Say helloooo to your new favorite fancy cookie. Crisp, buttery shortbread. Rich, gooey caramel. And salted dark chocolate. We’re really raising our Christmas cookie standards this year! I must say this recipe is a one for true bakers who enjoy the process of seeing a recipe come together. It’s not the quickest. And the ingredient list is longer than average. In other words, it’s the perfect project for a cold winter day when you just […]
These fluffy, yet rich snickerdoodles are the ultimate holiday cookie. Bursting with cinnamon flavor and the perfect cakey texture, no one will guess they are grain-free, vegan, and free of refined sugar and oil! My love affair for snickerdoodles is due to the fact that:A) I have always loved soft, cinnamony thingsB) I never had a snickerdoodle until I was an adult, so I am making up for lost time! So naturally, they’re my go-to […]

And as much as I personally love ALLLL the squash, this dessert doesn’t have that typically in-your-face pumpkin flavor and texture you get from pumpkin pie. It’s much more subtle, and rather refreshing! And like many of my other […]

I know. I know. The words chia pudding and sugarless don’t exactly make ya salivate. And they certainly don’t evoke memories of warm, gooey cinnamon rolls. But if you can get over the fact that this is a light, healthy meal without any bread-like texture or painstakingly sweet icing, this is a flavorful breakfast you will certainly enjoy! The magic here is thanks to . . . 1) Cinnamon bark oil – it adds mega […]
Three of my most beloved fall flavors come together in these Cinnamon Maple Oat Cookies with Pumpkin Buttercream. Cinnamon: the ultimate sweet Autumn spice. Maple Syrup: the scent alone is sweet, rich, and intoxicating. Pumpkin: obviously, a late-September requirement! The result is a chewy cookie with a soft center enveloped in a fluffy pumpkin-infused frosting. Think the Oatmeal Creme Pie of your childhood – but a lot more sophisticated, and dare a say, HEALTHY?! AKA, […]
