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 Maple Apple Crisp
It definitely feels like fall is here now, and so I had to make an apple crisp with the apples we bought at the orchard recently! Apple crisp is one of the essential fall recipes as far as I am concerned. When I was little, I remember coming home from school many times in the […]
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 […]
Strawberry Granola
I love home made granola! It is so easy to make, and so much better than store bought that since I started making my own I have never gone back. I love that I can create my own flavors as well! The only problem with it is that when I have a pan of […]
Vegan Pumpkin Maple Date Granola
You can feel fall in the air even if it is not technically fall yet. The overly hot days are gone, replaced with cool mornings and moderate temperatures. I love it though! This is my favorite time of year and running outside on a cool morning is refreshing! I have also gotten into baking fall […]
Date Pecan Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookies
Oats are something that I love so much I have eaten them nearly every day for the past 20 years of my life. I have a bowl of oatmeal in the morning, I never get sick of it and it is one of my favorite things. It has shifted from cooked to overnight oats, but […]
Vegan Irish Oatmeal Layer Cake
The first time I ever attempted to bake a layer cake, it was an Irish oatmeal cake. It was for my Mom’s Birthday. I had just graduated high school, and I was just getting into baking. It seemed simple enough after I read the directions. But…simple it was not for me at least. It seemed […]
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 […]
Gingerbread Granola
The Christmas music everywhere has begun! Not that it is a bad thing, it gets me in the mood for the season, and I have a few songs that I really like. But then there are the over-played ones with 5 different versions of the same song that I hear over and over on the […]
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 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 […]
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 Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Cookies
I don’t know about you, but I can’t get enough of pumpkin goodies this year. I like apple treats and Halloween candy too, and I have been making those as well this October, but pumpkin seems to be the favorite. Thank goodness for canned pumpkin though! Back in the day, I used to like to […]
Vegan Cowboy Cookies
I recently saw a recipe for cowboy cookies (that wasn’t vegan), and I decided that I needed to veganize it because it sounded really good! Also, my Mom who is a big oatmeal cookie lover has been begging me to make some oatmeal cookies so it was the perfect opportunity! Although I like to spend […]
Strawberry Pistachio Lemon Granola
When I was little I thought that granola was something that hippies ate that you got at the health food store. So in other words a health food. Little did I know that it was actually really delicious, which I discovered in college when I decided to make a granola recipe from a breakfast cookbook […]
Banana Hazelnut Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
Over-ripe bananas are a good problem to have. I mean, you can cut them up and freeze them for smoothies or nice cream, or make some banana bread or cake, or mash them and make pancakes. I had gotten some over-ripe bananas from work, and I wanted to make something delicious with them besides all […]
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 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 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 High Protein Almond Butter Oatmeal Cookies
When I was younger, my Mom always justified eating oatmeal cookies by the fact that they have oatmeal in them. “They are healthy, and they have fiber.” She said. Well, she is right, I mean compared to other cookies which are made with simply refined flours they are a little kinder on the system. They […]
Raw Pumpkin Spice Granola
I am heading into pumpkin bliss at full speed. Pumpkin does not last long in this household lately after I buy it because I am finding all sorts of delicious ways to use it in recipes. Of course I have baked a few things, and made a few savories, but snacks are not off limits, […]
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 […]
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 Strawberry Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookies
I recently had a good amount of strawberries, and I decided to dry some. I thought the intensely flavored strawberries would be wonderful in recipes like granola. But I was craving some oatmeal cookies, and I didn’t want to just make the usual (I never do, it has to have a twist on it). So, I […]
Raw Strawberry Oat Breakfast Bars
When I was a kid, it was hard for my Mother to get me to eat breakfast on school days. I usually didn’t want anything, and I ended up going to school with a Nutrigrain bar or something similar since I hated cereal. Not the most nutritious and zero protein in those things, but I […]
Vegan Raspberry Pomegranate Oat Waffles
You know what I think is sexy? Staying home and enjoying a meal together for Valentine’s Day. Because going out that day is often over priced and over rated. At least as far as my experience goes. Plus being able to spend alone time together for dinner and be able to hear yourself talk with […]
