Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Pumpkin Puree (fresh or canned)
- 3/4 cup Sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg (adjust for additional flavor)
- 1/4 tsp Ground Ginger (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/3 cup All-Purpose Flour (or gluten-free flour)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to allow it to reach the ideal temperature for baking the pudding evenly.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sugar, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
- Add Spices: Stir in ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt to infuse warm autumn flavors throughout the batter.
- Incorporate Flour: Gradually blend in the all-purpose flour, mixing until the batter is smooth and free from lumps to ensure a creamy pudding texture.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking, then pour the prepared batter into it, spreading evenly.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until the pudding is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pudding to cool for a few minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature for a comforting fall dessert.
Notes
- You can substitute dairy milk with any non-dairy alternatives such as almond, soy, or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
- Adjust the sugar amount based on your preferred sweetness level or use a sugar substitute.
- The spices—cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger—can be modified according to personal taste or omitted for a milder flavor.
- Ensure the batter is smoothly mixed to avoid lumps in the pudding.
- Use a gluten-free flour blend if you need the recipe to be gluten-free.
- Serving warm enhances the cozy autumn feel, but it is also delicious chilled.
