Pumpkin Spice Breakfast Cookies from Vegan Heaven

Pumpkin Spice Breakfast Cookies from Vegan Heaven

From Sina (Vegan Heaven), author of this recipe:

The recipe really couldn’t be easier and it’s ready in less than half an hour. You only need one medium bowl, oats, one mashed banana, soaked flax seeds, pumpkin puree, almond milk, agave, pumpkin seeds, and cranberries. I also added two tablespoons of popped amaranth, which gives them an extra boost of iron. If you can’t find popped amaranth, you can also sub it with almond meal.

We agree, this particular breakfast cookie recipe could not be easier, faster or more nutritious, for that matter.  It is packed with whole food plant-based essential nutrients and loads fiber.

Raw Walnut Coffee Cake with a Brownie Base from One Green Planet

This sumptuous, raw vegan dessert features walnuts, hazelnuts, frozen bananas, dates, cacao powder and butter, flax seeds, and espresso shots.

Raw dessert making tip from recipe author Clemence Moulaert (The Vegan Cookie Fairy):  "raw cakes are beyond easy to make, but unless you organize yourself, it may take a long time to make. Remember that the art of raw baking/cake-making relies heavily on soaking nuts and dates and leaving the cake in the fridge for several hours to firm up. So measure out all your ingredients in advance, soak what needs to be soaked, freeze what needs to be frozen at least a day in advance, and you will save yourself heaps of time."
