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 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

Blueberry Hack 🫐😉 take all the sweet ones! (or take the sour-lower-sugar ones if thats your jam)
Try this fun hack if you want to secretly steal all the sweetest berries (or if your kids will only eat the super sweet ones! 🫐😬), …or if you’re keto/low-carb/diabetic and want to only eat the sour ones. 🙌🏻👍🏻 It actually works! But why? 🤔 Because the sweeter ones are more dense and sink to the bottom. Watch the video here: https://youtube.com/shorts/x7ptTlt1qAI

Christmas Tree Date Bark 🎄💚❤️
Christmas take on the viral date bark hack: use a piping bag or folded ziptop bag to make a tree shaped date bark. 1) add pitted flattened dates (medjool are nice and soft and work VERY well) 2) flatten (press flat or use a rolling pin) 3) add layer of nut butter then chill until nut butter has thickened and you can peel off the piping bag 4) top with melted chocolate, then add your fav nuts and/or fun sprinkles 5) chill again until set, then cut & enjoy!

Soft & Gooey Banana-Date Sticky Buns | GF/DF/V
Watch the step-by-step video here: https://youtu.be/l2XuXBvGvoc Banana sticky buns are my nostalgic go-to for using up way too many ripe bananas.

Here's how I did it: Cake Ingredients: 2 medium oranges or 4 clementines 6 large eggs 1 tsp vanilla 250g almond flour 250g granulated sweetener of choice (
