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…

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…

Spiced Sweet Potato Bread + Brown Sugar Icing (Vegan)
The decade is almost over guys! I know everyone’s posting retrospective photos, talking about goals for the next decade, and basically just wondering how it passed so quickly. Me? I’m honestly not too concerned about it. I mean, it’s exciting to be starting a new global chapter for sure. I guess I’m just not so into focusing on new year’s (or in this case new decade’s) resolutions as if that’s the only time to make big life decisions. I sort of prefer to make them on a daily basis. Besides, I’ve never been the greatest at sticking to arbitrary resolutions set out of obligation. I think if something matters to…

Chocolate Chip French Toast Muffins (Vegan+GF)
Am I the only one who hates seeing the perfectly good bread heels go in the trash? Well, if you’re with me on this then you’ll be extra excited about this recipe because it’s a perfect way to use them and any stale bread for that matter. Don’t worry though, if bread waste isn’t a problem for you this recipe can be made with fresh bread also. As for the chocolate chips, they can be replaced with a bunch of different things. Whether you just don’t like chocolate with cinnamon, have an allergy, or are following a low fat diet there are plenty of other options. I personally love the…

Oaty Pumpkin Pancakes + Maple Nut Butter Spread (Vegan+GF)
I’ve been really loving oats lately. During the Summer I felt like I could eat allllllll the fruit but the moment the weather shifted all I’ve wanted are warm foods. Now plain old oats can seem really boring to some people, and that’s okay. However, if you want to get the best of both worlds by eating your healthy oats and doing it in a way you love, make oatmeal pancakes! OOoooh, and add pumpkin and spice and everything nice! (Did I take that too far? yeah probably.) Not only do these have all the benefits of whole grains but they’ve also got some sneaky fruits and veggies from the…

Cinnamon Apple Graham Cracker Crumb Bars (Vegan)
And it appears the weekend’s over, so um………I think we need something sweet to “celebrate”, right? HEY, how do you feel about apples and cinnamon stuffed inside cookie bars???? But for reals, what do you think? I have all types in my gang when it comes to apple desserts; the ones that like anything and everything, the ones that only like cooked apples but hate cinnamon, the ones that claim to be allergic to all fruits, those that only like raw apples, and those that refuse to have an opinion at all. With so many people living here in casa craziness it’s becoming easier and easier to get rid of…

Healthy Pumpkin Pie Spiced Hummus with Cinnamon Graham Crackers (Vegan)
So it’s finally starting to feel consistently like Fall which officially means it’s time for #pumpkinspiceeverything. If you think I’m exaggerating, just wait until the end of October. Haha, my brother-in-law has been loving to make fun of me, my sister, and any other American girl that enjoys pumpkin. As he says we’re “basic white girls” and apparently that applies to all my fellow Autumn fanatics. Hey, I’m not ashamed to own it because I do love it! I mean, have you seen all the pumpkin flavored things at the store????? How can that not be fun and exciting? I’m hoping to take my little sister and my nephew to…
