Yesterday when I got home, there was a mysterious package on the front step. I couldn’t remember if I had ordered anything or not…is that a bad thing?? Anyways, I love getting packages, especially when there is a surprise inside. I quickly opened up the package to find my winnings from the Dunkin Donuts #ddkcup Twitter contest…Pumpkin K-Cups!
They asked participants to tweet why they should be one of the first to receive the Pumpkin K-Cups. I tweeted, and I ended up winning. What a great little treat! I can’t wait to try these out.
In the spirit of pumpkin, I really wanted to try a new-to-me pumpkin breakfast. Yesterday, I saw that Laura from Sprint 2 the Table and Meg from A Dash of Meg had both made a pumpkin scramble. Trying sweet eggs had been something on my to-do list for a couple of weeks now, and they both swore that this dish was amazing…so I had to try it.
Well, they were completely right! This dish is softer than typical scrambled eggs, has a slightly sweet and pumpkin pie-like taste and texture, and is just plain delicious.
I made a couple of adaptions to Meg’s original recipe. Here is how I made my batch:
Pumpkin Scramble
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup liquid egg whites
- 1/2 cup plain canned pumpkin
- 1 packet stevia
- 1 sprinkle of cinnamon
- 2 Tbsp raw oats
- 1 tsp-1Tbsp peanut or almond butter
Brian and I had another little surprise waiting for us on Facebook…some of our save-the-date photos were posted!
Honestly, we love them all and do not know how we will ever choose!
Do you get that “pumpkin fever” as soon as fall hits?
I totally get pumpkin fever! I could eat it all year round, but try to save it for fall so it stays special 
If you are married/engaged…how did you pick your save the date photo!?
Brian and I are really going to struggle with this!

I love that everyone is making the sweet scrambles!!! I never thought to microwave it… you may have just changed my life.
The microwaving is so convenient…and I need to try other sweet scrambles. They are so good!
cutest pictures. I need to make that pumpkin scramble. sounds delicious!
It truly is tasty!! Let me know if you try it!
Your pictures are adorable! I really like the last one (though they’re all really cute!) I love pumpkin stuff too… I’ve been holding off because its such a cool-weather comfort food and our weather has stayed in the 80s though it has dipped into the 60s in the early morning, late evenings!
Thanks so much!!
I know, luckily it has been cool in the mornings so the pumpkin feels appropriate, but I totally understand wanting to wait until it is truly “fall”!!
this looks amazing, hun! thank you so much for trying it! you got me craving it now
Thanks for sharing such a great idea in the first place!! I am so glad to have a new breakfast staple
