Hot Chocolate Cookies with Marshmallows

November 25, 2020 By jaclyn Leave a Comment

Craving hot chocolate and also a cookie? These peppermint hot chocolate cookies are reminiscent of a cozy cup of hot chocolate complete with marshmallows. I’m telling you, these cookies are love at first bite and you don’t need to limit them just to winter time. They’d be great in the summer too, sort of like a S’mores cookie, just omit the peppermint extract. Feel free to use your favourite hot cocoa mix. Perfectly soft and chewy with pools of dark chocolate, these gluten free double chocolate cookies are seriously heaven.

Vegan Apple Crisp with Caramel Sauce

Yum

I’ve been making this apple crisp for quite a while now and I’m happy to say I’ve nailed it. For real, it’s been on repeat in my house for weeks and I don’t plan on stopping. Apple season is made for this vegan apple crisp, trust me! It’s topped with an easy oat and pecan topping and then drizzled with a decadent but not too sweet date caramel sauce. The date caramel is my other obsession and I’ll never go back to any other type of caramel sauce, EVER.

I recently went apple picking and picked WAYYYY too many apples. So what’s a girl to do with all those apples? Make these apple crumble bars of course! There’s something about these delicious apple pie bars that scream Fall. And don’t even get me started on the date caramel sauce. I got the sauce perfectly drizzly and I highly recommend making it.

Healthier Homemade Turtles: Vegan & Easy

Did you grow up eating the classic caramel turtles around the holidays? I remember having them along with countless other chocolates too. Specifically, those Guylian chocolate shells, do you remember those? Those were probably my favourite. I’ve always had a sweet tooth when it comes to chocolate and I’d happily eat them around the holidays no matter what time of day (yes, even at like 8 am!). It only made sense to make my own version of one of these classic holiday chocolates. These homemade turtles are irresistibly good and made with some healthier swaps because my sweet tooth just isn’t the same as it once was.

Vegan Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread: Made in One Bowl

September 17, 2020 By jaclyn 2 Comments

Yum

Remember a few months back when everyone was in lockdown and baking banana bread every week. Ha! Good times, good times (not really). So now that we’re approaching fall, maybe it’s time to switch to pumpkin bread? I think it’s a very good idea personally. So I created this delicious vegan gluten free pumpkin bread. And not only is it low in ingredients, it’s moist (sorry for using the “m” word) and made in just one bowl! I’m all about less clean up, so if there’s a way to make something in one bowl, you better believe I’ll do it.

Miso Cookies: Easy & Gluten Free

Yum

You may be wondering why you’d want to put miso in cookies, and I’m here to tell you why. Miso adds a depth of flavour and savoury goodness to an otherwise basic chocolate chunk cookie. And the truth is, it’s not overpowering at all. You’ll barely notice it in there, but the slight savoury flavour really adds a nice touch. And these miso cookies are gluten free and grain free too. The added benefit of brown butter ghee keeps these paleo friendly and adds even more flavour too.

Vegan Peanut Butter Pie: No Bake

Yum

Hands up if you love a no bake dessert *waves both hands in the air.* No bake desserts are pretty much my favourite type of dessert to make. They’re generally pretty easy to assemble and I find them more forgiving in terms of presentation too. This vegan peanut butter pie is no bake of course and absolutely decadent and rich without being too heavy. If you love peanut butter pie, you’re going to love this version, I promise.

Healthy Peach Crisp: For Breakfast or Dessert

August 6, 2020 By jaclyn Leave a Comment

Yum

Is there anything better than a crisp in the summer? There’s something about having a hot crisp with fresh and in-season fruits and a crumbly oat topping. For this crisp, I decided to keep it to stone fruits since they’re in season right now, plus they’re delicious. And this healthy peach crisp just happens to be low in sugar, packed with fibre and makes a perfect breakfast or dessert. Obviously, if you have it as a dessert, a scoop of ice cream or coconut whipped cream is highly recommended.
