Vegan Maple Date Pumpkin Cakes
I am all about enjoying the pumpkin baked goods lately. It is something I look forward to every year, pumpkin spices and pumpkin treats rolling back around! Last weekend I was in the mood for some pumpkin cake, but I didn’t want to make a giant one, or one I had to frost, so what […]
Vegan Macadamia Chocolate Chunk Date Cookies
Now that fall is just around the corner I feel like it’s a good time to start baking lots of cozy goodies! I’ve always loved macadamia nuts in cookies, ever since I first enjoyed them as a kid. It was usually macadamias paired with white chocolate chips. But I love them paired with dark chocolate […]
Almond Maple Crunch Date Bark
I have been seeing everyone make all kinds of date bark on my social media so I finally decided to give it a try myself! The general idea is to lay out dates, layer things on top of them and top it off with melted chocolate. Sounded pretty dark delicious to me! A lot of […]
Vegan Pumpkin Maple Date Granola
You can feel fall in the air even if it is not technically fall yet. The overly hot days are gone, replaced with cool mornings and moderate temperatures. I love it though! This is my favorite time of year and running outside on a cool morning is refreshing! I have also gotten into baking fall […]
Vegan Tahini Date Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream
Last week was definitely a week for ice cream! It was hot and humid every day, and in the 90s and I felt like I was sweating all day from working out in the morning, being hot in the kitchen at work and driving home in a hot car. So I decided some ice cream […]
Vegan Date Cinnamon Swirl Bread
I always loved cinnamon bread growing up, especially for toast! It was amazing with some butter on it for a breakfast treat! I preferred the plain cinnamon, not the cinnamon raisin because I am not a big raisin fan. But I was thinking recently, you know what would make cinnamon raisin swirl bread better? […]
Date Pecan Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookies
Oats are something that I love so much I have eaten them nearly every day for the past 20 years of my life. I have a bowl of oatmeal in the morning, I never get sick of it and it is one of my favorite things. It has shifted from cooked to overnight oats, but […]
Date and Pistachio Halva
I was recently given some tahini with dates in it, and it was super delicious. Also, it gave me the idea to make some halva with chewy dates! I love dates, they are like nature’s caramel in fruit form. And, I also am a big halva fan, especially ones with delicious add ins you can […]
Vegan Mocha Caramel Ice Cream
It has been a bit warm here lately, so I have been in the mood for frozen desserts and ice cream! Rather than buy it at the store, I make mine at home because it can be spendy there and I like to use more natural ingredients in mine like dates instead of […]
Vegan Caramel Oatmeal Cookie Sandwiches
My Mom asked me last weekend if I could make some date bars in cookie form. Like the oatmeal mixture on the outside and date caramel in the center. We decided that making some oatmeal caramel cookie sandwiches were in order. I have always loved oatmeal sandwich cookies. Ever since I had those oatmeal cream […]
Vegan Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies
Salted caramel anything is amazing as far as I am concerned. There is just something about that balance between the saltiness and the caramel that I love. Maybe also because those are two things that are often craved. Salted caramel chocolate sounds more wonderful than just chocolate, and salted caramel crème brulee more fantastic than […]
Vegan Hazelnut Caramel Bars
When I go to the grocery store I admit I am usually in a hurry to grab what I need then get out. Eric makes fun of me for it, saying I need to slow down sometimes, because I am missing out on things. Surprisingly though I hardly ever forget something. If I do though, […]
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dessert Hummus
I am a huge hummus fan. I know, it is a stereotype that all vegans love hummus, and I fit into it I guess. But I like to have some on hand at all times for snacking on so I make it a lot. I love the classic hummus with chickpeas as the base, and […]
Vegan Coconut Lime Date Bars
I have always loved date bars. They are sweet, and gooey and delicious with a buttery crust and topping. I don’t think they get enough attention from most people, same as dates in general because people probably just think that they are like prunes but they are totally missing out. But dates are nature’s caramel. […]
Vegan Caramel Cashew Chocolate Chunk Cookies
I had a day off all to myself, and it was kind of nice. I slept in, went for a 30 mile bike ride, then decided to make cookies. Why not? The truth is I had been thinking about those cookies my entire bike ride. I come up with some of my best recipes while […]
Vegan Salted Caramel White Chocolates
Everyone always thinks to pair dark chocolate with salt, but why not white chocolate? At least that was what I was pondering last weekend when I decided to make some vegan salted caramel white chocolates. The idea sounded absolutely heavenly! For most of my life, I have thought of myself as mainly a vanilla favoring […]
Raw Salted Caramel Chia Pudding
When I was younger, I used to make rice pudding a lot. Not the baked kind, but the kind made with Arborio rice that you had to sit and stir for a while to make it creamy. I made all sorts of different flavors. Once it was chocolate which I stirred chocolate chunks into at […]
Vegan Sticky Toffee Mocha Pudding
When I was in high school, every Sunday after church my Mom and I would stop at this tiny little local coffee shop. They had the best tasting coffee I had ever had. When I first started going there I would order a dark mocha, and my Mom would order a white chocolate mocha. […]
