    Raw Pumpkin Cupcakes and Sprout Living GIVEAWAY!

    Raw Vegan Pumpkin Cupcakes

    Good morning, my loves.

    I’m writing to you with hot coffee and lemon water by my side, cloudy skies outside with the sounds of drizzling rain. Rain is especially therapeutic while writing in the morning, there’s just somethin’ about it 🙂

    Hope you had a fun Labor Day weekend! I stayed in the city (Chicago, for those who don’t know) with my friend Jenessa and we had the best time. The city was ALIVE and HOT – we walked around Lakeview, drinking green smoothies and soy latte’s, looking in all the cute shops. We took our dogs on lots of walks too, then went back to her place, popped some pink champagne while getting ready with Taylor Swift blasting in the background (total girl’s moment) and went out to the bars at night with other friends from Purdue. It was some much needed girl time and makes me realize how much I’ve missed my friends and living in the city.

    The high energy, the busy bustle of people, the closeness of everything and the beach just steps away – it definitely beats the burbs. Any day. 

    I plan to write a life update post tomorrow so stay tuned for that… but today I have a super delish Raw Pumpkin Cupcakes recipe as well as a fun GIVEAWAY! My first giveaway here on the blog – and it’s a GREAT ONE, I promise! More on the giveaway below, which includes 7 yummy items from Sprout Living!!!

    Back to these cute little raw cupcakes. I just love them. Smoothies with protein powder are great and all, but I like to get creative and use protein powder in new ways – other than in your typical smoothie.

    These heavenly bites include real organic pumpkin pur?e, pumpkin seed protein powder(!), gluten free oats, medjool dates, pumpkin pie spice, coconut cream and maple syrup. They’re PERFECT for fall.

    Super simple.
    Whole food ingredients.
    Packed with plant protein.
    Light and sweet treat or a healthy snack.
    PUMPKIN!

    Raw Pumpkin Cupcakes

    • Prep Time: 20
    • Total Time: 40
    Print Recipe
    Pin Recipe

    Ingredients

    Scale

    Cupcake Crust

    • 1 1/4 cups of gluten-free organic rolled oats (or oat flour)
    • 2 tablespoons of the Sprout Living Pumpkin Seed protein powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
    • 1 cup soaked medjool dates
    • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or any sticky sweetener like agave)

    Cupcake Filling

    • 1 cup pumpkin purée
    • 1/4 cup coconut cream
    • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or any sticky sweetener like agave)

    Optional toppings

    • raw pumpkin seeds
    • cacao nibs
    • vegan chocolate chips

    Instructions

    1. Soak the medjool dates in warm/hot water for about 10 minutes to soften.
    2. In a food processor, blend the oats until they become a fine flour (unless you already have oat flour on hand, then use that). Add the protein powder and pumpkin pie spice and pulse until well combined. Add in the soaked dates and maple syrup. Blend until the mixture becomes sticky and well combined.
    3. Line a cupcake pan with plastic wrap. Scoop about 2 tablespoons into the cupcake molds (makes about 6) and press down, leaving a small indent in the middle for the cupcake filling.
    4. Transfer to the freezer to firm up for 15 minutes.
    5. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the pumpkin, coconut cream and maple syrup. After the cupcake crust has firmed up, scoop the filling mixture into the cupcake molds and top with the optional toppings.
    6. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer.
    7. Enjoy!

      You’re recipes look wonderful. I can’t wait to try these cupcakes. So perfect for the cooler weather and pumpkin season. I just purchased a few cans of organic pumpkin puree yesterday. I love to use Sprout Living Epic Protein. Hope that I get to try this one.

      I love pumpkin and pumpkin seeds, and make little treats like that all the time! I have pumpkin seed butter but not the protein so this is awesome!

Before I started my business, I wasn’t sure what direction my life was headed. I was lost for an entire year prior, completely engulfed in motherhood which was fine because I wanted motherhood to take over. I wanted to lose myself in my baby and felt lucky to be able to do that. But then at one point, I wanted to get back to “me” too. I wanted to feel like myself again. I wanted MORE. 

If you’re looking for more income, more community, more flexibility, more confidence, more friendships, more guidance, more support, more financial freedom, more passion in your life… this business can be the vehicle. 

I joined the BEST community of women who have encouraged me every step of the way and led me down the right path. It’s not intimidating at all because everyone wants you to succeed.

    FOR MY OILY GIRLS 🦄 These 3 tips have really FOR MY OILY GIRLS 🦄 

These 3 tips have really helped me combat the annoying oil to the point where now, I only have to wash twice a week. I’m sure you guys already know that washing LESS helps the scalp to stop overproducing so much oil. So washing less is the goal ⚡️ and I can help you get to this point because I know it’s scary/hard to do. But we also have to remember that oil after a couple days is completely normal, so there is a balance here.

Obviously these tips along with the right shampoo and conditioner for YOU is KEY. If you’d like a free custom consult you can DM me HAIR or take my Hair Quiz linked in my bio 🩷🙂🦄⚡️💅🏻👑🔥💛

    Have you checked the ingredients in your skin & ha Have you checked the ingredients in your skin & hair products lately? Your dry shampoo? 

The USA bans only 50 ingredients from cosmetics, 500 in Canada and 1300 in Europe! 😱😱 Did you know my products go be European standards? 

With the chemicals and environmental pollutants etc that we are exposed to daily that we can’t control, we can choose wisely the products we use and slather on our bodies/heads. Your skin absorbs EVERYTHING you put on it, your skin is your largest organ.

I’m sure you heard about the recall of millions of dry shampoos for containing BENZENE which is a cancer-causing ingredient that you are inhaling and spraying on your scalp multiple times per week. Many of them are STILL on the shelves! 😡 I have a better option for you that does not contain talc (an oil absorber also connected to cancer), propane or butane either, which are all connected to allergies and eye, lung and skin irritations.

Let’s do better for our hormones, skin, hair, health, kids health and environmental health. Let’s get you started on better products that you can trust.

I’ve always curled my hair the same way until recently! Loving this look from our new spiral wand. This is apart of our curling wand that comes with 3 attachments 👀 there are some pieces of my hair that look crimpy so I need practice but it took the same amount of time as my normal curling wand.

PRODUCTS USED:
• anti-frizz blow out spray 
• the best ever dry shampoo
• texture spray for grit and hold
• flex control hairspray
• optional glossy shine mist
