
with onions in pan. Add the salt, sugar, nutmeg and pepper. Slowly add chicken
broth and heat thoroughly, but do not boil. To serve, pour into a soup cup and
add the cream. Makes 4 to 6 small servings.

I love squash and pumpkin, yum! I posted this the other day, but don't remember which thread. I experimented a few years ago to find another way to cook squash, and this is the easiest way for me. Cut the squash (peeled) into chunks (large or small, whatever). Throw them in a slow cooker (with or without butter). Turn it on high (5). When it gets hot, turn it down to medium (3). Let it go for about 3 hours (stir it a couple of times) and it's done. It'll keep nicely in the crockpot for hours if you're serving it at a party. (Hint: I'd start it about 4 hours before your party, just in case your slo-cooker doesn't cook as fast as mine). It's so easy, and you can cut up the squash a day or two before. Serve it as-is, with butter or with cheese, or brown sugar and/or maple syrup for those who prefer it that way. It couldn't be easier!
