Organic Vegan Pumpkin Cheesecake is a delicious dessert that is much healthier to make than regular Cheesecakes. My wife Patricia found this recipe from Living Like A Panda’s You Tube Channel. We modified the recipe ingredients to include items that are available here where we live.

Organic Vegan Pumpkin Cheesecake

Organic Vegan Pumpkin Cheesecake Ingredients

– 600 Grams of Pumpkin

Cheesecake Base:

– 200 Grams of Toasted Vegan Cookies ( Patricia uses Graham Crackers Made With Honey )

– 120 Grams Margarine (melted or soft)

Cheesecake:

– 130 Grams of Stewed Pumpkin

– 100 ML of Agave Syrup Or Organic Pure Maple Syrup

– 500 Grams of Natural Soy Yogurt

– 1 Tablespoon of Lemon Juice

– 1 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Without Alcohol

– 60 Grams of Corn Starch

Pumpkin and Cinnamon Jam:

– 470 Grams of Stewed Pumpkin

– 140 ML of Agave Syrup Or Organic Pure Maple Syrup

– 1 Tablespoon of Lemon Juice

– 1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

– 2 Tablespoons of Water

– 1 1/2 Tablespoons Fine Corn Starch

  • We start by peeling and dicing the pumpkin. Cook it and separate it into two parts. You need 130 grams for the base of the cheesecake and the other 470 grams for the jam.
  • For the base, chop the graham crackers and break them.
  • Add the margarine and mix.
  • Compact this mixture to the base of the Springform Container. We use a circular oven with a diameter of 8 inches or 20 centimeters.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 Degrees Fahrenheit Or 180 Celsius.
  • Make the Vegan Cheese filling by crushing all the specified ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Spread onto the base and bake at 350 Degrees Fahrenheit or 180 Celsius for about 50 minutes.

  • Now make a spice of pumpkin and cinnamon jam.
  • In a saucepan add the rest of the stewed pumpkin along with the agave syrup and the cinnamon powder.
  • Stir and heat over medium heat.
  • Keep heating without stopping stirring for a few minutes.
  • When you see that your pumpkin mixture separates and at the bottom there is no liquid, turn off the heat.
  • Add the water and corn starch.
  • Blend with mixer or VitaMix but do it with care that it does not burn your arm.
  • Turn the fire back on and heat until it boils.
  • Stir, turn off the heat and you are done. Transfer this jam to a separate container.
  • When you take the cake out of the oven, let it sit on your counter for at least 1 hour.
  • Then pour the jam on top and spread it well.
  • Put your cheesecake in the fridge at least 2 hours before eating.
  • When you take it out of the fridge, separate the edges with a knife so it does not crumble.
  • Cut a piece and enjoy.

Vegan Carrot Apple Cake is a healthy delicious dessert you can enjoy any time. Substitute butter, milk, sugar for plant-based alternatives.

Vegan Carrot Apple Cake

Vegan Carrot Apple Cake Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

2 Cups Organic Whole Wheat Flour
1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
½ Teaspoon Cinnamon
¼ Teaspoon Salt

Wet Ingredients

3 Vegan Eggs ***
2 Cups Shredded Organic Carrots
1 Zest From Organic Orange
½ Cup Organic Olive Oil
½ Cup Organic Maple Syrup
¼ Cup Organic Apple Sauce
¼ Cup Fresh Squeezed Organic Orange Juice
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

***Prepare 3 Tablespoons Of Flaxseed Flour and Mix In 9 Cups Of Water. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes so it will gel.

Vegan Carrot Apple CakeWhen you need eggs in a recipe, substitute 1 Tablespoon of Flaxseed Flour and 3 Tablespoons of Water for 1 Egg. To get the most nutrients, Patricia says you should buy whole flax seeds and grind them into a flour with your Vitamix or Blendtec when you are making the cake.

Optional Ingredients
½ Cup Cranberries
½ Cup Walnuts

Vegan Carrot Apple Cake Directions

After your Flaxseed Flour has gelled, mix the other wet ingredients except your two cups of Shredded Carrots in a mixing bowl. Now take the dry ingredients and mix them in a separate bowl. Pour your dry ingredients over your wet ingredients. Now mix the two cups of Shredded Carrots and optional Cranberries and Walnuts and mix your cake ingredients thoroughly.

Now lightly oil with a kitchen brush your muffin pans with organic olive oil. My wife Patricia found the silicone muffin liners in the local Target store. She just told me that you can find these silicone liners in Home Goods, Marshalls, and Ross Stores. You do not need to oil the silicone liners as the cake batter will not stick to the silicone liner.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and cook your cake for 20-25 minutes. Put a toothpick in the middle of one of your cup cakes and see if the cake is cooked.

Organic Vegan Carrot Cake is one of my wife Patricia’s favorite recipes. It is a healthy and delicious treat any time of the day.

Organic Vegan Carrot Cake

In a medium bowl, wash 3 medium sized organic carrots and use a food processor or a mandolin to shred the carrots. Set the bowl aside for now.

