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

🍨🥒 Zucchini Ice Cream | No Churn | Dairy Free/Vegan
Refreshing, lightly chocolate flavour with cinnamon undertones that pairs so well with our zucchini oatmeal cookies. Feel free to leave out either, or add a bit more cocao to make it more chocolatey. Because we planned to use these for ice cream sandwiches with our oatmeal cookies, I didn’t want the choc to overpower the cookie flavour. This paired really nicely together. It’s super easy, no ice cream machine required! Just use a food processor or blender for smooth & creamy
