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.

🍫🫐 Day 20 of Healthy Summer Treats | Dark Choc Blueberries
Another fun summer-must-try! If you haven’t tried making the viral chocolate dipped blueberries from TikTok yet, you should. They may seem a bit tedious until you get the hang of dipping with a toothpick (especially if you decide to reuse the same toothpick like me!) but I got in “the zone” after the first couple and they’re super cute & delicious too. 🍫 TIP: Make sure to pick a chocolate you enjoy , since it’s just blueberries & your chocolate of choice. I dipped them and p

🍫✨ Day 15 of Healthy Summer Treats: Frozen Protein S’mores #SummerOnShorts
These are SO UNDER-RATED, OMG!

Day 7 of Healthy Summer Treats: 🍋🍨 3-Ingredient Lemon Ice Cream #summeronshorts
INGREDIENTS: - Zest & juice of 2 lemons* - 1 can full fat coconut cream - 1/2 cup sweetener of choice (I used organic honey) NOTES: *I did try the “whole lemon” way first, but I found it too bitter and did not enjoy it. So I remade it using the zest & juice, and it was SOOOOO delicious and refreshing. This will definitely be on repeat this summer. This is fairly heavy on honey but makes for a nice soft texture. You can swap the sweetener or adjust it lower too if you want it

Day 3 of Healthy Summer Treats: 🍉Watermelon Shaved Ice #SummerOnShorts
This one ingredient shave ice hack seemed so simple I almost didn’t want to include it in our healthy summer treat series BUT our watermelon’s texture was sub-par (and a bit mealy), so my kids did NOT want to eat it. And freezing it, and shaving it with a microplane, totally transformed and saved this melon. Don’t have a microplane? Or even if you do… I also tested this with my grater setting in our food processor and it worked like a charm, and was definitely a time saver to

Oat-Free Rhubarb Crisp/Crumble
It’s that time of year!! I was gifted some fresh rhubarb last night, so that means… … rhubarb crisp!! (Or crumble, or whatever you like to call it. It’s so delicious fresh from the oven with a cold scoop of vanilla ice cream. Yum!!). Here we pair the rhubarb with some fresh strawberries and blackberries that we had in our fridge, but rhubarb pairs super well with any berry, or even apples - something sweet that plays well with the sourness of the rhubarb. Also, feel free to u
