Anyone else love making fun festive desserts for the holidays?! I’ve always been a big fan of celebrating with seasonal sweets (especially for Halloween and Christmas), so I rounded up some of my favorite dairy-free Halloween treats for you. Great for celebrating with your kiddos in October!
1. Dairy-Free Halloween Cut-Out Sugar Cookies
Classic and customizable! These dairy-free Halloween cookies are perfect for spooky shapes like ghosts, Frankensteins, pumpkins, candy corn, and more. They are a lightly sweet recipe, perfect for decorating with a simple powdered sugar icing on top. (Icing recipe is included in the link!).
2. Candy Corn Cupcakes
How fun are these layered cupcakes?! They’re pretty easy to make with a vanilla cupcake batter that’s colored with yellow and orange food coloring, then topped with a vanilla buttercream. The recipe has a homemade frosting option, but you can also easily use store-bought to save time.
3. Halloween Cookie Cake
I love this recipe because it’s made with oil instead of a dairy-free butter, making it an inexpensive and easy option. Decorate it with whatever frosting you’d like, or just add some Halloween sprinkles and call it a day.
4. “Witch’s Finger” Cookies
I love this recipe because it’s a little spooky, a little silly, and a whole lotta fun. Yes, the fingers are a little chubby because I get lazy with chilling dough – but who cares? 😉 It gets the point across. Plus, these cookies are made with olive oil instead of any butter substitutes, meaning they’re easy to whip up with pantry staples.
5. Halloween Monster Muffins
Want a healthier Halloween treat option? These monster muffins feature spinach blended into the banana muffin batter for a little boost of vitamins and minerals! Plus, each muffin packs in 5 grams of filling fiber and only has 6 grams of added sugar.
6. Chocolate Pumpkin Cookies
These cookies are soft and chewy, and packed with fall flavor. They combine rich cocoa with hints of pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice. Throw a few festive sprinkles and an edible eyeball on top, and it’s easily ready to serve for Halloween.
7. Dairy-Free Halloween Donuts
Whip up these easy baked donuts, topped with a simple powdered sugar glaze that can be colored with food coloring to make festive Halloween colors. As an alternative, you can stick with the plain white glaze and add Halloween sprinkles on top.
8. Zombie Guts Cinnamon Rolls
These are probably the easiest recipe on this list, and are perfect for those last-minute rushes to make something festive. All you need are canned dairy-free cinnamon rolls and raspberry preserves. Unravel the rolls and weave them back and forth in a baking dish, bake, then top with the icing mixed with raspberry preserves. Boom – it looks like zombie guts! Instant mom win.
I hope you enjoy these fun dairy-free Halloween treats – perfect for adults and kiddos alike!
