Welcome Autumn + Pumpkin Brownies

Welcome Autumn!  September 22, 2012.

In celebration, here is another recipe. Ok, my baking hobby is getting out of control lately.  But when I see all these pumpkin desserts, I can't help myself!  Today, I thought I would try this recipe for Pumpkin Brownies.  You can find the recipe here.  Who doesn't like brownies?  Mix some pumpkin and spices in there and you've got a real autumn treat for your taste buds.

These turned out very moist.  They had the perfect amount of sweetness and spice.  I cut out a couple tablespoons of butter, but other than that, I made no other alterations to the original recipe.  I will definitely be making these again. 

Happy Fall Y'all!

Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread

I love fall!  I am a fan of all things pumpkin.  I'm back to let you know about this fabulous pumpkin bread recipe I found.  It's called Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread, and you can find the recipe here on Allrecipes.com.

 

This recipe made enough for 12 muffins and 1 loaf pan full.

Go turn on your oven and set it to 350.  By the time you're done reading the recipe, your mouth will be watering for some of these.

Just the smell of this baking in the oven is enough of a reason for you to make it.  The whole house will smell divine. 

and done!

The finished product fresh out of the oven.  Try not to burn your mouth when you can't resist these the moment they come out of the oven...

I only made a couple of changes to the recipe.  I used 1/2 cup oil and 1/2 cup applesauce, ommitted the ginger because I didn't have any, and cut the sugar back to 2 cups instead of 3.

The result?  Just a little taste of pumpkiny fall for your tastebuds.  Enjoy!
