The Best Gluten-free Pumpkin Streusel Muffins

September 5, 2019 by healthienut Leave a Comment

When I say these are my new OBSESSION I am not lying to y’all. It was hard for me not to eat the whole batch before taking the photos.

Not only are they so fluffy, but moist, perfectly sweet, crunchy from the streusel…a magical blend of flavors that hits your tongue on all the right spots. Did I intrigue you yet?

These muffins are only sweetened with maple syrup and are 100% gluten-free. Like always I used Bob’s Red Mill GF flour (not sponsored) then with a mix of oat flour.

I did use an egg in this recipe but you can definitely use a flax egg in replace. I always make sure to include a vegan option.

Spicy Italian Chickpea Pasta

A flavorful pasta dish is all I need in life. Fresh herbs, a creamy light tomato sauce, and crunchy chickpeas…I could eat that for the rest of my life.

Not going to lie I love my traditional tomato sauce with spaghetti noodles…but sometimes it’s best to switch things up and kick it up a notch. Add a bit of heat, crunchy beans, and fresh tarragon and you got yourself a damn good pasta dish.

With a light flavorful tomato sauce, fresh herbs, and spicy chickpeas this dish will amaze your taste buds. Pair with some fresh cherry tomatoes and it will be the perfect end of summer dish!

It is fun to get in the kitchen and play around with fresh herbs. I had a lot of fresh oregano and tarragon on hand so I thought what better way to use it up then throw it in an Italian-inspired dish?

Crunchy chickpeas are my favorite topper on a dish and the texture pairs perfectly with the chewy noodles.

Adding a bit of cayenne to the chickpeas adds the perfect heat and kick to the dish as well!…

I am not a huge fan of tomatoes, but if you give me some fresh from the market bursting with flavor and juices then I will eat them any day. As soon as you throw them in a creamy pasta I am all over them.

Pasta shells tossed in a creamy garlic white sauce paired with blistered, roasted cherry tomatoes and charred roasted Brussel sprouts. With fresh garlic and zesty lemon notes….

Vegan Butter “Chicken” with Tofu

June 29, 2018 by healthienut Leave a Comment

There isn’t a day that goes by where I am not craving Indian food. From rich curries, buttery naan, and of course the infamous butter chicken dish. It is incredibly creamy and so flavorful from the delicious spices of garam masala.

Of course, I had to make it vegan so that is where the tofu comes in. Tofu acts as a sponge and it does an amazing job at absorbing all the flavors of the tomato-based sauce and cashew cream. …
