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. 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

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

🥐 Viral flattened croissant, but gf & vegan?
Yes, the flattened croissant is totally worth the hype! We finally made one, but gf/df/v. Gluten-free croissants ARE a little fragile, so it was trickier, but in the end it turned out delicious.

They have a similar texture but without the sticky pull. I was quite impressed, though I felt like they took much longer than 30 minutes to set

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.

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
