pumpkin everywhere!
this is the time to indulge in pumpkin everything- that is of course if you like pumpkin.
everywhere you turn you are bound to see loads of recipes inspired by the mighty fall pumpkin - some savory, some sweet; pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie filling and fresh pumpkin all find their way into most recipes this time of year- and i love it.

this has been one of the tastiest gluten free cakes i have ever made - so moist and flavorful.
gluten free oats are finely ground then combined with coconut flour (love coconut flour!), chocolate chunks, pumpkin puree and maple syrup. all the autumn goodness you could ever want in one bite.

  the mini bundts are baked - they actually bake up pretty quickly, in about 20 minutes or so.

then drizzled with vegan white and dark chocolate sprinkled with pepitas for the finishing touch.
not only super tasty but beautiful, vegan & gluten free making any guest at your autumn table smile.

Chocolate Pumpkin Mini Bundts
makes 6 mini bundts
 
you will need:
2 cups gf oats finely ground
1 cup coconut flour
2 tbsp corn starch
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup roughly chopped gf dark chocolate + 1/4 cup melted for drizzle

pepitas
 
assembly:
pre heat oven to 350*
 
in a medium mixing bowl  combine dry ingredients (gf oats through cinnamon) - stir in chocolate chunks.
 
in another medium bowl combine wet ingredients - pumpkin through maple syrup & whisk until well combine.
 
stir wet mixture into dry until well mixed.
 
grease a mini bundt pan (6 mini bundt wells) with canola oil, coconut oil or vegan butter & lightly flour with coconut flour, tapping out the excess- fill each mini bundt well with pumpkin mixture.
 
bake in the oven for  15 - 20 minutes until a skewer comes out clean when tested in the center of the cakes. remove from oven and allow to cool on a wire rack. turn out once cool enough to handle pan.
 
in a 2 separate microwave safe bowls place white chocolate in one and dark chocolate in the other - microwave in 30 second intervals stirring after each 30 seconds until chocolate has melted

drizzle melted chocolate over the tops of each cake and sprinkle with pepitas.
 
enjoy!

  2. These look amazing! It's awesome how good you've gotten at this gluten-free thing... I'm still a little shaken up from my last attempt. :P

    When pumpkins start coming in, there is no stopping me.. there are SO many recipes I want to make every year! My fiance does the pies for his family every year, so that's always top of the list. :)

  9. Ok I think you may have just convinced me to buy a mini bundt pan! We had mini bundt cakes at our wedding reception and I just think they are adorable. I need to make some of your amazing looking bundts! Beautiful!

    1. What!?! You don't have a mini Bundt Pan - I am so surprised - get yourself to the store and get one of these Chicka - mini bundts make everyone smile :)

  10. Yum! I will probably need to try this out. I am obsessed with pumpkin and chocolate and haven't broken out my mini bundt pan in a few months! I have had a bit of success with gluten free baking. I definitely love oat, rice, almond, and coconut flours. Not a huge fan of bean or quinoa flours though.

    1. I am with you on the GF flours - I have had a few success with Chickpea Flour but I love GF oat & coconut flour along with almond meal!

  11. Oh I would eat anything that combined chocolate and pumpkin- the fact that you also used maple and coconut flour, well that's a done deal :)

    Lovely recipe!!

  17. I always try to come up with as many ways as I can to use up canned pumpkin during this time of year! I don't think you can go wrong with any pumpkin baked good that has maple syrup and cinnamon in it. Love that you used oats and coconut flour too! Just a note - I think our pumpkin can sizes in Canada are bigger than the U.S. ones...what size can did you use for your recipe?
