Fall in Love with Seasonal Dessert Recipes

As autumn rolls in with its crisp air and vibrant colors, there’s nothing quite like the comforting scents of fall-inspired desserts filling your home. Sure, it might still be blazing hot outside and the leaves are holding onto their green, but that won’t stop us from diving into the comforting flavors of the season, like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.

Imagine the nutty perfume of toasted pecans, the inviting aroma of roasted pumpkin, and sweet fragrance of apples baking in the oven. Here at Almond Cow, we’re serving up all those beloved fall flavors (and smells!), and best of all, they’re 100% plant-based and absolutely delicious!

Whether you're ready to indulge now or waiting for the temps to drop, we’ve got the perfect desserts to help you embrace the fall vibes!

Apple Pie & Apple Pie Muffins

Fall is all about cozy flavors and inviting aromas, and these two plant-based apple recipes capture the season perfectly. Whether you're baking the classic Apple Pie or whipping up a trendy batch of Apple Pie Muffins, your kitchen will fill with the warm scent of cinnamon, nutmeg, and baked apples—fall’s most iconic combination. The traditional Apple Pie features a rich, spiced filling and a flaky crust that brings all the nostalgic flavors of autumn to life, while the Apple Pie Muffins offer a convenient, wholesome twist for on-the-go snacking. Both are perfect for embracing fall’s comforting flavors and smells, making them ideal additions to any autumn menu.

Pecan Pie Truffles

If you need a fall recipe that travels easily, these Pecan Pie Truffles are as convenient as they are delicious. Enjoy the decadent flavors of rich dark chocolate, lightly toasted pecans, and complex hints of sweetness from dates, maple syrup, and coconut sugar. Add a pinch of salt and bourbon or vanilla extract to give these dates a little kick.

You can even store them in the fridge for up to a week until serving, or store them in the freezer tightly covered for up to 2 months. They might build up some slight condensation after being refrigerated but they will still taste delicious!

Oatmeal Cream Pies

Craving a nostalgic treat with a plant-based twist? These Oatmeal Cream Pies are the answer. Savor the chewy, spiced oatmeal cookies paired with a smooth, sweet cream filling made from simple, wholesome ingredients like cashews, oats, and maple syrup. A touch of cinnamon and vanilla adds those cozy autumn flavors, while a pinch of sea salt brings it all together.

These pies store wonderfully in the fridge for up to a week, making them an easy snack to grab anytime. You can even freeze them for up to two months—just let them thaw before indulging in this irresistible treat!

Pumpkin Cookies

These Pumpkin Cookies are about as fall-forward as you can get. Made with cozy ingredients like pumpkin purée, oats, and coconut flour, they’re soft, flavorful, and oh so satisfying. And you don't have to feel guilty about reaching for seconds (or thirds!), these cookies are packed with nourishing plant-based ingredients that are far better for you than your average store-bought pumpkin treats.

Sweet Potato Chai Masala Oat Bars

Before you even have to ask—yes, these bars smell just as incredible as they taste. With a fragrant bouquet of warm spices and hearty ingredients, our Sweet Potato Chai Masala Oat Bars blend cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger for a cozy, spiced kick, while the oats, apples, and sweet potato offer a satisfying, wholesome base. Ample fiber will keep you full and satisfied, without the sugar crash that accompanies many sweet treats. Drizzle a bit of coconut whip on top and they'll look fancy enough for any dinner party or fall event!

Tiramisu

This plant-based Tiramisu is a decadent twist on the classic dessert, made with nourishing ingredients and just as indulgent. Featuring layers of almond pulp ladyfingers soaked in rich espresso and a velvety cashew cream filling, each bite delivers a balance of bold coffee flavor and creamy sweetness. For those who love the comforting smell of warm coffee in the fall, this dessert brings those cozy drink aromas to life, making it a perfect seasonal treat. Add a dusting of cocoa powder on top for the perfect finishing touch.

Whether you’re serving it as a showstopping dessert or simply indulging yourself, this Tiramisu is both elegant and wholesome. Plus, it can be stored in the fridge for up to a week, so you can enjoy it again and again!
