Why I love pumpkin as a dietitian:

If you didn’t already need another reason to whip out the pumpkin puree, I also love using it in cooking for it’s health benefits. Pure pumpkin puree is different from pumpkin pie filling which has spices and sugar added. I like to control the sweetness level to make delicious and healthy baked goods that are easy on the added sugar.

Pumpkin is naturally packed with:

  • Fibre which is amazing for your gut health & making this a filling, satisfying snack
  • Antioxidant beta-carotene which gives pumpkin it’s orange flavour
  • A variety of vitamins & minerals including vitamin C, K, and potassium

What you’ll need:

  • 1 mixing bowl (This is a one-bowl recipe, you’re welcome!)
  • A standard muffin tin that makes 12 muffins
  • Muffin tin liners
  • Cooling rack *Not essential but I think it makes all the difference in baked goods!

Does this garlic peeling hack really work? 🧄 Does this garlic peeling hack really work? 🧄 

Garlic is probably my most reliably used ingredient in all my recipes so any way to make peeling less of a pain, I’m interested!

Goes to show the usual way is usually the best way, but any pros can let me know if I did this wrong 😅
