Can You Substitute Pumpkin Pie Mix For Pumpkin Puree?
No, pumpkin pie mix and pumpkin puree are not interchangeable. Pumpkin pie mix already has sugar and spices added to it, whereas pumpkin puree is simply cooked, mashed pumpkin. If you substitute pumpkin pie mix for pumpkin puree in a recipe, the result will likely be too sweet and spiced, and may throw off the balance of flavors in the recipe.
