Soft & Chewy Glazed Lemon Cookies 🍋 gluten-free & vegan
If you love lemon, you’re going to love these perfectly soft & chewy almond-flour based lemon cookies, topped with a lemony glaze. Simply combine in one bowl, scoop & bake, then top with one of two glaze options below. * 2 cups almond flour * Zest from one lemon * 1 1/2 tbsp tapioca starch (you can swap for another starch like arrowroot, cornstarch, potato starch, or just leave out if you like, but it will change the texture a bit) * 1/4 tsp baking soda * 1/8 tsp salt * 1/4 c

Lemon Olive Oil Cake MELTS in Your Mouth (No Flour, No Refined Sugar)
This might just be my favourite lemon recipe! It’s fluffy and soft, yet moist and so lemony, yet well balanced with the sweet glaze. TBH I keep going to the fridge and taking yet another bite as I edited the recipe video together, lol. You can watch that here: https://youtube.com/shorts/lloayY32ves?si=ylN-A73aFWjNEBcV If I’ve convinced you, here’s how you make it: 🍋 Lemon Olive Oil Cake Ingredients Wet 2 large eggs (room temp) 1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil 1/3 cup (80 ml) maple

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

Homemade Cereal Part 2: Reese Puffs Chocolate Peanut Butter Cereal Balls
Since we just made a cocao puffs recipe, I thought a Reese puffs was a logical next step. I swapped the almond butter to peanut butter, and the cocoa powder for almond flour (or for even more PB flavour use some PB2 powder). Mix, scoop and roll, like before BUT without the cocao powder that helps crisp things up, we bake these a TOUCH longer to get them crunchy like the chocolate ones. Then pour them together & enjoy!! Cinnamon Toast Crunch next?!? 👀 Chocolate Puffs 1/3 cup

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).

🍁 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

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

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

Healthy 3-Ingredient Rice Crispy Squares
With maple syrup and almond butter, I thought these would be perfect for my kid with braces (instead of sticky marshmallows) & bonus you get to avoid over processed ingredients like corn syrup, they come together super quick, and are endlessly customizable (sub your fav cereal, a diff nut/seed butter or sticky sweetener of choice!!). 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
