Another Pumpkin recipe!!!

Recipe from Chocolate Covered Katie's blog! Check her out!!

Pumpkin Bread in a Bowl
(can be gluten-free)
Inspired by this awesomeness.
  • 1/3 c canned pumpkin (or cooked pumpkin)
  • 3/4 c nondairy milk
  • 1 cup flake cereal (I like spelt flakes, but bran, corn, etc will work. Some people have even used oatmeal!)
  • 1/4 to 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • sweetener (such as stevia, sugar, or even maple syrup)
  • optional: chocolate chips, pecans
Blend all ingredients together. The cereal will have a thin consistency at first, but if you leave it in the fridge (after blending) for even just 10 minutes, it starts to get really thick! I usually make it before I run, and it’s the consistency of thick pudding by the time I return.

If you’re using the optional pecans or chocolate chips, you can either blend them right in or sprinkle them on top after serving.





I haven't tryed this but Oh it looks YUMMY!!

Enjoy!
