Day 2: Fruitcake Squares The 12 Days of Vegan Christmas Cookies I can’t even begin to tell you how many fruitcake haters I’ve converted with these fruitcake squares.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Squares
I feel like its been a while since I’ve posted something sweet… Allow me to break that silence with these – totally SWOON worthy – chocolate peanut butter rice squares. Remember the rice crispy squares you ate as a kid? Well they just got a makeover… Plus, these are vegan! With only 5-ingredients! No marshmallows…
Healthy Brownies
Healthy Brownies. Yes that’s a thing, and no they aren’t gross. I think everyone has seen the meme for vegan healthy brownies that look like blocks of grass. I promise these are nothing like that.

Toffee Zucchini Oat Squares
Going through my camera these past few days I’ve come across numerous recipes that have yet to make their way onto the blog. This is the first of many to pop up in the next few weeks. Concocted a few weeks back, after a grueling 2 hour workout at the gym and a major calorie…
Figgy Bars
Inspired by the famous figgy pudding beloved by the Brits, these brandy-glazed bars are chock-full of figs and flavored with pumpkin-pie spices. These bars are incredibly moist and tender, although slightly difficult to cut. So if you’re looking for nice clean edges, place the baking sheets in the refrigerator over night, this makes slicing a…
