This week our team was back in the kitchen and inspired by Official Pumpkin Day today on October 26!  For this recipe we wanted to create a simple canned pumpkin recipe using ingredients we often having lying around our kitchen.  While we will posting a few more recipes for a pumpkin pie recipe and a delicious spicy pumpkin seed recipe, we wanted to make sure to include one that you could use with an extra can of pumpkin to make a delicious recipe.

These pumpkin muffins and pumpkin muffins recipe uses our All Purpose Baking Flour that uses our Cricket Flours and cricket protein for enhanced nutrition at 28g of protein per cup.  As you will notice in the pumpkin muffin ingredients below, we even switched out the vegetable oil for applesauce and the water for orange juice.  While you can still use vegetable oil and water in your own recipe, switching out these ingredients for applesauce and orange juice gives your baked goods that moistness that you are looking for and an added flavor complexity and brightness to your baking.  Check out the pumpkin muffin recipe below and ingredients and make sure to send us any photos of your creations.  We love to see what you make on our Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram accounts.  To watch a step by step video with instructions click here.
