And so the pumpkin/squash bender continues right here at Teaspoon of Spice. Just a little sampler: Serena’s superb Entire Pumpkin Cheddar Gratin. Butternut Squash Apple Soup paired with a fall apple salad. These addicting Baked Pumpkin Donut Holes from The Craving Chronicles (okay, so I swapped in some leftover mashed candy potato however they have been nonetheless superb.)
Subsequent up: pumpkin bread as in yeast bread – vs. the standard candy and dessert-like pumpkin bread. The inspiration got here from Poet Within the Pantry’s inviting Pumpkin Bread with Cinnamon Walnut Swirl. Right here’s my adaptation for these of us who don’t have bread machines (titled “double” for double the pumpkin goodness – blended into the dough and the cinnamon sugar swirl.)

- 1/2 cup lowfat milk, barely warmed
- 1 bundle dry yeast
- 2/3 cup canned pumpkin
- 1 massive egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
