Pumpkin Pie Pudding [Vegan & Fruit-Sweetened]

Ingredients

• 4 large Medjool dates, pitted & roughly chopped, or enough to fill about 1/4 cup
• 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp pure maple extract
• 1/2 cup mashed overripe banana, about 1 medium (for the sweetest pudding, wait until your banana has a completely brown – but not black – peel)
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (homemade is especially good in this recipe because you are not cooking it)
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
