Chocolate Coated Pumpkin Spice Cups (Vegan+GF)
I can’t believe how quickly this month has passed by. I’m struggling to keep up with the season because the area I live in tends to switch between Summer and Winter and forget all about Autumn. We just had a record breaking first snow and I’m loving the beauty but also…..like seriously? I really wanted more Autumn. I feel jipped. 😐 Anyway, it’s making think about Christmas season and we’re not even to Halloween yet. Don’t worry, I’ll reign in my obsessive love of Christmas for at least a few more weeks. ;P Despite it feeling like Winter here already, I’m still in the mood for pumpkin spice everything. I was trying to…

Pumpkin Spice Granola (Vegan+GF)
Guys, guys, omg I’m just really excited Autumn is here! So this year hasn’t exactly given us much to look forward to but over my dead body is 2020 going to ruin the Holiday season for me. You feel me? Okay, this granola is probably my new favorite and that’s saying something because I make granola pretty often. Baking anything and everything with pumpkin and spices is always the quickest way to get into the Autumn mood. The only thing I’m slightly disappointed that I didn’t do with this recipe is add some pecans or walnuts. I just didn’t have any on hand because I’d already used them all. I mean, it’s…

Maple Leaf Cream Filled Sandwich Cookies (Vegan)
The leaves have gone from just barely hinting at color to covering the ground in nature’s confetti. Of course, Fall wouldn’t be complete without baking some treats and cookies are always a crowd favorite. So who else loves those Maple leaf cookies from Trader Joe’s? If you’ve never been to TJ’s then you may not know what I’m talking about. These cookies are a classic and have always been a favorite of my mom’s. Now, they’re not exactly health food, obviously, but balance is a good practice and this time of year just needs occasional treats. Besides, a sweet cookie to go with a warm mug of afternoon tea or coffee is just…

The BEST Pumpkin Pancakes and Maple Nut Butter Spread (Vegan+GF)
These just might be the BEST pumpkin pancakes ever. Oh, look at that, I mentioned that in the title. 😉 I’ve been really loving oats lately so I decided these would highly feature oats to make them healthy. This post is all about the best pumpkin pancakes recipe. During the Summer I felt like I could eat allllllll the fruit but the moment the weather shifted all I’ve wanted are warm foods. Now plain old oats can seem really boring to some people, and that’s okay. However, if you want to get the best of both worlds by eating your healthy oats and doing it in a way you love, make oatmeal pancakes!…

Cinnamon Apple Graham Cracker Crumb Bars (Vegan)
And it appears the weekend’s over, so um………I think we need something sweet to “celebrate”, right? HEY, how do you feel about apples and cinnamon stuffed inside cookie bars???? But for reals, what do you think? I have all types in my gang when it comes to apple desserts; the ones that like anything and everything, the ones that only like cooked apples but hate cinnamon, the ones that claim to be allergic to all fruits, those that only like raw apples, and those that refuse to have an opinion at all. With so many people living here in casa craziness it’s becoming easier and easier to get rid of all my extras…
