Due to poor weather conditions last fall, our pumpkin harvest was smaller than we expected. This is why you may be having difficulty finding Libby’s Pumpkin. Unfortunately, we will continue to be in short supply until our next harvest in the fall.
Early in the harvest last year, it looked like we would have plenty of pumpkin, but Mother Nature had other plans for us. The heavy rains throughout the harvest have made it nearly impossible to pick our pumpkins. That's because tractors and other equipment were not able to move through the saturated fields. We hope she's better to us this season, giving us a little less rain and a lot more sunshine because we are already planning to plant even more acres of pumpkins. This way everyone can enjoy as many delicious pumpkin dishes as they want!
So I substituted sweet potato casserole found in the can food isles...look for Glory brand.... and I think I've fallen in love all over again!

| This is what you'll be needing... |
1 snack size apple sauce
13oz can sweet potato casserole, mashed up with a fork a little(or use a 1 large sweet potato cooked, mashed...just won't be as sweet)
4oz fat free cream cheese, softened
2 egg whites (equivalent to 1 egg)
3tlbs splenda sugar blend for baking (or 1/4cup of sugar)
3/4cup of fat free soy milk (milk or water can be used as well)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Weigh out 13oz of sweet potato in to a large bowl and mash a little with the back of a fork...will be chunky and will make the batter lumpy, but trust me IT"S ALL GOOD! Now add apple sauce, cream cheese, egg whites, splenda and soy milk. Blend together with the fork, then add pancake mix and continue to blend. Now, with paper cupcake liners, line your cup cake pans and spray with a spot of PAM to keep muffins from sticking...divide batter into the 24 liners...pop in the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes. Once baked remove muffins from the pan and cool on a wire cooling rack...and now you have some really yummy goodness....ENJOY!

I love the way you improvise! I had forgotten all about the canned pumpkin shortage and would've thought by now it would be all caught up again...but it sounds like you have found a way to make do without it.
They look yummy!
Thanks Sweetie! You know I just heard on the radio on Monday that the shortage is over and they should have pumpkin on the store shelves by the holidays this year....Then they were talking about how last year there were people on ebay that were selling cans of pumpkin for $20 a can! I still have 1 can that I had bought and was saving it...I should've sold it!!!
