6. Pumpkin Puree
Pumpkins may be all the rage during Halloween, but there’s a use for them other than in pumpkin pies. Puree your pumpkins the next time there’s a carving session at your place. You’d be surprised at how handy this ingredient would be when you start baking!
The best-baked goods for using pumpkin puree in are muffins and delectable coffee cakes. We can’t think of anything better to kick off an autumn evening! Simply use three-fourths of a cup of pumpkin puree for one cup of butter in the recipes. You’ll get all the Vitamin K, fiber, and potassium goodness as well as a unique and delicious taste.
If you usually stir in butter to make your sauces smooth and flavorful, pumpkin puree may be a great alternative here too. Try mixing a little into your mac and cheese, pasta sauces, and other savory dishes for a delightful flavor and texture.
