🍰 The BEST Flourless Chocolate Cake

Decadent, yet super easy to make, flourless chocolate cake. It’s completely flour-less (not even almond flour!! So nut-free too!) And you can make it dairy-free and/or sugar-free/low carb by using dairy-free and/or sugar-free chocolate chips along with your sweetener of choice. Have fun with your toppings (to me nothing goes better with warm cake than a scoop of cold vanilla ice cream, but traditionally it gets topped with a dusting of powdered sugar or cocao powder, and some

Colour Changing Lemonade 🩷💜💙 Recipe

It goes by many names: Magic Lemonade, Galaxy Lemonade or Mermaid Lemonade, and it involves adding blue matcha/butterfly pea flower tea to lemonade. The anthocyanin pigments in the blue matcha are blue in alkaline/basic environments, but turn purple, then pink in more acidic environments such as lemonade!! It appears as magic, but it’s chemistry!

Do black beans make a good gluten-free cake?

I’m testing out a 1/4 batch of Pancake Princess’ famous “Flourless Black Bean Chocolate Cake (gluten-free!)” for my birthday in a few weeks. I’m looking for something on the healthier side, but also easy to make - no special equipment since we’ll be celebrating with a friend of mine, that doesn’t have a ton of baking stuff. So this recipe could be perfect!! You can swap the granulated sugar for your sweetener/sugar-free-sub of choice (I’m using monk-allulose for my test batch

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

Healthier Magic “Seven Layer” Cookie Bars

I recently dropped off some of our bakery’s gf/df/v goodies to The Panetteria, a local bakery that carries our stuff, and my daughter picked out a few of their things for our family to share - one of which was a Magic Bar, and boy did it tempt me - I LOVE magic bars (and really, ANYTHING coconut). So instead of “gluten-ing” myself and paying for one magical bite, I decided to dust off my recipe for a better-for-you version. This version is rich, gooey, and satisfying, just li

Crispy, crunchy, roasted lentils 😍🥗 #Saladtopper #glutenfreecroutons

I’m sure you’ve seen crunchy, roasted chickpeas before. But this is a fun twist. Plus, they’re extra crunchy and give you more protein & less carbs (net and total), and more fiber per serving than chickpeas (or croutons!) And bonus: they’re also faster to cook from scratch; giving you a healthy, gluten-free alternative to a crouton on your salads this summer (or frankly to any dish you’d like to add some texture, crunch and/or extra protein too) INGREDIENTS: ► 3/4-1 cup dried
