Welcome to The OTHER Side of Mindful BakeHouse
The side for the do-it-yourselfers, the adventurous bakers, and those that live a little to far away to make it to our bakery in person.

Most of which we also share on our YouTube Channel, as well as our second instagram account, & TikTok.

Turtle Ice Cream Bark
Let’s make ice cream bark a thing! Like the viral TikTok yogurt bark, but made with ice cream & fun toppings - this one is “turtles” inspired with our caramel-y 2-ingredient date-sweetened ice cream, crispy chocolate, crunchy pecans, and our no cook caramel. You could even use a protein ice cream to boost the protein content (for that, see protein option in ice cream recipe/video. There’s also a lower sugar version and a chocolate option too). Here’s what I used for this bark

Frosted Avocado Brownies | V & GF
If you have one avocado you need these small batch avocado brownies in your life - we put half the avocado in the batter which ends up so rich and decadent and delicious. I could eat it by the spoonful and there’s no ingredient in it that says you can’t (I didn’t lick all the spatulas clean…). Then after it’s cooled, we use the other half of the avocado to make avocado frosting, which is essentially chocolate avocado mousse on top of your fudgy, avocado brownies. And they’re

Gluten-Free Chicken Parmesan
With the crazy cold snap we’ve had here recently I was craving a comforting, cozy meal, and this chicken parmesan hit the spot!!

Shawarma-Spiced Shaved-Tofu Wrap
I have been playing with tofu recipes over here for Veganuary. It has been fun and quite delicious!! I have 100% LOVED the viral shaved/shredded tofu methods.

These vibrant little truffles are fresh, fruity, and the perfect no-bake treat 💕 A fun break from classic chocolate truffles! The filling is made with freeze-dried raspberry powder, coconut milk, and vegan white chocolate, then dipped in melted white chocolate and finished with a pretty drizzle + a sprinkle of raspberry powder. Tip: white chocolate is thinner, so I usually do a second dip for that perfect coating ✨ This batch makes 8 one-tablespoon truffles, but feel free to

Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Cups 🍪🥜🍫
We tried Billie Eilish’s ooey gooey PB cookie recipe this week, and they were super delicious, but we had leftover cookie dough (we only baked half the recipe) so my daughter suggested we make Reese peanut butter cups but with the cookie dough ➡️ cookie cups. Super easy no bake recipe, kid friendly, and ended up tasting very much like Reese PB cups (but with the extra choc chips from the cookie dough, and who ever said no to extra choc chips?!?). What you need: 1) some cooki
