A reader commented recently that they tried my <a href="http://www.bookofyum.com/blog/gluten-free-dairy-free-banana-bread-recipe-4022.html">gluten-free, dairy-free banana bread</a> with pumpkin instead of banana, and loved the results. I was so intrigued I had to try it for myself. I&#8217;ve made it several times, with different variations each time. The first time I made a super-healthy version with date sugar instead of regular sugar and a quinoa flake pecan crumble on top. (The topping had Quinoa flakes with crumbled pecans and a tablespoon of date sugar held together with a splash of canola oil.) But more recently, I made a simpler version with regular, easy-to-find sugars in honor of the upcoming Halloween weekend. Toddler Yum helped me pour and stir. Just as I was about to pour it in the bread pan, she pleaded &#8220;cupcakes? cupcakes?&#8221; Oops. I forgot that my little goblin Yum is a little obsessed with breads of the muffin-cupcake persuasion after some happy mini cupcake experiences in the Big City (New York). The pan was already greased, so we went ahead and baked this recipe as a bread, but I bet it would be wonderful as a muffin! Imagine the super-healthy version with slightly naughty topping in a mini-muffin tin. Hmmm&#8230; I might have to do a follow-up post. But, because Halloween is literally right around the corner, here&#8217;s our family pumpkin bread recipe! Enjoy!<br />

Ingredients
</div>
<div class="yum_recipeIngredients">
2 cups brown or white rice flour OR your favorite all purpose gluten-free flour blend*<br />1 1/2 tsp. baking powder<br />1/2 tsp. baking soda<br />1/4 tsp. salt<br />1/2 C brown sugar**<br />1/4 cup white sugar**<br />1/2 tsp cinnamon<br />1/2 tsp nutmeg<br />1/4 tsp clove<br />1/4 tsp allspice<br />2 eggs, beaten<br />1/2 tsp GF vanilla (I use Kirkland, the Costco brand)<br />1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin puree<br />1/2 cup canola oil</p>
<p>Optional: Sprinkle top with raw sugar
</p></div>
<div class="yum_recipeHeading">
Directions
</div>
<div class="yum_recipeDirections">
Preheat oven to 375F. Prepare a 9*5 bread pan by greasing with dairy-free shortening like Spectrum.</p>
<p>Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl and whisk together. Make a well in the center and add your eggs, vanilla, pumpkin, and canola oil. Gently fold ingredients together. When combined, spoon into your bread pan. If desired you can sprinkle top with raw sugar. Bake for about an hour or until a toothpick comes out clean. Enjoy!

Notes
</div>
<div class="yum_recipeNotes">
*This time I used <br />1 cup sorghum, 1/2 cup tapioca starch, 1/4 cup potato starch (cornstarch or arrowroot could be substituted), and 1/4 cup almond flour</p>
<p>*I have also tried 1 cup sorghum, 1/2 cup arrowroot starch and 1/2 cup of almond flour for a healthier and allergen-friendly version</p>
<p>**For a healthier fancy-pants version, you can substitute date or coconut sugar for the brown and white sugar. You can also reduce the sugar to a total of 1/2 cup if you prefer a healthy breakfast bread with your coffee.

