Super Quick Dessert
If necessity is the mother of invention, then instant-gratification is the father of creativity. Today I enlisted the offspring of both nouns as well some pantry staples for a quick and nourishing dessert.
Limited diets like SCD and GAPS exclude nearly all processed and pre-packaged sweet treats. As a result, dessert usually requires planning ahead for time and ingredients. Fortunately, this GAPS pumpkin pudding requires no special grocery trip and comes together in minutes. The best part? It contains no sugar, grains, eggs, nuts or dairy.
A Creamy and Crunchy Pair Made in Heaven
For me, creamy requires crunchy. I topped my pudding with leftover Allergen Free Crumble Topping. Yes, cooking the crumble topping separate from the fruit filling is unorthodox, but it prevents the topping from meeting a soggy demise. Store extra topping in an airtight container, and it will stay crisp for a couple days.
GAPS Legal Canned Pumpkin
In Breaking the Vicious Cycle, Elaine Gottshall stamps a big “Illegal” label on canned pumpkin because undisclosed starches and/or sugars are added during processing. But thanks to the folks at Farmer’s Market Foods, however, we now have an option for a BPA free, SCD and GAPS legal canned pumpkin!

Lauren,
I just found your blog!!! You are quite an amazing young woman! What’s really amazing is Ms. Terah mentioned this blog to me yesterday. (We were taking two adults from her school to purchase and then celebrate their first pair of CDA pointe shoes.) Did I find a spare moment to look it up? No. Later that evening, I saw your gorgeous mother. Yet, still no time to grab my laptop and search out your blog. You see, I’m in the midst of canning season. That, with homeschooling and the start of the dance season makes for some madcap days. Well, today, when searching for pumpkin recipes, lo, and behold, what should my search yield but your blog!
Love this post on pumpkin, as my garden is getting ready to offer up a huge bounty of pumpkin, which I intend to can! God willing, we should have over two dozen quarts of pumpkins to bake, puree and can. If so, you can bet I’ll using this recipe! But more importantly, I love reading about your journey back to health. Stay well, Lauren!
