    Deliciously comforting Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Oat Bars (Gluten Free). Full of dreamy pumpkin spice flavor and sweet chocolate chips to finish it off! #vegan #pumpkin #bars

    If it’s September, then you’re in the clear to start making pumpkin things…

    Like these Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Oat Bars. At least that’s what I tell myself! Although I make pumpkin things throughout the year because it’s comforting and makes me happy. Also I eat for my cycle which means pumpkin in the luteal phase 🙂

    Bloggers love to blog about pumpkin though! I’m well aware and proud to be one of them. I can’t help myself haha.

    There has been a bittersweet sense of fall in the air since September arrived. This was a really fun and somewhat relaxing summer so I’m ready for all the fall things, plus there are lots of exciting things happening around here! My book (The Happy Hormone Guide) is coming out on September 10th, I have my bachelorette party at the end of September and we’re getting married on December 6th in Mexico! Did I mention we are going on a safari honeymoon to South Africa?! It doesn’t feel real so I’m actually pinching myself. I have lots to be grateful for so I’m trying to soak it all in and savor the special moments 🙂

    But you came for these delicious vegan pumpkin bars so let’s get to those!

    Deliciously comforting Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Oat Bars (Gluten Free). Full of dreamy pumpkin spice flavor and sweet chocolate chips to finish it off! #vegan #pumpkin #bars

    I wanted to name them breakfast bars but they have chocolate chips… this doesn’t bother me or stop me from eating them for breakfast but maybe some people would be offended? Either way, they are not overly sweet and can most definitely be enjoyed with a hot cup of coffee or tea, or my creamy caffeine-free latte. Mmmm! Even my golden milk turmeric latte would play nice with these breakfast-like bars!

    First off, these gooey bars couldn’t be easier since everything is made in one bowl and takes about 10 minutes to throw together. Pumpkin, peanut butter, vanilla, maple syrup and a little almond milk are mixed with gluten free flour, oats, warming pumpkin spices and pecans! Your kitchen will smell like actual heaven. Plus the vegan chocolate chips add that special touch so I couldn’t resist adding them to the mix.

    I hope you savor every last flavorful bite of these cozy bars!

      Hi Shannon,
      I am new to plant based eating and saw your presentation today at the Plant Based + Method Summit. I am always looking for simple easy vegan meals to follow. I just finished my 21 day challenge to see how I liked being vegan and surprising, it was easier than I thought to give up meat and dairy and just eat starch, veggie and fruit based instead. I am starting my journey eating this way. So far, so good. I feel great1 Thanks for your hormone presentation. I am also interested in clearing up the PMS symptoms I have by eating correctly so I enjoyed your presentation on that. Sincerely, Tanya an old Midwest girl and now a Cali girl.

      They were delicious! My partner and I are both vegan and stay away from refined sugar and these were a hit! I made them with almond butter which required a little extra cooking time but other than that they were perfect!

      I can’t wait to try this recipe!! I don’t eat gluten free so I don’t have GF flour… do you think I could sub spelt flour?

      Reply

        For sure! The recipe is forgiving and spelt flour is similar enough.

      Can you use almond flour instead of the GF all purpose flour?

        Hi Megan, I haven’t tried it so I’m not sure! Almond flour is a little different but you could definitely try it! You might have to adjust the wet ingredients (pumpkin and almond milk) to be a little less. I have tried it with a mix of oat flour and chickpea flour though and they turned out great so I think the recipe is forgiving with different flours 🙂

        Hope this helps!

    SHANNON // Hair Growth Tips
    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.

Take my HAIR QUIZ linked in my bio or DM me HAIR and I can get you started 🧴🧴🧴🧴

    after a lot of soul searching.. I almost gave up after a lot of soul searching..

I almost gave up on my dream of being a SAHM while having an income. I thought I would have to choose one or the other. My head was spinning about it. But right before I gave up, an opportunity to sell naturally-based haircare products landed in my lap. Immediately it felt right.

Since then, my confidence has soared because I’ve been able to foster my independence and identity apart from being a mom. Mentally, this has been life-changing. I love being a mama more than anything and I also love having my own thing. My own business to build. My own income. I’ve realized you really can have the best of both worlds. I’m not just saying that mamas. 

Yes it takes work and time to build a business but it’s YOURS and no one else’s. We are so powerful when we put our minds to something. And so productive because we don’t have time to waste. 

If you’ve been looking for something like this and want more information on what this partnership would look like, just DM me BIZ and we can chat about it 🩷🩷🩷
