This Vegan Baked Pumpkin Mac and Cheese is loaded with lots of fall favour, tons of nutrients and tastes so decadent! ONE POT, and itâs the perfect side dish.
Good grief. Upside to being a food blogger: making all this delicious food and getting to eat it. Downside? Having to stare at the photos and videos for hours while shooting, editing, sorting and then writing the posts. Itâs pretty hard not to get hungry while doing it. Looking at these pictures reminds me just how much we enjoyed this Vegan Baked Pumpkin Mac and Cheese to its core.
This is not something you want to miss out on.
So, itâs fall, and while Christmas is my fav holiday of all time, fall is right behind it, cozy in the second spot. Speaking of cozy, this time of the year I drink way more hot chocolate, way more tea, and I want all the warm, comforting foods. You wonât see me this a bowl of cereal for breakfast unless itâs this Pumpkin Spice Granola, and even then I would probably put that on top of warm oatmeal.
Warm comforting food is the way to go right now, even if itâs still hot outside. Itâs a mental thing I realise, but Iâm accepting it 100%. Thatâs probably why the Mr. and I were so inclined to making this baked pumpkin mac and cheese.
Itâs vegan (HELLO!) and soo comforting and delicious. To keep it vegan, we used vegan dairy cheese and Silkâs Soymilk, which helped to keep this a bit lightened up while keeping all of the comfort. Comfort may be my favourite word in this post; have you noticed?
Iâve always been a lover of Silkâs nut milk, but this was actually my first time trying the Soymilk. Shocker right? The Mr. actually baked up this beauty of a mac and cheese and substituted the same amount of Soymilk in place of where we usually use Almond milk. It tastes just as amazing as all their other milks and is perfect if you have a nut allergy! Definitely something we will be keeping on our supermarket list.
The second joy of using any nut milk made by Silk is that itâs always loaded with nutrients, calcium and essential vitamins, meaning that combined with the pumpkin, youâre doing your body a whole lot of good while enjoying a whole lot of yummy baked pumpkin mac and cheese. Win, win, right?!
Speaking of the pumpkin, you get a nice dose here. While the mac and cheese doesnât âscreamâ pumpkin flavour, it really contributes to the creaminess, the flavour and the nutrients.
My PRO tip for this recipe would be to broil it at the very end. Itâs not a must, but a few extra minutes really takes the breadcrumbs from yum to outstanding. Also, do not forget the sage! It goes so well with the pumpkin!
