The Best Gluten-free Chocolate Chip Cookies

by Leave a Comment

They’re gluten-free, lower in sugar, vegan, so simple, and so delicious. I’m bummed I couldn’t share these on National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day, but I’m bringing you the recipe now and you don’t want to skip out on it.

Chewy and soft inside with a slightly crispy outside. Embedded with gooey chocolate chips and a hint of almond.

Sweetened with coconut sugar and maple syrup.

As mentioned in a previous recipe, my absolute favorite gluten-free flour blend to use is Bob’s Red Mill 1-1 GF flour. It already contains xanthum gum and always creates the perfect texture! (Not sponsored).

These are secretly healthier than your average blondie. Sweetened with coconut sugar and 100% gluten-free. And of course they are also completely vegan.

I highly recommend to sprinkle with a little flaky sea salt when they come right out of the oven!

Vegan Rhubarb Galette with Buttermilk Cornmeal Crust

by Leave a Comment

Rhubarb Season isn’t short, so run to the farmers market as soon as you can and grab a couple pounds of fresh, ripe rhubarb. Often times people can be scared cooking/baking with rhubarb, as it’s a foreign vegetable -yes it’s a vegetable -to most. On my blog you’ll find a few delicious rhubarb recipes, as well as this one which I think has to be my favorite. 

A sweet, tart rhubarb filling wrapped in a soft, buttery buttermilk cornmeal crust. The bits of fine cornmeal add a nice crunch which pairs beautifully with the buttery undertones. I’ll stop making you drool now, and get on with the recipe.

Blueberry Lemon Bars | Gluten Free & Vegan

If you get the chance to dive into the recipes on my blog chances are you will find many lemon recipes. I love lemon…it is tasty in everything -from savory to sweet. I am surprised I haven’t gotten the chance to veganize one of my favorite lemon recipes -lemon bars. 

Toss in some fresh, seasonal blueberries, dust with powdered sugar, and you will be in heaven. These bars will melt in your mouth and you would never believe the “buttery” shortbread crust is gluten-free. You won’t miss any eggs or butter in this recipe. I got you covered. …