Welcome to Pumpkin Week! I&#8217;ve had a fondness for pumpkins since I was a little kid picking out my pumpkin for a Jack O&#8217;lantern. Then I moved to Colorado and made friends with a pumpkin patch with a delightful assortment of pumpkins and squash, hay rides and mazes for the kids (and those who were kids at heart). I discovered the joy of bringing baby pie pumpkins home and roasting them in the oven for homemade gluten-free pumpkin pie. When we finally bought a house in California last year where we could have a garden, I knew I wanted to plant pumpkins so I could realize a childhood dream and grow my own pumpkin for a jack O&#8217;lantern. Of course I thought pies with homemade pumpkin would be a nice perk, too. Our pumpkins vined their little hearts out in the garden and produced some darling beauties. I haven&#8217;t had the heart to cut them open and bake them yet, although I did roast one of the spaghetti squash that we grew. It was very yummy.<br />
<a href="http://www.bookofyum.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/gardenpumpkincoll.jpg"><img src="http://www.bookofyum.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/gardenpumpkincoll.jpg" alt="" title="gardenpumpkincoll" width="450" height="338" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8053" /></a><br />
As autumn has set into California with its fickle, spring-like nature that alternates cool days with sunny days and the nights turn crisp, I find myself craving pumpkin. This week I will be sharing two (possibly three) pumpkin recipes with you and hosting a pumpkin recipe mr. linky on Friday, so stay tuned.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bookofyum.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/pumpkincocoa.jpg"><img src="http://www.bookofyum.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/pumpkincocoa.jpg" alt="" title="pumpkincocoa" width="299" height="450" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-8055" /></a>I&#8217;ll start the week with a healthy drink for a dairy-free Chocolate Pumpkin Cream Smoothie that sounds naughty but isn&#8217;t really. Toddler Yum heard the word &#8220;chocolate&#8221; and slurped it down like nobody&#8217;s business, which made me happy. I hope you will enjoy it as much as we did!</p>
<p>One note- the avocado is there for the additional healthy fats and creaminess. It does add a little flavor so the cocoa is absolutely necessary for smoothing the flavors together, in my opinion. Do be careful not to add too much banana as the flavor is quite strong. It is mostly there for the sweetness, so if you prefer another mild fruit, feel free to experiment.</p>
<p>As part of the Tastemaker program with Foodbuzz, I got the nifty <a href="http://www.tervis.com/Main.aspx" target="_blank">Tervis Tumbler</a> pictured. I thought it might be fun to participate, and we can always use another bpa free, dishwasher safe cup for Toddler Yum. Their 8 oz toddler-sized tumblers look interesting. I might have to get some cups made for Toddler Yum!</p>

Ingredients
</div>
<div class="yum_recipeIngredients">
1/2 cup cooked pumpkin (canned ok)<br />1/2 avocado (peeled and without the pit)<br />1 cup homemade cashew milk* (or favorite non-dairy milk of choice)<br />1 tbsp agave or your favorite liquid sweetener (such as homemade simple syrup. Do NOT use honey as it has too much personality)<br />1 tbsp cocoa powder (NOT optional, although carob powder might be a good substitute if you are sensitive to chocolate)<br />1 small frozen banana</p>
<p>1 nutmeg for grating
</p></div>
<div class="yum_recipeHeading">
Directions
</div>
<div class="yum_recipeDirections">
Combine ingredients in your blender (a cheap-o blender will be just fine) and process until smooth and creamy. Pour in a glass or cup and grate nutmeg on top for serving. Enjoy!</p>
<p>I am curious about what it would taste like frozen into a popsicle- I think it might be pretty tasty.</p>
<p>I also considered adding 1/2 tsp of vanilla. I might do that next time. You can also add a pumpkin spice type blend of spices. I like Penzey&#8217;s Cake or Baking Spice.
</p></div>
<div class="yum_recipeHeading">
Notes
</div>
<div class="yum_recipeNotes">
*CASHEW MILK RECIPE: I made one big batch of cashew milk that I used in recipes for several days. I soaked 1 cup of cashews overnight with enough water to cover and then drained them, discarding the liquid. I blended them together with water up to the top of my blender (measuring 5 cups including the cashews), to make a milk which I did not strain. I stored it in the refrigerator in a glass pitcher to use as needed.</p>
<p>For drinking or to use in hot cereal, I add a drop of vanilla and a little agave to the milk.

