Pumpkin Pecan Pie – glutenfree, vegan and paleo

Festive Pecan Pie

This pecan pumpkin cake with oat base and delicious pudding filling is THE perfect dessert for your festive table! And it’s vegan, gluten-free, paleo and healthy.

A piece of sweet, orange-coloured cake anyone – tenderly melting and fluffy at the same time? To make it perfect, my creation is enclosed in baked oatmeal and garnished with delicious pecan nuts.
Now I know why I love October 🙂

Pecan Pumpkin Pie Porridge anyone?

If the ingredients of the cake were sorted differently, we would have a healthy meal like a porridge. And that is actually quite cool, if what we need in normal meals is enough to create a festive cake :).

Easy peasy pecan pumpkin pie

Promise: this pecan nut pumpkin cake is easy peasy :). The only thing that can happen is that you forget the cake in the oven. And the cool thing about the pie is that it does not need butter or other frills. The pumpkin component even smuggles vegetables into the cake. Sounds pretty healthy – and it is. But don’t worry, it doesn’t hurt the taste! On the contrary, Hokkaido is naturally sweet, which is why it  goes well with cakes, Muffins and Co.

The preparation of the cake doesn’t take long, but you still need a little patience. Because the longer you let the fresh cake rest and cool down, the more it takes on its actual shape. It’s best to leave it in the fridge for half a day or a whole day before serving it.
