PUMPKIN TREATS

MAKING PUMPKIN TREATS HEALTHIER

I recommend the following tricks;

Make gluten-free pumpkin waffles

Most people love gluten-free recipes for improved health. Even pumpkins can be prepared with oat flour to create crispy pumpkin waffles, which are gluten-free. You only need to blend the oats to a fine texture, then proceed to making the crunchy waffles.

Roast pumpkin seeds

What do you do with your pumpkin seeds? Do you dispose them of? Well, I love roasting my pumpkin seeds because they are tasty and nutritious. Also, they are plant-based and contain magnesium, which keeps the heart rhythm steady, builds strong bones, and maintains blood pressure. But to enjoy the snack, please be keen when roasting to ensure the outcome is golden and not burnt.

Make whole grain pumpkin cakes

This is an old recipe but still in fashion. With a great recipe you can make tasty and fluffy snacks just as regular pancakes come out. But these pumpkin ones are healthful because they gluten free and vegan. You can enjoy them without the worry of spiking your blood sugar level.
