Peanut Butter Pumpkin Bread

I realized the other day that it is the middle of fall, and pumpkin season would be over soon. I haven't baked half-a-season's worth of pumpkin goodies yet. So I got on it ASAP.

It's astounding that it's already November and we only have one pumpkin post to show for ourselves. Quite frankly, I'm a little disappointed in us.

This post is a first step in rectifying that egregious lapse in pumpkin coverage.

My dad's birthday cake is always one of my favorites. Don't get me wrong, I love all birthday cakes, but my dad's almost always involves fall flavors like pumpkin or cinnamon. And I mean come on, you can't go wrong with pumpkin or cinnamon.

This year, my dad requested chocolate in his cake. I didn't argue. But I didn't know if that meant he didn't want pumpkin or cinnamon or what. I had no ideas. *Enter Molly* Molly came up with the brilliant idea behind this cake, and I executed it.

This cake was my brainchild, and Audrey's labor of love. If you ask me, it's fitting that a father's cake be executed by both of his baker daughters. It's kind of like a joint gift from us to him, like one of those homemade gifts you would make when you were little before you could afford to actually buy people stuff. Only better, because it's a culinary homemade gift...and not in the way that uncooked macaroni art is a culinary homemade gift. But like, in an actually tasty way. Like, crazy tasty. Like, you're welcome, dad. And world. (We're nothing if not humble.)

Biscoff Pumpkin Bread

I'm clearly not over Pumpkin Season yet. I think this song sums up our current relationship status rather nicely.

"I'm not over 
I'm not over you just yet
Cannot hide it
You're not that easy to forget 
I'm not over..." 

Seriously though, I know we're well into December and the pumpkin season has come and gone, but I cannot be the only one with cans of pumpkin leftover from those feverishly pumpkin-addled fall months, can I? So, in the spirit of cleaning out our cupboards to make room for holiday-themed ingredients like Ghiradelli peppermint bark, Hershey's kisses, and enough butter, flour, and sugar to bake for an army of college boys freshly home for the holidays and hungering for some good 'ole homemade Christmas cookies, let's put those leftover cans of perfectly good and still-delicious pumpkin to good use, shall we?

We shall.

This post comes to you two weeks delayed. Originally, I was disappointed with how the pictures turned out, so I decided not to post about them. But yesterday when I was scanning back through them, I liked them better than I did initially. (Do you find this ever happens to you with creative things? Like, sometimes I write something and I think it's pretty awful but then when I go back and read over it a while later I think, "Hey, this actually isn't half bad.") So, cue Thanksgiving Break Flashback!

Pumpkin Whoopie Pies with Whipped Cinnamon Frosting

This is the second time I've made these in less than 3 weeks. For someone who rarely re-makes things at all, that's a lot.

And it should speak volumes about how incredibly beyond-words yummy these guys are.
