Pumpkin apple bake made with pumpkin puree and apples naturally sweetened with banana. Perfect for a breakfast or holiday side dish!

Pumpkin Apple Bake by Flora & Vino

My laptop has about the same birthday as Flora & Vino, the blog, circa January 2017.  

Which means they’re both just on the verge of their fourth birthday. 

So it’s actually kind of a miracle that the glowing lettered squares on my keyboard *just* started sticking this week. 

Since last weekend the “y” and “l” keys require aggressive tap-tap-tapping with my index finger before they grace the cursor with their appearance. 

Which, naturally, led to a whole heck of a lot of typos this week. 

Guys, do you know just how many words contain a “y” and an “l”???

Too many.

You’d think with all of the food I photograph that a sticky spill might be the culprit, but I can’t pinpoint any instance of spillage. 

Hm. I guess I need to make a visit to the tech store sometime soon.

Well, you know what else is sticky but a lot sweeter? 

This Pumpkin Apple Bake that’s made with pumpkin puree and apples, sweetened with banana.

It’s excellent to whip up for a unique cold weather breakfast or holiday side!

Ever since I made my Vegan & Grain-Free Sweet Potato Casserole I’ve been thinking about making another orange casserole. 

A pumpkin casserole. 

But what’s arguably better than pumpkin alone is pumpkin with an apple twist. 

It’s lightly sweet, creamy, nutty, and perfectly spiced with an apple chip crunch.

Here’s what you need for your pumpkin apple bake:

  • pumpkin purée 
  • flax eggs 
  • coconut milk
  • large ripe banana, mashed
  • pumpkin pie spice
  • cinnamon, divided
  • large apple, peeled and diced
  • chopped pecans
  • Bare Snacks apple chips, crushed

That’s it!

To begin the recipe, preheat the oven and lightly grease an 8×8 square pan with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper. 

Whisk together the ground flaxseed and filtered water in a large mixing bowl to create your flax “egg”.

Wait for about five minutes before adding in the remaining ingredients.

Next, add in the pumpkin, smashed banana, coconut milk, pumpkin pie spice, and 1/4 tsp of the ground cinnamon to the same mixing bowl. 

I used pumpkin purée for ease in this recipe, but you can easily sub in your own freshly roasted pumpkin instead. 

Whisk the mixture with a fork until it’s nice and smooth.

In a separate bowl, sprinkle the remaining cinnamon on the diced apple to completely coat the apples.

Add the apples to the large mixing bowl and stir until well combined. 

Pour the pumpkin apple mixture into the prepared square pan.

Sprinkle the pecans along the top of the dish, and place in the oven.

Bake the Pumpkin Apple casserole for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and slightly firm to the touch. 

Let the casserole sit for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Sprinkle the dish with crushed Bare Snacks apple chips before serving. 

I *love* the sweet crunchy finish apple chips give the Pumpkin Apple Bake!

Serve it warm or cold.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to one week and freeze for long term storage.

Enjoy this Pumpkin Apple Bake for a cozy breakfast or dessert. 

The dish reheats well, so try making it in advance the night before. 

Reheat the dish before serving for a warm breakfast or a holiday side. 

For some fun variations, try using pears instead of apples. 

You can also use walnuts instead or pecans for the nutty topping!

Enjoy!

IMAGINE YOUR STUFF SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST. 🤣 - T IMAGINE YOUR STUFF SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST. 🤣
-
This weekend I tackled cleaning and organizing a closet that I’d been avoiding. 🚪
-
It’s a spacious closet in my spare bedroom. It’s also the first place I put things I rarely use, storage stuff, and items that don’t have a home. Basically, it’s a giant walk-in “junk” drawer.
-
Over time, it’s gotten so full I could hardly open the door without a stuffed animal falling from the top shelf or stepping on a prickly Christmas wreath.
-
“Out of sight, out of mind,” I reasoned, keeping the door tightly shut. But I could feel the weight of the things through the walls. The cluttered closet had a pulse, a heaviness, a resistance. 
-
I was listening to @theminimalists podcast this week— the topic was letting go of “sentimental” stuff. They bluntly posed the question, “How would you feel if all of the stuff spontaneously combust?”
-
I thought about my closet, POOF, gone, in the blink of an eye. All of the things in there that I couldn’t even name, no longer my responsibility. Imagining all of that stuff taken from me in a catastrophe outside of my control, I felt relief. 
-
While I’m glad my closet didn’t *actually* implode, my reaction to the exercise made me realize that I needed to let go of some things to make space in my house, my head, and my heart.
-
So Saturday I shuffled through old stuff, filled boxes to donate, and stuffed trash bags. I didn’t let go of all of it, but it felt like a big step towards lightness and freedom. 
-
If you’ve been following me for a while you know that I’m on a constant journey towards a more minimalistic life. It’s a constant journey. I donate, I buy, I purge, I collect, I clutter, I minimize. 
-
I strive for everything I own to either have a purpose or bring me immense joy, and how can any possession do either buried under junk behind a shut door?
-
Today, I can walk into the closet unscathed and actually *see* my old high school yearbooks, two guitars, and toolboxes filled with paints and pencils from art school. 
-
Do you have a closet or space like this too? What have you been holding onto that you need to let go of this week? Please share!

CHICKPEA & WILD RICE SOUP is new on the blog today CHICKPEA & WILD RICE SOUP is new on the blog today. 🍲 Perfect for fickle spring weather that’s cold one minute and warm the next. I grew up eating cans of chicken and wild rice soup so this is a vegan and gluten-free tribute to the classic! This chickpea & wild rice soup packed with garbanzo beans, wild rice, and savory herbs in a light broth. It’s your new favorite veg-packed soup staple for all year round!
-
Did you know that most wild rice out there isn’t *real* wild rice? In this soup recipe, I used @edenfoods Wild Rice. //#sponsored This gluten-free whole grain is hand harvested by the Minnesota Leech Lake band of Ojibwe, Native Americans, by canoe! In learning more about wild rice production, I discovered that much of the wild rice sold isn’t authentic. *True* wild rice is Native American hand harvested from the wild by canoe, and is wood fire parched!
-
Authentic wild harvested wild rice ranges in color, cooks in only 25 to 30 minutes, is light and fluffy, and has a rich and delicious flavor, unlike the machine harvested stuff that’s black brown, chewy, and takes forever to cook. Outside of its great flavor, and texture, @edenfoods wild rice is rich in B3 and manganese and is a great source of fiber, B1, B2, magnesium, and zinc! It’s amazing added to this soup to keep everything thick and hearty.
