Mini Chocolate Chip Bundt Cakes (Vegan+GF)
It’s January so we’re making things a bit healthier and tryna be be good, ya know? These adorable little cakes are perfect for a healthy treat or snack with coffee. They are simple to make and look so elegant when sprinkled with a little bit of powdered sugar. Before I get into this recipe though, can I point out something guys? So I started cooking and baking very young, I’ve been a food blogger for years, worked at restaurant for a good minute, (serving and working in the kitchen), worked in a bakery, and I’ve been vegan for about 3 years. Maybe that much familiarity with food and ingredients gives me an advantage…

Chocolate Cherry Almond Scones (Vegan+GF)
Well, I think we can agree that we never thought 2020 would actually end. Although, the joke is kind of on us since 2021 is starting out to look pretty similar. But we’re not going to talk about that. Let’s talk about these delicious scones. I’ve been working at a bakery part time for a while now and we bake so many flavors of scones. I always end up thinking about how I haven’t made a scone recipe in ages and how many flavors of scones that I would like to try. My favorite part of coming up with recipes is that I can go to the ingredients I have on hand and…

Pumpkin Spice Granola (Vegan+GF)
Guys, guys, omg I’m just really excited Autumn is here! So this year hasn’t exactly given us much to look forward to but over my dead body is 2020 going to ruin the Holiday season for me. You feel me? Okay, this granola is probably my new favorite and that’s saying something because I make granola pretty often. Baking anything and everything with pumpkin and spices is always the quickest way to get into the Autumn mood. The only thing I’m slightly disappointed that I didn’t do with this recipe is add some pecans or walnuts. I just didn’t have any on hand because I’d already used them all. I mean, it’s…

Simple Cinnamon Crumb Cake (Vegan+GF)
Ok, so tell me if I’m the only one who thought this… …but I always thought coffee cake actually had coffee in it. I mean, maybe it should because that sounds delicious, but it’s also good as is with no coffee. Either way, can’t we just fix the confusion and just call it crumb cake or something? I think it’s just as good a title for this simple and classic treat. Another question; does this count as a breakfast food? Personally, I believe in a balanced approach to health and nutrition so def wouldn’t recommend having it as a regular breakfast. However, sometimes the weekends just need to start off with a little…

PB&J Granola Parfaits (Vegan+GF)
Tell me if you can relate to this. I love to cook for people and I love to make huge, elaborate meals for big groups and I’ll spend hours in the kitchen. When I’m cooking for just me though, I’m not even willing to get a bowl out of the cabinet to put food in sometimes. I’ll literally just eat random stuff out of a box or grab something that requires zero prep. My roomies make fun of me and say I eat like a savage sometimes and they’re not wrong. Haha, I think years of food blogging has ruined my civilized kitchen habits. But again, the moment I have someone to cook…

Cinnamon Banana Bread Oat Waffles (Vegan+GF)
Is there anything more beautiful than a huge plate of waffles? Nothing is coming to mind so we’re just gonna go with no. I have this problem where I always buy way too many bananas at once and they all ripen at the same time. I think a lot of people have the same problem which is probably how banana bread got invented. Before making these I had I thought about making banana bread but then realized I hadn’t used my mini waffles maker in a long time. To be honest, it’s not the most convenient thing if you’re making waffles for more than one person because it takes foreeeeeeeever to make them…

Berry Orange Blended Oats (Vegan+GF)
I love it when I discover some new food idea that I’ve never heard of before. It’s especially great when it’s easy and/or healthy and I have all the ingredients to try it. This is one of those times. Okay, have you ever heard of blended oats? I came across the idea on pinterest recently and it was one of those mind-blown moments. I don’t know why I’ve never thought of it before. It’s not complicated at all. The texture is like a slightly grainy yogurt and the flavor is super versatile. For this recipe I added fresh berries and whole oranges but you could honestly use any type of fruit. Actually,…