I recently wrote about how much I enjoyed Elana of Elana&#8217;s Pantry&#8217;s <a href="http://amzn.to/gZdvNj" target="_blank">Gluten-free Almond Flour Cookbook</a> and her pumpkin bar recipe. I enjoyed that pumpkin bar recipe so much that I made it twice; first for a potluck, and then for myself. It was a very good pumpkin bar recipe. Writing about it reminded me how very much I liked that recipe. So, I decided to make it a third time. Hey, it might be dessert, but it is made from almonds and has squash (or pumpkin) in it. How guilty do I really need to feel about my addiction? I put some butternut squash puree and eggs into the food processor. Baby Yum decided this was a good time to start chewing on the sole of her shoe (by the front door). No, Baby Yum. That is not food. Remove shoe from mouth. Back to the baking. <a href="http://www.bookofyum.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/punbar3.jpg"><img src="http://www.bookofyum.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/punbar3-199x300.jpg" alt="" title="punbar3" width="199" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-5732" /></a>I put some grapeseed oil in the blender. Love that stuff. I&#8217;m so glad Elana has gotten me to use it, after I had two bottles at varying times go all funny-tasting due to not being used for years on end. Baby Yum is now doing a death-defying baby act on her high chair. No, Baby. We don&#8217;t play on our high chair. I check the computer monitor for recipe. Wait. I need to put agave in the food processor. Wait. Where is the oil listed in the recipe? I read it four times. There is no oil listed in the recipe at all. I&#8217;m impressed, but distressed over the wasted ingredients in the food processor. All that precious grapeseed oil, down the drain. And organic butternut squash. And then it occurs to me. Elana&#8217;s recipe may not have oil, but the standard pumpkin bar recipe has lots of it. I hadn&#8217;t put in the agave yet, which means that I could use any old sweetener I wanted. I check Better Homes and Garden cookbook. Yes! A recipe calling for 4 eggs, 1 cup of oil and a can of pumpkin. I had been doubling Elana&#8217;s recipe due to that whole being completely addicted thing. Perfect! I adapted it to be gluten free and changed the spices up and suddenly I was back in business with a gorgeous pumpkin bar recipe in the oven. (Fine, butternut squash bar- but it just doesn&#8217;t have the siame seasonal glamor as a  pumpkin bar. ) The recipe came out. My father said incredulously &#8220;Did you make it from scratch?&#8221; I guess he&#8217;s not used to baking without a box mix. He seemed really impressed by the texture and flavor, so I will take it as a compliment. My husband rushed to make a cream cheese frosting. Another compliment. Oh, and I couldn&#8217;t stop gobbling the things. Really it ended up being quite a fortunate mistake. We&#8217;re getting down to the last third of the pan. I&#8217;m wondering if I shouldn&#8217;t make more&#8230;. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.bookofyum.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/pumpkinpie.jpg"><img src="http://www.bookofyum.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/pumpkinpie.jpg" alt="pumpkinpie" title="pumpkinpie" width="451" height="300" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4375" /></a><br />
This holiday season we have many things to celebrate. We&#8217;ve been lucky enough to have family visiting us almost constantly since the birth of Baby Yum. Most recently, we were able to take Baby Yum (now an experienced traveler) to the DH&#8217;s natal home and my adopted home, Boulder, Colorado to celebrate Christmas with his parents. The best news, though, is that my extreme elimination diet &#8211; combined with a hearty dose of infant probiotics- has improved the state of Baby Yum&#8217;s sensitive tummy to the point where i have been able to add enough foods to my diet to make some tasty holiday treats. Sometime around Thanksgiving I started craving pumpkin pie, but I didn&#8217;t know how it would be possible to make it gluten, dairy, and egg free. However, when I added coconut back into my diet, it occurred to me that coconut might very well make a lovely substitute for condensed milk. Searching online, I found out how other people made their own vegan and gluten-free pumpkin pie recipes.</p>
<p>Creative goddess Karina made a <a href="http://glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com/2008/10/vegan-pumpkin-pie-worthy-of.html" target="_blank">Hemp Milk, buckwheat Vegan Pumpkin Pie Recipe</a><br />
The always scrumptious Susan of Fat Free Vegan made a <a href="http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2006/10/and-answer-is.html" target="_blank">Crust-free Soy and Egg-replacer based Pumpkin Pie recipe</a><br />
Michelle and Lori whipped up a <a href="http://www.pure2raw.com/2009/11/gluten-free-vegan-pumpkin-pie/" taget="_blank">Vegan Pumpkin Pie recipe</a><br />
and the Voracious Vegan gave us something slightly different with her <a href="http://thevoraciousvegan.blogspot.com/2009/11/raw-pumpkin-pie-balls-and-raw-chocolate.html">Raw foods pumpkin pie ball recipe</a> (Use Gluten-free oats)</p>
<p>Finally, I made my own unique allergen-free gluten-free pumpkin pie that incorporated some unconventional flours (amaranth and coconut, anyone?) and used arrowroot as the thickener.  Not only does it NOT contain soy or any other alternative boxed milk, but it also does not rely on egg replacer (which contains both potato and corn derivatives). This is the perfect pie for anyone sensitive to rice, corn, potato, tapioca, or other commonly used gluten-free flours. It certainly turned out to be the perfect pumpkin pie for me- and even won accolades from my dairy-sensitive Mother, who proclaimed it &#8220;very good&#8221; and asked for the recipe!</p>

