Re: I need a pumpkin sweet recipe

There are many different variations on it, but here are a few that I do:

Pumpkin with cream cheese:
1. Soften 1 oz. cream cheese in microwave.
2. Add 1/2 can pumpkin, stevia, cinnamon
3. Microwave until hot. You can add nuts (chopped pecans are THE BEST!) if on Rung 3

Pumpkin mock danish:
1. Beat 2 eggs.
2. Add 1/2 can pumpkin, mix well.
3. Add cinnamon (or other spices) and sweetener, flax and nuts also optional
4. Microwave on medium for about 5 minutes
5. I also add cocoa to this and it's sort of like a brownie!

Warm Pumpkin:
1. Heat 1/2 can of pumpkin until warm.
2. Add spices, sweetener, butter (or ghee if you are DF).
3. This one is very simple, but suitable for candida-cleanse diets, FODMAP diet, dairy-free, etc.

I just wanted to add, feel free to experiment with whatever legal ingredients you have! You could also eat it cold and mix it with Greek yogurt, coconut milk, ricotta, etc. if on Rung 2.

Oh, sorry for multiple postings, but I use Libby's 100% PURE PUMPKIN, NOT the pie filling. You can also buy a fresh pumpkin and roast/puree it yourself if they're in season or on sale.
