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

Fudgey Almond Flour Brownies | Tim Hortons Gluten Free Dairy Free Copycat

🌾 Easy One-Bowl Flax-Millet-Sorghum Bread

It’s wholesome, hearty, and has a lovely nuttiness from the millet and flax. No starches, gums, or fluff-pretending — just simple, nutrient-dense ingredients. Fluffier than the 3-ingredient flax bread, but still beautifully rustic and satisfying. Free from: 🌿 Gluten 🌿 Grains (no rice, corn, or starches) 🌿 Nuts 🌿 Yeast 🌿 Dairy 🌿 Eggs 🌿

Black Forest Brownie Cake 🍒🤍🍫
The original recipe for this chocolate cherry brownie cake is by Radhi Devlukia-Shetty in her cookbook: “JoyFULL” (but we made a few tweaks based on ingredient availability at a friend’s house). I’m totally loving the savoury recipes in Radhi’s book, and also make her moon milk recipes almost every night before bed. So I thought it would be fun to try her brownie cake recipe - It’s gluten free, egg free, dairy free, refined sugar free & vegan. And instead of stacking & “icing

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.
