Avocado Chocolate Chip Cookies

Avocados are so incredible and can be used in so many ways. Replacing butter with avocados for baking is dope. It also adds some healthy fats and fiber to the recipe. I used spelt flour for this recipe, which makes a dense but soft cookie. You can always use a different flour. These cookies are very soft and not too sweet, with a nice balance of flavors. If you like a sweeter cookie, you can use extra brown sugar in place of the coconut sugar.

Mango Rolls with Butterfly Pea Passion Fruit Icing

This sweet (but not too sweet) treat is sure to please, especially if you rock with the color purple like I do! Just a touch of Butterfly Pea Flower powder gives the icing the most beautiful hue.

Pumpkin Pie Pop-Tart

We're diving straight into fall vibes with this copycat version of a Pumpkin Pie Pop-Tart. I used maple syrup, nutmeg, cinnamon, and pumpkin purée for the filling and made two different icings for this recipe. One icing is maple cream cheese (plant-based of course) topped with orange and lemon zest. The other is maple pumpkin with chia seeds (for color). Hope you enjoy this fall / Halloween inspired treat.

Caramel Pear 🍐 Pockets

This recipe is one of my favorites for pear season. When I made this recipe the first time, I used sweetened condensed coconut milk, but I have yet to find a good one that is not on Peta's "bad list" of suppliers. I have not tried this, but you should be able to swap the sweetened condensed coconut milk for brown rice syrup. If you try this recipe, let me know what you think.

Quinoa Crunch Bar

In my early days of crafting recipes, I often whipped up candy bars to satisfy my sweet cravings. This particular recipe stands out for its simplicity and premium ingredients. If you manage to find some quinoa puff, this is a must-try. And if you're aiming for a milk chocolate texture, a dash of oat milk does the trick.

Tamarind Pineapple Toaster Pastry

Talk about an updated classic! This Tamarind Pineapple Toaster Pastry is exactly what I was craving the weekend I created this recipe. The combination of tamarind and pineapple is magical. If you try these at home, remember to seal the dough well so you don’t lose your gooey Tamarind Pineapple Filling. Also, if you make these in a large batch, you can freeze them without the icing and reheat as desired.
