Roopa I made these chocolate lentil cupcakes a little while ago, and while they were good, they definitely needed some tinkering. I had some ingredients to use up and thought I’d give them another go. They turned out better than the previous attempt, but a little bit dry; I think that I may have undercooked the … More Chocolate Lentil Cupcakes: V2
Roopa Alana went to make a Nanaimo bar cake the other day and came across this intriguing healthy cake recipe; it is a gluten free, lentil based Nanaimo cake. Lentils!!! I am no stranger to lentils, and actually quite enjoy them, but I’d be lying if I said they tasted like anything but health. Cake is … More Chocolate Lentil Cupcakes
RAW VEGAN BROWNIE BITES Roopa These were quite literally the byproduct of hanger [hunger + anger] + a no refined sugar health kick + an insatiable chocolate craving. I raided my kitchen and scrounged up dates, peanut butter, and cocoa. I put them into a food processor with a bit of almond milk until they … More Brownie Bites
Roopa I’m attending a ladies’ night where a lot of my friends have dairy allergies, so I wanted to try and make a vegan cupcake.

Roopa I wanted to try and make a healthy cake that was low in sugar, so I adapted a recipe for a sweet potato cake. The recipe was very similar to some brownies I had tried in the past that turned out really well. I felt that the cake turned out quite well – it was … More Gluten Free Vegan Sweet Potato Cake
Roopa After the success of the gluten free banana muffins, I wanted to try adding peanut butter to them. I also wanted to make them a little bit healthier, so I replaced the butter and applesauce with peanut butter. You really can’t go wrong with banana and peanut butter; it’s a pretty spectacular combination. They … More Gluten Free & Vegan Peanut Butter Banana Muffins
Roopa I have been meaning to try some healthyish gluten free baking for ages, and FINALLY invested in some xanthan gum. I figured I’d start with banana muffins – they have a lot of fruit, and bananas act as good binders as well. Between the bananas and xanthan gum, I was pretty confident I could … More Gluten Free Banana Muffins
