Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

good but a little bland. I would add a banana to the recipe and maybe some honey or something. cinnamon might be good too. they baked up fine and i think would freeze well. will try with some modifications.

Fundamentally, this is a flat bran muffin -- not that there's anything wrong with that. I did make some changes from the recipe: I used milk instead of boiling water and heated the milk/bran cereal in the microwave; I used homemade kefir instead of buttermilk; I used a mashed ripe banana instead of applesauce; and I used a 9x9-inch pan. This only needed 30 minutes to bake, so you may want to watch the baking time carefully.
