Yum to this cake. This vegan cake recipe has proven to be a regular in this household. It is so moist and fluffy without being at all complicated. One would never know it is a vegan recipe, either.

Chocolate-Peanut Butter-Banana Sugar Free Cupcakes
I tried a variation on my original sugar-free banana peanut butter muffins – adding cocoa! This addition and a one other, makes these dense, rich treats more cupcake-like than before. I highly recommend you try this and some other swaps – you could switch the peanut butter for any nut butter. You could switch the bananaContinue reading “Chocolate-Peanut Butter-Banana Sugar Free Cupcakes”

Actually he said, “These are the best cookies you have ever made.” Followed by a quick, “Good thing you didn’t make the whole batch or I would sit here and eat them all night.” Followed by, “Seriously, you can make those anytime you want.” This time I used a mixture of Truvia andContinue reading “The Best Cookies Ever”

I wish I could come home to this as a snack every day after work. It would be such a nice way to enjoy my afternoon.

Super Bowl Surprise (vegan) Cake Part II
As usual this dairy-free and vegan cake was a huge hit, when we brought the pan home there were only a couple small bites left. I wanted to lick the pan clean, but resisted. Notice the sliding marks from knives and forks scarping the good stuff off the bottom of the pan.
