Food { Vegan Pumpkin & Apple Cake }

After going fully vegan for three weeks this summer, I’ve been more inclined to try vegan recipes. I’ve been particularly intrigued with vegan baking because butter, eggs and milk are such staples and I’ve wondered how different the taste would be.

I decided to try this vegan pumpkin apple muffin recipe, and was pleasantly surprised with the results! (N.B. I couldn’t find my muffin pan so I used a square 9’’X 9’’ pan and it cooked through perfectly) I couldn’t taste the difference that I did not use any butter or eggs in the recipe! Although I would have liked a stronger pumpkin flavor, and the cake was extremely moist, I am going to try more vegan baking because it’s fun to explore alternatives.

Although I am not a nutritionist by any stretch of the imagination, I want to learn more about nutrition because what we put in our bodies has a big impact on our lives. When I eat healthy, I notice a significant difference on my energy levels and how I feel. Based on those simple observations, I want to learn more about how to ensure that I have a balanced nutrition so that I’m sure that I’m feeding my body what it needs to be healthy.

Do you have any recommendations for any vegan recipes or resources? Or even resources to learn about nutrition? Make sure to share your thoughts in the comments below, I LOVE hearing from you guys!
