For Ginger
Posted by journeytomom on December 6, 2006
In response to my Breakfast for Dinner post, Ginger asked:
It seems like last year our Costco had some pumpkin based thing put out by Krusteaz and there were several recipes on the side of the box for cookies/muffins, etc. They were fabulous!
Do you have any ideas or suggestions. Krusteaz’s website offered no help.
Thanks!
First, let me apologize for taking so long to respond. I’ve had several posts on my mind but no time to sit down and type ‘em out. Now I’m afraid it’s “too late” for some, but maybe not. Folks might have turkey again for Christmas, so perhaps I’ll still post about the wonderful turkey soup I made from the carcas and leftovers. Anyway, back to the topic at hand.
What I have is the Krusteaz Pumpkin Spice Quick Bread Mix. As far as muffins go, just use the basic quick bread instructions and spoon the batter into muffin tins instead of a bread pan. I made some for a meeting tonight and they turned out well. To make them more of a treat I added a half bag of white chocolate chips I had. On the side of the box is the following recipe for:
Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies
- 1 pouch Quick Bread Mix
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 cup quick-cooking oats
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 taspoon nutmeg
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1/2 cup raisins, optional
- sugar, optional
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place quick bread mix and butter in medium bowl. Using an electric mixer, mix on medium speed for 1 minute. Add egg, oats, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and water. Continue to mix on medium speed until dough forms. Stir in raisins, if desired. Using rounded tablespoon dough for each cookie, form balls and roll in sugar, if desired. Place 2 inches apart onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake 11-13 minutes. Makes 2 dozen cookies.
On the box are also recipes for Pumpkin Swirl Snack Cake and Caramel Pumpkin Cake. I’d be happy to post or email those if anyone is looking for them. This box came with three pouches. I used one for 2 separate batches of pumpkin pancakes – which were very good. I used the second one tonight for muffins. I have only one left. I’m certain I will find good use for it before the year is out.

I made these cookies for a Thanksgiving dinner at my friend’s house and they loved them =) Thanks for posting the recipe because I accidentally threw away the box last week without writing it down!

Thank you so much for the cookie recipe. Like everyone else I made the cookies and everyone loved them. (I made them for 7 neighbors) I also threw out the box before writing down the recipe only to find out that the Krusteaz Pumpkin Spice Quick Bread is a ’seasonal item’ and I could not buy anymore at the locals stores. I have purchased the Quick Bread online but I am paying a high price for them but it is a MUST HAVE for me. I will be making a double batch this weekend~~~ohhhhh so good. I wish that the stores would carry this product year round.
Again~~~thanks so much for the pumpkin-oatmeal cookie recipe.

Do you still have the recipe for the caramel pumpkin cake? I made it a couple years ago and now can’t find the recipe.
Missy said
Funny you should ask, Karen. My husband just pulled the box out a few days ago stating I should bake something. That recipe is on the box, and I’ll email it to you.
Merry Christmas,
Melissa

Missy,
Can you please email me that recipe for the caramel pumpkin cake? My new box has different recipes on it!! It’s the one with the butterscotch chips, right?
Thank you so much!
