For those with PA & egg allergies - Use a safe cake mix and add one 15 oz. can of pumpkin (skip the oil & eggs). Mix together well & bake for times specified on the cake mix box. They are good & a little bit healthier than regular cupcakes. The batter is very thick like brownie batter & I had to bake it a little bit longer than was suggested.

Yes - I do this, too! It's especially good at holiday time, made with a spice cake or the "Stir and Bake" Carrot cake (use 1/2 can pumpkin or 2 mixes). Sometimes I add chocolate chips to it and bake it in a loaf pan. Yummy!!

Thanks for the great ideas! For those w/PA allergy, I have a very easy cookie recipe.
Take 1 pkg. safe cake mix, any flavor (I use Betty Crocker). Add 1/2 cup oil & 2 eggs. Mix together w/ wooden spoon & shape into cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet (I usually get about 4 dozen). Bake at 350 degrees for 15 mins.
They are also good if you mix in chocolate chips (I use Vermont Nut Free semi-sweet chips).
I usually make a batch and put them into zip lock bags in the freezer. This way I always have a safe treat on hand for Jamie.
BTW, you can also take the entire mixture and make a "big cookie" w/ this recipe and decorate it!

Fran & Dawn- thanks for the ideas! I love finding easy to bake recipes for parties, playgroups,... Please send me more if you find some yummy ones!
mtal - Wanted to let you know that I tried the cake mix w/ pumpkin recipe and DID make the absolute best brownies w/ it!!
I used a Betty Crocker Devil's Food Cake Mix w/ the 15 oz. can of pumpkin (no eggs, water or oil) and tossed in some Vermont Nut Free semi-sweet chocolate chips. Mixed it all up and pressed it into a 13 x 9 baking pan (grease only the bottom). I baked it for 35 mins. (used the time on the box for this size cake pan) at 350 degrees.
I sprinkled the top w/ a little confectioner's sugar when I took them out. It made 18 brownies that were out of this world (and healthier!). I go to Weight Watchers and figured that w/ this recipe they are 3 points each. (Cut it into 24 brownies and omit the chips & you've got only 2 points each!)
Thanks for the great tip! We've got company coming in and I now know what I'll be baking for dessert!

plan to try this soon.
re-raising to do some baking!
Question: Can you taste the pumkin in these?
Hmmm. Might try this for dd's school B-day next week, and maybe the bo who is PA/milk allergy can have them too!
I am wondering of you taste the pumpkin also. becca
I didn't taste the pumpkin - I think it just helped to keep them moist. But, if you try it, don't forget to bake them for the longest suggested time. They definetly turn out better that way!
I did this tonight with Betty Crocker chocolate cake mix, but had a can of squash, not pumpkin. The texture was perfect(I did a 9x12) and baked 40 mins. exactly.
I do taste the squash, which I generally consider milder. It does not bother me, but I might think there was a funny taste there if I did not know. Great idea.
Would applesause or yogurt work, do you think?? In the same quantity? becca
