Instructions for 8 servings:

Bake 3 large sweet potatoes, at 375 degrees for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Scoop out the pulp (save the skins to use for a separate dish!), and mix together. Should total at least 2 cups of pulp, or 500g by weight.

Place in a large mixing bowl once cool, or after marinating in the fridge in their own natural sweet potato sugars for a day or two (not much longer than that).

Then (per 2 cups / 500g of sweet potato) add: 

- 1/2 cup of Maple Syrup (160g)

- 1/8 cup of Maple Cream (40g)

- 1/8 cup of Ground Chia Seeds (20g)

- 4 tbsp of Cinnamon, preferably Ceylon Cinnamon (20g)

- 1/8 cup of Grape-seed Oil (20g)

- 1/2 tsp of Nutmeg (2g)

- 1 tsp of Ginger (2g)

- 1 tsp of Allspice aka Jamaica Pepper (2g)

- 1/2 tsp of Cloves (2g)

- 1/2 tsp of Sea Salt (2g)

Then mix all ingredients in a bowl so the spices don't blow away with a breeze, and mix in a mixer/food processor until smooth, or about 30-60 seconds.

Next, we'll fold in our mix-in ingredients!

- 2 cups of Dried Cranberries (60g) - No added sugars or additives whenever possible!

- 1/2 cup of Pepitas/Pumpkin Seeds (60g)

Now stir by hand! Or by gentil mixer/Cuisinart. (do not use a food processor!).

 

Sweet Pumpking Autumn is now ready for showtime! You can either eat it right away like cookie dough, come up with a creative way to use it like pie filling, or put it in your freezer to transform into a frozen treat!
