These are delicious cookies with considerably less added sugar than traditional cookies. They are plenty sweet because they are filled with wholesome ingredients that are naturally sweet such as banana, almonds and oats! They are rich in fiber but completely gluten-free, you just have to make sure to use rolled oats that are certified gluten-free (not all oats are). ... Read More »
Dark Chocolate Cake
This “rich” cake is so moist, it does not even need frosting! …and the secret ingredient is…Zucchini…lots of it! Even I cannot believe how much I snuck in there! I can frankly say “snuck” because you wouldn’t know they were there. The grated zucchini just “melt” inside the cake batter when baked and the result is pure rich moistness! These also make wonderful little cupcakes ... Read More »
Vegan Burger
Allright, I have to admit, I have been trying to create the perfect vegan burger for a long time now without much success. I mean, really, much like the typical ones I had tasted before, they were either too mushy, or too obviously "healthy-tasting" (that's the French foodie in me speaking!!) or just tasted too "complicated," if you know what I mean. This is of course....up ... Read More »

Chocolate Zucchini Muffins (Vegan)
I have to be honest, I am new to vegan baking and I am never quite sure what to expect when I first make an attempt to "veganize" a baked good. This one was no different, I was using my luscious conventional dark chocolate cake recipe as the starting point and I had the feeling this was going to be a futile attempt! I could not have been more wrong! Seriously, I could not ... Read More »
Vegan Banana Date Bread
The combination of ripe banana and medjool dates achieves--dare I say--a certain "butter-iness" in this Vegan Banana Date Bread. This is my new welcome home banana bread for my Natalia who has become vegan but I have to say, it may just become THE welcome home banana bread for the rest of the family too! It is SO YUMMY! I think you can tell from the photo how moist and rich ... Read More »
Pumpkin Banana Date Muffins (Vegan)
These little muffins are filled with goodness! They are naturally sweetened with pumpkin, banana, dates and 1 tablespoon of organic honey--no need for added sugar! I use white wholewheat flour for the added fiber, of course, and make these without any eggs or dairy, so for those of you who are pure vegans and do not use honey then you can omit it (there is so little of it, it ...
