Intro paragraph for you to give a quick overview of this recipe, and entice the reader to continue reading because your recipe is fan-freaking-fantastic.
Background content: is this popular at certain times of year? Special holidays?
This was inspired by my other recipe on this site, and pairs well with this amazing sidedish recipe. Contextual, in-content links are far more valuable than a group listed at the bottom of the post.
Instructions
Use this section for process shots, alternating between the step and image showing the step. Users don’t like seeing process shots cluttering up the recipe card, so include your process shots here.
Combine all spices into a large bowl and mix thoroughly into lean ground beef.
Remember that image SEO is important: file names should reflect the recipe + step they represent, but only use alt text as a screen reader description.
Substitutions
Even if your reader doesn’t follow a specific diet (eg. gluten free), they may have friends or family that they’re cooking for that could use this. This is also a great idea to link out to another blogger with a similar recipe that fits a different diet.

Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
Dry
- 2 cups flour
- ½ t. baking soda
- ¾ t. salt
- 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
Wet
- ¾ cup vegan butter melted
- 1 ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 2 t. vanilla
- ⅓ cup pumpkin puree
- 10 ounces of chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients in a medium size bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl mix together melted butter and sugars.
- Mix in the rest of the wet ingredients.
- Add dry mix to wet in 2 batches. Stir until combined.
- Mix in chocolate chips, reserving a couple of tablespoons for topping cookies.
- Cover bowl and let chill in fridge for 1- 2 hours.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Preheat oven to 325° F.
- Scoop cookie dough into balls and space 4 inches apart on baking sheet. Do not flatten dough balls. (I like to make these cookies extra big and use around ⅓ of a cup of dough per cookie)
- Top each dough ball with some more chocolate chips (optional)
- Bake for 20 minutes. They will feel soft when coming out of the oven, but will set up over the next few hours.
- Let cool completely on the pan before serving to allow cookies to set.
