Healthy Hostess (Cup)Cake (GF, Vegan, Refined Sugar-free)

By Ashley | Cake , Dessert , Recipes , Uncategorized

Because I was having a nostalgic moment! I’ve seen several variations of Hostess Cupcake revamps and this is my take on the trend!  You can of course make cupcakes if you wish, but the sheet cake version is quicker and easier to assemble!  Hostess Cake Recipe:  1 batch chocolate donuts from my blog (without the spices, baked in a 13X9 pan, cut in half and layered)  Whipped coconut cream (only use thick, sold cream, and […]

Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Blondies (Vegan, GF, Oil-free)

By Ashley | Uncategorized

Sometimes cookies just look and taste better (and feel fancier!) in bar/blondie form! It also means less time scooping and standing over the oven, so it’s a minimalist’s dream! 😉 Speaking of a damn good blondie, I’ve managed to perfect an oil-free version thanks to the magical combo of sweet potato and nut butter! And it’s easily GF and vegan courtesy of Chelsea Approved cookie mix! The texture is amazing along with the fiber content […]

GF Vegan Baked Churros

By Ashley | Dessert , Recipes

Since making diet changes, I’ve found or created allergy-friendly substitutes for just about anything and everything from cakes to donuts to waffles to quiche, barbacoa, mozzarella, milkshakes and beyond . . .

Highly processed vegetable oils, gluten, eggs and dairy are ingredients that […]

A fresh bakery-style blueberry muffin with a giant streusel or sugar top, served warm is one of the best sweet indulgences! But finding one that isn’t full of gluten and dairy is the quite the feat! And TBH, I haven’t quite mastered the perfect flour combo for achieving the perfect muffin texture sans gluten in my trials thus far!  Enter: Chelsea Approved Banana Bread Mix! And although this mix does make an epic banana bread, […]
