10/26/2018It's hard to believe, but we’re already about a month into the autumn season—the time of year when the beachgoers begin to hibernate, and the leaf peepers come out to survey the northern landscape!
Whether you’re thriving or hiding (we’re a mixed bag at Compassion), you have to admit that fall comes with some pretty delicious flavors! From fresh-picked apples and pears to savory squash and cauliflower, some of the tastiest meals are fall favorites.
So to help you #EatPlantsForAChange, we thought we’d share a few dishes we’ve been drooling over on Instagram. Here’s our list of 9 seasonally-inspired plant-based recipes you’re sure to fall for:
1. Pumpkin Pancakes by @christinabedetta
View this post on InstagramPumpkin pancakes- One of my absolute favorite meals for this season🍂💛 🥞Recipe is up on my blog😊
FACT: Pancakes are always delicious. But this simple autumn spin on the timeless classic only makes us love them even more! (Pass the syrup, please.)
2. Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal by @cookingforpeanuts
Some think that oatmeal is synonymous with the word “bland,” but we certainly don’t think so! Oatmeal is packed with fiber, protein, and carbohydrates to start your day right. Check out this amazing recipe if you need to give your morning bowl a little extra kick!
3. Autumn Potatoes by @hello.kalin
We believe you don’t need an excuse to eat a plate of potatoes...but if you’re looking for one, we've got you covered! How good does curried pecan sauce sound?! (Really good.) Use it as a dip or as a dressing for your favorite salad.
4. Butternut Squash Almond Bisque by @thecuriouschickpea
A warm bowl of soup is the perfect fix for those cooler evenings when your infinity scarf just isn’t cutting it. If you find yourself with a free evening, why not make a big batch of this luscious bisque and throw it in the freezer for later? We promise you won’t be disappointed.
5. Pumpkin Beer Chili by @wellandfull
For those of us over the age of 21, you need to add this to your recipe rotation ASAP! Pumpkin beer is a crowd-pleaser this time of year, so why not turn it into chili? Plus, Sarah’s suggestion of layering it on top of French fries is sheer genius. (If this list had a winner, this one might be it...)
6. Creamy Butternut Squash and Roasted Tomato Pasta by @healthienut
I think we’re seeing a trend here—fall foods are comfort foods. And this pasta is no exception! Creamy, delicious, and healthy, it’s perfect for that big family dinner, or when you just feel like you need a little more squash in your life.
7. Parsnip Gnocci by @theplantifulchef
We feel strongly that parsnips are an underappreciated vegetable. While their vegetable cousin, the carrot, gets plenty of attention, parsnip is relatively underutilized here in the US. This seasonal gnocchi recipe is a tasty way to introduce the hearty vegetable into your diet!
8. Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Bread by @flora_and_vino
If you weren’t drooling before, you probably are now! This incredible recipe is sure to make anyone’s mouth water. Serve it warm after dinner or room temp for breakfast, there’s simply no wrong way to eat this bread.
9. Apple Crumble Bars by @simplyquinoa
It seems almost wrong that we waited until the last recipe to talk about apples... but hey, this isn’t a race! For many people, this fruit favorite is the pinnacle of the fall season (move over pumpkin spice), but you can only eat so many apple pies. If you went apple picking recently and you want to try something a little different, look no further than these healthy, flavorful apple crumble bars!
