Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Pop Tarts
I loved Nutella as a kid. I remember thinking it was pretty awesome that I could have chocolate on toast for breakfast (because it pretty much just tasted like chocolate with not much nut flavor since it is so sugary). It is pretty much dessert after all. My Mom wouldn’t let me eat it […]
Vegan Chocolate Orange Hazelnut Cupcakes
Chocolate and oranges are a match made in heaven. My Mom used to buy dark chocolate oranges, shaped like an actual orange with sections when I was little and I thought they were the coolest thing ever. I mean chocolate is already the coolest, but make it shaped like and orange with orange flavor, even […]
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 Chocolate Hazelnut Silk Pie
Pumpkin, pecan and apple were always staples at Thanksgiving growing up, and I made pumpkin and apple pies before Thanksgiving this year earlier in the season, but this year I decided to make a chocolate hazelnut pie specifically for Thanksgiving. I was thinking something similar to French silk pie but with hazelnut because chocolate sounded […]
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 Chocolate Raspberry Jam Bars
I recently had dinner with my Mom at a local cafe and we were looking at the dessert case on the way out. There were beautiful cakes and tarts but the thing that caught our eye were some raspberry chocolate bars. They had a crunchy chocolate streusel on top as well as chocolate chips and […]
Double Hazelnut Chocolate Truffles
You know what always makes me happy? the aroma of nuts roasting in the oven. they always smell amazing and they are just begging to be snacked on as soon as they are cool enough to not burn you. Sometimes I am a little hasty I admit and I do end up burning my mouth. […]
Vegan Hazelnut Flourless Chocolate Cake
I appreciate rich, dark chocolate much more this time of the year for some reason. Maybe because it is kind of like sweet comfort food, or because Valentine’s Day is just around the corner so I feel like chocolate is in order, but whatever the reason, I find myself enjoying it more lately. Mostly just […]
Vegan Chocolate Mint Hazelnut Thumb Print Cookies
I love making Christmas cookies. When I was little, my Mom and I would always pick out many different kinds then spend the day in the kitchen listening to Christmas music making them and afterwards we would put them all in a big container to enjoy for the Holidays and to give away. We would […]
Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Swirled Pumpkin Pie
I made a double chocolate pecan pie last weekend, and saved half in the freezer for Thanksgiving, and I thought I should make a pumpkin pie too, since it wouldn’t be right not to have both. I don’t know about you, but when I was a kid, I thought that the dessert was the […]
Vegan Chai Spiced Pear Cakes with Hazelnut Chocolate Glaze
So far Fall in Minnesota has been a rather chilly rainy one, the temperatures in the 30s and 40s most days with rain for 2 weeks straight it felt like until this week so we have all been bundling up. But finally we got a few lovely dry days in the 60s. This is the […]
Vegan Hazelnut Bliss Bars
About 5 years ago, I made some really amazing raw hazelnut bars with some hazelnut spreads that Rawmio sent me. They had a chocolate crust, a layer of plain hazelnut cream and a layer of chocolate hazelnut cream with chocolate on top. They were amazing! Well, fast forward to now, when I was looking through […]
Mini Vegan Nutella Mousse Tarts
When I was little, I loved Nutella. I loved having Nutella toast, it was like having dessert for breakfast. After all, the real Nutella has sugar as the main ingredient and is super sweet. My 10 year old self loved that. When I visited Europe in high school, I ate Nutella on baguettes almost every […]
Vegan Hazelnut Crunch White Chocolate Truffles
It snowed for 2 days here, and I really didn’t feel like going outside. I had to go to work, and drive home in a scary blizzard, but after that I just hunkered down until the snow stopped. It was the perfect time to make some truffles. I can’t imagine a better way to make […]
Vegan Nutella Truffles
I used to think Nutella was pretty awesome when I was little. I mean, I could eat chocolate on toast for breakfast and it was considered ok. When I made a trip to Europe with my French class in high school, I ate nutella on baguettes or croissants every day. What’s not to love about […]
White Chocolate Hazelnut Pecan Butter
I love me some nut butters. At any given time you will find at least 8 different kinds in my pantry. I make about 3 a week, because I use it in recipes, and of course just straight up eat it. I mean is there any better quick comfort food than a big spoon of […]
Vegan Hazelnut Crusted Apple Pie
I ran my second race of the season Friday, and it was a bit challenging, but I like a challenge. The course was not fast and flat like the previous one I had done, and I had gone into this thinking I was going to break my time from a few weeks back because I […]
5 Ingredient Vegan Blackberry Hazelnut Ice Cream
When I bought an ice cream maker about 10 years back, I had no idea how much I would use it. But I ended up using it almost every week for a few years. I originally bought it because I wanted to create healthier ice cream than the store bought that wasn’t full of weird […]
Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Scones
I made some home made Nutella last week, and it got me wanting to make more hazelnut stuff. It was just so good, so addictive. Like you can’t have just one spoonful. That is the problem with me and nut butter. Anyways, I decided to make chocolate hazelnut scones. I see my coworker making scones […]
Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Berry Cake
The best things in life are free. Going for a run and taking in the fresh air. Smelling the lilacs. The sunshine. Taking in the beauty of nature God has created. I have been appreciating all of this lately. Work can be busy and stressful, bills can get expensive, and things don’t always go as […]
Raw Hazelnut Chocolate Mylk
My boyfriend Eric has always been a big milk drinker, and even though dairy bothers his stomach, he still won’t give it up for long. I am always trying to get him to buy plant based vegan milks, because of course I don’t believe in drinking animal milk in the first place, and I don’t […]
Vegan Hazelnut Truffle Eggs
Easter is coming up, so I thought it was about time I made some Easter treats. When I was little, I was never a big fan of the jelly beans and Peeps. I was all about the chocolate candies. Reese’s peanut butter eggs were my favorite. I have made my own before in recent years […]
Vegan Hazelnut Butter Cardamom Chocolate Chunk Cookies
I bought a big old bag of hazelnuts recently, just to switch things up a bit. I am usually always buying almonds or walnuts, but the hazelnuts just sounded really good. I toasted a big pan to use in recipes, then ended up making most of it into hazelnut butter…which was really good. I snacked […]
Vegan Triple Berry Cobbler with Hazelnut Biscuits
I was craving something fruity…like a pie or crumble, but I was also craving scones…what to make? This is what I was thinking about on my walk after work on Friday. I had lots of berries and I knew I was going to use those, but I equally wanted a pie (for all of that […]
Vegan Blueberry Pluot Galette with Hazelnut Oat Crust
I was really craving some blueberry pie last week. But I had two problems. First, not enough blueberries to make a whole pie, and second, not enough time to make a pie. Because all that rolling and chilling and shaping, then waiting an hour for it to bake…yeah I did not have time. But I got […]
Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Macaroons
I was given some hazelnut meal and the first thought I had was to pair it with chocolate. I was always a big fan of Nutella growing up, but I am an even bigger fan of home made hazelnut and chocolate butter. The flavor is just wonderful! Hence the hazelnut and chocolate choice for the […]
Vegan Chocolate Dipped Hazelnut Butter Cookies with Raspberries and a Giveaway!
Windy City Organics was kind enough to send me some Dastony Nut Butters to create recipes with, and I could not have been more excited. In case you haven’t noticed before I am in love with all things nut butter. I have at least 6 types in my pantry at all times. One of the nut […]
