It’s officially fall, which in 2018 equivalates to pumpkin spice errrrywhere season. Every restaurant, coffee shop, and corner store is offering all of the popular autumn flavors and treats.
And guess what? Most of them are loaded with animal byproducts.
Never fear! Vegans and those of us who are #LivingNaturallySensible can still get in on all of the fun. We’ve put together a list of all of our favorite vegan Fall desserts and treats. Added bonus: many of these are also gluten-free!
So grab your grocery list and add the ingredients for the recipes you’d like to try!
- 1-Bowl Vegan Pumpkin Roll
Minimalist baker created a vegan version of the pumpkin roll and I think I’ve died and gone to pumpkin-and-cream-cheese heaven. Oh and the best part… you only need to wash one bowl!
- Sweet Potato Ice Cream
Florida is hot, y’all. Sometimes warm apple pie just doesn’t sound good on a 95-degree day. But sweet potato ice cream? Yes please!
- Vegan Apple Cider Doughnuts
Are doughnuts a dessert, or a breakfast food? We’re not sure, but even though you can often find apple cider doughnuts at your local pumpkin patch, they don’t usually offer a vegan alternative. Here is a recipe for vegan apple cider doughnuts.
And for the record, we think these should be enjoyed for breakfast AND dessert.
- 1-Bowl Vegan Gluten-Free Carrot Cake
Minimalist Baker offers ANOTHER 1-bowl recipe for easy cleanup. It’s like she knows me. Anyways, here is her 1-bowl gluten-free vegan carrot cake.
- Balsamic Candied Pecans
Ever go to the county fair and see those candied pecans that smell ahhhmazing? Here is a recipe for vegan balsamic candied pecans that you can make at home.
- Pear Apple Crisp
Gluten-free, paleo, AND vegan? Whoop whoop! Give this vegan pear apple crisp recipe a try!
- Vegan Cheesecake with Salted Caramel Fudge Sauce
You had me at cheesecake. But with a salted caramel fudge sauce? I’m making this recipe, like, yesterday.
- Fudgy Vegan Walnut Brownies
Sometimes you’re just in the mood for chocolate, and these vegan brownies will do just the trick.
Alright enough already. Get to baking and enjoy all of the tastes of fall!
