Vegan Pumpkin Apple Pie
Pumpkin and apple pie are both Thanksgiving essentials as far as I’m concerned. My Grandma always served both, along with pecan pie and when I was little I would always have a little slice of each. This year I made some pecan baklava for thanksgiving but I also wanted to have pumpkin and apple pie, […]
Vegan Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls
As soon as September hits, I am all about the pumpkin goodies! I love fall and all of it’s delicious treats, it is my favorite season! So last weekend I decided to make some Vegan Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls! Because they just sounded so good! There is nothing like a nice soft cinnamon scented roll with […]
Vegan Maple Date Pumpkin Cakes
I am all about enjoying the pumpkin baked goods lately. It is something I look forward to every year, pumpkin spices and pumpkin treats rolling back around! Last weekend I was in the mood for some pumpkin cake, but I didn’t want to make a giant one, or one I had to frost, so what […]
Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Fall is in full swing, the trees are so beautiful with all of their warm colors and dropping their leaves like confetti and I am all about the pumpkin treats right now! Last weekend I decided I needed to make a pumpkin dessert, and I was craving chocolate chip cookies, so I thought I would […]
Vegan Pumpkin Pie Bars
I have been making pumpkin goodies for the last several months, and guess what? I am not sick of them yet! I wait all year for all things pumpkin so I enjoy them all during the fall and winter while I can! Last week for Thanksgiving I decided to make some Vegan Pumpkin Pie Bars […]
Vegan Marbled Pumpkin Layer Cake
We are getting into the final part of fall where the colors are starting to fade and it is getting more chilly. So I am soaking up every last sunny day before it is completely brown outside and the leaves are gone, enjoying running through the crunchy leaves (one of my favorite parts of fall). […]
Warm Vegan Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip Cakes
I love a good pumpkin cake, whether it be a layer cake a loaf cake or cupcakes! There is just something so quintessentially fall about it and enjoying baking it in your kitchen while relaxing on a crisp cool day! I was craving some pumpkin cake last weekend and I wanted something simple so I […]
Vegan Pumpkin Maple Date Granola
You can feel fall in the air even if it is not technically fall yet. The overly hot days are gone, replaced with cool mornings and moderate temperatures. I love it though! This is my favorite time of year and running outside on a cool morning is refreshing! I have also gotten into baking fall […]
Vegan Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies
It has been darn near perfect outside here for the past few days, so I have been spending a lot of time out there enjoying the beautiful leaves, sunshine and cooler temps, but when I get back home I am definitely craving some fall treats! So, I decided to bake some cookies last weekend! Snickerdoodle […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Monkey Bread
When I was little, my Grandma was an amazing baker! Everything she made was so delicious and when I walked into her house and smelled something baking I knew I was in for a treat. Or even better, when she let me help her make things! One of my favorite things ever was her […]
Pumpkin Spice Latte Syrup
I love a good pumpkin spice latte! But it has to be one made with actual real pumpkin in it. I am not a big fan of the ones that are just made with generic syrup by chain coffee shops. My favorite pumpkin spice lattes come from local shops that make their own syrups that […]
6 Ingredient Vegan Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream
I am a little obsessed with pumpkins and all things fall right now. I already have a bunch of pumpkin decor, mainly glass and ceramic ones, but I just bought another one, and then I also bought some cute mini pumpkins because I have been walking past them on display at work and they were […]
Vegan Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Cake
Pumpkin is my jam ever since fall started. I make so many pumpkin cookies and scones at work lately and they always sell really fast so apparently I am not the only one. I have been making cookies, cakes, and pumpkin spice lattes at home, but what I I have really been craving lately that […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte Layer Cake
Everyone is obsessed with pumpkin spice lattes this time of the year, and I am not surprised, since I am a big anything pumpkin lover myself. And, I admit that I buy them from local coffee shops. But they have to be good ones made with real pumpkin and spices not just fake flavoring. We […]
Vegan Pumpkin Cheesecake Swirl Brownies
This is a sponsored post, but all opinions are my own I have been craving pumpkin cheesecake lately since we are in the middle of pumpkin season, but I also thought brownies sounded good. So I thought, why not combine them for a fall treat?! I had some Dastony raw cashew butter and coconut butter […]
Vegan Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake
For Thanksgiving, part of the tradition at my house is to always have some fabulous desserts. Pumpkin pie is traditional, but sometimes I like to switch it up a little bit with the pumpkin desserts. I made some pumpkin creme caramel before and pumpkin cakes, and this year I decided that a vegan pumpkin pie […]
