Vegan Brownie Caramel Ice Cream Cake
It has been warm every day here in Minnesota, and although I am somewhat getting used to it, ice cream still always sounds good. I like a dish of regular ice cream, but this week I decided that what sounded really good was an ice cream cake! I always loved Dairy Queen ice cream cakes […]
Vegan Pecan Brownies
Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to brownies. Some like the corners, some like the middle pieces, some like a fluffier less dense brownie, and some like it to be super fudgy. When it comes to a brownie, the fudgier the better as far as I am concerned, I am not a cakey […]
Vegan Pumpkin Cheesecake Swirl Brownies
This is a sponsored post, but all opinions are my own I have been craving pumpkin cheesecake lately since we are in the middle of pumpkin season, but I also thought brownies sounded good. So I thought, why not combine them for a fall treat?! I had some Dastony raw cashew butter and coconut butter […]
Vegan Raspberry Truffle Swirl Brownies
I apologize for my lack of new posts lately, but I was busy getting married! I tied the knot last weekend, and now I am officially Amy Lyons O’Neil! We had a lot of fun at our wedding, it was small, about 20 of our family members and closest friends. We had planned on having […]
Vegan Cappucchino Cheesecake Swirl Brownies
I am a coffee fan. It always smelled amazing to me even if for the first part of my life I thought it actually tasted gross. But that may have been because the only time I would try it would be some event at church or something and I tried it plain with nothing in […]
Vegan Mocha Rocky Road Skillet Brownies
I have been wanting to make something rocky road for a while now since I had some leftover marshmallows from the holidays, and I got my chance this week. I had made some vegan brownies at work and they smelled so delicious and inviting I just had to make some of my own at home. […]
Vegan Blackberry Almond Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies
When we visited Eric’s Dad last month, he gave us a bunch of his amazing jam. It is seriously some of the best jam I have ever tasted, made from local fruit he picks in his town in Michigan, and from his own garden. I love it plain or on toast, but it also inspired […]
Vegan Dark Chocolate Mocha Brownies
Nobody can be in a bad mood while baking brownies. Which is why when I am feeling a bit out of sorts, I like to bake some. Which is exactly what I did a few days back after work, because I needed a nice little pick me up. Plus they just sounded good. I have […]
Vegan Dark Chocolate Orange Brownies
I have been loving the combination of chocolate and orange lately. I recently made some Chocolate Orange Hazelnut Cupcakes and they were so good, so I wanted more of that chocolate orange flavor combo. I was in the mood for some brownie baking last weekend, so it seemed like the perfect time to use it […]
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 Maple Pecan Brownie Sundaes
A lot of restaurants have brownie sundaes on their menu. I have seen other people order them, but I have never actually had one of my own. One of the restaurants I went to this year for my Birthday had a brownie sundae that came free if it was your birthday, but it wasn’t vegan […]
Vegan Black Bean Brownies
Last weekend my Mom asked if I could make black bean brownies. She had seen a recipe somewhere and it sounded good to her, plus once one of her coworkers had brought some in and she enjoyed them and she thought I might be able to make a vegan version. She isn’t vegan but she […]
Vegan Peppermint Mocha Brownies with CBD Fudge Sauce
We have had a pretty wet and rainy week here in Minnesota. On the up side the snow melting but on the downside we have giant puddles. Now this could be fun if you don your rain boots and enjoy seeing how big of a splash you can make while jumping into them. Not so […]
Vegan Rocky Road Brownies
It’s kind of like rocky road here in Minnesota when you try to go running or walking outside right now on the trails. Because it was warm and it froze, there is a lot of ice and snow which can make footing tricky, but I still love to get out and get some fresh air. […]
Vegan Almond Butter Brownies
Almond butter has come a long way since I first had it when I was younger. Back then I thought it was some gross nut butter that was super thick and didn’t spread nicely like peanut butter did. But now most commercial brands are nice and smooth and have a nice sweet almond flavor. Like […]
Vegan Strawberries and Cream Brownies
I spent most of last weekend outside, going for long bike rides and walks, because I feel like we haven’t seen the sun or warmth like this in forever. I mean, Winter lasted an extra 2 months, and now I feel like Summer has arrived and we have skipped Spring weather wise. It is ok […]
Vegan Dark Chocolate Raspberry Brownies
