For a richer flavor, roast the pumpkin with a drizzle of maple syrup or a sprinkle of cinnamon before baking. If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can use a potato masher or immersion blender to puree the pumpkin. To thaw frozen pumpkin puree, place it in the refrigerator overnight or submerge the freezer bag in a bowl of cold water until thawed.
