24 ways to use leftover pumpkin scraps

If you’ve ever found yourself staring at a few tablespoons of canned pumpkin wondering what to do with it or how, you’ve come to the right place!

It turns out that recipes that use an entire 15-ounce can of pumpkin are sometimes few and far between. And actually for good reason. Adding the entire amount of pumpkin (a little less than two cups) to a recipe that only calls for 1 cup pumpkin can lead to baked goods that are heavy, filling – and may not turn out well.

Never fear! There are so many other ways to spend all that pumpkin money!

If you have sharp bits of leftover pumpkin in your freezer, Consider using one of the many methods below! Stuffed pumpkin is incredibly versatile and can be used in many pumpkin recipes with great results. ⬇️⬇️
