So, I had a dream last night that we had a perfectly ripe pumpkin growing in our garden. I was so excited that the vine had sprouted!
And then I woke up and realized that we didn’t plant any this year. Drat.
Instead of feeling sad about missing out, I decided to round up some allergy-friendly pumpkin recipes from around the web for my favorite readers. If you’ve slogged through recipe after recipe full of disappointing ingredients, these should fit the bill.
Pumpkin Fever
The Basics
Homemade Pumpkin Puree – how else are you going to get that big orange ball stuffed into so many yummy foods?
DIY Pumpkin Pie Spice – and the spice to go with it
Let’s Get Ready to Puuuuuumpkin!
Pumpkin Pie Smoothie – this is my kind of recipe: easy, quick, and light on clean up; just DON’T use soy milk. Need a coconut milk recipe? Try my thick and creamy coconut milk.
Pumpkin Hummus – I love how creative this is! I would use sprouted chick peas in place of tahini for any easy and wallet-friendly substitute.
Cinnamon Maple Pumpkin Seed Butter – don’t forget to sprout your seeds!
Pumpkin Sourdough Pancakes – this one includes fermented wheat and an egg, but I couldn’t pass up sharing it. There is nothing I love more than rye sourdough pancakes.
Pumpkin Fudge – I live in Michigan, and, if you know Michigan, fudge is famous. This version avoids all my no-no foods and makes me want to break out in my awkward version of the Running Man (if you’re scratching your head, it’s a 90’s thing).
Pumpkin Spice Playdough – this treat is going to score major mom points with Katie! We’ll make a rice flour version, since I don’t keep white flour in the house.
Pumpkin Creme Face Mask – And I couldn’t resist throwing in a pumpkin face mask, because we’re all about DIY pampering here. Coconut milk will sub well for dairy if need be.
Enjoy!
