Hesty made this for Ruby Starfire because there was extra Pumpkin Puree lying around but not enough to make more Pumpkin Bread. While it's not something he would normally drink, Ruby does find it a wonderful autumn drink, finely paired with Pumpkin Bread, and a terrific way to use up any remaining pumpkin.

Another nice little recipe from CookingWithApril (video down below) and a very good way to deal with extra pumpkin. Unlike most pumpkin bars Hesty has tried, these are not greasy and despite the amount of sugar in them, they don't taste sweet at all. My dear sister Hesty says to try these with whipped cream or plain yogurt for a yummy morning breakfast.
