These overnight oats are my new FAVE for one simple reason: what’s better than chocolate (in the form of cacao powder) and mocha thanks to 1/2 shot of warm espresso?! Plus I’ll be needing that tiny bit of caffeine! It’s probably one of the best combos, ever. Top them with all-natural peanut butter, a handful of raw walnuts, fresh banana slices and you’re set!
I wanted to try some bliss balls with benefits; and these cookie dough energy bites are just that. They have the goodness of old-fashioned rolled oats, ground flax seed meal, dairy-free dark chocolate chips, creamy (all-natural) peanut butter and a tiny dash of raw agave and coconut or MCT oil for some healthy fat action. Oh and they DO taste like raw peanut butter cookie dough. Win-win? 😉
Warm, freshly-baked blueberry muffins are one of life’s simple pleasures. I like to enjoy mine with eyes closed, washed down with a glass of creamy cashew milk, or taking slow sips from a cup of piping hot coffee. I also like to get up before everyone else does (an ambitious endeavor) -particularly in our house…… Continue reading Healthy Blueberry Muffins
Butter tarts, pecan tarts, anything tarts- they all have a place in ma’ heart. I definitely don’t discriminate. Most importantly; I have a well-known penchant for so-called “Fall Treats”. You see, Fall Treats sort of exist in a league of their own. A-L-S-O, they have pretty distinct ingredients like; apples, pecans, pumpkin, maple, pears, ginger…… Continue reading Date Caramel Pecan Pie Bars
I have a well-known penchant for ALL desserts that involve baked apples. Simply said, there’s a very special place in my baker’s heart for apple pie, apple crisp, apple tarts, apple muffins… you name it! the list goes on… and on! There’s nothing better than the dispersing smell of warm, cinnamon-dusted apples, with a little nutmeg sprinkle. I wish I could bottle up that scent and share it with you all. They should totally make apple pie scented candles, I am 100% behind that.
When it comes to muffins, you get what you put in. These are healthy, wholesome- but don’t taste it one bit. That’s exactly the kind of baked good situation you want to be in. They’re made with ALL good things like; certified gluten-free oats, organic pumpkin puree, dairy free chocolate chips, pasture-raised eggs etc. But hey, the finished product tastes both; decadent and highly enjoyable. You want a second muffin the moment you take a bite of the first. These are so easy to make and the best kinda Fall treat!
Two words: FUDGE FACTOR! The classic gets a remake! Let’s agree by stating the obvious: am totally brownie-obsessed; and have been so for as long as I can remember. These easy-to-make double chocolate almond flour brownies are my “spirit animal”, my kryptonite, the cheese to my macaroni. They’re my favorite chocolatey treat and the BEST dessert, in my humble opinion. And friends; this comes from a girl who likes to bake a’ plenty.
OK: as weird as this combo may sound; don’t let that deter you from trying this. You are literally 7 ingredients away from some of the best banana bread of your life. Take it from this banana bread monster (AKA: connoisseur) 😉 I have tried baking brownies with canned chickpeas; but this one is completely different. Like, totally different texture altogether. Say H-E-L-L-O to chickpea (or fava) flour! It’s super affordable and naturally gluten-free. It looks like a light, yellow-ish flour; somewhat similar to cornmeal. It’s not dense nor will your baked goods feel heavy, either.
Is there anything better than a gooey, melt-in-your-mouth ginormous chocolate chip cake-like cookie?! Nope… I didn’t think so. Unless (of course) you can make it yourself; with ALL clean ingredients and minimal prep time. Double WIN. This, my friends, is the answer to all your dessert dreams. One-bowl, minimal mess, and a foolproof recipe!
