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

Pringle Toffee Crunch/Bark/Christmas Crack
I don’t know who needs to hear this but TODAY is 250 days until Christmas. Starting today I’m posting a Christmas recipe every 50 days to count down to Christmas. So here we are, I thought it would be fun to riff on the chocolate Pringle hack that is going viral right now, and make pringle xmas crack. Except, Pringles are NOT gluten-free, so we’re using “No Name” brand Pringles-style chips instead. Spread a can of chips on a lined baking sheet, slightly crunch them down, top

5-ingredient Healthier Almond Joy Candy Bars 🥥🍫
Did you know how easy it is to make homemade Bounty/Almond Joy candy bars at home? But also healthier & vegan? It takes just 4-5 ingredients and a few minutes (minus the freeze time). I was planning to do a homemade/better-than-store-bought series with chocolate bars, & was shocked at how sad Almond Joys are these days. Most “chocolate” bars can no longer be legally called chocolate due to their cheap ingredients, and look at that sad almond… So let’s make our own with simple

Lemon Curd Thumbprint Cookies - Updated & Made Mini! (3x the cookies!) 🍪🍋☀️
Yesterday’s lemon thumbprints disappeared too fast & I was asked to make more. SO this time we’re making them minis - it makes 24 tbsp sized minis instead of just 8 larger cookies. I also tweaked the recipe a teeny bit (feel free to use either). I added some tapioca for a smoother dough with less cracking when thumb printing, and a splash of vanilla (cuz vanilla makes everything better!). Other than that, it’s the same recipe, same curd, and same process. Since they’re smalle

Lemon Curd Thumbprint Cookies | Gluten-free & Vegan
With the heatwave over here it felt appropriate to abandon my carrot series for some bright & cheery lemon recipes! ☀️🍋 So here’s lemon recipe 1 & 2 combined in a delicious lemon curd thumbprint cookie that we’ve made without gluten, grains, dairy, eggs or refined sugars. (And watch out they’re kid approved - you may need to hide them in your fridge if you don’t want to share 🙃🙌🏻). 🍪 Lemon Almond Cookie Ingredients 2 cups almond flour 1/4 tsp baking soda 1/8 tsp salt 3 t

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. (Cuz I ate 6 or 7…) Makes 19 tbsp sized cake truffles 🍰 TRUFFLE CENTRES 6 tbsp waln

Carrot Loaf Cake with Cashew Cream Cheese Frosting
Yes I know Easter is over, but I am still loving everything carrot & I hope you are too! Today I’m making an almond flour based carrot cake loaf, with freshly grated carrots, warming spices (like cinnamon, ginger & cloves), and topped with the creamiest cashew-cream-cheese frosting that I could eat but the tub. (Can’t/don’t do cashews - simply swap for an equal weight almonds or even almond flour). Carrot Loaf Cake Ingredients 1/3 cup (75g) coconut sugar 1/4 cup coconut oi

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

🥕🍪 Carrot Cake Cookie | GF & V
These almond flour based carrot cake cookies are always a hit at Easter at my bakery. There’s soft-baked, deliciousness, topped with cute buttercream carrots. And while I can’t share our special vegan buttercream recipe, I will share the cookie recipe, as well as a few suggestions for alternate toppings. These are gf, df, vegan, and ref - but you can sub the coconut sugar out for cane sugar or a sugar substitute if you like. Not a fan of pecans - leave them out, or swap them

🍁 Chewy Maple Pecan Flapjacks
I was today years old, when I learned that a flapjack is not an always a pancake. To me, it’s another name for a pancake. In the UK, it’s a oat-based snack bar - almost like a chewy granola bar but softer and sweeter. So I had to make some with a Canadian twist - with chewy, maple-y goodness, a buttery crunch from the pecans; for a clean & wholesome treat. Perfect with your afternoon tea. ►3 cups rolled oats (I did a mix of 2 cups sprouted rolled oats & 1 cup instant oats) ►3

2-Ingredient Banana Coconut Macaroons
This is an 2 ingredient recipe I can get behind - Ingredients 1/2 large ripe banana (the other half was too far gone even for banana bread 😅) 1/2-3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut Instructions Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment. In a bowl, mash the banana until smooth . Stir in the shredded coconut until it forms a thick, sticky dough. Scoop tablespoon-sized mounds onto the baking sheet. Press slightly to shape (they don’t spread much).

Chocolate Hazelnut Banana Bread
Banana bread is great!! We LOVE banana bread over here, but let’s make it EVEN better by making it marbled with chocolate hazelnut batter. We start by mixing up our trusty almond-coconut banana bread, then divide the batter in 2 bowls. We keeping some of it vanilla, and add cocoa powder, choc chips & chopped hazelnuts to the rest. Alternate scoops into a loaf pan, and top with more chocolate chips & chopped hazelnuts, then bake, and enjoy!! So pretty & so good! Batter Ingredi

Chickpea Blondies from the Today Show 💫😍
I’ve been wanting to try these blondies since I first saw Samah Dada’s recipe - she even got to share her recipe on the Today Show! And says it’s her most popular dessert recipe, and it’s made with CHICKPEAS. Chickpea blondies were really having their moment a year or so ago (remember the Alix Earle viral chickpea blondies?) and I finally made some today, in between batches of naan, and date squares… They’re gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, egg-free, refined-sugar-free, a

Healthy Nuts & Seeds Granola | Oat-Free, Grain-Free, Vegan
I made myself a new batch of granola yesterday in between sourdough batches (luckily it’s super quick to put together and fits in my air oven so it doesn’t take up one of my big bakery ovens). This is my current “granola” obsession that I like to throw on my n’oat oatmeal , chia pudding or chocolate tofu pudding for a crunch factor. I really like the hearty-ness the almond butter adds, and all the chia seeds too. Feel free to double or triple this batch, and make 2 trays wo

Frosted Avocado Brownies | V & GF
If you have one avocado you need these small batch avocado brownies in your life - we put half the avocado in the batter which ends up so rich and decadent and delicious. I could eat it by the spoonful and there’s no ingredient in it that says you can’t (I didn’t lick all the spatulas clean…). Then after it’s cooled, we use the other half of the avocado to make avocado frosting, which is essentially chocolate avocado mousse on top of your fudgy, avocado brownies. And they’re

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

No Knead, Fluffy Keto Flax Bread
