Open in Pepper →One Can Of Pumpkin Goes A Long Way
A can of pumpkin puree sits in the pantry all year and then earns its keep in about six weeks. It's soft, already cooked, and it turns plain flour and sugar into something that tastes like October.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection when the weather finally turns, when there's a school breakfast to make special, or when they've promised to bring dessert and don't want to fuss.
Every recipe here starts with that same can: Best Pumpkin Bread, Pumpkin Muffins with cream cheese filling, The Perfect Pumpkin Pie, homemade pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin pie cheesecake on a gingersnap crust, and a fluffy pumpkin pie dip for the crowd.
Quick Tips
- 1
Buy plain, not pie filling
Pumpkin pie filling is already sweetened and spiced. Recipes here are written for 100% pure pumpkin puree, usually a 15-ounce can.
- 2
Blot the extra water
Press the puree between a few paper towels for 2 to 3 minutes before mixing. Drier pumpkin keeps bread and muffins from turning gummy in the center.
- 3
Rest pancake batter
Let pumpkin pancake batter sit 10 minutes so the flour hydrates, then cook on medium-low for 3 minutes a side. High heat browns the outside before the middle sets.
- 4
Cool pie completely
Pumpkin pie needs at least 3 hours at room temperature to set. Slicing warm gives you a soupy first piece every time.
