Ingredients:

2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 Tbs. pumpkin pie spice (optional – I did not add and tasted great)
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon (optional – also didn't add)
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup grapeseed oil

1 (15-ounce) can pureed pumpkin

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 9x9 baking dish.
• In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, (pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon- optional) and salt and mix well.
• In a large bowl, whisk the grapeseed oil and sugar until combined. Add the eggs, yogurt, vanilla and pumpkin and mix until fully incorporated. Add in the flour mixture and stir to incorporate the dry ingredients.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-50 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

 

Be safe, be spooky, be smart and have fun on Halloween! Check your candy before eating!

My front entrance pumpkins.

Easy DIY, just paint a solid color than add tape for stripes (easier) and opposite paint for circles. I added thick black and thin silver ribbon to the top. All supplies bought at the dollar store. This is a fun project to do with your kids.

Will be posting Halloween Pictures, after our Halloween Night, please feel free to add your comments and share your Halloween experience!
