Pumpkin Spice Breakfast Cakes.
Since it’s September, I no longer feel like I am committing a sin by using pumpkin.
Is it back on the shelves?
I wouldn’t know – I’m still using pumpkin from last year. And I’m darn proud of it.
I love these breakfast cakes for multiple reasons. First, I don’t think I’ve ever made a breakfast cake. I don’t really know what considers this a breakfast cake, but I like the name. And obviously I would love eating cake for breakfast. Who wouldn’t?
Second – individual portions. I think that speaks for itself. If I eat two ramekins of cake, I really only had two pieces of cake. Right? That’s what I thought.
Third, I made them with whole wheat flour. I don’t care if that means nothing since there is sugar, butter and a doubly sugary glaze hiding in all the cake crevices, but I like it. It makes me feel good in my bones.
Notice I only made two breakfast cakes.
“Only” is the operative word here considering there is only one person in this house that likes pumpkin. And it isn’t Mr. How Sweet.
You do the math.
(Because, seriously, I’m really bad at math.)

I love pumpkin and especially now with the autumn season coming it will work perfectly. What a great idea to make them in idividual pots. Genius!

No pumpkin on the shelves in Southern Oregon yet, but they had the the whole pie pumpkins so I bought one and roasted and pureed it. Totally worth it since I’m eating pumpkin bread right now. Still have 2 1/2 cups of puree to freeze and I think I’ll try this recipe since it doesn’t use a ton of pumpkin!
Holy moly! These look amazing. Love! It’s still too hot in LA to make anything with pumpkin, but as soon as it hits October I’ll be all over it.
I just wanted to share that my grandma and I are addicted to these tasty little cakes. We have eaten them 3 times the last week. Thank goodness for kettlebell workouts to counteract the deliciousness of these treats. We tried it with a creamcheese/maple/pumpkin spice frosting the other day and mmmmm it was tasty! Thanks for sharing

Aaaaw, this was THE BEST BREAKFAST. Totally worth getting up early to slaughter my very last pumpkin… had this one with maple sirup and totally ate them both at once. Thanks so much for sharing these great recipes! U ve got fans in Germany ;)
Hi I have given up adding sugar. Would it be okay to leave it out and perhaps add stevia or something similar? Rice Syrup or agave syrup for sweetness?
