Pumpkin pie spice cake with a coconut pumpkin frosting (EN/ RO)

I made something with pumpkin again... What's new, am I right? You all know that I love pumpkin by now... And that I like to make things that are different. 

A few weeks ago I asked my YouTube family what they want to see this month. And most people said that they want recipes for holidays, hence the latest recipes. And I think that this one is also fit for your holiday table. 

This cake is light and fluffy, full of flavor and warming spices. And the creamy pumpkin and coconut frosting is so light and yummy and and fits perfectly with the spices that I use! 

I also love that if you know how to use a piping bag (aka, you're not terrible at it, like I am) you can make it look amazing, to fit the taste!

Ingredients (makes a 24 cm or 10 inch cake): 

Pumpkin and beans vegan "meatballs" (EN/ RO)

Another pumpkin recipe on this blog? Yes! Why? Because I like pumpkin... and I can find it in all the stores right now, so it's the perfect excuse to make more pumpkin recipes. 

And not only sweet recipes, as you already saw :) 

Actually, this recipe came to be more like an accident or a joke in the beginning. But the more I thought about it, the more I liked the idea. I tried it one day and guess what? I liked it! 

The pumpkin keeps the meatballs moist while bringing a bit of sweetness, the tahini brings some healthy fats and a nice depth of flavor. And all the spices complement each other and make these "meatballs" delicious. And you can serve them for your holiday meal too! With some mashed potatoes and your favorite gravy... Yummy! 

You can also make a "meatball" sandwich with all the fixings too! 

I think that now it's time to go to the recipe, so you can make it at home too!

Ingredients:

Pumpkin chickpea pancakes

Because the fall means pumpkin for me (you already know this if you saw my last post) I love cooking and experimenting with pumpkin.
I also love chickpea flour. And for a high protein, oil free and healthy breakfast I made these pancakes one day when I had some freshly made pumpkin puree and a need for something different :)
They are fluffy, really tasty and perfect for fall due to the pumpkin and the warming spices :)

Let's go to the recipe now!

Ingredients (2 servings):

Fluffy pumpkin bread (EN/ RO)

It's the pumpkin season!
Ok, this season comes with some annoying things too, like cold weather, rain, end of summer... But guys, PUMPKIN! and apples, and baking!
Here is already pretty cold, but now I have an excuse to use my oven and bake some things :)
Like pumpkin bread!
This version is fluffy but still moist, oil free and refined sugar free.
I used peanut butter as my fat and unrefined brown sugar as sweetener.
It's perfect for breakfast, desert or as a snack, with some nut or seed butter... Yum!
Let's see how this delicious bread is made!
