With the days getting shorter, the cozy spent moments at home are getting longer. This means, it’s finally time for some Netflix and … pumpkin cake. Don’t worry though the chilling part will be included automatically.
Let’s face it: A snack is essential when it comes to a relaxed movie night – or afternoon. As the pumpkin season is about to start, you don’t want to miss the various healthy benefits of the orange vegetable. Well, chewing on a piece of raw pumpkin might not be the exact yummy companion you are looking for in front of the TV; so you better go for a updated sweet variation. A pumpkin bread is easily made and its potential to get addicted once you’ve eaten the first piece makes it the ultimate movie night snack. Luckily, it stays fresh if you keep in an airtight box. So you can even take some pumpkin bread with you to university or work the next day – a delicious reminder to take a well-deserved break in between lectures or meetings.
