I&#8217;ve had the same problem. You bought one of those (huge) cans of pumpkin puree and now you are left with about 2 more cups of this thing, and you are wondering: &#8220;Well Gabriel, what do I do now with those 2 cans of leftover pumpkin puree?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, you could make some more muffins, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onecleverchef.com\/pumpkin-protein-pancakes-healthy\/\">pancakes<\/a>, but here are a few other ideas to quickly (and deliciously!) use your leftover pumpkin:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Add it to your favorite curry recipe<\/strong>! At least it is how I used mine. I made a huge curry with leftover turkey, potatoes, carrots, pumpkin puree, coconut milk, cauliflower, yellow curry powder, garlic, and chicken broth. Heavenly. Unfortunately, I don&#8217;t have the measurements, as I always &#8220;taste and adjust&#8221; when I cook for my family, but who knows, maybe this recipe will become a future blog post! But in the meantime, a quick solution would be to add the extra pumpkin to your favorite curry recipe and simply add more coconut milk or chicken broth and adjust spicing accordingly.<\/li><li><strong>Stir it into a cheesy pasta sauce <\/strong>or mac n cheese<\/li><li><strong>Add it to a smoothie<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Replace the mashed banana<\/strong> in your favorite banana bread recipe<\/li><li><strong>Freeze it<\/strong> for a future recipe<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"680\" height=\"850\" data-pin-description=\"These Healthy Pumpkin Protein Muffins are super easy to make as they are done using a blender.
