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 chocolate but if…

Homemade Vegan Peppermint Patties (Gluten Free)
Who’s ready to make some Homemade Vegan Peppermint Patties? Yes, I know you can buy them at the store but how much more fun is it to make them at home? I mean, really. This post is all about Homemade Vegan Peppermint Patties Peppermint patties are one of the most classic duos of chocolate and peppermint that I can think of. They’re right up next to mint chip ice cream and candy canes dipped in hot cocoa. They’re sweet, they’re soft, and they’re really easy to make. Now in the past I’ve tried the method of rolling out the filling and cutting it with a small cookie cutter. While this way totally works,…

Copycat “Reese’s” Peanut Butter Cups (Vegan + GF)
If I had to make a top 5 chocolate candy list, I think peanut butter cups would be near the top. There’s just something so timeless about peanut butter and chocolate. Personally I’m a fan of dark chocolate, but I know there are many who would disagree with me, namely my own family. Hey, we can all just agree to disagree, right? I mean, there really is no wrong way to combine peanut butter and chocolate. Of course, I think it’s pretty needless to say that there are some less than healthy ingredients in the name brand Reese’s so that’s why I really like making them at home. There honestly one of the…

Maple Leaf Cream Filled Sandwich Cookies (Vegan)
The leaves have gone from just barely hinting at color to covering the ground in nature’s confetti. Of course, Fall wouldn’t be complete without baking some treats and cookies are always a crowd favorite. So who else loves those Maple leaf cookies from Trader Joe’s? If you’ve never been to TJ’s then you may not know what I’m talking about. These cookies are a classic and have always been a favorite of my mom’s. Now, they’re not exactly health food, obviously, but balance is a good practice and this time of year just needs occasional treats. Besides, a sweet cookie to go with a warm mug of afternoon tea or coffee is just…

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 all my extras…

Chewy Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip Cookies (Vegan)
I’m feeling it, you’re thinking what I’m thinking aren’t you? That this Monday is in serious need of chocolate! So have I told you guys how persistent I am? I mean as a person in general, but I’m especially stubborn when it comes to creating new recipes. I don’t know why but I can’t help it. When I get an idea in my head that I really want to try it’s like I have to make it work or I can’t move on. I guess I can even take this character trait a little bit far sometimes, but hey, can you blame me when there cookie perfection is on the line? Come on. I’ve…

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 visit a pumpkin…
