halloween

I’ve searched the net, so you don’t have to, for spooky, cute, creepy and 100% vegan halloween treats. Creep out your guests with these yummy ideas from a few of my favourite food bloggers out there in the blogosphere.

Death By Chocolate by Hot For Food

A deathly delicious smoothie that feels sinful to eat… from Lauren Toyota over at Hot For Food. Her Youtube channel is packed with inspirational and funny vegan-ness.

Severed Hand Punch by Edgy Veg

Candice from Edgy Veg always comes up with crazy ideas. Her Youtube channel is full of awesomeness too. This is just creepy.

Vegan Milky Way by Minimalist Baker

Dana, over at the Minimalist Baker, is one of my fave vegan bloggers. Make this healthy version of your fave candy bar, and you won’t miss the mega-unhealthy version.

3-Ingredient Halloween Apple Bites by Oh She Glows

Angela at Oh She Glows is one of the first food bloggers I started to follow. She’s got a massive following now with her best-selling books and delish vegan recipes. These are easy and awesome for kids to do too!

Raw Vegan Witch Fingers by The Full Helping

A rendition of your usual witch fingers (because who doesn’t make witch fingers annually?), but pretty darn good for ya!

Graveyard Taco Cups by Fork and Beans

Zesty, Mexican theme-party must haves I’d say. Not dessert, but definitely needed for the halloween spread.

Raw Candy Pops by The Rawtarian

Raw with all the nutrients intact, and crazy simple with just a few ingredients!

Bloody Cups by Elephantastic Vegan

Like peanut butter cups but bloody. Just 3 ingredients too! We like simple.

Spooky Guacamole and Corn Chips by Raw.Vegan.Not Gross

Laura Miller is hilarious. And so is this vid. Hopefully it inspires you to dress up and make food.

Stuffed Jack-O-Lanterns by The Healthful Pursuit

Why leave carving to just pumpkins? Here’s a gutsy idea for a halloween-y dinner.

Dark Chocolate Coconut Ghosts by Feasting on Fruit

These are high-carb, low fat, and oh-so-spooky.

Raw Pumpkins by Girl Gone Raw

Raw, good for you, and delish.

Oh My Raw Caramel Apples by Rawesome Vegan Life

Emily is the queen of decadent vegan desserts, and I just had to add this one in here because, even though it’s not spooky… it screams Fall and sweetness… plus, I just had to feature Emily because a dessert post round-up without her would be criminal.

Dairy Free Pumpkin Cheesecake by To Die For

OK, again, I know this isn’t really halloween-themed, besides the pumpkin in there. But I had to include a dessert from Erin, because she is just amazing and she posts some of the most drooool-worthy recipes.

Vanilla Chia Seed Pudding by The Pure Life

One more fall-flavoured dessert, minus the halloween theme… Only because I want to give a shout out to Sisley! These flavours will taste like halloween, don’t you worry. You could even add some creepy eyeballs to a bowl of this on the treat table to do the trick.

I love seeing your recipes.

I can’t boolieve it’s Halloween already!

Time for a funky, trying to be scary…not so scary…super dense, delish muffin recipe. These Pumpkin Spice Jack-O-Lantern Muffins are a cute replacement or add-on to your carved up big one. Or, if you don’t want to carve up a big one this year, just make these little guys and enjoy that halloween pumpkin-y feeling, and eat it, too.

These turned out better than Jack himself could have hoped for.

Sweetened mostly with dates, and packed with pumpkin-y goodness makes them so dense and so flavourful!

Smush in some vegan butter and call it a good day! (Used ‘Melt’ vegan butter here OMG)

…Density. A must have in a good muffin.

Add in that activated charcoal and turmeric to the cashew icing mix and you can pretty much call them superfood muffs!

Grab some kids, or call out your inner child, along with the squeeze bottles to create some delicious art (that will hopefully turn out spookier than my attempt at scary).

And…. Happy Halloween!

Author: Jules

Recipe type: halloween, snack, dessert

Serves: 10

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:
2 cups oat flour (blend 2 cups oats into a fine flour in a food processor or blender)
½ cup coconut sugar
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
¾ cup chopped pecans
Wet Ingredients:
1 can pumpkin pie mix puree
2 chia eggs (2 tbsp chia soaked in 6 tbsp water for 5 minutes)
¾ cup medjool dates (about 6-8), soaked in warm water for 10 minutes
1 tsp vanilla extract
Icing:
1 cup cashews, pre-soaked for at least 3 hours (or over night for smoother icing)
2 tbsp maple syrup
½ cup vanilla almond milk
1½ tsp activated charcoal
1½ tsp turmeric

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 375°F.
Mix together dry ingredients.
In blender, mix together wet ingredients until smooth.
Then add the wet to the dry and until combined.
Spoon about a ¼ cup in each lined (with paper muffin cups or re-usable silicone ones) muffin tin.
Bake for 22 minutes.
Make the icing: In a small food processor, or blender, blend all pre-soaked cashews, almond milk and maple syrup until smooth (you will have to scape down the sides and leave it running for a few minutes).
Take out a ¼ of the cashew icing and set aside. Add the turmeric to the icing in the blender and blend until combined.
Spread this orange icing over the top of the muffins.
Then, add the white icing back into the blender with the activated charcoal. Blend until smooth.
Scoop this black icing into a squeeze bottle or a ziplock with a tiny hole cut in the corner, and create your jack-o-lantern art!

Notes

*Prep-time does not include the soaking of cashews
