  • The Easiest Almond Flour Pumpkin Bread (vegan + paleo)

    The Easiest Almond Flour Pumpkin Bread made with all vegan and paleo ingredients for a simple and healthy pumpkin loaf.

    A few weeks ago I shared my Classic Gluten-free Pumpkin Bread.

    And needless to say, that recipe has been one of the most popular on the blog to date.

    I have received a ton of comments about substitutions for it. More than usual, which I’m not entirely sure why. Usually I receive a few here and there but there was influx on how to make that pumpkin loaf both grain-free and vegan.

    So here we are friends!

    A few weeks and tries later, we have the Easiest Almond Flour Pumpkin Bread at our fingertips.

    I use a small handful of ingredients to create this loaf. It is a little moist on the inside (almond flour absorbs more liquid ingredients than grain-based flours) and also has zero added sugar!

    Here are the key ingredients you will need to whip this loaf up!

    • Flax egg. Instead of pasture-raised eggs. I would assume they work as well in here but I haven’t tried.
    • Organic unsweetened pumpkin. The star of the show!
    • Garden of Life Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. 99% of my baking recipes include this oil
    • Garden of Life Organic Ground Flaxseed. Since we aren’t using a grain-based flour, I wanted to add a bit more of something to bulk this up and make the texture less “wet”.
    • Almond flour. I use the Trader Joe’s brand. Please do not use almond meal! I also haven’t used coconut flour. Please refer to this blog post before subbing coconut flour

  • Classic Gluten-free Banana Bread Recipe

    Sharing my Classic Banana Bread Recipe made with all gluten-free ingredients for an easy, no-frills, healthy kind of banana bread recipe!

    Sharing my Classic Banana Bread Recipe made with all gluten-free and nut-free ingredients for an easy, no-frills, healthy kind of banana bread recipe. Plus it is perfect for toddlers since there is no added sugar (just banana!)

    Sharing my Classic Banana Bread Recipe made with all gluten-free ingredients for an easy, no-frills, healthy kind of banana bread recipe!

    I have made approximately 1,000 banana breads  on in my kitchen to share on the blog. But none of these are your classic banana bread recipe.

    You know, the that doesn’t have nut butter or chocolate chips or anything else in it.

    Now don’t get it twisted, you know I am the first person to crave everything nut butter and chocolate. But this banana bread is so simple and sometimes that is what we are craving.

    A gluten-free twist on classic banana bread is here.

    This recipe is also nut-free and lower in sugar than most banana breads. I use 1/4 cup of coconut sugar in the whole thing then just your bananas for natural sweetness. I want Ezra to eat everything I bake these days, and giving a wild child extra sugar doesn’t sound too appealing (love ya Ez!). You can also omit the coconut sugar, which I have done as well!

    You can of course add in some mixed nuts, blueberries, chocolate chips, anything your heart desires when you bake this. But I personally like keeping things as simple and classic as possible over here. Continue Reading

  • The Best Paleo Pumpkin Banana Bread Muffins

    The Best Paleo Pumpkin Banana Bread Muffins

    The Best Paleo Pumpkin Banana Bread Muffins using my favorite mix from Simple Mills and a few other healthy ingredients

    The Best Paleo Pumpkin Banana Bread Muffins

    I didn’t think it was possible to love a muffin recipe so much. But these pumpkin banana muffins are truly some of the best muffins I have ever eaten.

    Likely because Simple Mill’s does half the work for us here, so the amount of effort we put in it minimal.

    It has taken me until October to combine banana bread AND pumpkin bread into one perfect muffin. And part of me thinks that took way too long, but the other part of me is too busy swooning over these bad boys.

    Simple Mill’s baking mixes are the best.

    I personally find that the Simple Mill’s Pumpkin Muffin & Bread mix one of their most underrated products. But then again, I truly love every single thing that they make. So to even pick a favorite is nearly impossible. Obviously for fall the pumpkin mix is my favorite, but I also bake and snack on everything they offer.

    Their mixes are all grain-free, have no refined sugars, creepy oils or anything. They are pretty much the ingredients we use in our own kitchen but in a box ready to whip up. Continue Reading

  • Chewy Grain-free Banana Bread Granola with Clusters

    The Best Chewy Banana Bread Granola with Clusters made with all grain-free and refined sugar-free ingredients!

    More granola is HERE my friends.

    There is no such thing as too much granola in my opinion. An absolute staple in my daily life (not kidding) and on most mornings you can find me shoveling this into my mouth as I nurse Ezra and patiently wait to eat my breakfast.

    Usually I am all about the crunchy granola and I even keep it in the fridge 99% of the time. But today, we are switching things up.

    We are making CHEWY granola for the first time on the blog!

    For some reason the word “chewy” really is just one of those words that kind of grosses me out. Similar to how “moist” may bother some (but not me), “chewy” is something that makes me kinda of like “uhhh..”.

    But truthfully there is no other word to describe the texture of this granola. It really turned out so chewy and I am pretty sure its from the mashed banana added to the mix.

    Did I mention there is no sugar added to this granola besides banana and the chocolate chips?! It is insane. And usually it’s the sugars the give the granola the extra clusters. Continue Reading

  • The Best Gluten-free Pumpkin Bread Ever

    You guys have been patiently waiting for this bread for a month now. I know, i know, you probably hate me.

    But I promise this bread was well worth the wait. Plus it helps built up a little momentum, you know?!

    Today we are making a Classic Pumpkin Bread but with a gluten-free and dairy-free twist.

    There is something about pumpkin bread that truly speaks to my soul. I am aware I sound like a basic girl over here but just stay with me. As someone who doesn’t really crave fall weather or leaves changing or even a pumpkin spice latte, this bread is everything and then some.

