Watching this video made me crave pumpkin gnocchi, but oh man, love the easy baking here, this is the type of cooking that got me into cooking honestly.

[@HowToMakeDinner]

I love pumpkin gnocchi too!!

[@glendahingley491]

Yes! I was just eyeing up the on-sale canned pumpkin the other day. Maybe toss this into a bundt pan......

These look so good. More baking videos please! I love baking this time of year. Ever make soda bread? I am curious how to make it. 💗

[@HowToMakeDinner]

Yes! I did a soda bread IG live awhile back. But not on this channel! Good idea Broadski! Xoxo

[@SomewhereInIndiana1816]

Looks really delicious!! 👏👍😊

[@HowToMakeDinner]

Thank you!

[@edprotas4148]

Paula, I was thinking of you when I made a batch of muffins today. I added about 1/2 cup of dried cranberries, which I first soaked in hot water for 10 minutes, and 1/2 of a very firm banana, cut into small chunks. Your video got me into muffin mode. Thanks for the reminder. Oh yeah, they were very tasty... ;-)

[@HowToMakeDinner]

Ahh that really warms my heart! I love being associated with the cozy things in life 😄

[@annettevanderklippe1653]

Thank you Paula! I have a bumper crop of butternut squash from my garden this year so this will come in useful.

[@HowToMakeDinner]

Perfect!!

[@edprotas4148]

Yes, since you labored long in the coffee shops, please share any other muffin recipes you might have. Also, I am big into fermenting for the obvious health benefits. It takes a bit more planning, but the day before I bake I mix the flour with my homemade kefir or homemade yogurt and let it sit at room temp in a covered bowl for 24 hours. The next morning I simply carry on with the other ingredients. Those who have difficulty with gluten can benefit from this approach. (See the section on "Grains" in "Nourishing Traditions" by Sally Fallon.)

[@HowToMakeDinner]

Very nice! Yes I know that book. We talked about in in Nutrition college. I love the overnight ferment. I went through a phase of soaking oats overnight with adding a splash of cider vinegar with the same intention. I’ve never done it with flour though! Definitely going to try that!

[@edprotas4148]

Sandor Katz really gets into it in "Wild Fermentation". He got me turned on to the idea of doing it with pancake/waffle batter. So now I ferment everything I do with flour: sourdough bread, pizza dough, waffles, muffins... I sometimes feel I need an intervention, but I am probably too far gone... ;-)

Great video.. can you do a video on cooking and carving a Turkey?

[@HowToMakeDinner]

I'd love to!

[@HowToMakeDinner]

I'll do this around Dec 25th. That's the next turkey I plan on roasting :)

[@londondaze]

I like baking recipes. I don't eat a lot of sweet things but these look like just the amount of sweetness that I would like. I just happen to have a can of pumpkin in my cupboard.... a year old, but what the heck, I'll give it a try. I'm not a fan of cranberries so I'm going to make mine with raspberries. Think that will work.

[@HowToMakeDinner]

Sounds perfect!

[@MariaLopez-hc2nm]

I love it ❤️..will defo be making these! I was wondering why you didn't use eggs in muffins?

[@HowToMakeDinner]

There are a couple eggs in there!

[@petyastoeva7516]

Hey Paula. We've been baking all evening last night wearing your special apron ;) we've made 3 different cakes ;) your recipe looks good with the red fruits in it! I'd use real fresh pumpkin for the pumpkin puree. Will let you know what the result will be..hugs

[@HowToMakeDinner]

Aw that’s so nice to hear! Yep use fresh if you like. Although it’s worth mentioning that canned pumpkin is usually actually butternut squash 😅 so you can use fresh butternut squash instead of pumpkin and it’ll probably be even better :)

[@petyastoeva7516]

@@HowToMakeDinner funny enough, I have never ever seen in my life a canned butternut or any canned pumpkin products. Not in France, in Bulgaria neither..

[@HowToMakeDinner]

@@petyastoeva7516 That makes sense. It's most likely because pumpkin pie is SUCH a thing in North America. I'll make it for you next time we're over there!

[@lalainetorrenueva4772]

Yummy

[@dmkyu82]

love that your recipe calls for a whole can of pumpkin puree. i found it frustrating having to buy two cans then having awkward leftover... btw, is olive oil okay to use?

[@HowToMakeDinner]

Yes! Olive oil would be awesome!

[@lalalallaal82]

could pumpkin pie filling still work?

[@HowToMakeDinner]

It could! It’ll just be sweeter and more heavily spiced

[@lalalallaal82]

@@HowToMakeDinner sorry this is late! it worked amazing, everyone loved them and they stayed fresh for a LONG time

[@edprotas4148]

Next time replace the whole wheat flour with whole wheat pastry flour and see what that does for you. It carries the flavor but lowers the density.

[@HowToMakeDinner]

Good call!

[@londondaze]

Great tip. Thanks for posting that.

[@douglawson8937]

could you add flax seed to these and not ruin the texture or recipe overall? I'm thinking the addition of a tablespoon or two of water might be needed if you added ground flax seeds. Not really sure.

[@HowToMakeDinner]

Yes you can swap out the eggs for flax eggs. Mix 1 tablespoon of ground flax to 3 tablespoons of water and allow it to sit for 5 mins to gel up. They won’t be exactly the same but it should work pretty well!

[@sedulousdabbler5468]

No good for the English. Pumpkin in a tin would never sell. It would have been nice to be seen cooked with fresh pumpkin as there are loads thrown away after Halloween by those who have no appreciation of the value of food.

[@HowToMakeDinner]

You can definitely use fresh cooked pumpkin too! Just make sure it's not too watery :)

[@serahloeffelroberts9901]

Any type of winter squash works well.
