These cupcakes are incredibly chewy and moist. They taste like a traditional brownie, but there's no sugar or flour, and they're completely raw. The icing is just as rich and delicious, and it only contains cashews and agave (or date paste).

This dessert is a deceptively simple crowd pleaser. It's light and refreshing with minimal processed sugar. It's also beautiful, and almost impossible to screw up. I've brought this to two family gatherings so far, and it's been a huge hit. No one ever suspects that it's vegan! A few notes, be sure to cut up the fruit … Continue reading Easy Summer Dessert: {vegan} Fruit Tart
When I was growing up, every Saturday after dance class we'd pick up a pizza for dinner from an Italian restaurant near my house. Every once in a while we'd get cannolis because they had *the* best homemade cannolis. I'm super snobby about cannolis (and tirimisu) and I promise these will not disappoint. I was … Continue reading Recipe: Incredibly Easy Homemade Cannoli

You can add in raisins and chocolate chips if you like, or leave them out if you don't. There's no added sugar in these. The sweetness comes from the banana. I prefer to use … Continue reading Recipe: Peanut Butter Protein Cookies

I always get a little nervous, just because I don't want people to think I'm being pretentious, and I also don't want anyone to … Continue reading Raspberry Cheesecake
This is one of my favorite desserts because it's so easy. This weekend we had peanut butter chocolate chip, but the possibilities are endless. For Valentine's Day I made a Cherry Garcia flavor with frozen bananas, frozen cherries, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. We always have bananas in the freezer, just in case, but they … Continue reading Recipe: Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
Let me preface this post by saying: I am *the* worst baked good decorator on the planet. I think it's a lot of fun, but I just don't have that skill. I can barely icing a cupcake without it looking it like someone smushed it on the floor. Second disclaimer: This cake is completely egg/dairy … Continue reading My First Decorated Cake That Looked Like It Was Supposed To
I like to think of these as fake little macaroons, or Mounds bites. They're my go-to snack when it's 8 o'clock at night and I'm craving something sweet. They take about 5 minutes to prepare and 10-13 minutes to bake and only use 3 ingredients. (The thing on the right is a "dirty diaper". It's … Continue reading Chocolate Filled Coconut Bites
