- 12 oz cauliflower rice, cooked
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup applesauce, unsweetened
- 1 cup coconut milk (canned)
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- ½ tsp turmeric
- ¼ cup hemp seeds (a.k.a. hemp hearts)
- 1 cup pecan pieces as a garnish to add crunch
-
Cook the cauliflower rice. This can be done in the microwave or in a saute pan on the stove over low-medium heat. Either method will take about 5 minutes.
-
While the cauliflower rice is cooking, add the spices, vanilla, applesauce and pumpkin puree to a large bowl. Shake or stir the coconut milk so the coconut cream is evenly distributed throughout. Measure out 1 cup and add to the pumpkin mixture. Add the maple syrup at this point, too (optional). Stir until smooth.
-
Add the cooked cauliflower rice to the pumpkin mixture, leaving any excess water in the bottom of the pan or bowl. Add the hemp hearts and mix well.
-
To serve, top each bowl with pecans. Enjoy!
