Description

A healthier twist on a classic Jewish dish!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb. whole wheat egg noodles, cooked
  • 3/4 cup red wine
  • 3/4 cup raisins
  • 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/8 tsp. nutmeg
  • 3/4 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 cup pumpkin purée
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/3 cup coconut cream*
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 6 eggs (opt. 3 eggs + 6 whites)
  • 1 + 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 2 cups organic corn flake cereal
  • 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/41/3 cup honey
  • Cinnamon to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350˚F.
  2. Cook egg noodles according to package directions. Drain completely and let dry.
  3. While noodles are cooking, bring wine, raisins, and spices to a simmer in a large saucepan. Lower heat, and stir occasionally until wine is thick, syrupy, and completely reduced. Remove from heat.
  4. Combine pumpkin and coconut oil and whisk to combine.**
  5. Stir coconut cream, honey, eggs, and spices into pumpkin mixture.
  6. Add raisins and noodles to pumpkin mixture and toss to coat.
  7. In a separate bowl, combine the corn flakes, walnuts, honey, and coconut oil.
  8. Grease a large, shallow casserole dish with coconut oil or nonstick spray. Add pumpkin noodle mixture to the dish, and sprinkle the corn flake topping evenly over the noodles. Bake for about 35-45 minutes, or until the mixture is totally set and the topping is golden brown.

Notes

  • *To get coconut cream, leave a can of full fat coconut milk in the fridge overnight to separate. The cream is the solid part.
  • **Make sure your pumpkin puree is at room temperature before adding the coconut oil, or else the melted oil may solidify!
