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. 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 in

Healthier Magic “Seven Layer” Cookie Bars
I recently dropped off some of our bakery’s gf/df/v goodies to The Panetteria, a local bakery that carries our stuff, and my daughter picked out a few of their things for our family to share - one of which was a Magic Bar, and boy did it tempt me - I LOVE magic bars (and really, ANYTHING coconut). So instead of “gluten-ing” myself and paying for one magical bite, I decided to dust off my recipe for a better-for-you version. This version is rich, gooey, and satisfying, just li

Crispy, crunchy, roasted lentils 😍🥗 #Saladtopper #glutenfreecroutons
I’m sure you’ve seen crunchy, roasted chickpeas before. But this is a fun twist.

And bonus: they’re also faster to cook from scratch; giving you a healthy, gluten-free alternative to a crouton on your salads this summer (or frankly to any dish you’d like to add some texture, crunch and/or extra protein too) INGREDIENTS: ► 3/4-1 cup dried