Vegan Pumpkin Pie in a Mug
I love a good pumpkin pie. It is the essential fall dessert, and is actually somewhat healthy compared to many other pies (not that I always care, but I like to get my veggies in sometimes with dessert). I make it in some form every year whether it be mini ones, or a fancy larger […]
Vegan Chocolate Pumpkin Cake Roll
October is over and I hadn’t baked any pumpkin cake yet this year! I made other pumpkin things like pumpkin bars and cookies but no cake, my favorite thing! It has been a bit busy this Fall, more busy than normal it seems for me. But it is being busy with all good things like […]
Vegan Pumpkin Cookies with Maple Glaze
In the deli I work in, we usually make pumpkin cookies. They are soft, with a maple glaze and just the right amount of pumpkin spices. I tried one years ago before I was vegan, and they were delicious! They are a seasonal item that is made every year, and everyone loves them! I have […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte Ice Cream
I know a lot of people hate all of the hype of pumpkin spice lattes, and I get it. There are many chain coffee shops that just use a mix that doesn’t even contain real pumpkin and isn’t that good. But once you have had one at a coffee shop that makes their own artisan […]
Vegan Pumpkin Pie Pop-Tarts
When Eric and I were walking through Target last week, some pumpkin pie pop tarts caught my eye. Now mind you, I have never really liked pop-tarts, I always thought they tasted sort of fake and not anything like real pastry with overly sweet filling. The only ones I would tolerate were […]
Vegan Pumpkin Bars
I bought my first can of pumpkin last week. I have been wanting to make something with pumpkin since the beginning of September which is considered pumpkin season start to me! I have made a few pumpkin spice lattes, but a dessert sounded nice. I will make a pumpkin pie later in the season, since […]
Flavor Fall! With Torani Sugar Free at Walmart
This post is sponsored by Torani but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. Fall is nearly here and that means it is time for all things fall themed like pumpkin spice lattes! Fall is my favorite season and I really look forward to sipping cozy drinks. Although I sometimes buy them at […]
Vegan Pumpkin Cake Roll with Cream Cheese Filling
Cake rolls and jelly roll cakes were something that intimidated me for a long time growing up. So for a long time I was scared to make one, until finally a couple of years ago I made a vegan chocolate chestnut yule log for Christmas and it wasn’t that bad. In fact, it turned out […]
Vegan Pumpkin Maple Creme Caramel
When I was in high school, my Mom and I went on a trip to Europe. When we were eating lunch in a small cafe, I tried my first creme caramel. When I ordered it, I am not sure what I was expecting but it was not like anything I had eaten before. I think […]
Vegan Pumpkin Bread Pudding with Caramel
Earlier this week, a coworker shared some of her home made sourdough bread with me. It was amazing. I am super picky when it comes to bread. It has to be a crusty bread, with good texture (I do not like regular sandwich bread unless it is toasted), and a good chew to it. I […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Cookies
I don’t know about you, but I can’t get enough of pumpkin goodies this year. I like apple treats and Halloween candy too, and I have been making those as well this October, but pumpkin seems to be the favorite. Thank goodness for canned pumpkin though! Back in the day, I used to like to […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte Mix
I am not much of a coffee drinker, but since it is pumpkin spice latte season, I have had a few in the past couple of weeks when we go out for coffee on weekends instead of my usual matcha latte as a seasonal treat. I know some people hate these things, and they get […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte Caramels
Halloween just a few short weeks away, and up until a few days ago I hadn’t made any candy this year yet! I always make peanut butter cups, and I need to get around to those, but this week, the first thing I made was some pumpkin spice latte caramels. I am not usually a […]
Vegan Pumpkin Caramel Rolls
Last weekend we drove up to Duluth MN and Gooseberry Falls State Park for the day, since I took some vacation from work and those are some of my favorite places to visit. It is about a 2 hour drive to Duluth and another hour up to the park, so as you can imagine we […]
Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ever since we rolled into fall earlier this week, I feel like the trees and nature have gotten the memo because the leaves are starting to change and there is a bit of the chill in the air. I am kind of sad because I have a strained hamstring and can’t run through the crunchy […]
Pumpkin Spice Hazelnut CBD Ice Cream Pops
Fall may be here, but it is still pretty warm outside so I am still in the mood for ice cream treats. So I thought, why not make some fall flavored ones?! I have been making a lot of apple and pear stuff lately, so this time I made pumpkin. Plus we are almost into […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Granola
Fall is officially here, so I had to make something pumpkin spice. I know everyone makes fun of people that like pumpkin spice and pumpkin spice lattes and whatnot, and while I agree that some things should not be pumpkin spice flavored (like certain savory items), most pumpkin spice is darn delicious and I love […]
Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Swirled Pumpkin Pie
I made a double chocolate pecan pie last weekend, and saved half in the freezer for Thanksgiving, and I thought I should make a pumpkin pie too, since it wouldn’t be right not to have both. I don’t know about you, but when I was a kid, I thought that the dessert was the […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Waffles
When I do recipe experiments, they don’t always turn out perfect. In fact sometimes they are fantastic flops. Like when I tried to make pumpkin waffles about a month ago. I was all excited to make them, and the batter looked good and all but turned out that it was way to sticky and it […]
Vegan Pumpkin Turtle Cheesecake
I see food items and recipes all the time that I say to myself I would like to veganize. There was a magazine next to the checkout line when I was at the store and said it was all pumpkin desserts. On the cover was the most glorious looking pumpkin turtle cheesecake. But of course […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Caramel Lava Cakes
Happy first official day of Fall! I thought it would be appropriate since it is to share my first pumpkin recipe of the season with all of you! My Mom recently asked me if I would make some pumpkin lava cakes, and of course I could not say no because they sounded amazing. I have […]
Vegan Triple Layer Chocolate Pumpkin Pie
I do my best thinking on my runs. Which is why they are so important and an essential part of my life. If I am trying to sort out a problem, it is a good time to just be inside my own head and try and figure out a way to fix it. Or, maybe […]
Vegan White Chocolate Pumpkin Pie Cups
To be completely honest, pumpkin pie was not my favorite growing up. It was just something I ate because it was tradition. Apple and pecan won over it. But, don’t worry. I have come to appreciate it more as an adult, mostly because my home made version is really good. You know what makes it […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip Cake with Fudge Frosting
I hate to waste things. So, I have little containers in my freezer a lot of the time with odds and ends like extra strawberry puree, canned pumpkin or that 1/2 can of coconut milk in a container I had leftover. I find uses for it all too! Sometimes it doesn’t even make it to […]
30+ Vegan Pumpkin Desserts
The last time I carved a pumpkin was over 5 years ago. Which is kind of sad actually, because it is fun, and even though I am an adult, I still enjoy doing things like that. I am not the best at carving, and my designs always turn out a little less spectacular than I […]
Vegan Pumpkin Patch Coffeecake
When I was little, my Mom found this delicious Fall coffeecake recipe in the local newspaper, and she made it her own by adding oats to the topping, extra spices and swapping out a portion of the oil with more pumpkin. I always looked forward to it, it was so good! Like something that you […]
Vegan Pumpkin Cream Cheese Pie
I can not believe how beautiful it has been here lately! It was 60F degrees yesterday, and normally it is 40. I will take it, the snow will fly here soon enough! It is Minnesota after all. So, I took full advantage yesterday, a nice 10 mile run to enjoy the beautiful morning and rising […]
Vegan Pumpkin Cranberry Chevre
It has been beautiful here lately! Normally in November it is about 20 degrees cooler and we are all bundling up in hats and coats, but I actually am able to go out for my runs in shorts, wear t-shirts during the day, and enjoy the season! The sunsets have been awesome, and I have […]
Vegan Harvest Chocolate Cake with Pumpkin Caramel Filling
I can think of nothing better than making a big chocolate cake after my long run. That is not to say I run for cake, but it just sounds really good. Not immediately after, but like later in the day when I am ready to chill and relax with some cake, wine and my man. […]
Mini Vegan Pumpkin Pies
Monday I went for a 24 mile bike ride in the morning to enjoy the scenery and give my legs a rest from running. It is just gorgeous here this time of the year! The trees are all sorts of different colors, and when the wind blows they flutter to the ground like confetti. Not […]
Vegan Pumpkin “Cream Cheese” Muffins
Many times when I am at work, I am inspired by the delicious baked goods that my coworkers make. I like to go home and veganize and healthify (somewhat) them. So, they have been making these pumpkin muffins with cream cheese filling lately and they always look amazing. Not only that, they smell amazing, and […]
Vegan Pumpkin Doughnuts with Maple glaze
When I was little, my Mom and I used to go to a local bakery and get doughnuts every once in a while. My favorite were these ones with maple glaze. They were sooo good! I haven’t had one since I was probably 10 years old, but I still remember exactly how they tasted, and […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Sometimes you have a good week where everything goes right, and sometimes you don’t. What matters is how you deal with it, and whether it makes you a better person, or a worse person. Well, I had one of those not so good weeks, you know where nothing goes the way you planned it, things […]
Vegan Mini Pumpkin Spice Cheesecakes and Sweetleaf Stevia Giveaway!