I am in a chocolate mood lately. So on my day off last weekend I decided that some brownie baking was in order. The weather was pretty chilly so I didn’t feel like spending much time outside, so it was the perfect time to be a kitchen hermit. By that I mean spending most of […]
Vegan Nutella Swirl Brownies
I saw a recipe for Nutella brownies on Pinterest, and I said to myself, “I have to veganize those!!!” I have tons of hazelnut butter on hand, and was in a chocolate craving mood so it was perfect! I never buy actual real Nutella anymore because it is not vegan and contains mostly sugar and […]
Vegan Triple Chocolate Brownies
Brownies remind me of good times and happy memories. They remind me of cross country banquets in high school that I used to bake them for, or late night baking with my friend up at camp, or that one time my Mom baked them and the cat decided that she wanted some too and licked […]
Vegan Snickers Swirl Brownies
I have been wanting to make brownies for a couple of weeks now, and I finally got around to it on Wednesday. Maybe I just made it happen because I was day dreaming about them on my 7 mile run that morning. Yes, I sometimes dream about recipes and come up with ideas when I […]
Vegan Pink Velvet Cheesecake Swirl Brownies
One of my all time favorite relaxing activities is baking something delicious in the kitchen. So, last Monday I decided to bake some brownies since it was my day off. I haven’t made any in quite a while, so it was about time! I knew I wanted to make something really good, and something chocolate. […]
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 Milky Way Swirl Brownies
Fall is in full swing, the leaves are falling from the trees, there is a chill in the air, and I am feeling really good because I love this moderate/cool weather. It is the perfect time of the year for a long run, walk outside in the woods to admire the trees, or trip to […]
Vegan Caramel Pecan Cheesecake Swirl Brownies
One time, back when I was in high school, I had to bring a dessert to a cross country banquet to share, and my Mom decided to make brownies. Now mind you, we did not make them from scratch, we bought the mixes at the store, and at that point in my life I could […]
Vegan Miso Almond Brownie Cakes with Caramel
I love white miso. It has a delicious sweet and salty sort of flavor. Some people are weird about it, like, euw, miso, because it is a fermented product, but it is delicious and as you know, I love to ferment things like sauerkraut and kombucha. So I don’t mind the fact that it is […]
Vegan High Protein Hemp Brownie Tart
Sprout Living was kind enough to send me some of their amazing protein powders to create recipes with and I could not have been more excited when the package arrived. I always love getting things in the mail, and their protein powder is good stuff. If you have not tried it, it is raw, vegan, […]
Mini Vegan German Chocolate Brownies
Baking brownies is one of my favorite things to do on my day off. Procrastibaking…putting off the other things I should be doing, and baking instead. But that is what I should be doing on my day off, enjoying myself, right?! And I do enjoy baking brownies. How can anyone not be in a good […]
Vegan Raspberry Cheesecake Brownies
What do you do when you are stuck at home in a snowstorm? Bake brownies of course. Yesterday, we had a really snowy day where it dumped about 6 inches while I was at work and was still going the rest of the night, and it was a really scary drive home. I drive like a […]
Mini Vegan Hazelnut Dark Chocolate Brownies
I have always wanted a mini brownie pan. Lots of people’s favorite brownies are the brownies at the edge of the pan after all, and with a mini brownie pan, you get edge with every bite! Eric knows how much I love all of my different dessert pans, and trying out new baking gadgets, so […]
Vegan Peppermint Cheesecake Brownies
I was in a big brownie sort of mood on my day off. It was raining and sleeting outside, it was dark and dreary…but I was in a good mood! Because I was in my kitchen in my pjs listening to Christmas music and whipping up a batch of brownies! Now who wouldn’t be in […]
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. […]
Raw Fudgy Matcha Mint Brownies
Matcha makes me happy. That happy color along with the earthy aroma and flavor is something that I love. I have always been a green tea fan, ever since I was young which is odd because I didn’t always like other types of tea, just green. I knew I enjoyed drinking a warm cup of it, and […]
Raw Maca Mocha Love Brownies
Everyone has one of THOSE days once in a while. You know, the ones where you wake up on the wrong side of the bed, you get to work and realize your pants are on inside out, you keep messing things up or dropping things, and you feel like you can’t do anything right…then the […]
