Michelle's Pumpkin Balls

Warn pumpkin goodness!

Needed Items:
2 Packages of Jiffy or Organic Cornbread Mix.
1 Can of Black Refried Beans (12 to 15 oz)
1 Can of Pumpkin (12 to 15 oz)
Large Baking Sheet
Large Bowl

Optional:
Cinnamon Sugar to Taste

If Needed:
Extra Cornmeal

* Mix the Cornbread Mix, Black Refried Beans, and Pumpkin together in large bowl with hands till cookie dough texture. (Add Cinnamon Sugar if Desired.) 

* If not think enough add a bit of cornmeal till at right texture.

*Roll with hands into dough balls and cook on tray in oven at 225F till dried out.  At 6,500' this took 1 and 1/2 hours to 3 hrs.

This is a recipe I first found on Women of the Fur Trade, but have modified a wee bit.  I use black refried beans.  I make half plain, and half with some added cinnamon sugar.  This is Rob and my favorite travel food, and I keep them on hand  for breakfast food too!  They are so tasty if you give them a chance.  Don't expect sweet, but good they are!
