Peanut Butter Pumpkin Dip With Cinnamon Chips Food

FESTIVE PUMPKIN DIP

Steps:

• Beat together the first four ingredients.
• Stir in the bell pepper and olives.
• Chill until serving!

PUMPKIN/PEANUT BUTTER DIP

Steps:

• Combine all of the ingredients above.
• Cut apples, bananas and other fruit into bite-sized pieces to serve with the dip. Serve as a snack or with a meal.

PEANUT BUTTER PUMPKIN DIP WITH CINNAMON CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• For the dip, put peanut butter, pumpkin, honey and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon in a small food processor.
• Process until well blended. (It will have a slightly whipped texture). If you don't have a food processor use an electric hand mixer, or mix by hand, but a processor will likely give the best result.
• Split pita breads in half so you have two rounds from each pita. The easiest way I found to do this was to cut the pita in half then pull the halves apart. Use a pizza cutter to cut into triangles (they don't have to be perfect -- just rip them into pieces if you want).
• Make cinnamon-sugar by combining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and granulated sugar in a small bowl.
• Lay pita triangles on cookie sheet in one layer, rough side up, spray lightly with cooking spray, and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture.
• Bake for 7-9 minutes, until chips are browned and crisp. Watch carefully, as they can burn in just one minute too long. In my oven, 9 minutes was perfect.
• Remove from oven, let cool, repeat with remaining chips and serve with dip.
• If not serving right away, refrigerate dip and store chips in a well sealed container or storage bag.
• If you have cinnamon-sugar left, make cinnamon toast or add it to your coffee!

SPICED PUMPKIN & PECAN SCONES WITH CINNAMON CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 F / 200 C / Gas 6. Lightly grease a baking tray or line with parchment paper.
• Cream together butter and sugar, then beat in egg, pumpkin puree, maple syrup or extract (if using), and 4 tablespoons milk until smooth. Add the mixed spice to the pumpkin mixture, taste and adjust the spices to taste. Stir in flour and oatmeal until a dough forms, add nuts and chips, then knead a few times on a well floured surface until the dough holds together. Press the dough into a flat circle 1 to 1.5cm thick. Cut into 6 wedges, place onto greased baking tray, and brush the tops with 2 tablespoons of milk and sprinkle with spiced sugar (mixture of sugar and spice).
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on top and bottom, 15 to 20 minutes. Once done, wrap scones with a clean tea towel and allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving (with the honey butter from referenced recipe if preferred.).

PUMPKIN GINGER SCONES WITH CINNAMON CHIPS

Steps:

• Combine 1/2 c sugar, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
• Cut 5 Tbsp butter into dry ingredients until crumbly.
• In separate bowl combine the egg, pumpkin, sour cream and ginger.
• Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix well.
• Mix in cinnamon chips.
• Turn out on lightly floured surface and knead 10x. I add extra flour here as the dough is usually a bit moist.
• Divide dough in half and form each half into a 1/2 inch thick circle.
• Cut each circle into 8 wedges.
• Brush wedges with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake on ungreased cookie sheet in preheated 425 degree oven for 10 minutes or until lightly golden on edges.

PEANUT BUTTER PUMPKINS

Steps:

• Line cookie sheet with waxed paper. In 2-quart saucepan, melt peanut butter chips over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. Remove from heat. Stir in frosting and icing color until well blended. Refrigerate until cool enough to handle, about 1 hour.
• Shape mixture into 1 1/4-inch balls; flatten slightly. Use edge of rubber spatula to make grooves in each ball to resemble pumpkin. Press 1 pretzel piece into top of each for stem; place on cookie sheet. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving. Store in covered container in refrigerator.

DOG BISCUITS: PEANUT BUTTER AND PUMPKIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine dry ingredients in a bowl (flour, oats, salt, and cinnamon) and mix.
• In a stand mixer bowl, combine the eggs, pumpkin, and peanut butter. Combine the 2 together and start to work the dough. If you don't have a mixer, then just do it by hand.
• The dough should be dry and stiff. You might need to add just a bit of water.
• Roll the dough about 1/2-inch-thick and cut with cookie cutters or a knife.
• Bake on a parchment or silpat lined cookie sheet for about 30-40 minutes, or until hard. The baking time depends on if you are making big treats, or little ones so adjust the times. Little treats I would check at around 15 minutes or so.
• Store in an airtight container.
