Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Layer Cake
Eric told me that his favorite cake I had ever made was a Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Layer Cake I made for his birthday a few years back. So I decided to make one again this year! Chocolate peanut butter is after all one of the best combinations ever! So I made my chocolate cake […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Truffle Blossom Cookies
Every Christmas my Grandma would make tons of cookies and treats of different varieties then gift people tins or plates of them. She would always make spritz cookies, rosettes, krumkake, divinity, and peanut blossoms. The peanut blossoms were my favorite. They were also my Dad’s favorite, I think he could have just eaten a whole […]
Vegan Spider Web Peanut Butter Cups
Peanut butter cups are my all time favorite Halloween candy. Or just favorite candy growing up in general. Whenever we would get home with our stash of Halloween candy, we would dump it out on the floor and divide it into piles of what we wanted to keep and what we wanted to trade. I […]
Vegan Chocolate Dipped Maple Peanut Butter Ice Cream Pops
We have been all about the ice cream lately. Why not, since it is the peak of summer! I have been enjoying mostly the scoopable variety of ice cream. But Eric bought some chocolate dipped peanut butter ice cream popsicles at the store, and they sounded so good that I decided to make my own, […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Lava Cakes
A few years back I had seen peanut butter lava cakes pop up a few times on Pinterest and said to myself, I have to make those. They just looked too good not to try making. Of course the ones that I had seen were not at all vegan, full of sugar, dairy and eggs. […]
Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse Tart with Pretzel Crust
Back in the day I used to make a simple chocolate mousse that was just two ingredients. Whipped cream and chocolate. You whipped the cream to soft peaks then folded in melted dark chocolate. It was one of the most delicious things ever, so simple but so good. A few bites were satisfying but I […]
Vegan Peanut Butter and Jelly Layer Cake
I think I lived on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch for a while when I was little. I didn’t really like other types of sandwiches at that point (I hated everything with lunch meat, makes sense that I am vegan now) and they were just so darn delicious! My Mom always bought raspberry […]
Vegan Banana Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cupcakes
Last weekend I was in the mood for something sweet. Cake sounded good, but what kind to make? Well, when I saw the huge pile of bananas on my counter when I got home, I decided something with banana was in order. I had enough bananas in the freezer for smoothies so I needed to […]
Chocolate Marbled Peanut Butter Halva
I have loved halva ever since I started buying it at a local shop a few years back. I still occasionally get down to the shop, but I also started to make my own at home. I have made it a few times now, and Eric loves it so much that the batch is usually […]
Vegan Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirled Banana Bread
Banana bread was always one of my favorite baked goods growing up. Whenever we had over ripe bananas on hand, my Mom would make my Grandma’s banana bread recipe, and it was always so good. She would usually swap out the nuts for chocolate chips and that was my favorite way to enjoy […]
Vegan PB and J Ice Cream Sandwiches
It has been quite steamy outside here in Minnesota lately, so it is the perfect time to enjoy cool treats like ice cream! I have been wanting to make some, and Eric and I had been watching a video on YouTube about this place that makes all sorts of different ice cream sandwiches, and it […]
PB and J Chocolate Chip Energy Bites
In case you are wondering why I haven’t been posting as many new recipes lately, it is because my kitchen is in the process of being remodeled and I have had limited access to it off and on. Which makes me a little less motivated to make anything that can’t be made in the instant […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Banana Granola
I made a chocolate peanut butter roll cake last week, and it was so good that I am keeping the chocolate peanut butter theme going. Not with a dessert this time though, with a delicious snack! My last batch of granola was running low, and it is something that I need to keep in my […]
Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Roll Cake
I was craving chocolate cake last week, but I didn’t want a layer cake, so I made a rolled one! It may sound harder to make a rolled cake, but it is actually easier and faster once you get the hang of it. Plus you don’t have to frost anything perfectly which is nice sometimes. […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Eggs
I used to get excited about Easter candy growing up. Those pretty pastel wrappers, and getting to enjoy things I didn’t the rest of the year like Robin’s Eggs malted milk balls, raspberry cream eggs, and Reese’s peanut butter eggs. I wasn’t a big fan of those big jelly beans though, they had a weird […]
