1. Super Easy 2-Ingredient Pumpkin Muffins

These muffins are not from scratch by any means, but they are easy, convenient, and delicious! I made these last year, and they just tasted like Fall in a muffin! And the best part is, you only need two ingredients! The taste and convenience of these makes them one of my favorite vegan Fall/Winter desserts.

2. Candy Cane Cookies

OMG! Y’all, I cannot describe to you how delicious these cookies are! I have been making them at Christmas time for the past three years, and every year, they give me exactly what I need! These cookies are soft, chocolate-y, minty, and easy to make. Out of all of the recipes in this post, this one is definitely my favorite vegan Fall/Winter dessert. And if you leave off the candy cane pieces, you have a delicious chocolate cookie for any season!

3. Gingerbread Cut-Out Cookies

C’mon…you can’t have Christmas without cute little gingerbread men! My family makes these cookies every year, and they are not only delicious, but they are a fun, creative Christmas tradition. We spend hours making and decorating these cookies. The recipe is simple and tasty, and all of the ingredients are easy to find. I definitely recommend these tasty, adorable spice cookies!

4. Soft Cut-Out Sugar Cookies

Although the picture shows Christmas cookies, last year, my family made these with Halloween cookie cutters…and these were the BEST SUGAR COOKIES I’VE EVER EATEN! Do you hear me? Vegan or otherwise, these are my favorite sugar cookies OF ALL TIME! They are perfect for cut-outs; none of the cookies broke, and they are still soft and sweet after baking. This recipe is perfect for holiday traditions or any time of year! These are for sure one of my favorite vegan Fall/Winter desserts!

5. Apple Crisp

Apple Crisp is one of my favorite Fall desserts! It’s sweet, spicy, warm, and filling. (And it goes great with a scoop of French vanilla ice cream) This recipe is simple and easy to make, and it really captures all the Fall vibes. As a matter of fact, I think I’ll make some this weekend!

6. Depression-Era Chocolate Cake

This cake may have a strange name, but it is moist, chocolate-y, and delicious! The ingredients are so basic, you probably have all of them in your pantry right now! I included this cake in the vegan Fall/Winter desserts because I make it every Christmas. It’s so easy to make, and everyone loves chocolate cake, so it’s perfect for family dinners! And no one would even know that it doesn’t have milk, butter, or eggs! I LOVE this cake recipe, and it is now the only chocolate cake recipe I use! 10/10! (Tip: the recipe recommends adding coffee to make the chocolate flavor stand out, and it definitely works)

7. Apple Pie

I definitely can’t have Thanksgiving without Apple Pie! And honestly, it took me a while to find a good vegan apple pie recipe, but this one is it! All of the ingredients are simple and easy to find, and it has the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. This particular recipe includes ingredients for making crust, but I usually buy pre-made crust (I know, I’m that lazy), so I can’t comment on whether or not the crust is good. But, the filling is delicious, so that’s why this recipe is one of my favorite vegan Fall/Winter desserts!

8. Candy Cane Brownies

I promise this is the last chocolate recipe! But I just love the combination of chocolate and peppermint! These brownies are moist, but the edges are still firm, which means they are perfect! I definitely recommend these brownies, and maybe you can switch it up and leave these for Santa (with a glass of almond milk of course)!

9. Pumpkin Spice Sugar Cookies

I made these cookies for the first time last Fall, and they were so delicious! If you’re not a fan of pumpkin, you will still enjoy these (as I learned from my sister who is not a fan of pumpkin). These cookies have the perfect amount of sweetness, but they also pack a little bit of that Fall spice we all love. They are a great Fall treat for the whole family.

10. Sweet Potato Pie

Sweet potato pie is pumpkin pie’s better tasting cousin! If you’ve never tried it before, what are you waiting for? It’s sweet, creamy, and has holiday spice. As it is an African tradition started by slaves, it is a staple at all of my family’s Thanksgivings, and it has been my favorite Fall dessert for as long as I can remember. I did not find a recipe online for this one, so I am sharing my family’s recipe with you today. If you make it, please leave a comment telling me how you liked it!
