Pumpkin...Thanks for this delicious-sounding recipe. Pumpkin is great... chocolate is even better! I think I will try this as muffins (better portion-control that way).<br /><br />One of our favorite pumpkin recipes is Breakfast Pumpkin Pie. I bake a mixture of milk, eggs, pumpkin puree, pureed whole dates, and spices in a whole wheat crust, and we eat it guilt-free for breakfast (and with lunch and dinner, too). I make up at least two at a time since they disappear so quickly (my boys could rival a swarm of locusts). They taste like dessert, but they have no sugar and are just fruit, squash, whole wheat, butter, milk, and eggs, all very acceptable foods by my standards. My kids use this same argument to ask for seconds (and thirds… and fourths...), and I usually take the bate :-).<br /><br />We have pumpkins coming out of our ears right now, so I am definitely in the market for any more fabulous pumpkin recipes you want to pass along :-). Seriously, my hubby recently brought home over 3000 pounds of pumpkins that were left over from a local organic pumpkin patch ... just in the nick of time on the very day they were going to be plowed back into the soil :-). <br /><br />Don't worry, I’m not planning to feed all 3000 pounds to my family, lest we should all turn a shiny orange color. The majority of them will fatten our pigs this winter (near-to-nothing pork!!), but we can't bear to throw ALL of those beautiful organic pumpkins to the piggies, so I would love to hear more of your ideas!StaceyNnoreply@blogger.com
