To the extent that we had 3 or 4 extra whole pies! Happily, pumpkin pie is awesome for breakfast. But, beyond the holidays, breakfast prep should be simple. This is a less-sweet-but-delicious, crustless, whip-it-up-it-before-going-to-bed solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>3 eggs<\/li><li>2 tsp cinnamon<\/li><li>1\/2 tsp EACH: ground ginger, cardamom, and salt<\/li><li>Optional:&nbsp;1\/4 tsp grated nutmeg,&nbsp;1\/8 tsp ground cloves<\/li><li>15 oz can pumpkin puree (about 1.75 cups)<\/li><li>1.25 cups milk (swap in some cream for extra richness!)<\/li><li>6 Tbsp honey, maple syrup, or a combination<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Preheat oven to 375.&nbsp;In a large bowl, beat eggs. Stir in spices and pumpkin, then milk and sweetener.&nbsp;Grease a pie pan or 8&#215;8-inch baking dish. Pour in pumpkin mixture, and bake for 45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve with yogurt and granola.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notes: If you&#8217;d like to roast a&nbsp;pumpkin or squash and make your own pumpkin puree, it works best to cut squashes in half, scoop out seeds,&nbsp;roast, scoop out flesh, and blend with the milk. Aim for 3 cups pumpkin\/dairy combined total before you add the other ingredients. (Check early when baking &#8211; roasted squash has less moisture than canned.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, fresh ginger is a flavor bonus: peel a 2-inch chunk, grate it finely, then press in a fine-mesh strainer to extract the juice. (About 2 tsp.) Use instead of dried ginger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pumpkin pie is awesome for breakfast.
