Healthy Pumpkin Cake made grain-free, refined sugar-free, dairy-free, and paleo friendly. This easy-to-bake pumpkin cake is warmly-spiced and healthy enough to eat for breakfast.

If I know you at all, I have a sneaking suspicion this is the exact cake you’ve been craving.

Okay, perhaps that was a massive projection, but this is the exact cake I have been craving not only recently, but for several autumns past.

Imagine this: all the colors and flavors of fall jam packed into one healthy pumpkin cake. It comes together lightning fast, and gifts your taste buds an utter explosion of pumpkin flavor.

Have I mentioned it’s healthy? 

Recipe Features:

  • Lower in sugar than a regular cake, but perfectly sweet.
  • Paleo
  • Grain-free, gluten-free
  • Oil-Free
  • Easy to make Vegan (see notes)
  • Refined sugar-free
  • Easy to make sugar-free/low-carb (see notes)
  • Moist, fluffy, delicious

My secret ingredient to keep the cake lower in added sugar?: Ripe banana. The cake is mostly sweetened with one ripe banana (I can’t taste it over the pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice, but if you have ultra sensitive taste buds, you may be able to).

2-Ingredient Vegan Orange Creamsicles made dairy-free and naturally sweetened! These amazingly orange-blasted creamy popsicles are absolutely delicious and so easy to make! Enjoy them as a healthy treat during the hot summer months!

Here it is! The easy healthy frozen dessert recipe you’ve been waiting for all summer that requires ZERO effort, no baking, and ALL THE FUN!!

Long story short, these orange creamsicles require a whopping two ingredients…are you ready for it, are you ready for it??

Ingredients for Orange Creamsicles:

Full-Fat Canned Coconut Milk: Keeps the creamsicle ultra creamy without the use of dairy! You can replace the full-fat canned coconut milk with coconut cream. You can get away with using light canned coconut milk for a version that’s lower in fat, but note that the creamsicles will be slightly icy. 

Orange Juice Concentrate: Gives the tangy, sweet orange flavor without adding icy texture to the creamsicle. If you aren’t familiar with orange juice concentrate, you can find it in the freezer section of your grocery store next to all the other concentrate frozen juices.

That. 

Is.

It.

Can you even believe it?

Ingredients for orange ice pops

If you’re familiar with classic orange creamsicles, you know that there is the orange exterior layer and the creamy interior layer. These do not have that – they are a monolayer approach. However, the good news is the net effect is the same – mega creaminess and zesty orange flavor.

Crunchy No-Bake Peanut Butter Cookies made with only 4 ingredients! This healthier no-bake cookie recipe is made with puffed rice for the most delectable crunch! Gluten-free, refined sugar-free, dairy-free, AND vegan, these treats are an amazing loveable treat by all!

Do you remember by 6-Ingredient No-Bake Cookies featuring oats, almond butter and cacao powder I posted a few weeks ago? Have you tried them yet??

Those cookies were such a hit that I wanted to revisit the no-bake cookie topic and take a different approach, using puffed rice for the ultimate crunch.

…and my complete adoration for crunchy puffed rice cereal had nothing to do with my decision to make these.

Okay, I fibbed. I’m obsessed. 

Sometimes I eat puffed rice for dinner with blueberries, pumpkin seeds, a scoop of nut butter and coconut milk. Coconut milk, people!  Like a straight-up teenager.

As I was saying…

Puffed rice cereal makes these no-bake peanut butter cookies nice and crunchy and addicting. You can consider them to be a healthier treat recipe, as they are refined sugar-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free – great for those with dietary restrictions and no dietary restrictions alike!

Also, have I mentioned they only require a whopping FOUR ingredients to fashion up? What a dream.
