Pumpkin-fest

So you’ve carved a pumpkin for Halloween, maybe Batman or…one with your face on it? Er. Just me then. Ok.

Forget the carving. Let’s EAT pumpkin instead! Here are some of my favorite pumpkin-y recipes.

Pumpkin Mochi (recipe, here)

I love mochi anything, and this seemed about right to me for Fall. Chewy. Pumpkin-y. Delicious.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins (recipe, here)

Once you eat these you’ll never reach for a dry, blech, blueberry muffin again. Chocolate and pumpkin is an amazing combination. These are irresistible.

Pumpkin Cupcakes (recipe, here)

Could I possible do a rundown without including cupcakes? Never. True, you don’t have to go to the trouble of making little Snoopys out of fondant…but then you’ll never get a visit from the Great Pumpkin if you don’t. Your loss.

Vegan Pumpkin Oatmeal Raisin Cookies (recipe, here)

No butter in the house? Paula Deen would shiv you. Don’t worry, you can still make cookies and I promise you, you won’t miss the butter. That’s a shocking endorsement coming from me, trust me.
