Vegan Rhubarb Galette with Buttermilk Cornmeal Crust

June 30, 2019 by healthienut 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.

Chewy Peppermint Cookies

November 27, 2018 by healthienut Leave a Comment

Truth be told I have never been a huge fan of candy canes…but once it comes around to this time of the year I am all about sticking them in my homemade hot cocoa while cozying up by the fireplace. Of course I am a huge fan of holiday cookies, so what better way then to combine the two?

I am not going to lie that these taste like you’re biting into a candy cane, but a bit less artifical tasting and a heck of a lot tastier.

These cookies are extremely chewy with crispy outsides. Bites of peppermint melt in your mouth while getting hints of vanilla embedded in the soft dough. I think these would be perfect to dip in your warm hot cocoa this christmas season.

Yes I know these are not the healthiest cookies for you, but let’s be honest here…I don’t think christmas season is a time where you go out and bake a dozen healthy cookies to enjoy right?

Feel free to get creative with this recipe and add ingredients like:

vegan white chocolate chips
nuts
cocoa powder
chocolate chips

Apple Pie Streusel Muffins

I am officially moved into my dorm! I am both excited, nervous, and still adjusting, but I think I am getting the hang of things. Of course the foodie in me couldn’t wait to bake in the dorms/dorm kitchens…so on the second day I whipped out some ingredients and made a bomb recipe. Don’t worry you can still bake in college you just have to find simple recipes and have the patience!

These super fluffy and moist muffins are embedded with chunks of soft apples and topped with a caramely and crunchy struesal topping. I can say that it is definitely approved by my roomate and floormates.

My number one tip for baking in your dorm halls? Prep ALL the ingredients in your dorm and only go into the kitchen to bake them in the oven. This way you don’t have to haul over all your ingredients and equipment down to the kitchen.

This recipe is both delicious and simple. The perfect duo for college. …
