pumpkin biscuits & a GIVEAWAY

you are here, i am here, we are all here! alive and done with the manic of black friday (except not really). seriously, i feel like black friday becomes black november through the day before christmas. anyways, i am more of the #optoutside kinda girl, there are way less people and less money flying out of my wallet! i hope you got outside this weekend & that you had a delicious thanksgiving meal because i sure did.

my husband and i decided to have our 1st friends giving & it was awesome. we had dinner with some like-minded friends aka organic eaters ;) our feast consisted of turkey with pomegranate seeds, gf stuffing, cranberry sauce, roasted veggies, df mashed potatoes, kale apple salad with cranberries and mushroom gravy. thennnn, for dessert we had yams with dandies marshmallows, poached pears, pumpkin pie, 4 different vegan ice creams & pumpkin biscuits (no shame!). vegan ice cream?! whaaaaat, yes, nada moo and coconut bliss, you must try them.

anyways, we cooked for hours & within minutes the food was gone! the cooking is probably the best part for me because i get to work hard at something that is going to nourish my body and the bodies of my friends! those pumpkin biscuits i mentioned above are the star of this post, so read on, unless you hate pumpkin & small dogs..

pumpkin dessert biscuits

2 c. namaste organic pumpkin baking mix

1/4 c. canned coconut mylk + 1 T.

1/2 flax egg (1/2 T. flax meal + 1.5 T water)

1 over-ripe banana

1 pastured egg

i used my kitchen aid mixer, bamboo measuring utensils & calphalon baking sheet

-mix the flax/water & let sit for 5ish minutes

-put all other ingredients in your kitchenaid/large bowl

-mix until everything is well mixed & add in flax egg

-scoop out with ice cream scooper (i use this one)

-i fit about 18 on the baking sheet

-bake for 13 minutes at 350 degrees F

they are super fluffy when they first come out & then they flatten out a bit. they are interestingly delicious with both a fluffy & chewy texture! our guests loved them.
