Try this simple and sweet beet applesauce. Enjoy as a snack, drizzle on pancakes for breakfast, or use on desserts for a yummy treat. This sauce makes a great topping or filling for Halloween recipes.
Halloween Apple Jack O’Lanterns
Adorable and easy to prepare, these peanut butter apple lanterns make a delicious breakfast, snack, or appetizer for Halloween.
Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Muffin Cups
These fragrant, moist pumpkin muffins are perfect for cooler autumn mornings. Amazingly, they are gluten-free, sweetened only with fruit, and they don’t have a single drop of sugar or oil.
Frankenstein Fun Avocado Toast
Halloween festivities traditionally begin as the sun goes down, but monster-mashing some avocado for this fun and easy breakfast treat will definitely get you in the mood. Best of all, the filling combination of whole grain carbs and healthy fat will give you plenty of fuel for a spooktacular day of work/school costume contests, treat-making, and decorating!
Almond Butter and Blueberry Sweet Potato Toast
This is a craveable, nutrient-dense breakfast. Sweet potatoes contain vitamins B6, C, and D and are full of potassium, magnesium, and carotenoids (which boost immunity to disease). This powerhouse meal hits an even higher nutritional level when topped with blueberries and almond butter.
This is a simple and filling snack that’s easy to eat on the go but also perfect as a party appetizer.
Who doesn’t love avocado toast? I like this savory and slightly spicy version because it’s filled with a range of textures thanks to creamy avocado, crispy toast, and crunchy pumpkin seeds.
Easy Pumpkin Spice Raw Energy Bars
These plant-based granola bars are packed with whole ingredients like pecans, pumpkin seeds, and dates. There’s no refined grain, sugar, or syrup. They make a great snack and are gluten and oil free.
These easy baked oatmeal cups are great for breakfast, snacks, or even dessert. They are kid friendly and perfect for a meal on the go. You can even make them ahead and freeze them.
Granola can be eaten for breakfast or as a snack. As commercial varieties are loaded with sugar and oil, I created my own version that is guilt-free and delicious.
When you need some energy during the day, here is a great nutritious snack to pick you up quickly. Great for both adults and children.
3 Ingredient Late-Night Granola
This is “Late-Night Granola” for two reasons: one of our nightly routines as we wind down for bedtime is sharing a bowl of this granola, topped with fruit and almond milk. Secondly, I often make this granola at night, or when it can have some “sitting time” after baking to get nice and crunchy.
Rainbow Chard & Tofu Vegan Muffins
These vegan muffins pack a powerful nutritional punch unlike traditional muffins, which are often full of butter, sugar, and saturated fats. They make a great breakfast, and are the perfect size for a light lunch or mid afternoon snack.
There will be no plain rice cakes or boring snacks on my watch. Crunchy rice cakes are topped with sliced avocado and a few generous spoonfuls of Spicy Tomato Jam. A light sprinkle of salt (optional) and pepper finishes off this simple yet immensely satisfying snack.
Maple and Curry Roasted Walnuts
These nuts are perfect as an appetizer or chop them and serve on a salad.
Butternut Squash Muffins for Halloween
The grated, fresh butternut squash vs. a puree allows you to taste its deliciousness much more intensely.
These mango coconut balls are a plant-based treat that will melt in your mouth. This dessert has no added sugar plus they are oil-free.
Oil-Free Buckwheat Crackers With Sunflower Seeds
Enjoy these oil-free and flourless buckwheat crackers.
Heart-Shaped Oat & Banana Cookies
My plant-based, oil-free, sugar-free and even gluten-free (if you use gluten-free oats) heart-shaped cookies are so simple and delicious. No need to go to a store for a treat or gift when you can so easily make them at home.
My favorite combination is half pecans, half cashews. You might try almonds or walnuts, too. Just remember to use raw nuts, rather than roasted, to prevent over-toasting.
This recipe makes just about one quart, but I sometimes prepare a double batch just to share with friends, poured into little Mason jars and tied with ribbons.
These guilt-free snacks are full of flavor and satisfying. They take some time to bake but require almost no labor. These are great for a mid-afternoon snack.
