Kids LOVE this. (We have proven this in clinical research.)
Ingredients:
1 can of pureed pumpkin.
Coconut Oil or Butter
Sugar
Cinnamon (even a little added ginger and nutmeg if you have it)
Directions:
Take 1 can of pumpkin, open it up and put it in a microwave safe bowl.
Add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil (or butter if you don't have this).

Add a touch of salt. Throw in the microwave for 3 minutes.
Remove, stir and cool. Add or adjust the flavors as you like. Enjoy.. this is a tasty way to get a huge dose of Vitamin A. Spinach and Kale also have huge amounts of Vitamin A. But they are not as tasty!!

Why use canned pumpkin? I buy small pumpkins, about the size of the canned. Cut the top off, scoop out the seeds and save to roast. Put the spices other ingredients in, put the top back on and microwave for about the same amount of time. Scrape the meat out of the shell. Even saves dirtying a bowl.
