Sweet Pumpkin Dumplings
These are fun because a dessert in a bowl, sloppily eaten with a spoon, is fun. And there's a certain warm, smushy feeling that comes with Autumnal comfort food.
For even more of the fiber and vitamin A of the pumpkin, try mixing a little of your extra pumpkin mush with a dash of agave nectar and then stirring it gently into the ice-cream or whipped cream with which the dumplings are being served. For the total pumpkin experience, mix more of your leftover pumpkin into the next morning's bowl of oatmeal, along with a natural sweetener.
Disregard the choice of (non-dairy) ice-cream in my photo, which is a totally inappropriate cookies and cream flavor.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Yield: 4 Servings
Ingredients:
1-1/4 Cups Whole Wheat Flour
1-1/4 Tsp Baking Powder
¾ Tsp Sea Salt
Generous Pinches of Cinnamon and Nutmeg
2 Tbsp Canola or Grapeseed Oil
¼ Cup Agave Nectar or Maple Syrup
½ Cup Milk
¼ Cup Cooked Pumpkin (canned is fine if the only ingredient is “Pumpkin”, but don’t use sugar-filled pumpkin pie filling)Sauce:
1 Cup Milk, dairy or non-dairy
1/2 Cup Agave Nectar or Maple Syrup
1 ½ Cups Water
Directions:
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sea salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, combine oil, sweetener, milk and pumpkin. Stir dry ingredients into wet ones just until mixed. Combine all ingredients for sauce in a saucepan and bring to a low boil, stirring to combine. Reduce heat and drop spoonfuls of dough mixture into simmering sauce. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Don’t open the lid or you’ll end up losing all of your liquid! Serve warm with tofu/dairy whipped cream or soy/dairy ice-cream.
