Pumpkin Crumb Coffee Cake

November 12, 2013 by Cate 13 Comments

Cinnamon crumbs are piled high on top of moist and flavorful pumpkin cake – this Pumpkin Crumb Coffee Cake is the perfect fall breakfast!

I’m back with another pumpkin recipe. I just can’t stay away! For some reason this time of year all I want to eat is pumpkin! Like these pumpkin doughnuts, or these pumpkin doughnuts, or these pumpkin muffins. I can’t believe I am about to say this, but I like it even more than chocolate right now. Pretty sure that will change in a month or so, but for now I’m embracing pumpkin everything! …

Sweet Potato Pecan Pancakes

October 25, 2013 by Cate 26 Comments

Happy Friday! To celebrate the weekend, how about some pancakes? But not just any ordinary pancakes (although there’s nothing wrong with plain ol’ buttermilk pancakes or whole wheat pancakes) – sweet potato pecan pancakes! I was thinking about making pumpkin pancakes, but I have been on pumpkin overload lately. So I figured why not try out the “other orange puree” – mashed sweet potato! Is that a thing people say, the other orange puree? Probably not, but they really should….

Mini Pumpkin Cinnamon Chip Muffins

October 11, 2013 by Cate 13 Comments

These Mini Pumpkin Muffins are full of pumpkin flavor and are bursting with delicious cinnamon chips. They are the perfect poppable fall breakfast!

In case anyone is keeping track, this is my third pumpkin recipe in a row. I might need to change the name of this blog to Cate’s Pumpkin Obsession. It is really becoming an issue. I can’t stay away from pumpkin recipes! Luckily, TheBetterHalf is a big fan of pumpkin too. This is a new development in our life. Pumpkin (like peaches ) is one of those foods that he thought he didn’t like. I successfully convinced him otherwise (I mean if you like cinnamon, how can you not like pumpkin baked goods?!), and now he can’t get enough either. These Mini Pumpkin Muffins disappeared quickly in our house – with tons of cinnamon chips in each little pumpkin muffin, how could they not?!…

Brown Butter Baked Doughnuts with Chocolate Icing

September 26, 2013 by Cate 18 Comments

It’s official: I am doughnut obsessed. Ever since I bought my doughnut pan and made these beauties, I am hooked. I can’t stop looking up doughnut recipes. There are so many amazing ones out there! But I am pretty sure this one from Joy the Baker might be the most amazing. A brown butter doughnut with chocolate glaze. And sprinkles. OMG yes please! …

Baked Pumpkin Cake Doughnuts

September 20, 2013 by Cate 21 Comments

I can’t even tell you how excited I am to post this recipe. I have seen so many delicious doughnut recipes on Pinterest lately, and I just had to get involved. So I bought two of these doughnut pans the other weekend and literally could not wait to put them to use! And what better recipe to start with than a pumpkin doughnut! I am happy to report they did not disappoint. Thebetterhalf, a doughnut connoisseur, was skeptical about the concept of a baked doughnut, and he LOVED these.

The texture is remarkably similar to a cake doughnut, but a bit lighter. The pumpkin and pumpkin pie spices give the most delicious flavor and the cinnamon sugar coating ties the whole thing together. I snuck a few bites plain and these doughnuts are fantastic even without the cinnamon sugar.

This recipe makes enough for 15 doughnuts, and the pans only make 6 each. Luckily in my doughnut pan buying binge, I also picked up this adorable pan. So I used my extra batter to make some pumpkin doughnut holes! You could just bake the doughnuts in a second batch though. I see many more baked doughnut recipes in my future … these are on the menu for Saturday. How incredible do they look?? These new doughnut pans are going to be trouble! …
