Fall is in the air which means pumpkin comes out to play. This is my first time ever making my own homemade pumpkin puree 🎃to bake with. It made a world of difference! These muffins are simple and healthy but decadent and delicious at the same time. Add in any nuts or extras goodies to the mix that you would like. I chose pepita seeds and chocolate chips, of course! This recipes makes 12 muffins and only takes 35 minutes to prep + bake. I love baking batches of desserts that I can share with my neighbors. It is the perfect recipe for a quick sweet treat or a holiday gift for a friend. Try out this recipe and tag me on instagram with you results!

This was my first year baking with fresh pumpkin puree. It made the biggest difference in my Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins. They were moist and had the perfect amount of pumpkin flavor. People think vegan baking can be difficult but I find it almost easier than baking with eggs and butter. If you combine the right ingredients you can make desserts just as flavorful as a dessert full of butter and dairy! This recipe makes around 4 cups of pumpkin puree so make sure you are ready to be baking multiple pumpkin treats!

This Japanese eggplant recipe is all about the delicious umami bite. The tenderness of this broiled eggplant is unforgettable! Eggplant is one of my favorite vegetables when cooked correctly, this recipe offers you the perfect instructions on how to cook it just right. Enjoy this recipe on a salad lunch, a side at dinner, or even as a snack. If you cant find the long Japanese eggplant, the glaze works on all variates of eggplant, even on other vegetables too!
