Easy Pumpkin Cake Recipe With Cake Mix

Abeer from Cake Whiz knows her cakes. She has an impressive collection of cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and treats. In awe of her mastery of "cake-dom." I love how festive this cake is but totally attainable to someone that doesn't decorate cakes all day. I could see it like a good birthday cake for someone who has a birthday around Halloween. (i.e. Hubby).

I like that this recipe uses coconut sugar, coconut milk, and flax, three ingredients that are always in my kitchen. I also pinned a Pumpkin Pie Smoothie recipe, Grain-Free Pumpkin Spice Pancakes, and Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte from Hannah of Healy Eats Real on my Pumpkin Everything board.
16
Grain Free Buñuelos de Calabaza (Grain Free Pumpkin Fritters)
I like this one because it is different, I do not see pumpkin fritters often in my online travels and now I have. I love the idea! Tracy has some other lovely pumpkin recipes such as a Spiced Pumpkin Yogurt Parfait and Grain-Free Pumpkin Spice Biscotti which I have pinned as well.

I am a fan of vegan recipes, most that I come across always taste so good. This picture is a pumpkin tease, showing just the edge of the pumpkin, the leaf gives a feel for cooler weather with knitted sweaters and polar fleece...give me a slice with a cup of strong coffee!

Do these look scrumptious? Um, YES! And only 2 ingredients? Alright! I love the use of natural parchment paper as well. Olivia from Liv for Cake has some stellar recipes on her fantastic blog.

I have those same white ramekins! When I saw this recipe, I thought, this would be perfect for my hubby, Eric, he's into fitness and is aware of this carb intake, I, on the other hand, am not worried about carbs, bring them on! Denise from My Life Cookbook also has a great Protein Ice Cream (also low carb), which I pinned to my Pumpkin Everything board.

Diane, Dave, and Kaytie from Homemade Food Junkie don't mess around. They have many, many delicious recipes on their fabulous blog. This one I am definitely making. I have always wanted to make a sweet potato pie, why not one with pumpkin while I am at it?

Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream. YES! And when I read that it DOES NOT require an ice cream machine and only takes 5 minutes to prepare, I almost got up from my desk and RAN to the kitchen to make this! But alas, I will put it off until after because I am not going to deny anyone more delicious pumpkin recipes, oh no, let's keep going!

This bread...THIS Bread, whoa, looks SO delicious! I love bread with oatmeal in it (see Oatmeal Cherry Quick Bread, No-Knead Oatmeal Bread) and oatmeal just in general (see Oatmeal Raisin Cranberry Cookies) so when I saw this oatmeal quick bread with pumpkin, I was like, Regina, you are a blogger after my own.

Pumpkin Cheesecake

I read through this recipe and it is the real deal. All the details are worked out the ginger snap crust, what? Now, that's something different! And seriously, tasty! Love those spice combinations. I also love the swirly, marbled effect, very elegant. I may be making this one for Thanksgiving, let's re-phrase that, I may be making one for myself and an additional one for Thanksgiving. Yes, much more accurate.

Pumpkin Pie Parfait

I love this parfait because it is so healthy but I know from the ingredients (bananas, dates...yum!) that it is SWEET for those of us that need our sweet fix, and need it NOW.

veggiedesserts.com
I can see these tarts being served for entertaining, they are such cute bites of pumpkin goodness...It's like cute baby pumpkin pies! I like that they are vegan too, yes it is possible to be healthy and indulge at the same time - totally possible!
