Vegan Fall Baked Goods

Fall is the harbinger of so many wonderful things: football, apple picking, and cozy nights by the fire (just to name a few!) Although each season has its own unique charms, we love fall around here at Wildly Organic. Of course, up here in rural Minnesota, fall comes much sooner than it does in most other parts of the country. Perhaps it’s our early fall season that causes us to have such an affinity for this unique time of year.

One thing we love most about the fall is baking. Although pumpkin spice is the most prevalent flavor of the fall season—and we love our pumpkin spice lattes—there’s so many other wonderful fall flavors that we enjoy indulging in. Fall baked goods are so warm and comforting, which is why we absolutely love walnuts, pumpkin, and coconut bakes.

Wildly Organic has compiled three of our favorite recipes from over the years to give you a veritable cornucopia of fall flavors to indulge in. Enjoy these delicious tastes of the autumn season!

      For the truffle:
      1. In the top of a double boiler, melt the cacao butter.
      2. In a small bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, shredded coconut, melted cacao butter, and powdered sugar. Stir until completely combined.
      3. Place the bowl in the freezer and let sit 15 minutes to solidify slightly.
      4. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Remove the bowl from the freezer. Shape the mixture into small balls by rolling between the palms. Place these balls on the lined cookie sheet. Put back in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
      For the chocolate coating:
      1. In the top of a double boiler, melt the cacao butter. Remove from heat.
      2. Stir the honey (or syrup) and cacao powder into the melted cacao butter.
      Assemble the truffles:
      1. Using a spoon, roll the frozen pumpkin centers in the melted chocolate.
      2. Place the chocolate covered balls back on the parchment lined cookie sheet.
      3. When all the balls are covered in chocolate, place them back in the freezer for another 15 minutes.
      4. If necessary, reheat the remaining chocolate mixture over the double boiler so that it is liquified. Remove the truffles from the freezer and roll the truffles in the chocolate once more. Place the truffle back in the freezer.
      5. Keep the truffles in the freezer for up to 1 month or refrigerate for up to a week.
