A round, sweet bread, rolled in coconut and has a cream type of filling in the middle.
Something I came up with on a whim while trying to think of a recipe for a family tea-time gathering while using up fridge and pantry goods. The secret is in the base ingredient, who would have thought!
A great addition to the tea tray or dessert table for those who go vegan, gluten free... or not! Delicious, buttery and tart from the cranberries, these use ground nuts instead of flour!

d-recover-vegan-chia-pudding/ this creamy, almost tapioca-style pudding is chock full of Omegas, protein and calcium to help you through your day. Makes about 3/4 cup of pudding
Same basic recipe as the Crisco Cookies, but with a GF flour blend that just so happens to have whole grains too!
Adapted slightly from Alice Medrich's Sinfully Easy Delicious Desserts. If you're a vanilla lover, this is for you! They're very vanilla-y, but basic enough that you can play around with all sorts of fillings and frostings to make them your own. Try serving these plain with a "do it yourself" frosting bar for your child's next birthday party!
Yes, this is a "cheater" recipe - using a mix - but really, some days you just need a cookie! I jazzed up the basic base with a diced red pear, organic raisins and a handful of dark chocolate chips, so the end result is anything but a boring old "box-mix" cookie!
Milk chocolate-studded gluten, egg and nut free cookies that are moist and rich... not to mention simple! Based on a recipe from glutenfreeeasily.com/chocolate-bombs-chewy

Who can resist the siren song of rich chocolate, creamy hazelnuts, crushed chocolate cookies and chewy, wholesome oat bran? All wrapped up in an eggless nibble perfect for the lunchbox. Note for milk allergies that Oreo crumbs contain whey, use your preferred substitute if necessary.
Healthy sweet and spicy "hummus" that tastes just like Grandma's peanut butter cookie dough!
This Christmas cake (originally from Sienna) has a chewy, almost taffy-like texture which comed from melted chocolate, sugar, honey and (my secret ingredient) melted Tootsie Rolls. A hefty dose of cocoa powder, mincemeat, nuts and seeds gives this a flavour that's hard to resist!
For a little textural dimension in the filling to pair up with the new chilli, cinnamon and cocoa blend I made up, I tossed walnuts and crunchy honey-sweetened granola with the spice. Heavily adapted from the "Cinnamon Swirl Bread" on the blog What Megan's Making.
A"maize"ing Sweet and Spicy Corn Bread ready to serve! Who wants a piece (or 3?) Sooooo good AND low fat too!
Any thick puree of fruit (or fruit and vegetables!) works for this snacking cake - I love using my Honeyed Carrot Cake Butter, but apple, peach or pear work just as well.
With lots of iron, calcium, potassium and vitamin E, these two-bite granola bars are a great on-the-go snack that happens to be vegan, nut free and without and extra refined sugar!
Gluten free and (almost) vegan, these crisp cookies are made with a rich-tasting blend of whole grain flours and ground flax for extra nuttiness. Sweetened with decadent honey and molasses, they're delicious on their own, in s'mores(!) and absolutely perfect for making crumbs!
Adapted from the Dehydrator Bible, this recipe infuses thinly sliced tofu with a sweet, savoury and slightly spicy marinade before dehydrating it to chewy, easy to store strips. Store in the fridge or freezer for longest shelf life, since tofu contains fat it can still go rancid even when dried!
These take a bit of "curing" time in the fridge, but as soon as you bite into a crunchy, perfectly aged sour garlic dill you'll forget all about the wait! Makes about 3 lbs of pickles - use small, "warty" cukes if you can get them!
Being in a bit of a "funk" the past few days, I whipped up these cakey, sweet banana muffins to lift my spirits. In paying homage to the band "Blue Monday" by New Order, I tinted the batter blue to match the mood.
The best of every sandwich you could ever ask for! A slice of this crazy banana and oatmeal quickbread, made moist with yogurt, encompasses a body spiked with peanut butter and a ribbony filling of jam! Use your favourite flavour jam for these, or go the extra decadent route and make it with a ribbon of pie filling instead!

These are puffy, soft and delicious morsels studded with raisins and lifted with a hint of lemon – perfect and vitamin filled for school lunches!
Poppyseeds, coconut, banana and orange blend seamlessly with a 7-grain pancake mix of all things to create decadent and completely sugarless puffs. Feel free to have two or three, guilt free!
Delicious flavours of sun-dried tomatoes, lemon juice, garlic and rosemary blend into tangy goat cheese and plain fat-free cream cheese for a delicious addition to crudites or pita chips! 2 tbsp per serving.
A wonderful, thick and flavourful jam for Challah over Chanukah, or if you're my family, Challah on Christmas morning!
