I've been staring at that can of 100% pumpkin on my shelf for days now, wondering what I should do with it.
Sure, I could make the usual pumpkin pie, but I wanted to try something different.
Since I have been in a powder making craze lately, I thought it would be great to add pumpkin powder to my collection.
This is probably one of the simplest recipes that I shared so far. All I did was open the can of pumpkin and spread it on a parchment paper lined dehydrator tray, and let my trusty
Excalibur dehydrator do its magic for several hours at 135F.
I didn't really measure the exact time of the dehydrating process
because how long it takes to dry depends on how thick you layer on the
pumpkin puree, but mine took about 5 or 6 hours to get to the dry and
brittle stage.
The next step is to break the dehydrated puree into smaller chunks and let the spice grinder do all the hard work. I used my
Ninja spice grinder attachment and it definitely did the job.
The 29oz can of pumpkin, in powder form, filled up one 4oz baby food jar and half of a 2.5oz baby food jar.
I'm so excited to stock up on a different veggie powder. Stay tuned for next week's post where I will reveal my big plans on using this pumpkin powder for a Halloween-y / Thanksgiving-y / pumpkin-y treat my kids are sure to love.