When SweetLeaf Stevia contacted me to see if I would like to do a collaboration I could not say no! To be honest, I have been buying their stevia for over 10 years, and I used to go through a lot of it. I have tried a few other brands and none of them measure […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Caramel Ice Cream
This time of the year gets me excited. It makes me happy to be able to wake up on a cool morning, run through the crunchy leaves, eat some warm oatmeal when I get home and drink a warm matcha latte while dreaming up some fall baking recipes. That is my ideal weekend morning actually. Don’t even […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip Cookies
I caved. I jumped on the pumpkin spice bandwagon. What can I say? Fall is in the air and I am in the mood for pumpkin and apples. My first baked good, pumpkin cookies. We make pumpkin cookies at my work, and they are always very popular this time of the year. They smell amazing […]
Vegan Mocha Pumpkin Bread
I had some leftover pumpkin from another recipe needing to be used in the fridge, and I did not want to put a lot of work into making something with it. Cake sounded good, but I have made lots of pumpkin spice cakes this year. Plus cake was a little more work than I wanted. […]
Vegan Pumpkin Pull Apart Bread
My Grandma used to make the most wonderful thing in the world (at least to my five year old self), monkey bread. In case you have never heard of it, it is bread that is shaped into little balls, all baked together with cinnamon sugar that becomes gooey and caramel like, and pecans. It was […]
Vegan Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Pancakes (gluten free)
I asked Eric what I should make one night last week and he said cinnamon rolls. But unfortunately it was a work night, and I didn’t have a lot of time to let those babies rise, so I couldn’t make them. But they sounded really good to me too, so I thought I would […]
Spicy Raw Apple Salsa and Pumpkin Chia Chips
I saw an apple salsa somewhere on TV (not sure where because I can’t remember now), and all I remember about it was that I wanted to make apple salsa of my own after seeing that! I don’t even remember what was in theirs, but that’s ok because I had an idea of what I wanted […]
Creamy Vegan Pumpkin and Leek Penne Pasta
I don’t look at a bad day as a reason to throw a pity party. Instead I think of it as character building. If you can survive a really bad day, then the next one won’t be so bad because you know you will get through it. Right? And when you have good days, […]
Raw White Chocolate Pumpkin Cheesecake
I was hard core craving some pumpkin spice cheesecake last weekend. But just plain pumpkin spice wasn’t going to cut it, I wanted to add white chocolate as well. oddly enough it has been a while since I made a raw cheesecake since I have been working on my book making other types of cakes. […]
Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Doughnuts
It is finally starting to feel like fall. I have broken out the jackets and sweaters, and it is long sleeve running weather. But I love it. It makes me feel cozy inside when it is a little chilly on the outside and I have to move a little faster or snuggle a little more […]
Pumpkin Pie Dessert Hummus
I have made pumpkin spice everything else, so I decided that some pumpkin pie hummus would be wonderful…since I am still craving pumpkin deliciousness. I like to have either hummus or nut butter with apples or crackers for an evening snack, but I get bored having the same thing, so this pumpkin pie hummus was […]
Roasted Pumpkin and Black Bean Salad with Groundnut Dressing
When I was out for my run this morning, I noticed a few people have set out pumpkins on their steps as decoration. Not surprising, official pumpkin season is officially here! I even got one in my CSA box this time. Although it was pretty, and I thought I might want to just display it, […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Crepes
Eric has been telling me I should make cinnamon sugar crepes for months now, and I was a bit stubborn saying that they sounded boring, and they did a little to me…until I realized it is now fall, and I could make pumpkin crepes with cinnamon sugar! Because that makes ALL the difference, at least […]
Lentil Ragout over Pumpkin Gnocchi
The last time I attempted to make vegan gnocchi, it ended in disaster. They fell apart, and I was so disappointed because I was excited about the recipe. That was about 6 years ago, and I decided it was time to attempt them again. After all, I have nailed several things since then that had […]
Vegan Maple Pecan Pumpkin Cookies
Happy first official day of Autumn! Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy Summer but crisp fall mornings are one of my favorite things. I have been enjoying wearing sweatshirts and feeling a bit of a chill in the air. This weather makes for great runs and comfortable walks, all the while crunching the leaves on […]
Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oats
Pumpkin everything season has arrived. People are gaga over pumpkin everything from lattes to muffins, and I totally get it because I love it too, and Autumn is my favorite season. I have started making the pumpkin delicacies myself too. I had made a cake last weekend and had leftover pumpkin, so I decided […]
Raw Pumpkin Spice Coconut Macaroons
One of my readers suggested a while back when I posted an Raw Apple Cinnamon Macaroon recipe that I make some pumpkin spice ones. I loved the idea, and I finally got around to making them last week! I love coconut macaroons, as does my Mom, so I know if I make some I will be […]
