Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is my go-to recipe for chocolate chip cookies. The sugar is replaced with turbinado and the chocolate chips with carob chips. It’s easy and cooks in a mere 10-12 minutes. These have a soft, cakey texture with a slight caramel twang.

Banana Mint Chocolate Bites

I’m always on the lookout for desserts that give me that post-meal sweetness I crave without overdosing on the sugar or fat. This is a fresh dessert or snack recipe that has just enough chocolate in there to satisfy your needs. The fresh mint adds an extra element of lightness that keeps your breath fresh [...]

Healthy Snickers

Snickers are heavy and unapologetically so. Sure they give you a boost of energy, but not so much long after do they send you into a sugar crash. They’re packed with sugar, milk fat and other additives. The best way to eat Snickers right is to eat the homemade. Enjoy!

Vegan Chocolate Cake with Vegan Chocolate Cream Sauce

This is a winner. It’s one of those desserts that has a thicker icing than cake – totally my style. You could actually just make the icing and treat it like a pudding. No eggs, no cream, no milk, no unhealthy fats, no white flour, no white sugar, no guilt. Have that second or third [...]

Tahini Chocolate Banana Sandwich

EcoSalon: Reese’s

In my latest contribution to EcoSalon, I tackled Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. It’s hard to mess this one up, because the flavor combination simply works so well together. With a base of coconut butter, cocoa powder and peanut butter, this is bound to be your newest favorite healthy dessert. Enjoy!

Almost-Raw Vegan Oreos

Oreo cookies can be healthy! To be honest, the recipe looks more like an Oreo cookie than it tastes. The texture is different and the taste is richer, but it’s absolutely decadent and delicious in its own right. Oreo cookies are generally packed to the brim with absolutely nothing but empty carbs and questionable ingredients. [...]

Video: Chocolate Soft-Serve

Chocolate Soft-Serve Happy Tuesday. Here is a video recipe for banana chocolate soft-serve ice cream. It really doesn’t get any easier and more delicious than this! Enjoy!

Chocolate Breakfast

Chocolate is always welcome in my kitchen. This recipe involves chocolate, coconut, banana, berries, and honey – and for breakfast, no less. This is a sweeter and more indulgent take on the traditional one-ingredient banana soft-serve. Enjoy first thing in the morning, as a snack, or for dessert.

Chocolate Pudding

No milk or sugar here. Just four ingredients too! I know it sounds a little odd and the idea isn’t all that appetizing, but an avocado-based chocolate pudding does not taste like avocado. With the addition of vanilla and honey, the characteristic avocado taste is masked, leaving behind only the inherent creaminess it so wonderfully [...]