Vegan Tagalong Cookies
Tis’ the season for Girl Scout cookies. I used to love them growing up, especially the Samoas and Tagalongs, but my Dad always bought the Thin Mints as well. So now as an adult, I like to make my own home made versions. I know there are vegan Girl Scout cookies but I would rather […]
Vegan Peanut Butter and Jelly Sweet Rolls
I have made classic caramel rolls, and cinnamon rolls but I thought I would make something a little different last weekend as far as rolls went because I am always open to trying new things when it comes to making recipes! I has some of Eric’s Dad’s home made jam and I thought […]
Vegan Peanut Butter and Jelly Brownies
I don’t know about you, but the combination of peanut butter and jelly is one of the best things ever! I have been craving a peanut butter and jelly dessert, so I was super excited when my boyfriend Eric’s Dad sent me some of his home made jam. It is the best jam ever, seriously. […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Swirled Cheesecake
Back when I first went vegan, I was really into raw style cheesecakes. I say raw style because they were not always technically raw, but they did not need cooking and many of the ingredients were raw. I probably made at least 75 different ones, because there was a point at which I made one […]
Vegan Peanut Butter and Jelly Cheesecake
I have been wanting to make a peanut butter and jelly cheesecake lately. It all started a few weeks back when I made some peanut butter and jelly ice cream, and peanut butter and jelly white chocolates and I was going to make the cake right away but I decided to wait until my Birthday! […]
Vegan White Chocolate Peanut Butter and Jelly Cups
I am a bit obsessed with peanut butter and jelly lately. I made some peanut butter and jelly ice cream last weekend, I am contemplating making a PB and J cheesecake for my Birthday in a few weeks, and I decided to make some vegan white chocolate peanut butter and jelly cups too last weekend. […]
Vegan Peanut Butter and Jelly Ice Cream
It was really warm here in Minnesota last weekend. We really haven’t had any hot weather yet this year until now (we have been lucky), but now that we are almost to the 4th of July it is about time. I was day dreaming about some delicious cold ice cream on one of my runs […]
Vegan Peanut Butter and Dark Chocolate Pop Tarts
So last weekend I decided to make some chocolate peanut butter pop tarts. I know I just made raspberry pop tarts last week, but a friend asked me if I could make some involving chocolate too, so I couldn’t resist making them again. The other ones were so good after all and I did love […]
Vegan Peanut Butter and Jelly Banana Bread
Having over ripe bananas on your counter is a blessing as far as I am concerned. You can freeze them and use them for smoothies, or of course do some baking. There are so many things you can make! But I decided to go for an old classic banana bread when I had some ripe […]
Vegan Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich Cookies
When I was little, pretty much the only sandwiches I wanted to eat were grilled cheese, and peanut butter and jelly. I was not a fan of sandwiches with lunch meat. So my lunches were always peanut butter and jelly. I didn’t complain. It was always raspberry jam if my Mom made it and Strawberry […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Cup Presents
I am obsessed with chocolate and peanut butter, it is no secret as I have probably 40 recipes featuring the combo on my blog. But you know what my favorite chocolate and peanut butter dessert is? Just plain old PB cups. Well, not plain, it is actually a party in my mouth when I eat […]
Vegan Peanut Butter White Chocolates
I love white chocolate and I love peanut butter, so I figured, why not make some peanut butter white chocolate?! I mean, yes I could have just made white chocolate peanut butter cups, and I did make those recently. But I had another motive for making these. My Mom recently requested that I make some […]
Black and White Peanut Butter Cups
It is no secret that I love chocolate and peanut butter together. I have about 50 chocolate and peanut butter recipes on this blog. Yes, I am a little, obsessed. Or maybe I just know what I like, and I figure that some of you out there have a similar mind set when it comes […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Pancakes
I am a peanut butter and chocolate fanatic. I even have a round up of 30+ Vegan Chocolate and Peanut Butter Recipes! Growing up, Reese’s peanut butter cups were my all time favorite candy, and now my own home made peanut butter cups are. It is just an irresistible combination! So a few days back […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Banana Cream Pie
I think banana cream pie is an under rated dessert. I mean, apple pie, pumpkin pie and key lime pie get all of the attention. Don’t get me wrong, I love all of those pies, and I love pie in general but banana cream pie is bomb, and I don’t see it around very often. […]
