Ultra Fudgy Pumpkin Tahini Brownies

November 5, 2019 by healthienut Leave a Comment

I mean pumpkin, tahini, and chocolate? Sounds like the ultimate trio to me. It’s seasonal, nutty, and ultra chocolatey. Double the batch if you want to make two servings…kidding only a little.

Ultra fudgy, moist, and will simply melt in your mouth. With all the right ingredients these are entirely gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and of course plant-based. Embedded with chunks of dark chocolate, sweetened with coconut sugar, with a bit of tahini for the perfect nutty flavor in every bite.

I kind of don’t want to go on about this recipe, so we can get straight into how to make this, but let me just give you a run down on these bad boys.

Pecan Apple Bread | The Ultimate Fall Dessert

September 23, 2019 by healthienut Leave a Comment

If you’re looking for the perfect fall dessert for this time of year…you have absolutely come to the right recipe. Sit back, relax, grab a cup of hot coffee or tea, and enjoy this slice of heaven.

It’s moist, fluffy, with a crunch of caramelized pecans, embedded with soft chunks of apple, an aroma of fall spices, and a hint of bay leaf…which trust me adds a whole other layer of flavor to this loaf.

This loaf is the perfect recipe to bake on a cold, rainy day. It will make your home smell like fall… I assure you better than any autumn candle out there.

Feel free to use regular white flour in replace of gluten-free flour and a regular egg or flax egg!

Gluten-free Pumpkin Spice Pop Tarts

September 19, 2019 by healthienut Leave a Comment

Am I overdoing it with the pumpkin recipes? Definitely not. If I am being completely honest I have had a pumpkin flavored dessert every single day for the past week and a half. Am I ashamed? Not even in the slightest.

So here is another pumpkin recipe to feed not only my cravings, but I am sure many others who are in the same boat. These Pumpkin Spice Poptarts are so buttery, flaky, and are the perfect fall dessert for all ages. Yes these are gluten-free…no these are not dry (in the slightest).

Not only are these pop tarts 100% gluten-free and vegan, but they are refined sugar-free as well.

Don’t feel intimidated when looking at this recipe. I assure you it’s a lot easier than you think to prepare.

The dough is only made out of 5 ingredients: GF flour, coconut sugar, salt, vegan butter, and milk. Filling is 4 ingredients: pumpkin puree, coconut sugar, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice. The icing is also only 4 ingredients: coconut milk, maple syrup, pumpkin spice, and coconut oil.

The Best Gluten-free Pumpkin Bread

September 15, 2019 by healthienut 2 Comments

I know I know…it might seem like a far stretch to label this bread as the best, but I have good reasons for it. It’s moist, fluffy, perfectly sweet -not overally sweet, and is good for you (well better than the average dessert).

Sprinkle with a bit of pepitas and rolled oats and you got the perfect crunch in every bite. So good you might be tempted to eat more than 2…or 3 slices.

I published a pumpkin bread recipe last year and don’t get me wrong it’s really good, but I knew I could make it even better and healthier this time. Ditched the vegan butter and white flour and here we are with a new and improved and even better recipe.

Replaced the vegan butter with coconut oil. Although coconut oil does contain saturated fat it doesn’t contain palm oil (not environmentally friendly). Feel free to substitute the coconut oil for a creamy nut butter.

Also, replaced the white flour with a gluten-free alternative. A mix of all-purpose gluten free flour and almond. I always find that almond flour always adds a nice texture to the bread and has a yummy nutty flavor….

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

When you have a big pile of zucchini sitting in your fridge and you have a huge sweet tooth…what else are you supposed to make other than zucchini bread. Let’s be real.

Embedded with chocolate chips, sweetened with maple syrup, hints of tahini, and of course zucchini. You’ll be wanting to eat the whole loaf, let me tell you.

I am kind of indecisive when it comes to the textures I am looking for in a sweet bread like this. Do I want it fluffy? Dense? Fudgy? Moist? Why not all four?

Fudgy from the chocolate, so moist and fluffy, yet perfectly dense. It is heavenly.
