Main Ingredients- 1 mini pumpkin (approx. 123g)
- 1 soju cup of milk (approx. 50ml)
- 1 egg
- 1 slice of cheese (baby cheese can be used)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
For this recipe, we’ll use one whole mini pumpkin. If you’re preparing this for a baby, using baby cheese will ensure an even safer and milder flavor profile.
Step 2
Wash the mini pumpkin thoroughly, then place it in the microwave and cook for 5 minutes. This ensures the pumpkin is cooked through and tender. To check for doneness, poke it with a fork or try to split it in half. It should be easy to cut or pierce. If it’s still firm, microwave for an additional 1-2 minutes until tender.
Step 3
Carefully cut the cooked pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds and stringy insides with a spoon.
Step 4
Now, trim away the tough skin from the pumpkin halves. We will only be using the soft, cooked flesh for the bread.
Step 5
While the pumpkin flesh is still warm, add the slice of cheese. Use a fork or a masher to mash the pumpkin and cheese together. The warmth of the pumpkin will help the cheese melt naturally, creating a smooth mixture.
Step 6
To the mashed pumpkin and cheese mixture, add 1 soju cup (about 50ml) of milk and stir well until everything is combined. This step helps achieve the right batter consistency.
Step 7
Once the pumpkin and milk mixture has cooled down slightly, crack in the egg and whisk everything together until it forms a smooth, uniform batter.
Step 8
Pour the batter into a steamer basket or a microwave-safe dish. Steam for about 3-4 minutes, or microwave for approximately 3 minutes and 30 seconds until the bread is cooked through. (Note: Microwaving for 3 minutes and 30 seconds worked perfectly in our test.)
Step 9
And there you have it – delicious, soft mini pumpkin bread, naturally sweetened by the pumpkin itself, and completely flourless! It’s the perfect healthy snack.