Vegan Peanut Butter and Jelly Cobbler
I basically lived off of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch when I was a kid. I did not like meat at all, so sandwiches with meat were out of the question. So, my Mom would make me good old PB and J. It was always with raspberry jam, and that ended up being […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Hearts
When it came to Valentine’s Day candy when I was little, hands down the Reese’s peanut butter hearts were my favorite. You know, the giant ones that were almost the size of a candy bar, not just the little fun sized ones. I always hoped to get those from my Grandma, who would every year […]
Vegan PB & J Cupcakes
I make a dessert every weekend, it is just a thing I do. Not something simple like cookies, usually a cake, or a pie, or cheesecake. Something worth getting super excited over. Not that cookies are not exciting, but they just don’t get me going like cakes and pies do. I usually come up with […]
Vegan 5 Spice Peanut Butter Cookies
When I was younger I used to like to go to a local spice shop and walk around and open all of the sample jars and smell them. Even if I had already smelled them before, it was all part of the experience of shopping there. Some things smelled better than others of course, and […]
Raspberry White Chocolate Chunk Peanut Butter
When I was in high school shopping with my Mom at the store, I came across a jar of the most amazing sounding peanut butter ever. It was raspberry white chocolate. I begged my Mom to buy it, and it was pretty amazing. Up until that point, I hadn’t seen anything but the standard peanut […]
Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Cookies
I think cookies are the perfect way to end a long weekend. Don’t you think? I had a 3 day weekend because I took Saturday off (my normal day to work) for Twin Cities Veg Fest. Which I visited with Eric, because last year I enjoyed it so much and he had never been. There […]
Thai Peanut Popcorn
Eric and I were shopping the other day at a local mall and we walked past a vendor with many different popcorn flavors. He is always temped to buy stuff like that, and I admit it always smells good and brings back childhood memories. But I always say, “I can make some better popcorn at […]
Vegan PB & J Mug Cakes
It has been pretty much raining here every day for over a week now. It is a little depressing outside on one hand, and not so motivating to wake up to no sunshine, but on the other hand, everything is looking really green outside and the rain is kind of calming. I did my first […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Miso Caramel Corn
The popcorn at the movies always smells so good. It is so tempting, but just knowing all of the artificial chemicals and flavors that might be in it, not to mention dairy, and GMO corn I never buy any. Not only that, I was at a movie with Eric a few weekends ago and seriously […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Fudge Ice Cream Sundae
My Mom brought me a bag of Spanish peanuts from Trader Joes, and asked me if I would make her a vegan Peanut Buster Parfait. Of course I couldn’t resist, because I love veganizing things. If you have never heard of a Peanut Buster Parfait, it is a sundae from Dairy Queen with vanilla soft serve, […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Love Cake
If I could eat a whole jar of peanut butter I would. I love the stuff, and I always have since I was a little kid. Reese’s peanut butter cups were something I looked forward to on the holidays where chocolate was included, and peanut butter sandwiches were a staple in my school lunches since […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Doughnuts
Some of the best things in life are free. Long runs on chilly mornings, smiles, watching beautiful sunsets, cuddling, kind words. Also old bananas that the store gives you for free, because they can’t sell them. One man’s trash is another man’s (well, in this case woman’s) treasure. Over ripe bananas are baking gold! Or […]
Mini Vegan Whatchamacallit Bars
Eric occasionally asks me to make him things that he used to enjoy as a child, and the latest was a vegan Whatchamacallit bar. If you haven’t heard of them, they are chocolate bars with peanut butter crisp and caramel. To be completely honest, I think the last time I had one was probably in […]
Vegan Mini Peanut Butter Brownie Cupcakes
Sometimes it is hard to get motivated to go outside in the Winter. It used to be easy for me, I spent 3 of my Winters in high school outside for Nordic skiing every day after school, even if it was below zero. My coach said there is no such thing as bad weather if […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Banana pancakes were one of the first vegan recipes I made back in the day. The Summer I was teaching myself to cook, and I had gotten a bunch of vegetarian and vegan cookbooks from the library to page through. I was a pretty new vegetarian with not much cooking experience but I wanted to […]
Vegan Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake Roll
