Gluten Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bread
Banana bread is a favorite of mine. In The Midnight Kitchen made this wonderful recipe which is a hybrid of chocolate cake and banana bread. I first saw Zorah’s work through the Foodtography School Instagram page which featured her recipes. After, I started to follow her to get more insight into her photography and her gluten free recipes. This recipe was fairly easy and didn’t have any fancy ingredients. I made some minor adjustments to reduce the diary in this recipe and also balance flavors in a different way. Method I put this loaf together the traditional way, you can refer to my chai loaf for general instructions. I beat…

Vegan Gluten Free Lemon Bars
I am a huge fan of lemon desserts. Something about the tart and sweet combo makes me swoon. I was craving my Vegan Lemon Ricotta Cookies, but I didn’t have any vegan ricotta in the house. Needless to say the craving was real. After searching for eggless recipes, I found two, one from Nora Cooks, and another from Minimalist Baker. I sort of mashed the two of them into one recipe based off of ingredients I had and the result was pretty great! I feel like the filling alone would be good on anything. It might be put to use on pancakes or crepes for that yummy sour zing! Method…

Eggless Molten Chocolate Lava Cake
Chocolate Lava Cakes are a classic dessert for Valentine’s Day. That smooth, fudgy center can make anyone swoon. The key to a great cake is to serve it hot and make sure that the center stays molten. For a more foolproof center I really like using the ganache method. Eggless recipes can be really difficult to find because the egg whites and yolk really preserve the thickness and smoothness of the batter. I have added a little bit of that feeling with the addition of heavy cream and oil. Brewed coffee also really helps to amplify the taste. If you don’t want to brew coffee you can add a little…

Oreo Pops
Oreo Truffles were my signature dessert in college. I made it for everyone’s birthday and every event I could. They are super easy, and only 3 ingredients! This entire recipe can be made in the food processor, it makes for the perfect bake sale recipe. You can pop these in your mouth like popcorn and before you know it the whole tray will be gone! These little pops are so cute and you can make them in lots of different shapes and sizes. It is really easy to decorate these with colored candy melts and luster dust. I also love coating these in different toppings to provide texture. Try out…

No-Bake Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites
Peanut butter and Chocolate make the best pair. I love me some Reese’s and they are my favorite valentine treat! My favorite Valentine’s Day memories are from those glittery boxes filled with treats from elementary school! I used to love decorating my shoebox and having it filled with all of those little notes from my classmates. I thought that there should be something homemade that is sweet and poppable! This dessert is really easy to make vegan, and you can also make these in bulk ahead of time for a party or gathering. If you wanted to make these directly into bars feel free to use the adjustments in the…

Lemon Raspberry Cream Cups
My fiancé got me The Great British Bake Off Big Book of Baking for my birthday and my cousins and siblings went through and marked all their favorite desserts. My cousin put two flags on this recipe, however I noticed that there wasn’t an eggless option for the lemon curd so I made a vegan version from @itdoesnttastelikechicken. It tasted AMAZING and I am so happy to have been introduced to this dessert. So the original dessert features a horn mold to get a cone shape from the puff pastry. After a sincere attempt and an EPIC FAIL I decided to pivot and turn the puff pastry into cups using…