Organic Vegan Carrot Cake

Cake Liquid Ingredients
420 ml almond or other milk
1 tbsp apple vinegar
180 grams sugar ( We use Muscovado Or Panela Unrefined Sugar )
80 ml  olive oil

Cake Dry Ingredients
440 grams flour ( brown, spelt , red )
1 tbsp cinnamon
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp clove
1/4 tsp cardamom

150 grams grated carrot
50 grams nuts chopped

Put the liquid ingredients in the dry and mix thoroughly. You should get a cake batter. If the batter is not thick enough, add a small amount of flour until you get a proper cake batter.

Last step is to put the grated carrot and chopped nuts into your cake batter and mix thoroughly. Grease your cake pan with a coating of olive oil so the cake batter does not stick to the pan. Bake your Organic Vegan Carrot Cake in the oven 40 minutes and see if a toothpick comes out clean. If the toothpick is a little wet, bake your cake a few minutes more.

Enjoy your Organic Vegan Carrot Cake. The recipe in the photo above came out perfect. It is moist but stays together.

In South America, we can find Panela Sugar at most markets. In North America, you can order it online. In our local area, we have been able to find Dark Muscovado Sugar. Both of these sugars are unrefined so they are healthier for the body.

Quinoa is not a grass, but rather a pseudo cereal botanically related to spinach and amaranth, and originated in the Andean region of northwestern South America.

Quinoa is a flowering plant in the amaranth family. It is a herbaceous annual plant grown as a crop primarily for its edible seeds; the seeds are rich in protein, dietary fiber, B vitamins, and dietary minerals in amounts greater than in many grains.

Quinoa has all the essential amino acids the body needs.

My wife Patricia likes to cook the Black, White, and Red Quinoa and add it to our oatmeal in the morning.

For dinner, Patricia will add some White Quinoa to her rice dishes to create a delicious meal.

Over 75 pounds or 35 Kilograms left my body and I have maintained my weight loss since.

Blueberries are considered a Super Food, and can help maintain healthy bones, reduce blood pressure, manage diabetes, and ward off heart disease. They have been shown to protect against cancer, and can also help maintain bone strength.

In 1999, I weighed 75 pounds more than I do now. I started eliminating animal products from my diet and I quickly lost the excess weight in just 6 months.

Combine your dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add your eggs, milk, oil and vanilla. Beat with a mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin. Pour into your pans.

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Cool for 10 minutes.  Remove from pan and place on a wire rack so the cake is raised up off your counter a little. This will help the cake cool and settle. We leave ours out over night if you make the cake in the evening. Put in an air tight container and enjoy for at least 4 days.

You can make a healthy frosting also.

Healthy Organic Homemade Bread With Seeds Ingredients

Healthy Organic Homemade Bread With Seeds

We make 2 loaf pans of bread a week. If you just one one bread pan, cut the following recipe in half.

Measure Out the following amount of organic grains and seeds and put in a medium sized bowl:

Amaranth 25 grams

Chia Seeds 20 grams

Flax Seeds 25 grams

Quinoa 30 grams

Rolled Oats 50 grams

Put in a blender, vita mix or blendtec. We get great results from a blendtec machine. Pulse until thoroughly mixed together. Put in your medium size bowl.

Healthy Organic Homemade Bread With SeedsNow measure out the following Organic Whole Grains in a large mixing bowl:

Brown Wheat 500 grams

Buckwheat 100 grams

Red Wheat 150 grams

Spelt Flour 100 grams

White Wheat Flour 150 grams

Stir these five grains thoroughly, then combine the other grains in the medium sized bowl. Stir until mixed together.

With a spatula, put the flour around the outside edge of your large mixing bowl. Create a bare spot in the center of your bowl. Put 1 Tablespoon of Yeast. Now put 1 Tablespoon of Honey on top of the Yeast. Now pour a 1/2 cup of room temperature water over your yeast and honey and stir in the center.

Look at the top photo to see what your consistency should look like. Let the yeast, honey and water sit for 10 minutes to activate the yeast.

Now add 3/4 teaspoon of pink himalayan salt or sea salt  to the outer rim of your large bowl where the flour is. Add 1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil in the middle with the yeast and honey.

Healthy Organic Homemade Bread With SeedsNow add 1 cup of room temperature water and start mixing the dough with one hand only. You need to keep your other hand clean to turn your bowl as you mix with the other hand. If you need to add a little more of room temperature water to the dough so the dough sticks a little.

Now start rolling your dough out for 5 minutes. My wife Patricia does a great job showing you how to do this in the You Tube Video above. The dough should get a little hard after 5 minutes. Set the dough in your large bowl and rest for 5 minutes. Repeat the process 2 more times to completely work the dough.

Now set the dough in the large bowl and cover with plastic for one hour. The photo above is what your dough will look like as it rises.

Now take the dough and roll out any air that may be in the dough. Patricia says it only takes a couple of minutes. Form the dough into any shape you desire your bread to be. Put in your greased loaf pan and cover for 25 minutes.