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! I know I did, spending time with family enjoying good food and relaxing. Despite the freezing rain on Christmas day, it was all in all a good Christmas! This year for my dessert, I decided to make something that was traditional, yet non-traditional at the same time. […]
Vegan Inside Out Peanut Butter Cups
Peanut butter and chocolate have always been at the top of my list. If I had a choice of candy growing up, it was always a peanut butter cup over everything else. I am sure many of you agree, it is a match made in heaven after all! Even when I don’t have peanut butter […]
Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Cake with Peanut Butter Fudge Frosting
One time I found out Eric threw out some over ripe bananas. “What were you thinking?!” I asked. “You should have given them to me!” I said. I mean, he knows I freeze them for smoothies, and can make some bomb vegan desserts with them (which I always share with him). Not just banana bread, […]
Vegan Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies
I am sure a lot of you might think I am crazy when I say this, but growing up, Oreos were never my favorite cookies. Even as a kid, I could tell that they were not like my Grandma’s delicious home made cookies. Something tasted off about them. I now know it is because there […]
Vegan Coffee Caramel Peanut Butter Ice Cream
There was a point in time where I drank coffee in the morning like it was water. I would have 3 32 oz mugs before noon from the time I was in college until about 4 years ago. I liked coffee, but I always drank it so fast (because I am busy most mornings) that […]
Vegan Mini Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecakes
When I was younger I used to browse recipes online and cook books from the library and actually make them exactly as they were. But now I rarely do that. Because of course, most of the recipes I come across that look really good to me are not vegan, and I didn’t used to be […]
Vegan White Chocolate Raspberry Peanut Butter Cups
One of my favorite things about Summer is the raspberries. Being able to buy fresh, local organic ones at the store or even better, finding them on my walks when I am in the woods. It is like finding treasure when you come across raspberries, they are like little edible jewels! I remember my Dad […]
Vegan PB & J Pop-Tarts
I was never much of a fan of pop-tarts when I was little truth be told, especially not the fruit ones, they tasted artificial to me. Probably because there was loads of sugar and artificial ingredients. The only ones I kind of liked were the cinnamon sugar. I did however love pie and pastries, just […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Bread
It has been a very long time since I made banana bread. I used to make it often when I was younger. I remember it was one of the first things I attempted to bake at home when I was in middle school. Using my Grandma’s recipe written on a worn out card. Those were […]
Just Vegan Cakes and Recipe for Peanut Butter Banana Layer Cake
I am excited to announce, that I have just released my third cookbook, “Just Vegan Cakes“! I have been working on it for over a year, making delicious cake recipes every weekend and gathering them together to share with you all. I can not tell you how excited I am for this moment to have […]
Vegan PB & J Popcorn
I haven’t eaten a peanut butter and jelly sandwich since I was in high school, but I still love peanut butter and jelly together…especially in dessert. The truth is I never really liked sandwich bread, and I preferred to eat my peanut butter and jelly on crackers when I was young, or straight out of […]
Funky Monkey Quinoa Breakfast Porridge
Most people think of quinoa as something savory to mix vegetables into or serve as a side dish, but it also makes a wonderful porridge for breakfast. I am a fan of porridge for breakfast, usually oatmeal though. But I decided to try making something different and used quinoa. This actually ended up being a […]
PB & Chocolate Dessert Popcorn
Eric and I were shopping the other day when I saw the popcorn in the bulk section, and decided that it sounded really good and I wanted to buy some. My idea of the perfect popcorn is really simple. Just popped on the stove with a little coconut oil and sea salt. So good. And […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Cup Cupcakes
My favorite Halloween candy was always peanut butter cups. Not that I didn’t love snickers and twix, because I did love anything chocolate. There was just something special about the chocolate and peanut butter combination. I would always trade for it if I could, but it was hard because my friends loved it too. I […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Dessert Hummus
I have been on a huge hummus kick lately, and when I was making my last batch of hummus, I thought I would go about it a little differently and make something sweet. Yep! You heard right, sweet hummus. It may sound weird, but actually it turned out wonderful! People make cookie dough from chickpeas […]
Raw Caramel Peanut Clusters
