shirtour says
A great gluten-free breakfast for people who eat eggs is pancakes made with 2 mashed bananas and 1 egg. They are so light and tender. I am going to add some pumpkin or squash puree to my next batch -- bet it will be delish! BTW I add some organic turmeric powder - which I put in everything. Like black cumin seeds it cures everything but death! 😉
shirtour says
I roast any squash or pumpkin like this:
Cut in half, remove seeds, generously smear with Red Palm oil or coconut oil, season with Celtic salt, cinnamon and maybe some ginger or even cloves, and bake at 300 o F in a roasting pan with about 1/2-in -in. of water.
If desired sprinkle with a tiny bit or Rapadura or Demarara sugar.
shirtour says
How about pumpkin ginger snaps?
Cynthia says

Dearest Kathy,
Thank you for the recipes 🙂 I have no idea, yet, what to do in the kitchen any more, since having vowed to go vegan only a month ago.
I have always made Pumpkin Rolls for the holidays....any way you can come up with, or already have a vegan recipe for that??
Thank you so much♥

Gluten Free A-Z Blog says
What a fabulous post. I know that I'm starting to think pumpkin, so I am so glad you decided to round up your collection and make it totally organized for us. Love the idea.
I have tried some of your pumpkin recipes in the past and can honestly say they are some of the best. In fact in a few days, I am blogging about your 4 ingredient pumpkin pie that I made and thought was exceptional. I'm Making it again today as a fun project with my little granddaughter.
Ashley says
I'd like to see another version of the Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls because I made them last year and they were sooo delish but I had a couple difficulties with the icing being runny and the rolls cooking unevenly. Don't worry though, they didn't go to waste! We ate them regardless and enjoyed each bite! Otherwise, I can't wait to try all of your other pumpkin recipes! I think I might try the Pumpkin Oat Chocolate Chip Cookies soon! 🙂 Thanks for all of the great recipes!
Laura says
Thanks for the wonderful recipes and photos ... inspired me to buy lots and lots of tiny sweet pumpkins and am having a blast trying them in different ways. One of the simplest I just had this morning: cut a tiny sweet pumpkin in half and steam (do aerobics while it is cooking), then enjoy as a delicious breakfast just mashed with home-made soy yogurt and walnuts! I was going to save half for dinner but it was sooo good! I really appreciate all your inspiration recipes and ideas .... thanks so much!
Jo @ Including Cake says
Gorgeous roundup and lovely photos!! I wish pumpkins were as big a deal over here in the UK as they are over there. I can only buy canned pumpkin at specialist food shops online. Never mind i'm still gonna get in the fun this year...will just have to be more prepared and make a big batch of my own fresh puree.
Abby@Totes Delish says
So much pumpkin, so little time!
