My kitchen has smelled like cinnamon, pumpkin, apple, and maple for weeks now — all the cozy fall scents I can’t get enough of.

As soon as the air turns crisp, I go all in on cozy baking. I truly thrive this time of year! I’m always so inspired strolling through my local farmers market and apple orchard. Afterward, I come home ready to bake a warm batch of my vegan apple cider donuts or whip up my easy air fryer apples.

So, I pulled together my favorite healthy fall desserts into one cozy collection to share all that inspiration with you! You’ll find apple bread, pumpkin muffins, candy-inspired treats, and more.

Each recipe is made with simple, wholesome ingredients (vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free), so you can enjoy the sweetness of the season in a better-for-you way.

As always, I’d love to hear what you’re baking this fall! Let me know in the comments which desserts you’re making on repeat this season.
