So I am now getting in the baking mood! Today I focused on the pumpkin smell in my house!!
I made this awesome moist pumpkin bundt cake! It has a mild pumpkin flavor and just melts in your mouth! The kids had it for snack today hence the cake being half gone already!
Since I opened just a 15 oz can of pumpkin I didn't have enough for another "big batch" of something so I found a recipe for pumpkin muffins over at Hillbilly Housewife that only called for 1 cup of pumpkin! So I baked up that recipe! Of course, I changed a couple of things in the recipe! I didn't have quite a full cup of pumpkin to put in the batter sooooo I used 1/4 cup of cooked butternut squash along with 3/4 cup of pumpkin to get my 1 cup of pumpkin! I also did not use a 1/3 cup of melted margarine but instead used 1/3 cup of unsweetened applesauce!! The muffins will make a good compliment to breakfast in the morning!
Both of these recipes made my house smell soooo good and fall-like!

As I was typing this I received your email! Too funny! I love the idea of muffins with the extra pumpkin, I never know what to do with it!

I cannot read these recipes at night anymore! They are making me hungry.:) These look great. I have been stocking up on pumpkin because it has been on sale. Thanks for sharing!
Great work on the muffin batch. I wish pumpkin was on sale in my neck of the woods. I've got so many great recipes to try!
