Equipment
- 6x8-inch baking dish
- Fork or small whisk
- Silicone spatula
Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 egg
- ½ cup pumpkin purée plain, not pie filling
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 3 tablespoon neutral oil I used olive oil
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 tbsp + 1 tsp chia seeds (ground or whole)
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or 1 teaspoon cinnamon + ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 dash salt
To serve (optional)
- plain yogurt for drizzling
- smooth peanut butter runny, for drizzling
- hemp hearts for sprinkling
- berries or apple slices for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 6x8-inch baking dish.
- In your baking dish, whisk the egg. Add the pumpkin, yogurt, maple syrup, oil, and vanilla and stir until smooth.
- Add the chia seeds. Stir thoroughly to combine.
- Add the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until just combined, scraping the corners so there are no pockets of dry flour.
- Spread the batter out so it's even in the dish. Bake for 30 minutes, until the top springs back and a toothpick in the centre comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool before slicing it into squares.
- Top with a peanut butter-yogurt drizzle!
Notes
Option to sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top which is always a fun addition!
