Canned pumpkin: cup-to-can
Pumpkin purée is dense and moist at about 245 g per cup. The standard 15 oz can holds about 1¾ cups, and the large 29 oz can about 3⅓ cups — handy, since most pumpkin recipes are built around one can. Just make sure it's pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling, which is already sweetened and spiced.
Its moisture also makes it a popular swap for oil in muffins and quick breads, cutting fat while keeping things tender.
