Between September and December, I almost always have a container of leftover pumpkin puree in my fridge. With all the pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin smoothies and pumpkin bread we make during fall, the amounts never add up exactly and we end up with an extra half cup or so that needs to be used within a couple days.
Does this happen at your house? If so, you’re in luck. Over the last few years, I’ve happened upon some beyond delicious recipes that use a cup or less of pumpkin. These have become my go-to’s whenever I have leftover canned (or fresh) pumpkin puree.
Hope your family loves these too!
