5 THANKSGIVING Recipes with MALIBU MYLK

I'm not gonna lie, I'm still adjusting to this colder weather having lived in California & Florida the past couple years. What I do love about the East Coast is the leaves changing color + all things pumpkin! It’s the main reason why I love the East Coast during fall so much!

This brand however holds a special place in my heart as I lived in Malibu for many years!

As Thanksgiving approaches, I have rounded up some of my favorite pumpkin recipes courtesy of Malibu Mylk (available in my Shop here) to inspire you! From breakfast, to side dishes, to desserts I've got you covered. So grab your pumpkin puree + flax milk & let's get cooking!

Pumpkin Soup

• 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided (Primal Kitchen brand)

• One 4-pound sugar pie pumpkin

• 1 large organic yellow onion, chopped (Whole Foods brand)

• 4 large or 6 medium garlic cloves, pressed or minced (Simply Organic brand)

• ½ teaspoon sea salt (Celtic Sea Salt brand since it's organic + non-gmo )

• ½ teaspoon cinnamon (Simply Organic brand)

• ½ teaspoon nutmeg (Simply Organic brand)

• ⅛ teaspoon cloves (Simply Organic brand)

• Tiny dash of cayenne pepper optional, if you like spice (Simply Organic brand)

• Fresh black pepper (Simply Organic brand)

• 4 cups (32 ounces) vegetable broth (Kettle & Fire organic brand)

• ½ cup of flax mylk (Malibu Mylk brand)

• 2 tablespoons maple syrup (Date Lady brand)

• ¼ cup pepitas (green pumpkin seeds by go Raw brand)

Directions

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Carefully halve the pumpkin and scoop out the seeds (you can roast the seeds if you’d like, but you won’t need them for this recipe).

• Slice each pumpkin halve in half to make quarters. Brush or rub 1 tablespoon olive oil over the flesh of the pumpkin and place the quarters, cut sides down, onto the baking sheet. Roast for 35 minutes or longer, until the orange flesh is easily pierced through with a fork. Set it aside to cool for a few minutes.

• Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add onion, garlic and salt to the skillet. Stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 8 to 10 minutes. In the meantime, peel the pumpkin skin off the pumpkins & discard the skin.

• Add the pumpkin flesh, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, cayenne pepper (if using), and a few twists of freshly ground black pepper. Use your stirring spoon to break up the pumpkin a bit. Pour in the broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat & simmer for about 15 minutes, to give the flavors time to meld.

• While the soup is cooking, toast the pepitas in a medium skillet over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant, golden and making little popping noises. You want them to be nice and toasty, but not burnt. Transfer pepitas to a bowl to cool.

• Once the pumpkin mixture is done cooking, stir in the coconut milk + maple syrup. Remove the soup from heat and let it cool slightly. You can use an immersion blender to blend this soup in the pot. I prefer to use my stand blender, which yields the creamiest results—working in batches, transfer the contents of the pan to a blender (do not fill your blender past the maximum fill line!). Securely fasten the blender’s lid and use a kitchen towel to protect your hand from steam escaping from the top of the blender as you purée the mixture until smooth. Transfer the puréed soup to a serving bowl and repeat with the remaining batches.

• Taste and adjust if necessary (I thought the soup was just right as is, but you might want to add more coconut milk for extra creaminess/milder flavor, or maple syrup to make it a little sweeter).

• Ladle the soup into individual bowls. Sprinkle pepitas over the soup and serve. Let leftover soup cool completely before transferring it to a proper storage container and refrigerating it for up to 4 days (leftovers taste even better the next day!). Or, freeze this soup for up to 3 months.

Pumpkin Overnight Oats

• 1/4 cup vanilla coconut yogurt (Harmless Harvest brand )

Directions