I hope all of you have a wonderful and tasty holiday season, no matter what your dietary restrictions, and are able to spend the holidays with your loved ones. Here is a very special picture of our dearest loved one, Baby Yum, wishing you a happy and magical holiday season!</p>

Crust:<br />1/2 cup amaranth flour<br />1/2  cup arrowroot starch flour<br />1/4 cup coconut flour<br />1/3 cup shortening<br />5  tbsp cold water</p>
<p>Filling:<br />2 c. solid-pack canned pumpkin <br />1 c. regular coconut milk<br />3/4 c. brown sugar<br />1/4 c. arrowroot starch<br />1 Tbsp. maple syrup<br />2 tsp. vanilla<br />1 tsp nutmeg<br />1/4 tsp. EACH ground ginger, cloves and salt

<div class="yum_recipeHeading">
Directions
</div>
<div class="yum_recipeDirections">
Preheat oven to 375F.<br />Combine crust ingredients in a medium bowl, whisking flours together and then adding your shortening. Combine until dough starts forming pea-sized balls, and sprinkle in water one tablespoon at a time until you can form the dough into a ball. Once you have a ball of dough, carefully roll out on wax paper. If you have two pie tins, you can place one bottom-side up underneath the wax paper and place the second one over the dough. Invert and carefully peel off the wax paper to have a perfect pie crust. </p>
<p>Bake for 8-10 minutes in the oven or until lightly browned.</p>
<p>Whisk filling ingredients together in a large bowl and fill your crust with the filling. Bake for 50 minutes or until pie has firmed up somewhat. You CAN greedily eat a slice before it chills, but it will be somewhat soft until it is chilled in the refrigerator overnight. For the most impressive pie, cool overnight.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love pumpkin season, and whenever pumpkins start appearing at the Farmer&#8217;s Market and grocery stores I am always tempted to bring some home with me. For me, pumpkins are like the puppies of the vegetable kingdom- I just can&#8217;t resist them! When I first started bringing pumpkins home, I didn&#8217;t quite know what to do with them. I started by making gluten-free pumpkin pies from scratch, which I enjoyed. But according to Cook&#8217;s Illustrated and other experts, apparently homemade pumpkin puree doesn&#8217;t make that much difference to the final pie, so I wondered if it was worth the effort. So, I moved on&#8230; I tried pumpkin ravioli (yummy), pumpkin lasagna (also yummy), and even grilled pumpkin. Recently, I came up with a hypo-allergenic pumpkin kabocha soup that captures the joys of the season perfectly, even if you are on a very restricted allergy diet. </p>
<p>I&#8217;m entering this recipe in <strong>The Whole Gang&#8217;s Gluten-free Progressive Dinner Party event</strong> as an appetizer&#8230; </p>

Ingredients
</div>
<div class="yum_recipeIngredients">
1 small kabocha squash (Japanese pumpkin)<br />1 small pie pumpkin (American)<br />1-2 tbsp. olive oil<br />2 leeks, chopped<br />1 carrot, chopped<br />1 celery stick, chopped<br />2 cups gluten-free vegetable broth (from bullion, fresh, or carton)<br />3-5 cups water as needed<br />poultry seasoning<br />salt<br />pepper<br />paprika
</div>
<div class="yum_recipeHeading">
Directions
</div>
<div class="yum_recipeDirections">
Heat oven to 425F. Cut kabocha and pumpkin in half and scoop out seeds. Cut once more so they are cut into fourths. Place cut side down on a large baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, checking and turning at that point if they aren&#8217;t thoroughly baked. Put back in oven again for another 15 minutes, check. Put in for another 15 minutes if needed or leave out to cool. When cool enough to handle, remove skin and chop.</p>
<p>Heat olive oil in large stock pan on medium and sautee leeks. As they soften, add carrot and celery. Sautee and then add your vegetable broth. Let simmer for 10 minutes or so and then add your chopped, cooked kabocha and pumpkin. Add water to cover and let simmer for another 10 minutes or longer if desired. Add seasonings (poultry seasoning, salt, pepper, and paprika) and simmer for another ten mintues, adding any extra water you need. Taste liquid and add more seasonings if you like. When pumpkin and kabocha is thoroughly softened, blend soup with an immersion blender until you have a nice, thick, creamy consistency. Enjoy!

