What I actually make with a tin of pumpkin purée 🎃


​all my favorites | recipes | videos​

Hi Reader,

If you haven't bought a tin of pumpkin purée yet this autumn, consider this your sign. 🎃

I know pumpkin can feel like an ingredient you buy for one recipe and then forget about, but there's plenty you can do with the rest. Stir a spoonful into porridge with cinnamon, add it to pancake batter, or mix it into yogurt with a little maple syrup. Just look for plain pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling, which already has sugar and spices added. I like Libby's 100% pumpkin puree.

🥣 THIS WEEK'S RECIPE

​Pumpkin Protein Balls with White Chocolate​

Think pumpkin pie filling meets a soft little snack bite, finished with a drizzle of white chocolate. They're made with pumpkin purée, almond butter, oat flour and vanilla protein powder.

  • No baking: Just mix, roll and chill.
  • Easy to make ahead: Keep them in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • A little protein and fiber: From the protein powder, oats, almond butter and pumpkin.
  • A little white chocolate on top: Because it's lovely with the pumpkin spice.

all my favorites | recipes | videos Hi Reader, Halloween recipes tend to be all about cookies, cupcakes and sweet treats. And I love those too! But this year I thought it would be fun to get dinner involved. 🎃 So I made these little jack-o'-lantern stuffed peppers. They're basically stuffed peppers dressed up for Halloween, complete with triangle eyes, wonky smiles and a cheesy turkey filling. And don't worry if you're not much of a pumpkin carver. The faces don't have to be perfect. In fact,...

all my favorites | recipes | videos Hi Reader, It's no secret that I am a big fan of oats in all shapes and forms. But recently, I've been making these fluffy blended baked oats, which are almost like having a little cake for breakfast! The trick is really simple. Instead of baking the oats whole, I blend everything into a smooth batter first. It completely changes the texture, making them soft, light and fluffy rather than your usual bowl of oatmeal. I've been adding flaked almonds and a...

all my favorites | recipes | videos Hi Reader, There are certain foods that just taste better at this time of year, and warm apple crumble is definitely one of them. So this week’s Sunday Spoonful is one of my older recipes that deserves another moment: my healthy apple crumble with oats. It has everything I want from an apple crumble; warm cinnamon apples and a crunchy oat topping... but I’ve made a few simple tweaks so it’s a lot more filling and works just as well for breakfast as it does...
