As Canadians we’re known to love maple syrup, and as Nova Scotians, we’re also known to love oatcakes. Why not do a lovely combo of the two. Add in some of that cozy chai spice (cinnamon/fennel seed/green cardamom) and you’ve got yourself the best anytime of the day snack, great for dunking in your cupContinue reading “Maple Chai Oatcakes (GF)”

Chocolate Stout Cake
In the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day we’ve whipped up a boozy chocolate cake that’s also vegan! Very simple 30 minute bake that anyone can throw together.

GF Lemon and White Chocolate Cookies
Leftover lemons from the gluten-free pound cake plus cheap white chocolate equals some outstandingly delicious cookies. My SO says these are in his top, if not at the top, of his favourites.

Whip this small batch up in no time and hog them all to yourself if you like, or spread the love and share with your valentine.Continue reading “Chocolate Cookies with Smarties”
Mocha Brownies
A brownie that has ~adult themes~. In all seriousness it’s coffee thrown into the batter and the frosting. Gives it that classy grown up feeling, with the fun of being a brownie. Really easy, one bowl, (less the frosting) and 25 minutes in the oven. Floofly mocha frosting to top things off and if theContinue reading “Mocha Brownies”

Vegan Chocolate Macaroons (GF)
Taking a lovely, tried and true recipe from my aunt and making them into something everyone can enjoy. Her recipe has been used countless times; however with friends having Celiac and some being vegan, I went the extra mile to make them with vegan/gf ingredients. I wasn’t sure they would work the same, but hereContinue reading “Vegan Chocolate Macaroons (GF)”
