I was very excited when Tricia asked me to guest post on her blog. I wanted to share a fun, festive and healthy recipe, so I decided to break out my favorite ingredient – pumpkin! I love baking with pumpkin because it’s incredibly healthy! 100grams provides just 26 calories and contains no saturated fats or cholesterol; yet, it is rich in dietary fiber, anti-oxidants, minerals, vitamins.
My recipe was originally inspired by this recipe I found on Pinterest, because it was listed in grams (and I love using my EatSmart Kitchen Scale – and it looked pretty tasty. I decided to leave out the eggs and use almond milk and dairy free chocolate chips to make it a “vegan” dish.
I have made this two times since, using regular 2% milk, honey instead of agave and Nestle dark chocolate chips and it came out great! (Keep in mind you can no longer use the “vegan” term if you use any dairy products.) Regardless, it’s a great treat to have around the house in place of processed cookies, cakes or brownies and it’s very easy (and quick!) to make.
