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

Lemon Raspberry Pavlovas
Yesterday we showed you how to make maple lemon curd, so today we’re making pavlovas with the 3 leftover egg whites. These pillowy maple pavlovas are crunchy on the outside, and perfectly chewy & marshmallowy on the inside. Topped with a bright & cheery lemon curd, and raspberry sauce. But you could also top them with coconut whip cream and/or fresh or freeze dried berries. Ingredients 3 large egg whites (room temp) pinch of salt 2/3 cup maple sugar (finely blended) 1 tsp pot

Strawberry Lemonade Popsicles | Day 6 of lemon recipes
Perfectly refreshing summer treat balancing sweet strawberries & zingy lemonade in popsicle form. This is on repeat at my house in the warm weather - they’re my daughter’s favourite (she actually helped develop this recipe for our bakery). It also works amazing in the Ninja Creami as a frozen strawberry lemonade - see note below recipe. INGREDIENTS -4 oz (115g) fresh or frozen strawberries -5 tbsp honey (you can sub maple syrup but it will be more icy) -1/2 tsp vanilla* -6 tb

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

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).

My Naturally Sweetened Caramel Sprinkles
Today I’m showing you how I make the caramel sprinkles for my bakery, that uses natural sweeteners like coconut sugar and maple syrup (no icing sugar here!). For these sprinkles we use powdered coconut sugar, along with tapioca (to act like the cornstarch that would normally be used), and water & vanilla. Then pipe them out, let them dry, and voila!! Homemade coconut sugar sprinkles. We add these on our salted caramel vanilla cupcakes. INGREDIENTS 1 1/4c ground coconut sugar

Shawarma Tofu Rice Bowl
Another delicious (and easy!) tofu recipe, as I try to incorporate more tofu into my life for 2026. Why? At the risk of TMI - tofu has been identified in some health studies as having a positive impact on peri-menopausal symptoms. This nourish bowl was inspired by this video https://youtu.be/MKg_ofp1NOs?si=5X1A-r_o8MXPLUHr by Healthy Foodie PH on YouTube, but I simplified it even more so you can use pre-cooked rice, (since I had a stash in my freezer). So the only real cooki

Shawarma-Spiced Shaved-Tofu Wrap
I have been playing with tofu recipes over here for Veganuary. It has been fun and quite delicious!! I have 100% LOVED the viral shaved/shredded tofu methods. But not so much the tempeh (please send me your fav way to prepare tempeh if you have one! I'm still open to trying new ways to prepare it). And am really looking forward to silken tofu dessert test recipes in the next days - fluffy vegan chocolate mousse?!? My husband was trying the viral doner kebab techinique using s

🤍💖 3-Ingredient Raspberry Truffles
These vibrant little truffles are fresh, fruity, and the perfect no-bake treat 💕 A fun break from classic chocolate truffles! The filling is made with freeze-dried raspberry powder, coconut milk, and vegan white chocolate, then dipped in melted white chocolate and finished with a pretty drizzle + a sprinkle of raspberry powder. Tip: white chocolate is thinner, so I usually do a second dip for that perfect coating ✨ This batch makes 8 one-tablespoon truffles, but feel free to

🥑🍫 Bakery-Style Chocolate Avocado Pudding 2.0

Chocolate Speckled Protein Ice Cream (NO PUDDING MIX!) | DF Ninja Creami
Instead of adding whole chocolate chips to your ice cream recipe, try this hack!! If you melt your chocolate chips, and add them half-way through the mixing process, it will freeze into little flecks like you would get in a store bought mint chip ice cream. Perfectly spread throughout your dairy-free/vegan protein vanilla ice cream, with some snappy chocolate bits in each bite. Enjoy!! Ingredients ► 1 cup canned coconut milk ► 1/2 cup almond milk (or your choice plant based m

It blends into the creamiest, most decadent chocolate frosting that’s naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and refined sugar-free, with no added oils or powdered sugar 🍫✨ Perfect for spreading, swirling, or eating straight off the spoon, this frosting is deeply chocolatey with a luscious, truffle-like texture. I’m using it to

No Knead, Fluffy Keto Flax Bread

Veganuary - Tasty Tofu
Anyone trying new plant-based meals for Veganuary? I tried Nisha’s (Rainbow Plant Life) tofu technique the other night for dinner and it was soooooo good!! I didn’t have all the ingredients to make her shawarma bowl (I have to remake it with all the components!!), so I served it with yellow pea protein pasta, some edamame, and Siete brand taco spice. You can find her video/recipe here: https://youtu.be/qEu2VHpTt58?si=ptL0JjnCvRtb8evs But here's a quick jist: She calls for sup

Seriously Delicious Cloud Pizza
Gluten-free pizza crust, almond flour crust, cauliflower crust, chicken crust… I’ve tried them all. A pizza crust made from egg whites? Sure, let’s try it! First you take 2 egg whites and whip them to stiff peaks - I used a hand mixer, and it just took a few minutes. Then you add 1 tsp of tapioca or arrowroot and some spices like onion, garlic, oregano, salt, or anything you like, and beat another 30 seconds. I spread this out on a parchment lined baking sheet, and baked at 3

2-Ingredient Chocolate Yogurt Mousse
This recipe kept popping up on my feed, and I was skeptical (I've fallen victim to so many bad 2 or 3-ingredient recipes...have you?) but I gave it a try and was pleasantly surprised.