Just as you should never judge a book by its cover, or a person by their looks, you should never judge a food only by its appearance. Unless it has mold or something…but that is not what I am talking about. I am talking about freshly made food here. I have had so many people […]
Vegan Salted Caramel Peanut Butter Brownies
Mondays are my day off. So, besides sleeping in I like to bake things! I thought long and hard about what I wanted to make last Monday, and I decided on brownies. I know I have made many forms of brownies to share with you all, but they just sounded so good I couldn’t resist. […]
Vegan Peanut Butter S’mores Mousse Pie
I have been wanting to make a s’mores pie for quite some time now. Ever since I discovered aquafaba marshmallows a few months back. Pie making has become my Friday night thing to do lately, so last Friday I decided I needed to make this pie I had been dreaming about. Eric loved the idea […]
Vegan Fluffernutter Doughnuts
I have been wanting to make doughnuts again for a few weeks now, and then when I finally got around to it I could not decide on a flavor. You see, there are so many different possibilities, all of which sounded amazing. So whenever I have a problem like that I talk to Eric and […]
Amy’s Vegan Monster Cookies
Monster cookies used to be a weekly thing I made back in college, since I would bring them to cross country meet for the team to enjoy after the race. We all loved them, but there was someone else who loved them even more. My Dad. To this day, he asks me often, “When […]
Raw Peanut Butter and Chocolate Dream Bars
If you read this blog often, then you know I have a thing for chocolate and peanut butter. Hasn’t changed since I had my first peanut butter cup and fell in love. So, every so often I just have to make a peanut butter and chocolate dessert. I do not think I will ever tire […]
Vegan Fluffernutter Sandwich Cookies
Ever since I discovered vegan marshmallow fluff made with aquafaba, I have wanted to make something fluffernutter. Mostly because I have never actually had anything fluffernutter…and it is a fun word to say, and the combination sounds delicious to someone craving salty and sweet. Also, I have had really good luck with my marshmallow fluff, […]
Raw Peanut Butter and Jelly Cream Pie
Today I turn 30. But I still feel 21. I know I have done a lot of growing up in the last 10 years, but I don’t think I will ever think of myself as my actual age. I still enjoy things like wearing Hello Kitty Bandaids, running through sprinklers (even if it is during […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Banana Blondie Tart
Someone recently asked me what my guilty pleasure food is. You might be surprised when you hear it was not cake, or ice cream or French fries…it was peanut butter. Yes peanut butter. I could eat a whole jar if I could. That stuff is so addictive. Luckilly though I am satisfied with a few […]
Raw Peanut Butter Buckwheat Crispy Bars
Last week my Mom and I were discussing rice crispy bars. I was saying that the best kind when I was young were the ones with the peanut butter in the crispy part topped off with chocolate. I could have cared less about the regular ones with just marshmallows, it had to be the special […]
Chocolate Chunk Swirled Peanut Butter
I love my peanut butter. One of my favorite simple desserts/snacks is sliced banana drizzled with peanut butter and it tastes as good to me as a piece of cake that is how much I love it. Add in some chopped raw chocolate, and even better. Which got me to thinking, what if I […]
Raw Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Energy Bars
I never leave the house without a snack on hand if I know I am going to be somewhere long. I guess I take after my Grandma, who always brought us kids snacks whenever we would go anywhere. She was always prepared. We would never go hungry with Grandma around. And it wasn’t just […]
Raw Butterfinger Eggs
I have made Raw Maca Peanut Butter Eggs, Raw Raspberry Cream Eggs, and Raw Vanilla Bean White Chocolate Eggs…but I did not want to stop there. What other candy eggs could I make? Then it came to me. Butterfinger eggs! I loved the mini ones that they used to have when I was little, and […]
Raw Tag-Along Tart
I made some Raw Tag-Alongs since it is Girl Scout season, and they were so good that I thought I should make another Tag Along dessert as well. I never tire of the chocolate and peanut butter combo, I am in love with it. I thought the Tag Alongs deserved some more time in the […]
Raw Tag-Along Cookies
I like to make Girl Scout cookie inspired desserts sometimes. Maybe it is because I loved those things as a child and I have good memories of enjoying them. I know if I ate them as an adult it would not quite be the same though since my taste buds and body are no longer […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chunk Cupcakes
Emma over at Zimt Artisan Chocolates was kind enough to send me a bunch of products to try, one of which was dark chocolate baking pieces. I know they are called baking pieces, but seriously these are great for snacking on just as is. But since I wanted to try them in a recipe as well, […]
