Vegan Iced Oatmeal Cookies

  My husband Eric recently was telling me how much he loved iced oatmeal cookies when he was younger, and so I decided to make some last weekend.  I love oatmeal cookies too, and I remember enjoying the iced ones also when I was younger.  I have never made a veganized version so I thought […]

Vegan Strawberry Lemon Pistachio Oatmeal Cookies

I am so ready for spring!  The weather is finally getting warmer, and I think the snow is behind us finally.  Just waiting for the grass to be greener and everything to start blooming but I am just happy to be enjoying time outside with it above 50 degrees.  I am also all about the […]

Cherry Maple Pecan Oatmeal Cookies

You would think that I would be sick of cookies after it being Christmas cookie season, but that isn’t the case.  My Mom gave me some dried cherries and pecans and asked me to whip up a batch of Cherry Maple Pecan Cookies, and I said why not?! They sounded super delicious after all.  Oatmeal […]

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 […]

Blueberry Pecan Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies

I feel like fall is always too short.  I know it is still technically fall, but I mean the weather itself, I miss those moderate fall days where you just need a light jacket, and your hands don’t freeze when you go out for a walk.  It has snowed here a couple of days this […]

Vegan Giant Irish Oatmeal Skillet Cookie

My Mom loves oatmeal cookies more than anyone I know, and ever since I made that Giant Double Chocolate Skillet Cookie last month, she has been asking me if I could make a giant Irish oatmeal cookie for St. Patrick’s Day. Of course I had to make it. Because it did sound amazing, and I […]

Vegan Almond Oatmeal Cookie Sandwiches with White Chocolate Cream

When I was little, I liked Little Debbie snacks.  In fact, I considered them the best part of my lunch back in the day when my Mom would pack my lunch in middle school.  I liked those vanilla cake rolls with the strawberry cream filling and those little pink frosted heart cakes, but what I […]

Vegan Chocolate Covered Raisin Oatmeal Cookies

There is always the age old debate when it comes to classic oatmeal cookies.  You have the chocolate chip side and the raisin side.  I find that most people hate one but love the other.  The deli I work in makes both, and I find that the oatmeal chocolate chip tend to go faster than […]

Vegan Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

My Mom bought me a bag of cranberries and asked if I would make her some cranberry oatmeal cookies.  Of course I wasn’t going to say no.  Any excuse to bake cookies, I am in!  Oatmeal cookies are her favorite, and I think if she could eat them for breakfast every day she would.  She […]

Vegan Fig Almond Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

I was gifted a few bags of dried figs, and I decided that I wanted to make something delicious with them.  I could have just snacked on them of course, and I did with some, but they deserved to be used in something exciting.  I thought about it all day at work.  Maybe some fig […]

Vegan Oatmeal Caramel Cookie Bars

My Mom is always asking me to veganize recipes she finds on pinterest or sees somewhere at a restaurant or bakery. And, I am happy to do so.  I love to create new vegan recipes, especially for non-vegans because often then they see that you do not need animal products to create delicious things.  My […]

Vegan Irish Oatmeal Cookies

I love my oatmeal.  I have had a bowl of oatmeal almost every day for the past 10 years, because it is my favorite breakfast.  My Mom always told me that oatmeal cookies were the healthiest too, because the oats supposedly canceled out the sugar.  Wishful thinking I guess, but it is good to have […]

Vegan Macadamia Coconut White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

Macadamia white chocolate cookies seemed exotic to me as a kid.  I remember getting them at bakeries or stores whenever I was allowed to pick out a cookie, and they were so good!  At that point in my life I was a white chocolate kind of a girl (I still choose vanilla over chocolate, not […]

Vegan Apple Spice Oatmeal Cookies

Local apple season is now here!  I am excited about visiting the apple orchards, walking the rows of trees, and getting some of my favorite varieties.  I haven’t gotten a chance to do that yet, but I was able to pick up some Honey Crisp apples, my favorite kind at the store I work in.  They […]

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Energy Bites

Oatmeal cookies were always one of my favorites when I was younger.  Not the ones with raisins…the ones with chocolate chips.  Because the caramel flavor of the brown sugar in the cookie with the chocolate chunks or chips was absolutely heavenly.  I used to make big batches of them and sell them at my Dad’s […]

PB & J Overnight Oats

I have eaten oatmeal every morning for breakfast since I was 16, and I am still not sick of it.  Granted the way I eat it has changed a bit.  I started out eating it cooked to gloopy perfection on the stove, with brown sugar, cinnamon and a some chocolate chips stirred in. When I […]

Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oats

  Pumpkin everything season has arrived.  People are gaga over pumpkin everything from lattes to muffins, and I totally get it because I love it too, and Autumn is my favorite season.  I have started making the pumpkin delicacies myself too. I had made a cake last weekend and had leftover pumpkin, so I decided […]

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 […]

Vegan Carrot Cake Overnight Oats

I love carrot cake.  And now, I can have carrot cake for breakfast.  Not just a slice of carrot cake though, an actual nutritious breakfast that will not leave me with a sugar rush.  Carrot cake overnight oats!  My new favorite thing, and they could not be easier to make.  Ok, the truth is I […]

Matcha Almond Fig Overnight Oats

  I got my hands on some gorgeous figs, and although I enjoyed some plain, some made it into my breakfast as well.  I have been making special variations of overnight oats on the weekend.  During the week I am pretty boring, just the same old spices that are cheap and quick.  But on the […]

Peach Melba Overnight Oats

I ate oatmeal every day for 10 years straight in a row from the time I was in high school to a few years back.  It was my go to meal every morning, I loved it and I never tired of it.  Adding in goodies sometimes like peanut butter or fruit.  It always tasted good […]

Vegan White Mulberry Date Pecan Oatmeal Cookies

In the deli I work in, I happen to work in the best part of the kitchen as far as I am concerned.  You see, my work station is right next to the baked goods cooling rack.  Let me tell you, Jimmy John’s “free smells” have got nothing on our deli treats that come out […]
