Pumpkin spice and everything nice! Fall is one of my favorite seasons, specially with all the baking. This recipe is so easy even my three year old loved it.

If you cannot find pumpkin puree, make your own and freeze it, it’s cheaper than canned and you’ll find it in your freezer almost all year long. It can freeze up to 9 months.

  • Wash and dry your pumpkin then slice in half.
  • Scoop out the pumpkin seeds and any stringy flesh then lightly season with salt.
  • Roast in your oven on a baking sheet for 45 minutes to an hour depending on the size of your pumpkin.
  • Allow it to cool down and scrap out the softened insides and pulse until smooth.
  • Store in your fridge up to 1 week or in your freezer.
  • Ideally they freeze best for 3 months before they change consistency but it never bothered me when baking.