    It is made with just a few simple ingredients that you likely have on hand already. You only need things like organic canned pumpkin (unsweetened), coconut oil, coconut sugar, non-dairy milk, and oat flour and a few other goodies.

    It doesn’t require two bowls or 10,000 ingredients to enjoy.

    I am all about making no fuss kind of food. You know when you just dirty up one bowl and barely have any clean up? Ya, that is what I am talking about.

    Speaking of limiting the clean up, have I introduced you to my BFF, parchment paper? Continue Reading

  • The Dreamiest Vegan Banana Bread Crumb Cake (gluten-free)

    Friends, hi! Welcome to September everybody. I hope we all had a great Labor Day Weekend wherever you are!

    Mind boggling to me that it is already September. These months are flying by. Ezra is growing like crazy and I’m over here trying to catch my breath and get ready for the busiest month of the year for us. Between travel, Jord’s birthday, Jewish holidays, anniversaries and a few other family birthdays – September is insanity.

    But not to worry! I still have you covered in the recipe department. In fact this Banana Bread Crumb Cake is one of my absolute favorite recipes to date. Likely because it was a complete mistake and I didn’t think it was going to turn out edible whatsoever. The crumb topping looked weird when I baked it. I didn’t even pay attention to the ratios or bake time then once I slice it and ate some a couple hours later, I was shocked. And also hated myself for a quick minute because I didn’t write anything down. This led me to remaking it again (no complaints) and actually paying attention this time.

    The best healthy banana bread crumb cake is waiting for you..

    I use all vegan, gluten-free, nut-free and dairy-free ingredients in this recipe. I promise it still tastes delicious and so flavorful. It is also refined sugar free so you won’t be in a sugar coma after like the traditional crumb cake. Not like there is anything wrong with that but if you want to eat cake everyday like I do, ya gotta find the healthier options ya know?! Continue Reading

    We talk a lot about pantry items and foods to stock up on in the kitchen, but today we are switching that conversation to chat about one of my favorite baking supplies that I cannot live without.

    I should really just do a whole blog post on If You Care and their insane offerings soon because I would not be doing my job without them. Seriously though – how many of my recipes link to their parchment paper and baking cups. Just two of the many products of theirs I use in the kitchen.

    In case you are wondering what If You Care is, I gotcha covered.

    They produce products with a mission to help reduce the amount of waste in our waste systems. Their packaging is made from all unbleached recycled cardboard or paper, which can then be recycled again. If You Care creates their products to have the lightest carbon footprint possible but still gives us (needy) consumers a variety of products we can use in the kitchen. They are committed to ethical sourcing when it comes it everything. And we are talking a lot of things here. I use everything from their gloves to dishwasher detergent to parchment paper and more.

    Today we are going to highlight their large baking cups, which in my opinion are a life saver. Who wants to scrub a muffin tin every single time you use it?! These bad boys allow for easy removal of baked goods and they are absolutely amazing. They don’t rip or tare and they allow for easy removal for the muffins!

    You will 100% want to stock up on these when you bake these muffins. I’m not a walking commercial here – you guys know I only share the good stuff and what we need! Continue Reading

  • Paleo Double Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

    Posted on August 9, 2019

    Paleo Double Chocolate Chip Banana Bread made with all vegan and gluten-free ingredients for an easy and healthier chocolatey banana bread recipe!

    A few years ago, I shared a Double Chocolate Chip Banana Bread here on the blog. Not only was the recipe mediocre but the photos were pretty unappetizing if you ask me! I then found myself scrolling and looking at other older recipes with an urge to tweak them.

    This recipe is the first of many I’m going to be recreating from the blog. And at this point we’re talking 4+ years ago some of these are from, and I like to think I have brushed up on a few more kitchen and photo skills since then 😉

    Ok ok but this healthy Double Chocolate Chip Banana Bread..

    This bread is a mix of devil’s food cake and banana bread in my opinion. The consistency is extra *moist* and has the best chocolatey flavor to it. Because I added in melted chocolate to the batter plus some cacao powder and chocolate chips. Such a game changer!

    Then there’s the addition of Vital Proteins Hot Cocoa Collagen Latte. Hands down one of my favorite products they have ever created. It is amazing to add just to your smoothies or warmed milk etc. for a drink of sorts but I love to bake with it.

    But what does collagen even do to a recipe? Adding collagen to a recipe doesn’t change the consistency at all but it does add some extra nutritional benefits and protein, which is always a plus if you ask me. Especially when you crave sweets and banana bread 24/7. I need to get some protein in too 😉 Continue Reading

  • Mini Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Oatmeal Bake (vegan + gluten-free)

    Mini Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Oatmeal Bake made with all vegan and gluten-free ingredients with an extra boost for a healthier milk supply for nursing mamas too!

    An oatmeal bake for two? Yes please!

    I am all about the mini recipes these days. Mini pretty much means smaller serving of a recipe around here.

    I know many of you guys are always looking for recipes to make that don’t create a huge batch of something and I totally get it! The more food I have prepped at times the better, but there are times Jord and I don’t always want the same thing to eat and I don’t want to make a huge baked oatmeal or batch of cookies if he isn’t going to eat it too!

    That’s what brings us to this Mini Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Oatmeal Bake. One of the easiest breakfast recipes ever since you pretty much mix a few ingredients together in a bowl, pour into a small cast iron skillet and you’re good to go.

    So what do you need for this mini healthy oatmeal bake?

    I made this oatmeal bake, which made two servings for me. I used my mini cast iron skillet and added in some of my Majka lactation booster for my milk supply. Using the booster is optional in this recipe but for any of my nursing mamas or mama’s to be, I highly recommend trying out Majka’s products. They have helped support my milk supply tremendously over the past few months. I love keeping their bites on hand for snacking (I eat about 2 per day) and their booster to add into recipes.
