I had given up on vegan chocolate chip cookies. Then I tried one more time and BOOM. These. They can be made without waiting overnight, but we tried both and the votes were unanimous for the 24 hours aged dough. The cookies will still be good if baked right away – but they’ll be that…

Mochi banana cake aka gooeyness heaven
I cannot even remember how I started researching and stumbled upon this recipe by Jenné Claiborne but I’m so glad I did. I followed a recommendation to get Mochiko sweet rice flour (easy to get on Amazon) and I could not wait to try when my package was delivered today. Amazon Prime really is the best $100…
Coconut bars, vegan + GF
As inspired by Oh She Glows here. I did not want to use anything processed, so instead of Graham crackers, I used the pecans that were supposed to be on top for the crust. Then, I ran out of chocolate chips so I changed things up a little in the custard as well. Finally, note that these…

Pretzel bites with sweet+spicy mustard dip
If you plan to make the mustard dip, soak the mustard seeds at least 24 hours, preferably 48 hours prior. A big thanks to Vegan Richa for this great recipe, and to nouveauraw for the mustard one. Great for use as an appetizer with a couple beers while working on the main course 🙂 I’m…
Ezechiel bread
I love bread. I think I said it before but it’s kind of a big deal for me. French = bread+wine+cheese (although my dear father begs to differ about that 3rd one. His loss!) In my search for healthy, home-made alternatives, I discovered Ezechiel bread. This prompted me to buy a hand-cranked mill. Which in turn prompted my personal craze…
Simple banana-oats breakfast cookies [GF]
Cookies for breakfast! What could be better? The fact that they’re ready in 20 minutes tops! 2 bananas yield about 19 cookies, at 1 heaping TBSP batter each Ingredients: 2 old bananas – the darker, the better because the sweeter! 1/4c ground flax (I ground 1/4c of whole seeds and it works just fine) 1c…
Chocolate chip cookie dough balls [GF]
O.MG! These are vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free and sinful! Besides, anything Mary likes is a double whammy win in my book! Just disregard how rich they are because, they taste like hey-I’m-just-gonna-have-one-more-or-two-or-what-the-heck-I’ll-have-a-third-one-thank-you-very-much! You want to double the amount you’re making, right now. Trust me on that one. Ingredients: 1/2 c almond butter 1/4 c +3 TBSP maple syrup 3…
Golden coconut macaroons [GF]
Another edited, lovely Minimalist baker post. The turmeric might come accross as a lttle earthy if you have a super-taster in your household. I find that it settles overnight however. Ingredients: 3 cups unsweetened, shredded coconut 1 tsp ground turmeric 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp ground cardamon pinch black pepper 6 heaping TBSP ground…
