This Grain-Free & Dairy-Free Pumpkin-Coconut Crumb Cake is perfect for cool fall afternoons with a hot mug of coffee or tea.

Nourishing Pumpkin Custard Pie

Pumpkin pie is a fall classic. However, often times it contains highly processed ingredients like evaporated or condensed milk. Instead, try our Nourishing Pumpkin Custard Pie! Real fats from egg yolks and cream help with the absorption of pumpkin’s nutrients. Wildly Organic’s Coconut Sugar naturally sweetens this creamy pie and gives it a delicious caramelized flavor. For the crust, we highly recommend our No-Roll Gluten-Free Pie Crust - no rolling, measuring or cutting is required. Just press into a pan and go! It's seriously the last pie crust recipe you'll ever need!

Baked Pumpkin & Apple Quinoa Salad

Looking for a salad that doesn't look like a salad! Look no further than our baked pumpkin & apple quinoa salad! Pumpkin and quinoa are a match made in heaven in this easy recipe. Pumpkin and apple are tossed in Wildly Organic Expeller-Pressed Coconut Oil and baked to bring out their natural sweetness. Paired with nutty quinoa and topped with Wildly Organic Just Raw Pumpkin Seeds, this quinoa salad makes a great appetizer or side for any meal.
