Vegan Cheesecake Cashew Cups

Vegan Cheesecake Recipe

When the good weather comes out it always inspires me to try new recipes and I’ve really been into incorporating plant based recipes into our regular routine because I physically feel better eating less meat and dairy. I’ve really been inspired by the Minimalist Baker in recent months and my latest recipe love are these Vegan Cheesecake Cashew Cups.

With just 7 ingredients you can have a delicious dessert! They’re so creamy and satisfying, perfect for when you’re craving a treat but they’re still somewhat healthy.Read More »Vegan Cheesecake Cashew Cups

Peanut Butter Oat Bar Recipe

Maple Sea Salt Peanut Butter Oat Bar Recipe

This maple sea salt peanut butter oat bar recipe is so good and (somewhat) good for you too. Filled with healthy fats from coconut oil and natural peanut butter. I’d also consider them low sugar because it’s sweetened with maple syrup, but really I guess it’s still sugar, but better for you because it’s not refined white sugar. Although there is maple syrup in the oatmeal base too, you can make these delicious bars without the oatmeal base, they firm up in the freezer just as good without the oat base because of the coconut oil and the natural peanut butter, I’d even consider them a similar texture to fudge.

These little peanut butter oat bars are so satisfying, that subtle sweetness from the maple syrup goes so great with a sprinkle of sea salt.

Easy Cheddar Cheese Scone Recipe

Recipe Adventure: Cheddar Cheese Scones

Easy Cheddar Cheese Scone Recipe

On weekends I like to indulge in a little baking and comfort food. This cheddar cheese scone recipe is one of my go to recipes for something quick and delicious for brunch or an afternoon tea.

I have a Kitchen Aid Mixer so I make them in 1 bowl and it takes no time at all with virtually no mess. I just throw all the dry ingredients in the bowl, mix together and then add in the butter, cheese and finally the milk.

When it all comes together I put it onto a cutting board and flatten the giant ball out with my hands until it’s even and then I cut into even wedges, transfer to a baking tray and about 10 minutes later, delicious crispy cheesy scones are ready!

Keep reading below for the full recipe.

Juicer Pulp Muffin recipe

Recipe Adventure: Juicer Pulp Muffins

Do you own a juicer? If so, this recipe is for you. Occasionally I like to have a fresh juice for breakfast or lunch, but I get sad when I see how much pulp is left in the waste container when I’m done. I just can’t bring myself to throw it out! So yesterday I made a point to trim my fruits and veggies of any seeds before it went into the juicer so the pulp would be perfect for baking.

First lets review what went into my fresh juice:
5-6 large carrots
1-2 apples skin on, seeds removed
2 lemons peel and seeds removed
1 inch piece of fresh ginger

I took the juicer pulp from the waste container and set it aside while I prepared my ingredients for a fibre packed muffin. The muffins are perfect for breakfast or afternoon snack. If you’re curious, I have this Breville Juicer and I love it so much, it’s super easy to clean and makes great juice.

Holiday baking season is fast approaching, in fact I think it may already be here. Personally I don’t think it’s Christmas without cookies! Nothing is better than a home filled with the delicious smells of cookies baking. I’ve always loved shortbread because it’s easy to make and looks so pretty. This year I’ve added matcha green tea powder to the dough and thought I’d share the recipe with you.
