Vegan Marbled Banana Coffeecake with Pistachio Streusel
Having over ripe bananas is always fun, because it allows me to think of something interesting to make with them! Banana bread is a go to but I thought I’d be a little more creative when I had some recently and make some Vegan Banana Marble Coffeecake with Pistachio Streusel! It turned out so yummy […]
Vegan Banana Bread Muffins
Banana bread has always been my go to for over ripe bananas on the counter. My Mom used to make my Grandma’s recipe for it, which I then veganized and it is always so good! I switch up the add ins, sometimes I will just make it plain, sometimes with chocolate chips, sometimes with nuts […]
Vegan Banana Snickerdoodle Cookies
I make vegan snickerdoodles at work, and they are one of my best selling cookies. I have to say, they would be one of my top choices as well, they are pretty darn delicious with their chewy texture, sweet sugar cookie flavor and aromatic cinnamon sugar coating. Snickerdoodles weren’t something that we made in my […]
Vegan Banana Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting
The deli that I work in makes banana bars with cream cheese frosting that are really popular with the customers. I could not try them however because they are not vegan but they sounded really good to me, so I decided to make my own Vegan Banana Bars with “Cream Cheese” Frosting at home! My […]
Vegan Banana Chocolate Shortcakes
I love a good strawberry shortcake, especially in summer. Other berry shortcakes are good as well, and I have even made an apple shortcake for fall. But it occurred to me when I was making some banana scones the other day that I have never seen a banana shortcake! So I decided to make one […]
Vegan Banana Cake Roll with Cream Cheese Filling
Roll cakes used to intimidate me, but now I find that they are easier to make than a layer cake because the frosting is far less fussy (if they have any). So when I had some over ripe bananas and I was craving banana cake this week, that is what I decided to make. I […]
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 Gingerbread Banana Bread
Last weekend Eric and I drove up north to Banning State Park in Minnesota to enjoy the fall colors, and it was honestly some of the most spectacular scenery I have seen this time of the year. The conditions seem to be just right this year, it stayed warm pretty long, and everything is vibrant […]
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 Banana Caramel Rolls
Easter is coming up next weekend, and although it will be a little different this year, me and my family will still be enjoying good food. Honestly, most years we go out to dinner for Easter, so it will be nice to make some of the traditional things I enjoyed growing up and share with […]
Vegan Chocolate Banana Cream Pie
About 10 years ago, there was a really good local upscale restaurant (that has sadly since closed) that my Mom and I would visit often, and they had amazing banana cream pie. I can’t say that I had eaten much banana cream pie before I had it there, but after I had tried it, I […]
Grandma’s Banana Bread Veganized
My Mom made the best banana bread when I was little. It was my Great Grandma’s recipe, passed down to my Grandma, then to my Mom. Written out on a recipe card, from a time long before we could look up recipes online. I have tried many different kinds, we often had some at church […]
Vegan Banana Bread Granola
Store bought granola has nothing on home made. It is so much fun picking your own flavors and ingredients. Although I have my favorites, I try to switch it up a lot according to what I have on hand and try new things. I always keep a bag of granola in my pantry at all […]
Vegan Banana Hazelnut Chocolate Pancakes
When you get a bunch of free bananas, you make banana goodies. Or freeze them for smoothies, but I already had some in the freezer so I made some banana bread pudding earlier this week, and then these banana hazelnut chocolate chip pancakes this weekend. I guess I am in the mood for brunchy banana […]
Vegan Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Banana Muffins
Last weekend we took a trip up north to Duluth and we had to stop at a couple of gas stations along the way. I don’t usually pay attention to much in a gas station besides where the bathroom is on a road trip, but while I was in there some giant muffins caught my […]
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 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 Roasted Banana Caramel Ice Cream
We all get over-ripe bananas on our counters from time to time, and although you can make banana bread or smoothies, I decided to make some ice cream last week with mine. I know you can make banana nice cream and use just bananas, I think the texture is a little light for me when […]
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 […]
Vegan Banana Almond Cake with “Cream Cheese” Frosting
Back when I was in college, I discovered this awesome cake recipe that quickly became a family favorite, requested for many special occasions. It was a banana almond cake, with moist almond cake layers, and a luscious cream cheese frosting. It was really good. The only problem was, it had loads of refined sugar and […]
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 Mini Caramel Pecan Banana Cream Cheesecakes
I used to have this fabulous banana cream pie recipe that I made quite often when I was in college. It had the most luscious coconut banana cream filling, and sometimes I would even top it off with caramel and pecans for good measure and because it was so good. I always made it in […]
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 […]
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 […]
Vegan Banana Caramel Crepe Cake
I am recently into crepe cakes. I made my first one about a month ago, and I fell in love. It was always something I had wanted to make, but never got around to it. I thought it would be too time consuming, so I always brushed it off. That is until now. I tried […]
Raw Banoffee MylkShake and Raw Cherry Mylkshake
Windy City Organics was kind enough to send me some of their Dastony nut butter to try, one of which was a brazil nut butter. I love brazil nut butter because it is neutral and makes awesome nut mylk. All you need to do is whisk some of it into filtered water, I like to do […]
Vegan Banana Split Parfait
Sometimes I run into writer’s block in the recipe department when I have a lot of other things going on in my life. Luckilly though I have a few special people around me that help to inspire me when I am feeling a little uninspired. I asked Eric what I should make last week, […]
4 Ingredient Banana Cream Pie Popsicles
Although I am all about the fancy desserts sometimes, other times I am all about the super easy ones. And nothing beats popsicles for easy in the summer. Don’t get me wrong, I love my elaborate ice cream flavors, but it is nice to simply blend something, pop it in the freezer and half a day later […]
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 Tutti Frutti Ice Cream
Sprout Living was kind enough to send me some more of their Green Kingdom Epic Protein powder to use in recipes. In case you didn’t catch my other post about it a few months back, this stuff is awesome! Honestly, it is my all time favorite protein powder. It is delicious as well as packed […]
Vegan Hummingbird Cake
I have always wanted to make a hummingbird cake. I have been hearing about them for years, and the old fashioned southern layer cake appealed to me. In case you haven’t heard of them, they are a moist banana and pineapple cake, spiced with cinnamon, studded with pecans, and topped off with cream cheese frosting. […]
Raw Banana Almond Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream
Sprout Living was kind enough to send me some of their protein powder samples to try out and create recipes with. I was super excited because being as active as I am protein powders are always something I use. I love them in smoothies, but I sneak them into other recipes as well. Their […]
