Keep this pie in mind as your filling your plate at Thanksgiving dinner (hint hint. It’s also the perfect dessert from a food combining perspective.Įnjoying a slice after a main meal won’t make you bloated, provided you haven’t overeaten. This means, you’ll enjoy a slice and feel very satisfied. The good fats in the cashews and pecans make this dessert very blood sugar balancing. You don't even have to tell them it's healthy, or maybe tell them after they've devoured a piece. This pie is a total crowd-pleaser! So if you are celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend then I highly recommend you make this for your family and friends. When I saw pumpkins at the farmer's market, I knew exactly what I wanted to make – pumpkin pie!!īut not your typical baked version with 2 cups of sugar a nourishing and flavourful version that is totally gluten-free, dairy-free and refined sugar-free so that anyone can enjoy it! Once mixed, add the wet ingredients to the bowl. I absolutely love the flavour and natural sweetness of roasted pumpkin which is why I always make a point to make tons of pumpkin-inspired recipes this time of year including my Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins , Pumpkin Spice Smoothie and my Pumpkin Chickpea Coconut Soup. In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the flour, golden monk fruit or brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
How perfect is it when the air gets crispy, the leaves are slowly changing colour to vibrant red, orange and yellow and you can wear fall clothes? It also means farmers markets are abundant with fall vegetables including pumpkins. Pumpkins are a reminder of one of my favourite times of year - Fall.

OMG, it's SOOOO yummy.

Thus, if you are a fan of anything with pumpkin or pumpkin spiced then you’ll truly fall in love with this recipe! Can there ever be too much pumpkin? (don’t answer that.) Regardless, it’s obvious these Pumpkin Pie Fat Balls are truly “Fall in a Ball.” In case you are wondering, “fat balls” get their name because they are full of healthy fats like monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, from nuts, seeds, coconuts and because they taste just like pumpkin pie! Well, almost. Simply soak the coconut shreds with the water in the blender for 1-2 hours then let it sit, and blend for one minute more. What’s nice about making coconut milk is that you don’t have to soak the coconut shreds overnight like you have to do with nuts/seeds when making nut or seed milk. I want to mention that I did not have any non-dairy milk on-hand and was too lazy to go to the store, so I made some of my own! I decided to make coconut milk since it’s one of the easiest dairy-free milks to make and all you need is 1 cup of coconut shreds and 2 cups of filtered water. It doesn’t help that I’m literally obsessed with all things pumpkin spice! I especially love adding Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Spice to pretty much everything from dairy-free yogurt, smoothies, pancakes, waffles, baked goods and even vegan ice cream because it’s a great way to flavor foods without adding sugar! However, this popular spice is stocked seasonally (wth TJ?) and the only way to ensure I have my year-long supply is to stock up in advance. Thanksgiving may be over but that doesn’t mean that we can’t still enjoy all the treats associated with it! I personally am not a fan of all the desserts (unless of course they are vegan and/or paleo), but I’m in LOVE with the spices used in many Holiday desserts, specifically - cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.Īnd being that it’s Fall (or as the Brits refer to as “Autumn”) everything left-and-right is pumpkin flavored or pumpkin-spiced. Let’s get down to the real deal: talking about food that is.
I am also grateful to still keep in touch with my childhood friends and neighbors, the fact that it takes me four minutes to get to all my favorite stores from home, to live in such a beautiful surrounding etc., etc. I’m also very thankful for all that life has offered me and all the amazing opportunities I have been given.
I am very grateful that I am still able to live at home with my parents, my two younger sisters, and my dog while I get to do what I love for a living because not many have that option. Of course, family is and always will be my first when I am counting my blessings. Everyone knows Thanksgiving is a time for pause, to be thankful for family, friends, and most importantly – FOOD (just kidding, just kidding).
