Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Your tastebuds will love this delicious fall treat!

Nothing better than enjoying a rich, chewy and soft cookie with a delicious pumpkin filling that crumbles in your mouth. Every bite is so warming especially when paired with a hot cup of tea or coffee, during the Fall crispy winds.

Cookie details.

These cookies are very easy to make and only require natural ingredients. I’ve made these cookies to be allergy friendly and cater to various common dietary restrictions.

Make this simple, easy to make pumpkin chocolate chip cookies that will leave you feeling great without any guilt.

This recipe is

  • gluten-free
  • dairy free
  • wheat-free
  • oat-free
  • egg-free
  • peanut-free
  • seed-free
  • refined-sugar free

These cookies are simply nutritious and are totally vegan. These cookies are paleo and keto approved!

What more can I say?! And to add again, they are just simply delicious like the best cookie you ever had.

Tips to look out for when shopping.

Some key ingredients when grocery shopping to look out for…

  • Chocolate chips: I dont think I have met one person who doesn’t love chocolate. Today, you can find various types of chocolates to cater to so many individual tastes. From white, milk, dark, to extra dark and sweet, semi sweet, to unsweetened. The choices are endless. I’ve always love my chocolate dark with only few ingredients. I love 99% or even 100% dark chocolate. The darker a chocolate is usually doesn’t contain any milk ingredients. This is key to look out for. For those who don’t want such dark chocolate, don’t worry. I love the brand Enjoy Life that makes chocolate chips and chocolate chunks without any dairy. To add they meet every dietary restriction out there two and only have 3-4 ingredients! Defiantly, check Enjoy Life Brand out.
  • Coconut Flakes: Coconut flakes are getting the health and wellness trend. I’ve been loving pretty much anything coconut for a while now. Things to watch out while shopping for coconut shavings and/or flakes is the ingredients. Majority of the coconut flakes you purchase in large grocery stores may not always be so healthy. I mean take a look at a regular packaging, a) filled with sugar, sometimes glucose or corn syrup, b) contains sodium metabisulfite, a food preservative that the Food and Drug Administration has improved, however may cause reactions to people without them knowing. Please do more research as this ingredient is very common to be used in dried foods. c) sulphites, this can occur in some foods naturally but it can be added as a man made compound to foods to help preserve their shelf life. This ingredients isn’t terrible but if you can avoid it, then please do. If you live in Canada, Bulk Barn had pure coconut flakes without added sweetness, sulphites and absolutely no perservatives. Some brands I enjoy using is Bobs Red Mill and Everland.Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
  • Pumpkin Puree: Pumpkin purees are to be found everywhere during the Autumn season. When buying your pumpkin puree, make sure it is 100% pumpkin and simply no other added ingredients. You always want the puree without any added other ingredients because they add way too much processed stuff. Keep it simple. I know Ed Smith’s Pumpkin Puree is amazing and without added any ingredients. There are also some organic brands that are good too.
  • Coconut Milk/Cream: When you buy your coconut milk and/or cream, look at the ingredients first. They should only contain coconut with a percentage and water. No preservatives, colours and/or stabilizers. Check the international aisle of your grocery store. They will have it for sure. You always want full fat, no lite or reduced because they tend to add excess ingredients to these. When you buy the coconut can, place it into the fridge for about a few hours. When you open the can use the cream (hard/thick stuff) into this recipe. You can also make whip cream out of this one solid ingredient. Make sure you get the full fat. Remember, not all FAT is created equally.

 

Experience your story twice.

Make these cookies with the family or your friends to experience how much joy, making cookies bring you. I’ve made these with my sister and haven’t seen her enjoy a cookie for a while. When you make your own creations, you almost feel obligated to enjoy every bite. Every bite you take of your baked good usually puts a smile on ones face as you know you made the effort to make that treat, instead of walking up to your local cafe and buying a treat without any story behind it. For me food is a way to experience my story twice. When making/baking/cooking a treat and when I eat it. Next time you make something…. pay attention to this detail.

Every Saturday morning, Josh and I try and make it out to a new (or super cute) cafe for a morning kickstart to our day. Not only do we enjoy the feeling of sipping down an Almond Milk Flat White, ☕️ but this is also something that makes us extremely happy and fulfilled. ✨We both live extremely busy lives, so it’s important to remember to pause and live in the moment, without any external distractions or thoughts. Especially with the busy holiday season coming up, please take some time to slow down, take a break, and be present.🥰
However after our morning coffee, we have a full day of work and running around. So to keep us fuelled during these busy days, I’m so happy to have partnered with @middaysquares to keep you all fuelled and focused. Be sure to check out my insta stories today for even more info on my FAVOURITE mid-day snack ever. 🍫

Don’t miss out on all the Superfood Fun this weekend, I challenge you to find a @middaysquares near you ❤️ What’s your favourite way to spend a Saturday?

Happy Monday! ✨
I bet you all have heard of collagen being one of the biggest trends in the health and beauty industry right now but do you know what it actually does? Collagen is a special protein that our body uses for elasticity and firmness! Ever wonder what all those anti-aging creams are filled with? That’s right, collagen! Anyways, if you want to keep your skin, bones, muscles, blood vessels, teeth, tendons and ligaments looking and feeling their best, then you need to be adding more collagen into your diet. A super easy way that I’ve found to do this is with @livlongcanada Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C packets🧡. Their powerful combination of Vitamin C and collagen will ensure that you’re getting the most impactful effects of a positive immune system! Start your day with one ☝️🍊🌞 Thank you to @vistaMagCanada for adding these into my daily routine! 
Have a beautiful start to the week beautifuls 🌸

Happy Friday! 
Who’s up for some healthy sweets + coffee ☕️ w/ @sweetharkitchen ?!
Last week, I stopped by @sweethartkitchen to pick up some Fall treats that got me into the Autumn mood. Their pumpkin spice donut stole my heart 🍂 🍩 
__________________________________

If you know me, I don’t usually go for processed desserts. I grew up in a household where desserts were always homemade and always made from less then 10 whole natural ingredients. Today, we walk down aisles at grocery stores to buy cake mixes in a box that are made out of non-pronounceable ingredients and you can only find goodies at the bakery section that last weeks in their current state without spoiling. This makes me question so many things. 
That’s when I alert myself and ask, do I want to put this into my body? My body is my home and should be treated with respect. 
Finding healthy treats can be a little difficult but it will benefit you later. You will feel fuelled instead of a sugar rush. Eating healthy doesn’t have to be hard at all. And so many people complain and blind themselves from options. ✖️Finding @sweethartkitchen that offers healthy treats that are gluten-free and vegan make it 100x easier and better! 
I challenge you this weekend to treat yourself with of course a “healthy” dessert 🧁. Wishing you all a very happy Friday and weekend! 
Love you all, ❤️

Fall is my favourite time of year for outdoor activities 🍂 While summer is super fun and lively, it can get a bit sweaty and overwhelming at times. ☀️ Especially up here in Canada, the nature around us transforms into a palette explosion of colour. 
You can visit a pumpkin patch, go for hikes in the forest, bake the most incredible recipes, and of course decorate the house with cute little gourds. 🎃 
I’m curious, what’s your favourite season? I’m not a fan of the cold, but I can’t help but love the pretty fall vibes🍁

Love you all,
xox 😘
