These Pumpkin & Peanut Butter Dog Ball Treats will make your doggies crazy. They are soft, require simple ingredients, healthy and so tasty.
I love making healthy treats for my furry babies. Since they are crazy about peanut butter, I always include some PB in their treats. Dogs are like toddlers, sometimes you have to hide healthy ingredients into their food. Some of my babies are picky eaters so peanut butter is always included to encourage them to eat.
This healthy tart will bring you to a tropical paradise. It has all that tropical flavors you need right now. It’s vegan, gluten-free, refined sugar free and so delicious. Plus is so easy to make with simple ingredients.
I made this tart using passion fruits that my family sent me from Puerto Rico. If you don’t have passion fruits available in your area, you can use frozen purée or replace it for mango. Growing up in Puerto Rico gave me the chance of eating all the tropical fruits and desserts you can’t imagine. My favorite tropical desserts are made with coconut and passion fruit. Here where I live it’s almost impossible to buy fresh passion fruit. So, my family spoils me with care packages with tropical candies and fruits.
If you are using passion fruits here’s a video of how I separate the pulp from the seeds without blending. I find this method more effective even though it requires more time.
For this tart you can use “Agar-Agar” powder or corn starch. Here I give you both options because sometime Agar powder it’s hard to find at the supermarket.
If you don’t know what Agar powder is, don’t worry I got you covered. Agar is a naturally gelatinous powder derived from marine red algae. It’s the perfect vegetarian substitute for beef gelatin in any food application, and makes an excellent thickener for soups, jellies, ice cream and more. Substituting agar flakes with cornstarch is easy; all you have to do is use a simple 2:1 ratio of cornstarch to agar flakes.
If you are allergic to any of the ingredients listed on the recipe, make sure to replace it for something suitable for you to eat. Also, feel free to sweetened your tart depending on your taste.

Here’s the Recipe:
Passion Fruit Coconut Tart (Vegan, Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar Free)
1 tbsp agar-agar powder or replace for 2 tbsp of cornstarch
Instructions:
Grease an 8-inch tart pan with a removable bottom using coconut oil or non-stick spray.
In a blender combine crust ingredients and blend until well incorporated. It will be crumbly and sticky.
Press tart crust firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan and refrigerate while you work with your filling.
Prepare a large bowl with a mesh sieve. Cut passion fruits in half and scoop the pulp into the mesh sieve.
Using a fork start scraping the seeds and separate the pulp from the seeds. **See Video**
If using frozen purée skip step five. *See recipe notes if using a blender to separate the seeds from the pulp.
You should have ½ of passion fruit juice.
Pour passion fruit, coconut milk, coconut cream into a medium saucepan over low heat.
When mixture becomes warm, add the agar-agar, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Cook until agar-agar is completely dissolve. Allow to boil for 30 to 60 seconds.
Pour mixture into prepared pan, cover with a plate and refrigerate for at least for 4 to 6 hours or overnight.
**RECIPE NOTES**
If you are using cornstarch the process will be different because you will have to dissolve cornstarch before adding it to the mixture. Also, you have to cook it for about 5 minutes until you get a creamy consistency. Then you can refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours or overnight.
These muffins are the best banana muffins you’ll ever make. They are delicious, healthy and can be made gluten-free. The delicious and healthy walnut topping gives them a crunchy texture on the outside, but they are so moist and fluffy on the inside. Serve them for breakfast, snack or dessert.
This recipe is not only healthy and delicious but also easy to make. You can replace the flour for your favorite gluten-free blend and the egg for aquafaba or any egg replacer. When replacing eggs in baking, I find that the aquafaba (chickpea water) works really great. A lot of people went crazy for banana bread during this quarantine, including me. But sometimes a whole loaf is too much for me and my husband so I love making muffins because you can bake a few at a time and they’re so convenient. Plus if you bring them to your neighbors, they’ll love it.
Here’s a few baking tips for this recipe:
Use ripe bananas. The riper the moister your muffins will be.
Do not over mix the batter. Be gentle with the batter if you want fluffy cupcakes.
Replace egg with aquafaba or flax seeds. I rather use aquafaba because it rises the muffins the same way as the eggs.
Add other nuts or chocolate chips.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or use non-stick spray instead.
In a large bowl mash bananas and fold into sugar and egg using a wooden spoon until well blended.
Add the coconut oil and mix well.
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and ¾ cup of chopped walnuts.
Mix everything together just until all the ingredients are incorporated and the walnuts are distributed evenly throughout the batter.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining 3/4 cup walnuts, coconut sugar and melted butter and mix until the walnuts are coated.
Spoon the muffin batter evenly into the 12 muffin cups and spoon a bit of the coated walnuts onto the top of each muffin, making sure the topping is well distributed onto the top of each muffin. Make sure not in one big clump or it might sink into the muffin as it bakes.
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the muffins comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool inside muffin tray for a few minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.
