Cooking pumpkin seeds and pumpkin muffins on dutch oven
Good morning everyone. This morning I purchased a pumpkin. I drove in front of like a pumpkin
field and I was like I feel to have like a little pumpkin moment. I know it's not actual Halloween
but whatever you know. So we're gonna cook a couple things with the pumpkin. We'll see
we'll see how good it's gonna be. Oh it's got a lot of stuff. It's full.
So one other thing that we're gonna do. We're gonna do a couple things today.
So one other thing that I love to do and that's a recipe that my mom used to do
and if you never try it oh my god you are missing out on something else.
The pumpkin seed those little ones are so good. They're nothing to do with what you might purchase
at the store. Like I never find anyone doing those things like this. We're gonna roast them
and I'm thinking with the flash that I could make a pumpkin muffin. I used to make some too
before and I was like it's been a while. I'm not like a huge pumpkin fan if you want of like cooking
but you know that's the time of year. It's good I mean it's kind of like different.
So we're gonna oh there's a lot of stuff inside. It's full. We're gonna have a lot of pumpkin seed
I'm not gonna decorate the pumpkin because we're gonna use the flesh.
I need to cook in fact that's true. I realized that I grabbed a recipe yesterday for the
pumpkin muffin and I need some pumpkin puree which I think I'm gonna grab some flesh
put in a dutch oven cook that for a couple minutes. I don't know how long it's gonna take me
to make some kind of puree and after that we're gonna make the muffin.
Maybe I should have breakfast before because
now I'm thinking that's gonna take me a little while before my muffin's gonna be ready. Oh well
I'm making a mess everywhere guys
and I do have a lot of pumpkin seed so I'm gonna clean that up but let's do let's put this first
so I think I'm gonna install my little support. If you don't know you need three little branches
that go into that and your dutch oven can hang there so let's see if that's gonna work
All right so the pumpkin seems to be cooked so I'm just gonna let it cool down right now
and we're gonna puree that and start the muffin. Yeah I could have something to eat pretty soon
I'm just getting hungry and I just dry the pumpkin seed with a paper towel
and I think if you put that in the oven probably around like 350 for I don't know half an hour
maybe or so until they are crispy but I'm just gonna make them in the cast iron pan
because my dutch oven is gonna be used and yeah we'll see how they're gonna turn out
and I just put a little bit of oil salt pepper that's it so good this is good
I never ate some roasted maybe with some spice. Okay I add a cup and a half of puree and I put a
little bit less milk than I was asking because I feel like my puree is maybe more liquid than
what a can would be and I just realized that it's gonna make 12. I should have made maybe half of it
but apparently I can freeze that so maybe I can just you know keep six and freeze six let's see
so to make my muffin I have this here that I'm gonna put
perfectly in the bottom of the dutch oven and those little metal cup that I'm gonna put here
how many I can make one two three four five six awesome I can make six that's perfect
so for a little topping I'm just gonna crush cut some walnuts and brown sugar
do a little mix on top it's gonna be good all right this should bake for half an hour I think
oh no I forgot oh no my pumpkin oh so I removed the
the burn one they're almost ready I'm just gonna put them really on the edge so they don't burn
again all right I don't want my muffin to burn too either instead of working on my van because
but you guys probably thought that today will finish like my cabinet for my fridge and this
morning for the past two weeks I feel like just a tiny little stuff coming up and it's just
been annoying like my leak obviously of my high top if you don't know after that this morning
well yesterday my laptop froze perfectly while I was editing a video and everything was just
shutting like completely shut down I was not able to turn my laptop on so it was like oh no
I finally turned it back on but I lost my whole editing of my video so this morning
I woke up early did that so I could post it for this morning and after that I was like
okay I don't I don't feel to do any construction today I just feel it's gonna be a disaster
and I was like oh I'm just gonna relax in the backcountry and all this
that's the first time I sit down and enjoy my bar
okay I didn't have a tooth not toothpaste a little stick to poke to stick
I didn't have it so I made one with a little piece of wood I'm like that would work
okay I guess the only good way to figure out is to open them
they look good I think that's a success
oh yeah cooked perfectly guys I'm so happy
all right I made a second batch only two and a half I didn't really split things properly
and see if this is if you never add pumpkin seed like this it become like super crispy like
chip seriously it tastes like mini chip it's so good
I'm so impressed the other day they all turned out good no burn at all
probably cook it's hard to uh when you bake something in a dutch oven that's kind of like
a darker color it's hard to see if they're burning or not they're perfect so this is
still a little pumpkin seed the camera try to focus on me it's so crispy
you probably don't want to hear the river but I'm telling you they are crispy
