Chocolate Pumpkin Mousse (Vegan)

October 1, 2015September 10, 2017 Melissa King 22 Comments

This Chocolate Pumpkin Mousse is so decadent, no one would ever guess it was made healthier. Since everyone is all about the pumpkin recipes this time of year, I created another one for you. Chocolate and pumpkin make the best combination ever.

All you need is 4 simple ingredients and just a few minutes. I just love recipes with small ingredient lists.

Chocolate Pumpkin Mousse

This healthy pumpkin mousse is vegan, gluten free and paleo. There is very little added sugar.

I topped mine with chocolate chips, but you can definitely eat it plain too. This would also be a great frosting recipe.

Chocolate Pumpkin Loaves (Vegan and Gluten Free)

Chocolate Pumpkin Loaves. I have many pumpkin recipes, but I haven’t made a chocolate pumpkin recipe until now. My husband is a huge chocolate fan, so these chocolate pumpkin vegan loaves were right up his alley.

I am not that into chocolate (gasp!), so I prefer the eat my regular pumpkin muffins. These got his stamp of approval though!

If you want to boost the chocolate flavor even more, you can add in some dark chocolate chips.

These Chocolate Pumpkin Loaves are vegan and gluten free. Super simple to make too. If you don’t have a mini loaf pan, you can also make these as muffins. Just adjust the cooking time to about 10 minutes.

Pumpkin Chocolate Cheesecake

September is finally here and I am so excited for all things pumpkin. I am kicking pumpkin season off with this amazing Pumpkin Chocolate Cheesecake. This healthier cheesecake is vegan, gluten free and grain free. You can make it super easily too. No cooking required!

This pumpkin chocolate cheesecake is super rich. It starts with a chocolate/almond crust, then a creamy cheesecake layer, and then it’s topped with more chocolate! This one is a must try. If you serve it at a party, no one will ever know it was made healthier with no refined sugar. Trust me, it’s that good. 🙂

Homemade Healthier Tagalongs

Ever since I started eating clean and vegan, girl scout cookies were off my list of things to eat. Well now I don’t have to say that anymore. I made you some Homemade Healthier Tagalongs! They are very easy to make and only require 5 ingredients. If you like girl scout cookies, you may also like my Homemade Vegan Samoas.

These are gluten free, vegan and grain free. They could even be paleo approved if you make them with almond butter instead of peanut butter.

Grain Free Twix Bars (Vegan and Paleo)

August 12, 2015June 13, 2017 Melissa King 23 Comments

Grain Free Twix Bars. Twix bars were one of my favorite candy bars back in the day. I already have one twix recipe on my blog, but I wanted to create another one that was grain free with much less ingredients.

That is how I came up with these grain free vegan twix bars. It was really hard to get a good pic, but I promise you they are delicious! Super easy too. Only 5 ingredients!

This recipe has hardly any added sugar at all. There is some in the chocolate chips and only a little in the crust layer.

Chocolate Avocado Cupcakes

Chocolate Avocado Cupcakes. I was on Facebook the other day and I came upon this recipe.

I really liked the idea of using avocado in desserts. I have had success using it in my flourless brownie bites and my chocolate chip avocado cookies.

So I thought I would attempt cupcakes. The orginal recipe had way to much sugar and it was also not gluten free. I came up with a version that has less sugar, is oil free and is gluten free. It’s also vegan of course!

These cupcakes are super rich! You would never guess they were made healthier.
