Pumpkin spice should have its own month. You know… one month of celebrating all things pumpkin spice. Like these pumpkin spice cookies. They are gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, and vegan. Top them with some vegan icing and HELLO! It’s autumn. Doing a happy dance in your mouth. Get the recipe…
One of my favorite things to do this time of year is gut up our pumpkins and make my own pumpkin puree. It’s an all-day event. But we then have a freezer full of organic pumpkin puree fresh from the garden to use all year round. The possibilities are limitless when it comes to pumpkin spice recipes. My mind is always churning with how to create recipes that are healthy and made with whole foods and are also gluten free, refined sugar-free, vegan, dairy free, egg free… you get the idea. Oh…. and that still taste just like their sugar and gluten and dairy filled counterparts.
We aren’t deprived in my house. These pumpkin spice cookies are just like the real deal. You can enjoy them solo, or even better, top with some organic and vegan frosting.
