I’m sure by now you guys have picked up on the fact that I adore the fall season. I love the crisp morning air and cooler weather. Fall fashion is the best, and once again I get to bring out my fall/winter coats (more than slightly obsessed with coats over here). But maybe what I love most of all is the food. The shorter, colder days usually find us spending more time at home with friends and family. And what better way to spend our time than baking delicious desserts flavored with brown sugar, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg,

So here is the roundup of my favorite vegan fall dessert recipes. Not only are they delicious, but they’re perfect for holiday get-togethers. Or a girl’s night of baking treats and watching movies.

The Best Vegan Fall Desserts

Apple Crisp

Out of all the vegan desserts on this list and that the season has to offer, apple crisp is undoubtedly my favorite. Whether you prefer apple pie, apple crisp, or crumble, there’s one thing that’s for certain. The cinnamon apple aroma coming from a hot oven will make anyone’s mouth water. Topped with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream, it’s my favorite dessert any time of year.

Pumpkin Pie

Is it even fall without pumpkin pie? When I made the switch to a vegan diet, it took me some time to find the perfect vegan pumpkin pie recipe. I don’t always like following recipes, but when it came to this pie, my search was over. To make things even easier for myself and save some time, I buy premade gluten-free, vegan pie crusts. then all I need to do is make the filling and pop them in the oven.

Chocolate Pudding

Carrot Cake

Growing up my mother only had one cake recipe. No matter the occasion, carrot cake was what we celebrated with. Nowadays the scent of warm spices and brown sugar brings back childhood memories of sitting by the oven waiting for the timer to go off. I’m also keeping the tradition alive by baking this gluten-free vegan carrot cake with my own kids.

Gingersnap Cookies

Unlike most cookies which are soft and sometimes gooey, gingersnaps are supposed to have some crunch and snap to them. Filled with flavors of molasses, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves, these cookies are a delicious treat on their own or dipped in your milk or hot latte.

Cinnamon Rolls

As a child, every Friday was cinnamon roll day. All the kids lined up waiting for a fresh batch of big, warm, fluffy rolls to come out of the oven. We then sat in a circle, enjoyed every last bite and licked or fingers clean. Now as an adult whenever I have a craving for a treat, I can whip up my own batch. These cinnamon rolls are filled with cinnamon sugar and covered in a sweet vanilla glaze. Enjoy them for a snack, or have one for breakfast. Or lunch, or dinner. They’re so good you’ll want them all the time!

Pumpkin Spice Latte

Pumpkin spice lattes are without a doubt the drink of the season. And this list wouldn’t be complete without a dairy-free version that you can easily make at home. You can impress your friends with this pumpkin spiced sweet treat, or just make it for yourself and save time and money by nixing the Starbucks trips.

I know with the holidays this time of year gets busy and sometimes stressful. So I hope this round-up of vegan desserts is helpful and makes life a little easier for you this fall.
