Ingredients

Units
  • 1 15 oz (435 g) can of pumpkin puree
  • 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice (or homemade: 1 tbsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ginger, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 tsp clove, 1/4 tsp black pepper)
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) brown sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup plus 2 tbsp (270 ml) water
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) vegetable oil
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture darkens and the spices become fragrant. Turn off the heat and set aside to cool.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, water, vegetable oil, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir until a smooth batter forms.
  3. Preheat the fish-shaped mold over medium heat. Lightly grease the mold with oil.
  4. Pour a thin layer of batter into each side of the mold, ensuring the entire surface is covered.
  5. Add a tbsp of the pumpkin filling to the center of one side of the mold.
  6. Close the mold and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the exterior is golden brown and crispy.
  7. Carefully remove the fish-shaped bread from the mold and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy while warm.

Notes

  • For the filling, you can use any pumpkin pie spice you prefer.
  • The filling can be stored in the fridge and becomes more flavorful over time.
  • If you don’t have a fish-shaped mold, you can use any similar mold or waffle iron.
  • The batter crisps up quickly, so keep an eye on it while cooking.
