Herby Vegan Pumpkin Buns

 These mini savory pumpkin buns are soft, herby, and perfectly portioned! Just right for snacking, sharing, or serving at a cozy autumn table.

Made with pumpkin purée, oat and coconut flour, and a fragrant mix of rosemary, thyme, sage, and garlic, they capture the essence of fall in every bite. The pumpkin makes them moist and flavorful, while the herbs turn them into a savory delight rather than a sweet treat.

Topped with a single seed for a rustic touch, these buns are simple to prepare yet charming enough to impress. Whether served warm straight out of the oven, paired with a bowl of soup, or enjoyed as a nourishing snack, they’re as practical as they are festive.

Wholesome, vegan, and gluten-free, they’re proof that seasonal comfort food doesn’t need to be complicated. Just a few ingredients, a bit of mixing, and you’ll have a tray full of golden, herby buns ready to brighten your day.
