Pumpkin Sticks

These pumpkin sticks are a sweet pumpkin tasty version of my low carb and gluten free cinnamon sticks.  The difference being these are made with pumpkin and flavoured with pumpkin spices.   Sweet, soft and delicious, I dare you to stop at eating just one!

This is another coconut flour recipe that is dough like with the addition of psyllium husk powder.  High in fibre, low in carbs, paleo and gluten free.  All healthy and tasty boxes are ticked.   

Low Carb & Gluten Free

If you have a sweet tooth for breakfast then start the day with one or two of these as they are high in fibre and should keep you full, as long as you drink enough water.  Coconut flour is the sponge of the low carb flours so you should always make sure you drink water after consuming some.

MY LATEST VIDEOS

I was making some pumpkin bagels and whilst I was taste testing them thought to myself “these would be nice as sticks with a cream cheese topping”.  So I whipped up another batch of the pumpkin dough I was playing with, made a couple of adjustments and voila! There is nothing better than being right about your instincts when it comes to food!  Plus getting it right on the first attempt too!  I did a lap of victory around the kitchen with only my mini zoo looking on to applaud me.   I think they understood.
