Simple Raw Brownies
I have slowly been becoming obsessed with raw no-bake desserts! And since I especially love chocolate brownies, I knew that I had to make a raw brownie recipe! I find these ones reminiscent of Little Debbie’s Cosmic Brownies, especially with the sprinkles! Which I used to eat all the time when I was little! If anyone knows how to recreate those with a healthy twist but still just as fudgy please let me know ASAP! These brownies are still better than Cosmic Brownies and maybe even more delicious! They’re also vegan, raw, gluten free, paleo, and have no refined sugar! They contain: Cocoa powder Coconut Oil Almonds Dates Maple Syrup Cinnamon…

Vegan Peanut Butter Pretzel Bars
Pretzels are such a great food. Like seriously I should have them more often because I could eat them all day long. In fact, I think I did just that from the ages of 2 to 4 years old. I mean, who doesn’t love a sweet and creamy snack! But what if I told you these are healthy too?! These bars are refined sugar free and vegan! These Peanut Butter Pretzel Bars are the perfect no-bake snack with summer just around the corner. The crust is soft almost like a shortbread because of the coconut flour but with a great crunch thanks to the pretzels. The filling is wonderfully sweet,…

White Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares
I’m going to let you all in on a little secret, well it’s not really a secret. But I loooove peanut butter! I also adore white chocolate. I mean, I like all chocolate and especially dark chocolate but there’s just something about the buttery sweetness of white chocolate that I love in sweets and desserts. The almond flour in these really makes a difference. I don’t usually use almond flour in my recipes. Mostly because it costs an arm and a leg. But I was so pleasantly surprised by how almond flour really made the difference in this recipe. It made them moist but crumbly and buttery! I hope to…

Strawberry Matcha Blondies
Raise your hand if you like matcha! *I fist pump both hands into the air* Matcha has got to be one of my favorite things in the world! I love the strong green tea taste and how creamy and delicious it gets in drinks. So I wonder why I haven’t baked more with matcha. Matcha is a fine ground green tea. It adds the green tea taste and it’s own creaminess making it the perfect ingredient for baked goods. Many places have begun selling flavored matcha which tends to be cheaper than the real stuff as it is full of stuff other than matcha. However, it still tastes great and…

Cranberry Date Squares (gluten free, vegan, refined sugar free)
I hope everyone had an amazing Winter Holiday! I sure enjoyed mine by baking up a storm in the kitchen! For Christmas dinner I served these date squares and a couple other desserts. The date squares were for sure the big winner! And I mean come on with that delightful red color in the filling, how can you not love them for Christmas? These date squares have a gooey filling and crisp base. The cranberries mixed with the dates is a wonderful combination giving it a sweet and tart flavor. They also make the perfect after dinner treat as they are light, gluten free, vegan, and free of refined sugars!…

Paleo Pumpkin Squares (gluten free, paleo)
We finally got some snow here just in time for Christmas! I am not always too fond of the snow (I mean in Canada we get quite a lot and I say this now because we suddenly got more than 40cm or something) but I do like how beautiful it makes the world look! Possibly my favorite thing about the Holidays though is the amount of baked goods that suddenly come available! Fortunately I am here with a healthy baked good fit for the Holidays. These pumpkin squares are low carb and refined sugar free. The pumpkin spice flavor is absolutely perfect for this time of year. Paleo Pumpkin Squares…

Peanut Butter Shortbread
Nothing screams the Holidays like shortbread! But let’s bump it up a notch and add some peanut butter in! These bars may sound difficult but trust me, they’re easier than they look and quick to make too! First you have the shortbread layer which is light and buttery. This is then covered by a wonderful creamy peanut butter filling and topped all off with chocolate! Tip: make sure everything is at room temperature when you mix it together so the coconut oil doesn’t harden and give the squares a few minutes when they come out of the fridge so they’ll be easier to cut.

Secret Ingredient Nanaimo Bars (gluten free, vegan)
I’m giving you ten seconds to guess what the filling is made of. I bet you’ll never believe what the filling is made out of! … it’s lentils! These bars are so good and taste exactly as a Nanaimo bar should. You can barely make out the lentil taste and you would never be able to taste how healthy they are. To test these out I gave it to a few a people and they couldn’t even tell that the filling was made of lentils. If you have a sweeter tooth I would suggest adding 1/2 cup of maple syrup rather than just 1/3. Secret Ingredient Nanaimo Bars Ingredients Base: 6…

They have all the goodness of cinnamon rolls without all the time or the calories. and Holy moly these are so good! I urge you to try them right now! The squares are slightly dense and chewy.

Vegan Peanut Butter Ice Cream Bars
I recently read a graphic novel called Bake Sale by Sara Varon. I saw this book on the sale rack at my university book store and I had to buy it! This book was so cute and some really nice themes in it about friendship and perseverance. It also included some recipes that are made in the story. One thing the main character of the book does everyday in their bakery is try out new recipes so I was inspired to try something new out as well! A few weeks ago I picked up a can of coconut cream from the store with the intention of making something with it.…
