Ingredients
  

  • 1 mini pumpkin
  • 2 tsp water
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 1 tsp coconut palm sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Using a paring knife, carefully cut into the flesh of the pumpkin around the stem. Create a hole big enough to fit a spoon or your fingers inside.
  • Pull the top of the pumpkin off.
  • Hollow out the pumpkin, scraping out any seeds and strings of flesh.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the water, coconut oil, sugar and cinnamon.
  • Pour the mixture into the pumpkin, coating the insides of the pumpkin. Don't forget to put some on the inside of the lid!
  • Place the lid back onto the pumpkin.
  • Put the pumpkin in a shallow, oven-proof pan filled with about 1" of water.
  • Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes. The pumpkin is done when the inside flesh is tender.