<a href='http://www.bookofyum.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/pumpkingrn.jpg'><img src="http://www.bookofyum.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/pumpkingrn-150x150.jpg" alt="" title="pumpkingrn" width="150" height="150" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2343" /></a>Recently, the farmer&#8217;s market has exploded with a gorgeous selection of pumpkin and squashes of every color, affirming that despite the sunny skies, Fall has finally come to us in California. I haven&#8217;t been able to resist bring some home with me. This week I&#8217;ve enjoyed their decorative presence in the house while I tried to decide how to use them.  Inspiration came from an unexpected source. The other day the DH suddenly had an urge for Thanksgiving-type holiday food and bought a variety of ingredients to make himself a non-veg platter of goodness. Most of it wasn&#8217;t really my type of food, but he did make one dish that I found really interesting- a sautee of onions and apples for a fruity &#8220;stuffing&#8221; sans bread. Somehow as I watched him prepare it, I was reminded of my favorite <A href="http://www.bookofyum.com/blog/gluten-free-vegetarian-thanksgiving-recipes-portobello-mushroom-gf-stuffing-in-acorn-squash-recipe-1271.html">portabella mushroom stuffed acorn squash recipe</a> that I make every Thanksgiving as my special vegetarian main dish. I love this recipe, but baking acorn squash, toasting the gluten-free bread; and sauteeing and assembling the stuffing does take some effort. I wondered if I couldn&#8217;t do something similar but much easier for a special weekend meal with cubes of roasted pumpkin in a holiday &#8220;stuffing&#8221; recipe. Instead of the cinnamon that the DH used, I tried to amp up the savory elements with  poultry seasoning (veg of course). I poked about for instructions on roasting the pumpkin, as I was afraid simply pan frying it wouldn&#8217;t cook it well enough and I had visions of mushy, watery boiled pumpkin as the only alternative. I settled on <A href="http://vegeyum.wordpress.com/2007/12/18/roastpumpkin/" target="_blank">Vegyum&#8217;s instructions</a> for the pumpkin portion, and then sauteed the rest, adding in the roasted pumpkin and fresh basil at the end of the cooking process. It does occur to me that you could possibly roast all of the ingredients to marvelous effect- but I&#8217;ll save that experiment for next time. The result? A delicious, light but satisfying dish that the DH pronounced &#8220;very good- as a side dish&#8221; and I enjoyed as my main course. It is an especially nice dish for a holiday party with vegetarians, as it takes little time but is interesting and versatile. To make it even more exciting, you could serve it in an acorn squash or pumpkin, or use it as topping for large broiled portabella mushrooms. What vegetarian, gluten-free guest wouldn&#8217;t enjoy this dish?</p>
<p><strong>What are your favorite gluten-free, vegetarian Thanksgiving recipes?</strong> Feel free to include the link and description in this post and I&#8217;ll do a roundup as the holidays approach.</p>

Roast for 30 or 40 minutes and reserve, discarding the rosemary and removing the (still unpeeled) garlic cloves. Keep at least two of the roasted garlic cloves for usage in the recipe later.</p>
<p>Add some olive oil (less than 1 tbsp.) to a dutch oven or cast iron pan on medium or medium high heat and saute onion until it begins to turn transparent. Toss in mushroom pieces in a single layer, moving onions aside so mushrooms are in direct contact with the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Sear mushrooms until golden brown and then turn. When the mushrooms are browned on both sides, you may wish to remove most of the onions and all of the mushrooms from the pan for optimal browning of the apples. If desired, add a touch more olive oil (1 tsp or so) to the pan and heat. Throw in your apple chunks and season with poultry seasoning. Let them brown to taste, turning a few times. Then add your mushrooms, onions, and roasted pumpkin to the pan with the apple pieces. Add extra seasonings and more fresh rosemary. You may wish to add the contents of 2+ of the roasted garlic from the pumpkin roast, but make sure to evenly distribute the contents throughout the dish. Cook for a few more minutes to let the flavors mingle. Then take off the burner and sprinkle with basil, folding into the dish.</p>
<p>Serve with Vegetarian gravy and Cranberry sauce on the side.

Notes
</div>
<div class="yum_recipeNotes">
I serve this gravy every holiday with mashed potatoes and (on thanksgiving) my portabello stuffed acorn squash dish. It&#8217;s so easy you can make it anytime, and top brown rice, pasta, baked potatoes or tofu patties. DH enjoys it too, and it&#8217;s considerably easier than the typical American gravy made from scratch.
