Why have pumpkin oreos when you can have pumpkin oreo cake?? haha

We love making simple healthier cake recipes.

This cake is great if you have someone in your family that cannot eat things like eggs, nuts or gluten. It is made from real foods like plantains, pumpkin and coconut.

The recipe inspiration came from 11 ingredient oreo cake and oreo kabocha squash cake. Both are equally as yummy as this protien pumpkin fudge cake!

We love chocolate. We love pumpkin. We grew up loving oreos.

So we put together our plantain chocolate cake with pumpkin fudge to make one ultimate holiday dessert!

This cake is a great way to impress your loved ones who are looking to eat a little healthier this season.

Even though this cake might look complicated.

It’s not.

Promise.

This holiday season we want you to have fun in the kitchen. Get your family involved in the holiday baking.

If you are looking for a low sugar, grain-free dessert this is for you!

We used our homemade coconut butter but you can use store bought too. We recommend softening it to make it easier to whip.

If you have questions about plantains check out this post.

We used protein powder in the cake and fudge, but you can use any flour you like.

Please note this cake is not sweet like most of our recipes here on the blog. If you desire more sweetness add in some stevia or you can reduce coconut oil in cake to add in some maple syrup.
