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.

Banana Donut Holes 🍌
Have one extra banana kicking around? Make some banana almond flour donut holes! This recipe was adapted from the viral 2 ingredient dough recipes using a banana and self-rising flour.

Ingredients 1¼ cups almond flour 1 tsp psyllium husk powder 1¼ tsp baking powder ½ tsp cinnamon ¼ tsp sea salt 1 medium ripe banana, m

Soft & Gooey Banana-Date Sticky Buns | GF/DF/V
Watch the step-by-step video here: https://youtu.be/l2XuXBvGvoc Banana sticky buns are my nostalgic go-to for using up way too many ripe bananas. When I was little, my mom used to make Banana Sticky Buns from the Bisquick cookbook. (Sidebar: do you remember when every baking brand had its own cookbook? The Robin Hood flour one will forever be my favourite.) When I first started my YouTube channel, I tried to gluten-free-ify that recipe. And while it was… fine? It definitely
