Help!! Need Pumpkin Recipes

[foxxyroxie]

I was given 4 cans of pumpkin and am not sure what to do with them. I made pumpkin pies at Thanksgiving so really don't want to do that. Does anyone have any tried and true recipes for bread, muffin, cake, desserts, cookies, etc.?

Here's a easy thing to do (so easy that I do it, and I despise making sweets/desserts)

1 can pure pumpkin
1/2 can milk (I use skim)
1 box cake mix ( I use Spice cake)
Dash of cinnamon, cardamom and ginger (optional)

Lightly grease muffin tins , or a 9x13, or loaf pan (if using a loaf pan you will have leftover batter for 4-6 muffins or 3 mini loaves)

Mix pumpkin, milk spices and cake mix. Mixture will be very thick. Bake at 350 until done (time varies depending on pans used) This will be a dense, moist cake.

These muffins are reallllly yummy:

Pumpkin Apple Streusel Muffins

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 cups white sugar
1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
½ cup vegetable oil
2 cups peeled, cored and chopped apples
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
¼ cup white sugar
½ tsp ground cinnamon
4 tsp butter

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease 18 muffin cups or use paper liners.

2. In a large bowl, sift together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt.

3. In a separate bowl, mix together eggs, pumpkin, and oil. Add pumpkin mixture to flour mixture; stirring just to moisten. Fold in apples. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.

4. In a small bowl, mix together 2 tbsp flour, ¼ cup sugar and ½ tsp cinnamon. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

5. Sprinkle topping evenly over muffin batter.

6. Bake in preheated oven for 35 – 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.
