When you don’t have pumpkin seed butter, make your own! While you’re at it, make it even more special with the addition of coconut! This little spreadable gem was the last pumpkin recipe I was going to share last year, but time ran out! The recipe is actually from June of 2015 though. Sad, crying, pumpkin neglect! I guess pumpkin seed butter isn’t technically seasonal, but for some reason, I felt it was somehow wrong to post it in the off-season.

MY LATEST VIDEOS

I’m actually not feeling as pumpkin crazy as last year. I’m just giving you old pumpkin recipes I had to share with only this lovely bread as something newly created. I’m always surprising you with all those old recipes I tell you about in my stockpile! Good thing! I really don’t have time (or the right access) to be cooking anything new right now :/ It’s making me sad. I think I should submit a request to abstain from chemistry if I use my cooking and recipe development as a substitute! You know cooking is a science and chemical reactions are always happening!

That will be my fall-back plan. You know I’m even taking a chemistry for non-majors class. It’s not General Chemistry I and II. It’s “Chemistry of Life”. Which actually is general chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry all wrapped into ONE semester. My professor said we’re just scratching the surface of it all….but that is not the case. The material is pretty in-depth and the only things that will be factored into our final grade are our mid-term and final :O It’s…rather horrifying! This class was one of the options for the chemistry prerequisite for my major (Public Health), no it’s a necessary evil…But really, can I just cook instead?

This may not count as chemistry credit considering it’s only 3 ingredients, but maybe… What if I ditched the whole public health thing and went for food science? No! That’s an extremely intense and difficult major! Haha! I love the actual public health courses I’ve been taking this semester. Just Principles of Public Health and Healthcare Systems, but both are fantastic (and 3-hour lecture classes, but that’s the type of teaching style I like!). The research class I’m taking isn’t under the public health major, but it’s research in the disciples of science and medicine. So guess what I’m doing my research paper on? CELIAC DISEASE! I’ll be cranking out 10 pages of autoimmune perfection 😉

So tell me:

+ What did you major/ double major/ minor in?

+ Some many rambles today, but what did you find to be the most helpful way to study for a difficult course while in college?

    What a surprising yet yummy blend of healthy ingredients! I never thought to blend shredded coconut with other ingredients. You have really inspired me to try working with these ingredients in new and different ways.

    This sounds delicious! My husband would hate it, but it sounds like a great snack for my pregnant self and I won’t have to share with him (but maybe with my kids hmmmm) I guess I’ll have to make extra for them. We all love coconut and pumpkin, him not so much with the coconut.

    Just when I thought I’d had every single possible nut butter under the seen. I guess this is technically a seed butter. I really like that you incorporated coconut as I’m not sure I’d enjoy plain pumpkin butter. This sounds great =)

    I can feel myself getting healthier just reading about this butter. Looks yummy too! So…would being a food science major involve a lot of chemistry? It sounds like a great choice for you, but then public health does too. OMG don’t ask me about college, what a disaster. I’m allergic to classrooms, they make my brain turn off. 😀 Your paper will rock so hard, I’m excited for you!

    I looove pumpkin seeds, so this coconut pumpkin seed butter must taste amazing! I love the deep green color of it as well. I don’t know why, but green foods always make me happy. Maybe that’s why I can’t get enough of brussel sprouts lately?! 🙂

    I have a bunch of pumpkin that I’m going to enjoy over the next month but I’ve been wondering what I would do with all the seeds! Love how paleo friendly this is – definitely going to try this out! Thanks for the recipe!

    Hey, Rebbeca. Love the Raw Coconut Pumpkin Seed Butter idea. Can’t wait to try it once I found a reliable source for unsalted raw pumpkin seeds that are not from China. It seems 99% of pumpkin seeds in the USA are originated in China.

    Looks amazing! I love all kinds of seed and nut butters, but I have to say I haven’t tried pumpkin seed butter. Need to try this recipe soon!!

    It’s SO awesome that you have a recipe stockpile. Talk about being prepared and awesome! I’ve totally got to start working on that. I know what you mean about feeling wrong releasing pumpkin during other parts of the year. Haha. I love the idea of combining pumpkin and coconut–two amazing favorites. Thanks for sharing this! Have a fantastic weekend!

      It feels a bit weird, yet we do other seasonal things all throughout the year! So pumpkin it is!

    I never had to take chemistry thankfully! I majored in sociology and marketing but I did have 2 years of nursing classes with a lot of biology and microbiology classes. When studying for those it really helped me to copy my notes like 10 times. As for this pumpkin seed butter, I love it! I make pumpkin seed energy bars that are fantastic this time of year with some pumpkin spice thrown in so I bet I would love this!

      Yes! Writing things out is always best! I also love “teaching” someone else. I’ve been known to talk or “explain out loud” to myself! It helps to actually teach it!

    Your research paper sounds perfect for you. I call that a result! LOL!

    I did a BA in education, focusing on SEN (Special Educational Needs), plus I also did English Language, with English Lit, Sociology, and Psychology as my ‘side quests’! I would love to do a degree in Linguistics – in fact, I wish I’d done that first – but practicality needs to take precedence, and quite apart from not having the time to do another degree, really, at my age, I’m not sure it would have any value, other than to give me a sense of self-satisfaction!

    As for your p-seed butter – it looks fantastic. Can’t quite make up my mind whether it’s Loki green, or Slytherin! Maybe it could be both!

    Have you ever had pumpkin seed oil? It’s very much a thing here, and I have to tell that it knocks the socks off sesame! Plus it is a beautiful rich, deep green colour. If you haven’t come across it but fancy trying it, you might find it in Eastern European supermarkets, if you have such things there. 🙂

      Haha, thank you for such a long developed comment 🙂

      Yes! But pumpkin seed oil is $$$$$ just like store-bought pumpkin seed butter!

    Pumpkin seed butter and coconut butter are probably two of my fave nut butters. Now you’ve combined them into one . . . This could be a dangerous thing for me to make!! 😉

    What a genius recipe idea! I bet this tastes absolutely amazing. I’ve just roasted a bit of organic pumpkin that came in our last veg box and I’ve reserved the seeds. Not enough for this recipe though, but it’s inspiring nonetheless!

      Yes!!! I’m always looking for everything coconut and pumpkin seeds are perfect for the season!
