Eight ways to use up your Canned Pumpkin

I promise.

I promise that, after Thanksgiving, I will put the pumpkin away for the rest of the year (at least as far as blog recipes are concerned).

Until that time, here’s a look back at all of the pumpkin-y goodness with which I’ve bombarded you these last two months:

pumpkin-bowl

Pumpkin Cereal

Come June and July, I will still be eating this breakfast cereal. It is much too delicious to stay away until Fall comes around again.

pumpkin-pie-bar

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bars

This is a good recipe to bring to parties. The bars always disappear quickly!

pump

Pumpkin Peanut Butter

Just like regular peanut butter, this recipe is good on toast or muffins, mixed into oatmeal, or just eaten straight from the jar.

pumpkin-muffin

Single-Serving Chocolate-Chip Muffin

Lock your doors and draw the shades. This muffin is not for sharing.

pumpkin dip

Pumpkin Cookie Dough Dip

When I brought this to a party, even people who said they didn’t like pumpkin kept coming back for more of this addictive dip.

pumpkin pizookie

Pumpkin Pizookie Pie

A much healthier version of the giant skillet “cookie pizzas” made famous by BJ’s Brewhouse.

pumpkin-brownie

Chocolate Pumpkin-Pie Brownies

Sweet pumpkin, rich chocolate, and creamy vanilla. What more could you possibly ask for? Except maybe a fork. And a napkin.

pumpkin-cookies

Chocolate Stuffed Cookies

Delicious chocolate cookie balls, with a soft pumpkin center.

pumpkin oatmeal

Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal

It’s like biting into a warm pumpkin-oatmeal cookie. For breakfast.

Question of the Day:

Do you have any favorite pumpkin recipes?

Feel free to leave links.

I hope you’ll save room for just one more pumpkin recipe on my blog: pumpkin pie! Not just any pumpkin pie, though. After all, this is a chocolate-covered blog…

    Good idea to put these all together, Katie!! Soon you may have to make a whole new website – all dedicated to pumpkins .. But then you might need another one just for chocolate recipes lol, so, on second thought, maybe not 😛 😛 . On that note, do you think you might possibly make a new category/tab, with all your savoury recipes on?? I have used a couple of your main meal recipes, but find them a little hard to find at times, and would like to use them more often – they look and sound great!!
    This year is the first time I’ve ever tried ((and heard of!!)) canned pumpkin, and now I have already make your Chocolate Pumpkin-Pie Brownies, hot Pumpkin Cereal and a Pumpkin Boatmeal!! .. is it obvious I like pumpkin??!! It’s all thanks to you, Miss Katie .. Thank you!!
    Actually, this is the first time I have had pumpkin at-all :O :O !! I do have a small pumpkin in the kitchen – a “Munchkin” pumpkin!! Not really sure what I want to do with it yet but I do know that I want it in a savoury dish, but not soup – I like chunks!! Might you have any suggestions??
    Oohh, long comment, sorry about that!!
    Anyways, be back soon ((awaiting your next pumpkin-y treat!! I’ve never had pumpkin pie before – we don’t really have it here in the UK..))
    Take care, Katie!! 🙂 🙂 , Pumpkin-and-Chocolate-covered wishes,
    Jade C.

        Thanks for the link 🙂 🙂 .
        Hmmm, yes, it is, isn’t it. I can’t seem to find the motivation to sort out my own site at the moment 🙁 🙁 – I have so much to put on it, too..
        Oohh, that sounds like a great idea!! I will plan to do this, right after I receive my next Veg Box on Monday 🙂 🙂 ((I love getting Veg Boxes!!)) I think I will go with your stuffing recipe!!
        Thank you again,
        Jade C.

    My great-grandma’s pumpkin bread is my all-time favorite pumpkin recipe 🙂 I love the thought of your pumpkin peanut butter though! One of my latest favorites is spreading whole wheat bagels with almond butter and pumpkin butter 🙂

  4. Kathleen says

    I am so into your pumpkin recipes. Especially your baked oatmeal and cupcakes! 😀 My favorite pumpkin recipes are my Cacao Pecan Pumpkin Ice Cream and pumpkin pie made with tofu! 😀

    Tried the Pumpkin Cookie Dough Dip last week and ate the whole thing. I actually felt guilty afterwards like as if Id eaten an entire tube of supermarket cookie dough. Your recipe didnt even spike my glucose so what would I be feeling guilty about?! See how conditioned I am?!

  6. Lenore says

    I LOVE links like this. It is so helpful when you have leftover items in your kitchen you would like to use and want ideas for it.

    My favorite thing to do with leftover canned pumpkin is… freeze it!! Frozen pumpkin makes the most delicious pumpkin pie smoothies! mmmm
