Pumpkin Breakfast Cake (GF)

If you search Pinterest or Swagbucks  for pumpkin recipes, you will encounter approximately 1 trillion options…maybe more. My pumpkin recipes are but a drop in the bucket. This time of year, a pumpkin recipe starts to look kinda BLAH after you’ve seen a couple hundred of them. I even hesitated to use this cookbook.

But then I smacked myself and got over it. Why do I care if there are one trillion recipes for pumpkin already? There isn’t THIS one. And even if you don’t care, I do. I love this recipe and I’m sure glad I made it for my tummy. And guess what? Like I already told you, this isn’t the last pumpkin recipe you’re going to see. You’ve been warned. 😉 Make that 1 trillion and ONE.

I was given this Pumpkin Patch cookbook by an awesome friend – Lesa Morrison. She’s one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met in my entire life. She knows my intense desire of cookbooks and she sent this one to me via Barry with a sweet post-it note, which I kept, tucked inside.

Do you write in your cookbooks where they are from? I do. I would highly suggest you do this…because one day, you won’t remember. The whole momnesia thing messes with my memory. I write stuff down or else it gets lost in the oblivion that is my brain.

NOTE: here is a tutorial for the cute pumpkin flower pot.

This poor recipe was just begging to be re-made. Here’s the list of ingredients: sugar, vegetable oil, pumpkin, eggs, Bisquick, cinnamon, and raisins/chocolate chips. Most of you would just skip right over that, but not me…I’m strange. I thought I would just take this little beauty and remake it into a breakfast cake without that.

Breakfast Cake is just something we say so that we don’t feel guilty about eating dessert for breakfast. Plus, I like saying it because then Annie thinks I’m the cool mom. Usually I’m the boring, mean Mom…so serving cake redeems my status. And by the way – I have no problems with eating dessert for breakfast. That’s what muffins are, ya know.

I switched from vegetable oil to butter, and from Bisquick to almond flour. And I added some stuff because this recipe looked too bland to me. I hate bland food.

I also scaled this recipe back so it would work in an 8×8 pan. That’s better for our family, but feel free to double this recipe if your math skills are stellar.

I’ve also said it is 5 servings, but really it was just 4…I am counting children here. And I’m also trying to forget that I eat like a cow in the pasture. Mooooooooooooooooooooo!

This was fabulous. Absolutely fabulous. It will be going right into my favorites folder. Andy was crazy about it – I put his in a bowl and poured some milk over it. He gobbled it right down…which is saying something, because he’s the picky sort at this stage.

Please note, I have only made this recipe as I have posted it. I know you’re going to comment or email and ask me if you can use yadda-yadda flour. So, here is my official answer: I have no idea. Playing with flours and sweeteners can get tricky, so proceed at your own risk. I do not have ESP (or ESPN) so I cannot tell you how it will turn out. 😉

All I know is mine was good…and it’s gone. Sadness.

    I noticed that our kids are almost the same age (Dec 2009, Sept 2012, Nov 2014) 🙂 How you manage to blog and homeschool is amazing! I find myself having to choose: teach the children or wash the clothes? lol

    I made this for my husband’s birthday today- doubled it and turned it into a layer cake with cream cheese frosting. Yum!!! So good. The only other change I made was to amp up the cinnamon and nutmeg (he loves spicy pumpkin pie so….). Great recipe. Thanks!

    I see where you said Truvia has been processed multiple times and is not pure but here your recipe calls for Truvia…not trying to be negative in any manner just curious. Thank you. 🙂 PS I’m new to THM but not holistic health…love your recipes/info that I’ve read so far!

    I am brand spankin new to THM. I am under the impression that an S meal is heavy on protein, light on carbs…. correct? Where is the protein in this recipe? Is it in the chopped nuts and the almond flour? (I’m sorry if that’s a dumb question)…

      Protein should be the basis of each meal and snack. S meals focus on FAT and E meals focus on CARBS. 🙂

    Between this and your three picks from last week, one might be led to conclude you have a thing for pumpkin. 😉
    And thank you for adding the nuts…nuts are like butter in that they make practically everything so much better.

    Can’t wait to try this out this weekend! (Thank you, God, for payday so we can FINALLY go to the grocery store!)

    aha!! i now have a season-appropriate cake for saturday–couple of the ladies comin’ over for “girlie night” are GF, thanks a million! oh wait…..thanks a trillion! ;0)

    i’ve been adding pumpkin to cornbread and oatmeal…..even polenta…..doc told hubster he’s needing more fiber in his diet, so i’ve been sneaking as many/much fibrous stuff in our food as i can….contrary to his claims to coworkers, i’m not trying to kill him for the insurance hahaha …..am just wantin’ to keep him healthy, like the women in Proverbs 31

    i’ve rewritten Proverbs 31 to fit modern life….scripture text is followed by my 21st century interpretation in parentheses:

    Proverbs 31 10

    10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. (she’s simple, ez to please, prefers handmade jewelry to overpriced gemstones)

    11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of
    spoil. (she “spoils” him like he’s a king…well, he IS king of the home!)

    12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. (sneaking in healthy foods is good, not evil; she makes sure he’s well taken care of each day)

    13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. (thanks be
    for hancocks fabrics & hobby lobby)

    14 She is like the merchants’ ships; she bringeth her food from afar. (thanks be
    for amazon, kroger, sam’s club, walmart, whole foods)

    15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a
    portion to her maidens. (her animals are her maidens)

    16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a
    vineyard. (she shops home depot, nurseries & seed catalogs for
    gardening supplies)

    17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms. (she makes-and
    sticks to-2 week menus/shopping lists; she flips the mattresses all by herself)

    18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
    (she makes sure the hall/bathroom nightlights & fridge lights never burn out)

    19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff. (she
    makes pretty gifts)

    20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the
    needy. (she gives food to food drives, donates gently worn clothes to local “needy closets”)

    21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed
    with scarlet. (she pulls winterwear out of storage 2 months before winter, to be ready)

    22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple. (silk, flannel and thermal loungewear makes her snuggly & happy)

    23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
    (all the neighbors wave when he drives/walks by)

    24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
    (she makes macramé belts for consignment)

    25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
    (with all guys, she has to be strong….gross guy humor and all; she rejoices her
    kids have a strong faith foundation for their future)

    26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
    (um, no comment in rush hour traffic)

    27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. (unless she’s online trolling auctions, absorbed in food blogs)

    28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
    (b/c she brings him his coffee before he “arises” from his bed, even on his
    days off)

    have a blessed day ;0)

    This was a yummy treat. Mine turned out as a cross between pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread. We do not use Truvia, so we used half coconut sugar and half regular sugar. the boys ate it up and I enjoyed a pumpkin MIM which I can use just the stevia with.
