Ingredients:

• 2C alternative milk
• 1C  pureed pumpkin (canned is okay. BPA free lining is best)
• 8  Medjool dates (pitted and soaked in boiling water for several minutes until soft)
• 2tsp pure  vanilla extract
• 1tsp pure maple syrup
• 1 1/2tsp  cinnamon
• 3/4tsp  ginger
• 3/4tsp  nutmeg
• 1/4tsp  allspice
• Pinch of sea salt
• 1/2C  chia seeds

​Directions:

• Measure all seasonings, stir together to combine well.   (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, sea salt)
• In a food processor blend dates, alternative milk, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
• Add pumpkin puree and seasoning, and mix on low until combined and smooth.
• Pour in  chia seeds and continue to mix on low until combined. 
• Pour pudding into 2 cups, jars, or bowls, and cover tight.  (I like to use mason jars)
• Place in refrigerator  for at least 1 hour. Best if you wait and let it sit overnight. ;-)

Enjoy! xx
