My two drugs of choice, chocolate and coffee join forces in this decadent (yet gluten-free and vegan!) show-stopping tart. This dessert is perfect for the holidays and can be made a few days ahead of time 😉 Budino aka Italian pudding is typically made with sugar, cream and eggs but I created this plant-based sugarless version so you can indulge in a slice and still feel awesome!  Nut butter and coconut cream are healthy sources […]

These immunity donuts were so damn tasty I decided to use that same cake batter to bring you another delicious fall-spiced, ultra-healthy dessert! This time, a beautiful cake adorned with coconut cream, chopped dark chocolate with ginger pieces, and an indulgent fudge sauce.

Also, lentil hummus is ultra smooth because unlike beans, red lentils don’t have a distinctive “skin.” My preferred hummus also involves roasting the garlic first and swapping tahini for almond […]

Ringing in Fall with these super simple, seasonal Pumpkin Latte Brownies! It’s taken me 5 whole years to post a brownie recipe!!!
