Gluten-free, refined sugar-free cake with 2-ingredient frosting… are you intrigued?? This recipe came about as a birthday cake for my dad, who is diabetic and can’t have large amounts of refined sugar. Of course it’s also gluten-free and vegan, because what’s the point in making a cake that I can’t eat. Especially chocolate cake. Seriously,…

Gluten-Free Banana Bread
Banana bread is one of those basic recipes everyone should have in their arsenal. It should be considered part of the basics, right up there with boiling water and cooking rice. Ironically I couldn’t cook a pot of rice if life depended on it… thank god for the rice cooker… But back to banana bread!…
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. They’re fudge-y, dense, and super chocolatey. Vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free. Remove the walnuts and they’re also nut-free in case…
Maple Walnut Waffles
Pancakes are perhaps the most requested breakfast/brunch dish in our house, however, waffles are a close second. The receipt of a new waffle iron this past Christmas has caused them to have many repeat performances over the past few months. While I like the simplicity of my old stove-top waffle maker, the convenience of an…
Multi-Grain Pancakes
In our house weekends are all about breakfast, or at the time we usually eat, brunch. With my new training regiment I hit the gym first thing in the morning when it is still quiet.
Healthy & Delicious Chocolate Chip Pecan Blondes
I made these blondes for a dessert to bring to my parents last weekend. I was worried these would be an epic fail as I threw them together on the spot, but they turned out great! They’re moist, dense, and slightly sweet with a wonderfully nutty flavor. Oh, did I mention these are gluten-free, oil-free,…
Donuts worth dunkin…
Perhaps into a warm mug of mulled cider. Or would that be too much apple cider, or is there even such a thing as too much apple cider? Apple cider, another seasonal favorite of mine. Thick, and super sweet, served ice cold or piping hot, it wouldn’t be Autumn without it.
Ahoy!
While these may be chocolate chip cookies, they are the furthest thing from the cookies found on every commercial grocery store’s shelves.
Sinfully Chocolatey Banana Bread
So after a very long hiatus from writing and baking since the move to the new house, i thought i would jump back in with something rich and sweet, my sinfully chocolatey banana bread. After a series of emotional highs and lows, and discovering while unpacking the pantry that I had 36 unopened bags of…
Chocolate Hazelnut Biscotti
Chocolate hazelnut biscotti have always been one of my favorites. My mom makes them every year for the holidays, so this year, I decided the holidays just wouldn’t be complete without a vegan version of these. So I made one up… Turns out, they may be even better than the original non-vegan version. Especially since…
