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 countless recipes you can make from fall produce and warming spices is incredible. The top of my list this season is definitely pumpkin recipes. Well, don’t worry because I have quite a lot coming your way on my blog.

These super fluffy and moist pumpkin pecan muffins are a great way to kick off this cold weather. They are entirely gluten-free, vegan, and can be eaten with no regrets…however I believe every muffin should be guilt-free (even if its unhealthy). Treat yourself am I right?

Embedded with chunks of pecans and topped with a creamy hazelnut frosting.

I am excited that I am finally bringing to you another gluten-free recipe, because those are quite lacking on my blog. I find that working with gluten-free flours can be quite hard, yet I think I nailed it on this one. Practice makes perfect!

A combination of oat flour and almond flour yields a super fluffy and soft texture without creating the stereotypical crumbly and dense texture that you often associate with gluten-free desserts.

I wanted to create a more unique frosting and veer away from the traditional cashew one. I soaked some hazelnuts, took the skin off, and added some acid, sweetness, and some liquid. The results were an ultra creamy and rich hazelnut goodness. …

I was a bit hesitant on making this recipe, as I have never experiment with gluten-free baking before, but it turned out way better than I expected! These Caramel Vanilla Bean Cookie Slices are too die for and I was holding myself back from eating the whole batch.

The vanilla bean in the cashew filling is so rich and decadent that it pairs perfectly with the blondie. The date caramel filling is actually leftovers from my last recipe I posted!…
