11 steps

  • Preheat the oven to broil

  • In a bowl, combine the diced pumpkin flesh, ground cinnamon and ground ginger.

  • Spread the mixture over a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat, and bake for 5 minutes. Set aside.

  • Lower the heat to 350°F (180°C).

  • In a bowl, combine the date puree, applesauce and eggs.

  • Add the pure vanilla extract, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground ginger and ground nutmeg. Wait for a light frothing to occur (just for fun), then mix well.

  • Mix in the flour, quick-cooking rolled oats, ground flaxseeds, chopped walnuts, raisins, green pumpkin seeds and the baked pumpkin until combined.

  • Lightly grease a 7-inch (18 cm) round cake pan- otherwise, everything will stick.

  • Decorate with walnuts, raisins, and pumpkin seeds as desired. Have fun!

  • Bake for about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Let cool before removing from the pan.
