    Love all these! I have 3 huge cans in my pantry because I was afraid I’d never find any. 🙂

      Love it! Glad I’m not the only one. I told Mike the other day that it was like I’d lived through the Depression of pumpkin and was now a pumpkin hoarder because I knew what it was like to do without — and then PROMPTLY apologized for making light of the Depression to describe my pumpkin collection. LOL. One of those moments where you’re like, “Wait, that’s probably an offensive comparison….” Oops!

    They all look fantastic. It would be hard to pick just one.

    I can never get enough pumpkin. If I thought my readers would tolerate it, I would bake with and cook with it all week every week! I love all of these…can’t believe I haven’t made ANY of them yet. What have I been baking with my puree?!?!?

      I say start with the snickerdoodles. Oh man, do I wish I had more of those. They were, like, one of the best things I’ve ever made! And so easy! Agh! 😉

      Hooray for pumpkin hoarding!

    LOVE every thing Pumpkin. I’ve been trying to think of something other than Pumpkin Pie to make for Thanksgiving. I’m thinking your pound cake will be perfect and it will give me the best reason to break in my new bundt pan!

      Oh no, Fewdette, it actually bakes in a tube pan, and I don’t think a bundt will work (darn it!) — but I’m sure one of these recipes will be perrrrfect! I was thinking perhaps people would be looking for something other than just another pumpkin pie — even though those are yummy too! 😉

        Oh really?! I wonder why? I’ve just always assumed that a bundt pan was just an ornamental tube pan.

          They hold just a wee bit less batter — about the same as a 9-inch tube pan, actually, whereas the pound cake bakes in a 10-inch tube pan. You could try it, but I’d be nervous — I’ve baked that pound cake in other pans before (halved and in a loaf pan, to be exact) and due to the way it bakes, it always comes out wonky! I use it for cake pops in that case 😉

    Good to know. Well, I guess it would give me a good reason to add a regular tube pan to my collection! hehe

    Hi Julie! Thanks for all the great pumpkin recipes. I am going to make the pumpkin cheesecake bars today. Can’t wait! Would love if you could come up with a really great pumpkin bar recipe! Most are too cakey. I can’t seem to find a really great one and I bet you could! Happy Thanksgiving!

    The pumpkin pull apart bread is still screaming for me to make it! Must go buy more pumpkin – thanks for the reminder.
