Pumpkin Logs

What are Pumpkin Logs without any pumpkin?  A Halloween Misadventure!

It seems that pumpkin was omitted from the recipe for pumpkin logs.  I have been notified that 1/2 cup of canned pumpkin will make things right!

Here is the corrected recipe: 

For the Birds ~ Pumpkin Logs 

1 cup Gabanzo beans (chick peas) soaked, skimmed and cooked **
1/2 cup canned pumpkin

1/2 cup old fashioned Quaker oats
1 egg
1 tsp. agave nectar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped

Using a food processor, add everything except the pecans. Put pecans in a small bowl.

Pulse until you have a thick paste. With wet hands roll into a ball the size of a large walnut. Then into a log 3/4" thick by 3" long. Roll in the pecans. Place on cookie sheet lightly sprayed with cooking oil. Bake at 325 for 25 minutes.

Yield: 15 logs

** 1 lb. of dry Gabanzo beans, soaked, foam removed and cooked will yield 6 cups of beans. When drained and cooled, put into 1 cup bags and freeze. Take them out to go into recipes for cookies, mash and breads.
