Canned Pumpkin Recipes Substitutes
This is the time of year we think about pumpkins from decorations to easy pumpkin recipes. I have them all for you! Did you know you can substitute this popular fall flavor easily in recipes. Canned pumpkin is really just cooked, pureed pumpkin. You can substitute pumpkin puree for canned pumpkin in your recipes. For 1 cup canned or pureed pumpkin, substitute 1 cup cooked, mashed sweet potato or butternut squash. So, for my following recipes calling for mashed sweet potatoes just substitute the same amount of canned pumpkin. Both have a touch of sweetness and go well with spice. One cup of canned pumpkin has seven grams of fiber and three grams of protein and only 80 calories and one gram of fat. Plus, it is packed with vitamins making for a good health benefit. Enjoy my healthy pumpkin recipes.
