Slow Cooker Vegan Pumpkin Butter

Looking for an easy fall-inspired spread that you can easily make in a slow cooker? Well, you just found your recipe! This homemade pumpkin butter warming, spiced, and made with seven simple ingredients, including pumpkin pie spice, 100% pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and more. Just like apple butter, pumpkin butter has a rich, creamy, and subtly tangy flavor is complemented by sugars.

Regarding the nutritional flavor profile, this is not the healthiest thing on the planet to consume. It is, however, homemade and free of artificial flavors and ultra-processed ingredients. Canned pumpkin puree is an excellent source of fiber and vitamin A, but make sure to buy that instead of pumpkin pie filling. One cup of cooked pumpkin, for example, contains about 49 calories, 12 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of fiber, and 7 grams of sugar. It also contains vitamins C & E, potassium, and iron.

Even though this homemade pumpkin butter calls for a specific amount of sugar, you can opt for less if you want to watch your sugar intake. Because this recipe cooks in the slow cooker, the flavors will infuse beautifully and it will still spread like a luxurious, soft butter once it cools. You can also add other nutritious ingredients like chia seeds or raw nut butter, but that may affect the spreadability and texture of the pumpkin butter.

Pumpkin Chia Pudding

Pumpkin spice is in the air, which means fall is in full swing. You cannot go out without seeing pumpkin spice! From coffee creamers and baked treats to lattes and more, pumpkin spice is in nearly everything. Not only is pumpkin spice or pumpkin pie glorious, but it is also warming, comforting, and tasty. And the great thing about this recipe is that you can enjoy it without the added sugars and excess calories.

Pumpkin puree, not sugary pumpkin pie filling, is highly nutritious. Orange pumpkins are naturally rich in potassium, calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin A, which is a key nutrient for eye health. Like other orange fruits and vegetables, pumpkins have lots of beta-carotene, an integral antioxidant that may keep your skin glowing. The fiber in pumpkin puree helps you feel full, so you won’t reach for unnecessary snacks after eating it. But pumpkin isn’t the only star of the show in this recipe. The chia seeds provide an impressive nutritional profile.

Chia seeds provide a similar amount of omega-3 fatty acids as ground flaxseed, but it is in the form of alpha linolenic acid (ALA). They are rich in fiber, which may help reduce cholesterol levels and promote healthier digestion. Because chia seeds can clump easily in this chia pudding, you have to whisk thoroughly before placing in the fridge to set overnight. After about six hours in the fridge, the liquid-like mixture thickens to turn into a pudding that has a similar texture to tapioca. Enjoy it as a healthy dessert or as a nutritious breakfast. Just as a reminder, though, this is only for people who are not cleansing because it is not raw vegan.

Keto & Vegan Pumpkin Spice No Bake Balls

Vinnie Stevens — Mon, 02 Oct 2023 17:41:00 +0000

There is a snack problem in the United States. Too often to people snack on foods that don’t satisfy their hunger. It is impossible to only reach into a bag of chips a couple times if you want to snack. You can easily finish a bag of chips because there are no real nutrients. Snacking on processed foods will only lead you to eat more, increasing your caloric intake and your risk of weight gain. Instead, it is better to snack on foods that satiate you, such as energy balls.

With the arrival of fall comes the tidal wave of pumpkin spice, and we are more than ready for impact. Pumpkin spice utilizes warming fall spices and other seasonal ingredients. Although canned pumpkin puree is available year round, it is more prevalent on supermarket shelves during the fall and winter months. It is very important that you do not purchase pumpkin pie filling for this recipe. Pumpkin pie filling contains preservatives and excess sodium and sugar. So make sure to get 100% pure pumpkin puree to stay healthy.

Before you scroll down to the ingredients, please note that you should not substitute the coconut flour with another type of flour as a one to one ratio. That will not work. Coconut flour acts like a sponge, absorbing liquid incredibly well. You can keep this keto-approved by using almond meal or almond flour, but you will have to double the amount. Should you use another flour like oat flour, the recipe will no longer be keto-approved, nor will it be gluten-free.

