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 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

🍁 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

🍒✨ Cranberry Crumble Bars | Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Vegan

Got a leftover bag of cranberries after Thanksgiving? (Or did you, like me, buy extras on purpose?) Either way, you need to make these. Cozy, tart, and perfectly crumbly, these Cranberry Crumble Bars are the ultimate holiday treat—though I won’t judge if you make them year-round.

🍨🥒 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

Don’t like the texture of overnight oats? Try blended baked oats instead! They taste like a brownie! You simply combine everything in a blender, then bake it for a cozy, easy, chocolatey breakfast. And I’ll tell you a secret - I also tried it swapping out the oats for almond flour & I thought it was EVEN yummier!! It’s almost like eating cake for breakfast.

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. I brainstormed several ideas, like a frangipane tart, or plum cake, before landing on this recipe. I didn’t feel like taking the time to develop my own recipe for this one, so I grabbed my trusty Bakerita cookbook by Rachel Conners. Her recipes always deliver, are gluten-free, refined-sugar free, dairy-fr
