Soft-Baked Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies are a healthier, fall-inspired twist to the classic cookie! Paleo & Vegan friendly!

I’ve been dreaming to make these pumpkin chocolate chip cookies for a good while now. I mean, how can you go wrong with anything pumpkin and chocolate? The only thing that was holding me back from making them was the fact they are almost too simple to be a recipe.

You take pumpkin, which is a basic fall flavor, and add it to chocolate chip cookies, which is a basic cookie flavor.

I was afraid that they were going to be too basic and not good enough to post on the blog. But THANK GOD, I was completely wrong. These cookies are anything but basic.

They have the most perfect texture a cookie can have (in my opinion). I am personally not a crunchy cookie person, as I’d rather eat a soft-baked cookie. These cookies are soft, moist, and fluffy, aka perfection.

They are the perfect kinda cookies for dunking if you’re into that. If you’re feeling extra basic, you can dunk them in your PSL 😉

Here are the 7 ingredients you’ll need to make this recipe

almond flour

almond butter or other nut butter of choice

canned pumpkin puree

an egg (or flax egg)

pure maple syrup or another liquid sweetener of choice

baking soda

mini dark chocolate chips or regular-sized chocolate chips

In need of a nourishing sweet treat? These S’mores Oatmeal Bars fit the bill! They taste like the classic campfire delicacy! Gluten-free, dairy-free w/ a vegan-option.

We are back with s’more tasty recipes (pun intended ). I’ve been dreaming of making a gooey s’mores bar style recipe for a couple months now, and finally decided to create it! Let me tell you, these are a winner.

The crust is made with oats plus graham crackers to make it dense, chewy and sweet. I could have used another flour for this part, but I was out and oat flour seemed to fit the bill here.

Next is the chocolate- marshmallow layer. AKA the ooey gooey goodness layer. I used dark chocolate chips and mini mallows here, but you could easily use chopped chocolate and cut up large mallows.

And finally the cherry on top is the the graham-oat crumb topping. Just mix some crushed graham crackers, oats, maple syrup and coconut oil and spoon on top.

And then you bake it and impatiently wait until it is cool enough to eat!

Here is what you need to make this recipe:

oats

graham crackers

applesauce

egg (or flax egg)

maple syrup

mini marshmallows

dark chocolate chips

crumb topping

Satisfy your dessert cravings with this Paleo Flourless Chocolate Chip Zucchini Cake with Dark Chocolate Frosting. You won’t believe that it’s flour-less and made with only 7 ingredients! Also with a vegan option!

I don’t think Rachel and I will ever get out of this flourless baking phase haha. We can’t stop (and won’t stop) creating recipes like this because they are just so dang good!

I honestly think we have more flourless recipes than flour-full.

Just when you thought we ran out of recipes ideas for a flourless cake, we proved you wrong. We have never created a zucchini cake, only zucchini fudge brownies (which are bomb, by the way).This cake is essentially the exact same recipes as the brownies, sans the dark cocoa powder and fudge glaze!

If you love chocolate chip zucchini bread, I am almost certain that you will love this cake recipe! Plus, I added a layer of this incredible fudge frosting, curtesy of the Texanerin!

It’s so incredibly easy to make too! Only 7 ingredients (or 8 if you count the frosting) stand between you and this cake! Here is what you need:

almond/cashew butter

zucchini

maple syrup

egg or flax egg

vanilla

baking soda

mini dark chocolate chips

dark chocolate fudge frosting

Take the classic pie combo to the next level with this Strawberry Rhubarb Coffee Cake! Made with coconut flour and a few other simple ingredients, it’s the perfect nourishing summer dessert!

Coming in hot with another dessert recipe today! No this is not a brownie, nor a blondie (we’ve been blowing up the blog with those lol) but a cake recipe because it was time for a change. And nope, it’s not a flourless recipe because I had coconut flour that needed to be used up so here we are.

This recipe was influenced by my dad’s favorite pie and the greatest pie flavor (in my opinion)of all……STRAWBERRY RHUBARB PIE! Does anyone know what rhubarb is good for besides pie? I honestly have no clue, but what I do know that it is a critical part of this pie!

For this coconut flour cake, I based it off of one of my Lemon Cranberry Cake recipe. If you are scared to bake with coconut flour, don’t be! It’s different from other flours (please don’t sub coconut flour one for one with another flour it will be a disaster lol) because it’s highly absorbent. That is why I added 3 eggs and a cup of Pacific Food‘s Cashew Vanilla Unsweetened Non-Dairy Beverage!

We have partnered with Pacific Foods for this recipe + recipe video becuase we share similar values when it comes to foods. Pacific Foods is all about nourishment, and so are we! The foods you are consuming should taste good and nourish your body at the same time<<<<<life motto right there.

This strawberry rhubarb coffee cake is so good that you’ll want it for breakfast, snack and dessert alike! It’s not hard to make either! Here is a video to showcase how easily you can make it:

Not too complicated right?? Now go ahead and make it!

These Flourless Turtle Brownies will be your next go-to brownie recipe! Super simple to make plus gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, paleo with a vegan option!

To be honest guys, this recipe has been sitting in my drafts for almost three years. I’ve always wanted to post this recipe because its uh-maz-ing but the pictures didn’t do these brownies any justice.

So I remade them a few years later, and bam they are still turtely (pun intended) amazing as I remembered. The turtle combo of chocolate, pecans, and caramel really is a match made in heaven.

These brownies are rich and chocolately, just how brownies should be. And of course I wouldn’t be part of Athletic Avocado if I didn’t make them flourless💁

Pecan butter stands as the base to these beauties so no flour is necessary. Dark cocoa powder gives these brownies the mouth-watering intense chocolate flavor, and the caramel drizzle is the cherry on top!

I used store-bought caramel sauce to save some time, but you can also make your own healthier version instead (I made date caramel the first time I made these brownies.

So here is what you need to make these brownies:

pecan butter (homemade or store-bought)

dark cocoa powder

maple syrup

egg (or flax egg)

coconut oil

vanilla

baking soda

caramel sauce

chopped pecans

chocolate drizzle
