Bakery Blog & Recipes

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

Plum Crumble Bars | gf, df, vegan

We recently bought WAY too many yellow plums from a local farm market, and after eating our fill of them fresh/as is, it’s time to start turning them into yummy baked goods.

Her recipes always deliver, are gluten-free, refined-sugar free, dairy-fr

Healthier Magic “Seven Layer” Cookie Bars
