This is my last pumpkin recipe until next autumn!

As some of you may know, my brother gave me a couple of extra pumpkins after halloween. Of course I had to make some recipes out of them and share them. I hadn't had much chance to make pumpkin recipes this year so I was very happy when Lawrence gave me the opportunity to make more.

I saved the best recipe until last!

This is without a doubt the best pumpkin recipe I have made, I shared these vegan chocolate chip pumpkin bites with my family and it is unanimous!

This recipe requires pumpkin puree, I have found this quite difficult to get hold of so I always make my own.

Pumpkin puree;

Peel and chop your pumpkin, place in a small saucepan.

Boil, in water, for roughly 20 minutes or until soft enough to mash.

Drain the water from the pumpkins.

Mash the pumpkins.

It's that simple!

I imagine it's cheaper to make your own as well, you can buy a small pumpkin for £1 which will make enough puree for at least 2 recipes. 1 can you buy from the shop is likely to be at least £1 for 1 recipes worth of puree.

This recipe makes 20 pumpkin bites, and it's so easy to follow!

It's perfect for a snack for the kids, or to impress at a gathering.

Everyone will be super impressed by your pumpkin bites!

I hope you like these as much as we do!

Ingredients

1 tbsp Chia Seeds

3 tbsp Water

2 ¼ Cups Plain Flour

1 tsp Ground Cinnamon

1 tsp Ground Nutmeg

1 tsp Ground Ground Ginger

1 tsp Bicarbonate of soda

115g Butter - I use Pure but any plant based butter will work

150g Caster Sugar

110g Light Brown Sugar

1 ½ tsp Vanilla Essence

1 Cup Pumpkin Puree - Please read above to find out how to make pumpkin puree

2 tbsp Milk - I use Oat milk but any plant based milk will work

1 ½ Chocolate Chunks

Method

* Preheat the oven 180C

* Line 2 loaf tins.

* Mix together the chia seeds and water to create a flax egg.

* In a large mixing bowl cream the butter and the sugars.

* Add the puree, vanilla and flax egg. Mix until smooth. If this doesn't go completely smooth don't panic! It will sort itself out when you add the flour.

* Sift in the flour, spices and bicarbonate of soda. Mix together.

* Stir in the milk and 1 cup of chocolate chips. You need to leave 1/2 cup of chocolate chunks for the top.

* Pour the batter equally into both your prepared tins.

* Sprinkle the left over chocolate chunks over the top of the mix. Press them down slightly.

* Bake for 30 minutes.

* Once cooled completely cut into small pieces.

Serve

Enjoy!
