Continue ReadingValentine’s Day is right around the corner, which means I’ve got to get all of my sweet recipes ready! Last year, I made these Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cookies and they were my favorite treat all month long during February. They’re sweet, fun to make, and they’re super festive for a Valentine’s Day dinner or gift. These cookies taste just like a chocolate covered strawberry, with the tanginess of the berry that’s perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the chocolate. They also have a light layer of icing in between, which ties the whole flavor of the cookie together! If you’re…

Continue ReadingHappy New Year everyone! I’m excited to kick off a new year of recipes with these Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Muffins! These muffins are gluten free and dairy free too! I love baking cookies, but lately I’ve been making all the muffin recipes! Especially the big, bakery style muffins that have a fluffy texture and sweet flavor. A couple of weeks ago, my mom asked me if I could make a peanut butter chocolate muffin, and these quickly became one of my favorite recipes I’ve made! They’re so easy, and a fun way to switch things up in the kitchen.…

Continue ReadingI love starting my mornings with a BIG cup of coffee. It always gets my day going and is a cozy way to start the day off. Well, your morning coffee’s new best friend is this Cinnamon Crumble Coffee Cake! I truly can’t think of a better combination. This crumble cake has the lightest, fluffiest texture, paired with the soft streusel that tops the cake. It’s got a sugar and spice vibe, with the bite of the cinnamon and the sweetness of the coconut sugar. I love coffee cakes that are fluffier and that have a crispy top layer to…

Continue ReadingI don’t know about you guys, but Junior Mints were my FAV movie theatre snack when I was little. I had no interest in popcorn, soda, etc, it was all about Junior Mints. When my family would walk into the theatre, I would head straight for the snack counter and secure the goods…so naturally, 20-year old me had to recreate them in a healthier version. These junior mints have 4 ingredients, they’re low in sugar, and have the same sweet, minty taste! For this recipe, I used two of my absolute favorite brands, McCormick Spice and Silk! Ingredients You’ll…

Continue ReadingYou guys! When my mom tasted this recipe, she said…” I think that’s one of the best things you’ve ever made”! I have to say, it’s one of my top five favorites! A Saturday morning experiment turned into the best muffins ever! They have the same texture as a bakery-style blueberry muffin, but they’re made with whole ingredients, and they’re gluten, dairy, and nut free. These muffins are sweetened with coconut sugar and maple syrup, and their base is gluten free all purpose flour. I think you all know I’m a chocolate-lover, and it’s rare that I really love a recipe…

Continue ReadingYou all know I love oatmeal in all of its many forms…whether its a hot bowl of stovetop oats, chilly overnight oats, granola, granola bars, the list goes on! But, one of my favorites and my family’s favorites is baked oats! I can’t put my finger on it, but there’s something about them that’s just so perfect! Especially in the winter months, there’s nothing better. I like to serve them hot, and then eat the bars cold out of the fridge as leftovers! These Baked Oatmeal Bars are my favorite! You can have them for breakfast, dessert, or a snack,…

Continue ReadingCookie dough is a classic favorite! Some say it’s best out of the bowl of cookie dough for baking, but why not let it have it’s own separate recipe?! This 5 Ingredient Edible Cookie Dough only has five ingredients, and the texture is so perfect! Its a single serve recipe, but you can always increase the ingredients to make it a bigger batch for more people. This might be a good idea, because I can guarantee it’ll disappear fast! This cookie dough is made with almond flour, oats, peanut butter, maple syrup, and dark chocolate chips. It has a simple…

Continue ReadingGrowing up, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies were my absolute favorite cookie. Every time my mom would make them, I would run, not walk, to the kitchen. My dad and I always loved stealing bites of the cookie dough before they went in the oven too. When my mom and I started eating gluten and dairy free five years ago, I knew I would miss my oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I finally recreated them a few weeks ago, and it’s making me feel like a kid all over again! I like to eat my cookies frozen, but these are fab…
