You, this cake, and your favorite cup of coffee or tea…it’s happening! Start your kettle and let’s bake, friends! This 1-bowl PUMPKIN coffee cake begins with using an electric mixer to combine the cane sugar and vegan butter, ensuring a light and fluffy result (a tricky task with pumpkin-based treats!). Next, we add pumpkin purée and vanilla, giving it fall flavor and color. The mixture starts resembling a cake-like batter with the addition of all-purpose flour (we used our 1:1 gluten-free blend) and almond flour (for a tender crumb texture)....

Thankfully, they seem to be readily available and a great way to get in some vegetables and fruit, which helps me feel a bit more “in my routine” even when I’m not. This creamy avocado smoothie was inspired by a recent trip to Iceland, where I hit the smoothie jackpot. Let me show you how it’s made! This creamy avocado smoothie is easy to make, requiring just 5 ingredients, 1 blender, and 5 minutes....

Presenting a warm and savory Brussels sprout slaw that screams winter, is über comforting, and is quick and easy to make. This recipe requires just 30 minutes and less than 10 ingredients to prepare. The base is shredded Brussels sprouts, which are tossed in a tangy, slightly sweet mustard sauce. Hubba. Pecans add nuttiness and a little protein, while coconut bacon (!!) adds a lovely crunch and saltiness to the dish....

While I would put these waffles in the “indulge” category, they’re definitely a healthy indulgence. With no added sugar besides what’s in the chocolate chips, plenty of fiber from old fashioned oats, and tons of banana flavor from two whole bananas, I don’t feel one ounce of guilt for having these as a weekday treat or a slow weekend breakfast — and you shouldn’t either. I named these banana bread waffles for a reason: They are a quicker way to make banana bread that mocks the flavor to a T....

Well, you’ve gotta open with something? Why not Gina? (Don’t worry, Rhonda. You’re still my main ongoing-joke squeeze.) I’m a huge muffin fan (yes, in both size, quantity, and frequency of consumption). Did you know pretty much all of the muffin recipes on this blog are a spin-off of the muffins John used to bake me when we were dating? Yes, my man wooed me with muffins, hence the reason our courtship went so smoothly....

❤️ You’ll Love This Corn Pulao Recipe Taste & Flavor: This pulao is aromatic with mild flavors. Though you can make it spicy by increasing the green chili amount. Every bite will have a hint of sweetness from juicy sweet corn kernels. This corn pulao makes a great lunch box for kids and adults. Don’t forget to pack a small container of yogurt or any raita (e.g. cucumber raita, onion tomato raita)....

Does your brain ever do crazy stuff like that? My best ideas seem to come when I’m about to doze off and don’t have a notebook or pen to write things down, so I just make a pact with my brain to remember. And the next day we both do our best to recall what we were thinking. Thankfully, this one made it through the pipeline! Three cheers for my old lady brain still working!...

In a quest to find a more decadent way to enjoy cold brew, we created this show-stopping 5-ingredient smoothie that’s naturally sweetened, customizable, and reminiscent of a chocolate coffee milkshake. Swoon! Let us show you how it’s done. It starts with freezing coconut milk into ice cubes. This helps give the smoothie a thick, luxurious texture. The cold brew coffee can also be made in advance to save time. Or opt for store-bought cold brew for an even quicker shortcut!...

It’s our new favorite sheet pan meal, especially served with polenta, roasted potatoes, or lemon risotto. Let us show you how it’s done! It starts with adding the veggies to the baking sheet. We love using bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, asparagus, and red onion, but you could get creative here! We recommend keeping the red onion because it adds natural sweetness and the kalamata olives because they add a lovely saltiness and healthy monounsaturated fat, too....

And what do I love most about curries? Veggies and coconut milk. Since I wanted to keep this vegetarian/vegan friendly, I served it over coconut quinoa for added protein and fiber. I have to say it was a lovely choice. It really marries the dish together well (but completely optional). The rest of the recipe is basically veggies of your choice and a special mix of spices. I went with broccoli, carrot, onion, snow peas and tomato, but you could go with just bell peppers and onion, potatoes, cauliflower, etc....

Why doesn’t anyone make cinnamon rolls? They’re complicated, difficult and time consuming. That’s why. But these cinnamon rolls are different: 7 ingredientsNo complex stepsNo difficult methodsPractically fool proofJust straightforward, fluffy, gooey goodness in cinnamon-roll form. Oh yeah, and they’re vegan. Holy friggin’ delicious. I was able to keep the ingredients to a minimum by narrowing down what you really need in a cinnamon roll and forgetting the rest. And then I went a step further and tested the true need for “scalding the milk” and letting them rise a second (sometimes third) time....

❤️ You’ll Love Eggless Chocolate Chip Muffins It requires 10 ingredients only. This muffins batter comes together in 15 minutes only. It has soft, moist and bread-like texture the same as you get in egg version. It has a cinnamon-sugar topping. While muffins are fresh, the topping stays crispy. And it gets soft the second day but still delicious. (Not the cinnamon fan, skip the topping). This is a very versatile muffin batter....

What is tutti frutti? It is Indian candied fruit made from raw papaya. The different color is because of the addition of food color. In India, it is used in many different recipes like cookies, cakes, ice creams etc. Tutti frutti is really sweet, so to cut down the sweetness or balance the flavors, I have added lemon zest which provides nice tang to the cookies. Also gives the freshness in the mouth after having a bite....

This “fall in a jar” condiment adds sweetness and spice to pancakes or waffles, biscuits, toast, and more. Talk about the ultimate fall breakfast! Let’s get started! How to Make Pumpkin-Spiced Maple Butter This CREAMY, fluffy fall delight begins with simmering maple syrup and pumpkin purée to create a pumpkin-maple reduction. It then gets a generous dose of pumpkin pie spice. Oh yes, we went there! After letting the mixture cool, the pumpkin-maple reduction is ready to whip with vegan butter until super light and fluffy!...

My General Tso’s tofu is the perfect balance of spicy, sweet, and savory. It is loaded with protein (20+ grams per serving!) and comes together in just 30 minutes! This recipe is a reader request – thanks Marshette! Much like Singapore Noodles, I had never actually tried General Tso’s stir fry before. But from what I hear, it’s traditionally lightly battered and fried chicken tossed with a savory-sweet sauce, and cooked with green onion and dried red chilies for heat....

This recipe combines two of my favorite things: Chewy ginger cookies and sweet citrus frosting. Thought they don’t fit my current dairy-free bill, I made them a while back for a party I attended and were mostly devoured by fellow guests. I made some with modest amounts of frosting and others with obscene amounts. Guess which ones went first? OBSCENE. Fat kids are popular, what can I say? Not only are these cookie sandwiches fun to look at, they’re also quite delectable....