No-Bake Vegan Pumpkin Cheesecake

Vinnie Stevens — Sat, 26 Nov 2022 17:57:00 +0000

It may or may not be up for debate, but pumpkin seems to be the official ingredient of the holidays. There are endless pumpkin creations, from muffins and pies to coffee drinks and soups. People tend to use fresh pumpkin in savory recipes, although you can make sweeter recipes and pumpkin puree from raw pumpkin. Pumpkin puree, which you can easily buy in a can, is what we will be using for this no-bake cheesecake.

There is a difference between pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin puree is 100% pumpkin and does not contain any sugars, artificial flavors, dyes, unhealthy fats, or processed ingredients. Pumpkin pie filling, on the other hand, is very unhealthy and loaded with sugar. That means that you need to pay attention to what can you purchase when you go to the grocery store. Get the 100% pumpkin puree in a can!

This recipe is the perfect dessert for the holidays, being super rich, satisfying, and delicious. The best part is that even though this dessert is not overly sweet, it contends with classic pumpkin pie recipes. The nuttiness of the crust complements the sweetness of the pumpkin filling, which has a luxurious texture from the fatty coconut milk. Now, eating a lot of this dessert is very easy to do, but it is calorically dense, so just be careful with your servings.

Post-Cleanse Pumpkin Chai Smoothie

Vinnie Stevens — Mon, 22 Nov 2021 17:49:00 +0000

Some people say that the pumpkin craze has gotten out of hand. Everyone has an opinion; ours just so happens to be that we love pumpkin. Yes, it’s a squash, but it’s sweet, rich in fiber, and offers a lot of beta-carotene. You don’t necessarily have to use fresh pumpkin, though, as it can give the smoothie a very fibrous, grainy texture. That’s why this smoothie calls for pumpkin puree, which gives the smoothie a luscious texture.

The pumpkin and chai flavor combo maybe one of the best in the business. You can easily make chai seasoning with a few spices that you may already have in the spice cabinet. These are the spices that may not always get the love they deserve, but you have them just for this recipe. You’ll need cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger powder. If you want to add a dash of nutmeg or allspice, that will only enhance the chai flavor.

Although mixing pumpkin puree with the chai spices would be great on its own, you need a few more ingredients to bring the smoothie home. The banana adds sweetness and a creamy base, while the pecans give it the nuttiness that you crave. One could argue that blending the pecans into this smoothie makes it seem like you’re enjoying pumpkin pie filling and the crust. Lastly, you need some alcohol-free vanilla extract, a date, some ice cubes, and unsweetened almond milk for optimum creaminess.

Important Note: Do not buy pumpkin pie filling in the can. You want to buy 100% pure pumpkin puree, which does not contain added sweeteners, flavors, or excess fats. The pumpkin puree is pure pumpkin goodness, and it has a diverse nutritional profile too!

It’s National Pumpkin Day 2017

Vinnie Stevens — Thu, 26 Oct 2017 11:30:54 +0000

Even though it isn’t Halloween and we are about a month away from Thanksgiving, the pumpkin obsession has spread across the nation; and we can’t get enough. The time for getting in the pumpkin patch is nigh! Did we get too old timey for you? Regardless of your views on historical phrasing, we can all agree that the pumpkin is the most signature produce item of fall.

Pumpkins grab your attention, whether they are making faces or in roasted vegetable medleys. And don’t even get us started on pumpkin seeds. They are one of the best healthy snacks out there. Make sure you roast them when you gut your pumpkins.

Pumpkin Tip: Baby pumpkins are the best pumpkins to cook with. The large carving pumpkins aren’t really meant for consumption, but you can roast their seeds.

Pumpkins are grown on every single continent, except in the Arctic or Antarctica. The United States alone produces about 1.5 billion pounds of pumpkins each year. To record, a farmer in Wisconsin grew the largest pumpkin. It weighed 1,810 pounds and was the size of a dumpster. It had to cleanse because it was obese. Joking aside, National Pumpkin Day should be celebrated by making some delicious pumpkin recipes. Find some inspiration below.
