Welcome to The OTHER Side of Mindful BakeHouse
The side for the do-it-yourselfers, the adventurous bakers, and those that live a little too far away to make it to our bakery in person. This is where I post all the fun gluten-free dairy-free things I've been testing/making that aren't official BakeHouse recipes. Most of which we also share on our YouTube Channel, as well as our second instagram account, & TikTok. So if you're like me and you'd rather watch than read, feel free to go follow us on your fav social media app i

No-Bake Lemon Cheesecake | Gluten Free, Dairy-Free, Vegan-Option
This cashew-based “cheesecake” is one of the easiest cheesecakes to make. The based gets blitzed in a food processor, the filling goes in the blender, then top it with your favourite fruit, jam, or in this case a fresh & zippy homemade lemon curd! NOTE: if you can’t eat cashews you can swap out cashews for another nut - macadamia nuts work really well here too. INGREDIENTS Crust: 1/2 cup pecans 1/2 cup almond flour 4 medjool dates, pitted 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted pinch of s

But you could also top them with coconut whip cream and/or fresh or freeze dried berries. Ingredients 3 large egg whites (room temp) pinch of salt 2/3 cup maple sugar (finely blended) 1 tsp pot

Lemon Olive Oil Cake MELTS in Your Mouth (No Flour, No Refined Sugar)
This might just be my favourite lemon recipe! It’s fluffy and soft, yet moist and so lemony, yet well balanced with the sweet glaze.

Carrot Cake Balls with Coconut Vanilla Shell
This is officially my last carrot recipe for the season. It was over 80F in my little bakery when I made these the other day! My tubs of coconut oil that are usually fully solid were fully liquid. Feels like spring/summer is finally here - is it time for a lemon/citrus series?!? But I’m jumping the gun. These are absolutely addictive no-bake carrot cake truffles. I bet you CAN’T eat just one.

Chocolate Mousse “Flower Pot” Cups
Here’s how I made 100 gf/v chocolate mousse “dirt” cups for an easter-themed giveaway last weekend. A rich vegan chocolate mousse layered with gluten free cookie crumbs and topped like a cute little plant pot! https://youtube.com/shorts/QHEBKdp1POM?feature=share I needed 3 of these (video-sized) batches to get 100 cups, but have given you a scaled down version below so you can make 6-8 of these at home (you could even half it to make just 3-4 if you want even fewer). They’d b

Epic GF/V Magic Bars
These bars were made to be chopped up and put into Hello Dolly-inspired NYC/Chunky/Mega cookies at my GF/DF bakery. But I just HAD to give them a taste test for quality assurance purposes ;) and I thought you might like the recipe too. I made the base layer from scratch using my homemade graham cracker recipe that you already have, but pressed it into the 8x8 pan instead of rolling them as thin as possible. Next, layer on your fav chocolate chips, some pecans, and finally the

My Naturally Sweetened Caramel Sprinkles
Today I’m showing you how I make the caramel sprinkles for my bakery, that uses natural sweeteners like coconut sugar and maple syrup (no icing sugar here!). For these sprinkles we use powdered coconut sugar, along with tapioca (to act like the cornstarch that would normally be used), and water & vanilla. Then pipe them out, let them dry, and voila!! Homemade coconut sugar sprinkles. We add these on our salted caramel vanilla cupcakes. INGREDIENTS 1 1/4c ground coconut sugar

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

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.

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
