Oooo me too. I bought a ton of organic canned pumpkin that Amazon was clearing after the holiday season was over...now I need a good set of reliably delicious pumpkin recipes as well. – familygrokumentarian Mar 27 2011 at 15:58

	These are not necessarily "Paleo", but I like the simplicity of the ingredients. – sherpamelissa Mar 27 2011 at 16:25

The two I make the most are: coconut-pumpkin soup in innumerable permutations and this pumpkin mousse in which I sub maple syrup for the brown sugar and turn it into a crustless pumpkin pie. (Thanks for this question--I buy canned pumpkin in bulk b/c it is one of my favorite things and available inconsistently in our grocery store and it is nice to have some new recipe ideas.)

I really love pumpkin bread, and managed to make a paleo version of it: http://paleograd.blogspot.com/2011/02/practically-paleo-pumpkin-cupcakes.html

It's super tasty.

These look delicious, but I don't even know what powdered dextrose is? Have you tried using honey? – sherpamelissa Mar 28 2011 at 17:34

Actually yeah, originally I did use honey in this recipe and it works quite well, very tasty. Dextrose is pure glucose--it's just my personal preference to fructose-containing sweeteners. – losterman Mar 28 2011 at 17:51

OH! And I tried your pumpkin pancake recipe yesterday--twas awesome!! – losterman Mar 28 2011 at 17:53
