These muffins are a great use for peaches that have passed their prime for fresh eating, or for canned peaches if fresh aren’t in season. Gorgeous presentation and great for breakfast or a quick snack.
A variation on crunchy, savoury breadsticks, using rustic, “peasantry” ingredients like rolled oats, whole wheat flour and cornmeal, paired with the luxurious additions of rich honey, extra-virgin, imported olive oil and ground saffron! With such an amazing combination on my hands, I almost had to steal them for myself!
Peanut butter + Nutella, with a good shot of hemp protein and tofu thrown in - don't look at me like that! You'd never be able to tell! These are some huge, chewy, rich cookies, and they SPREAD - space them well!
It may look like brownies, but there is NO cocoa or chocolate in the batter... only a smattering of chocolate chips! The dark colour comes from the Purple Haze carrots that make up the base of this snacking cake.
Who would think of putting together peanut butter chips, toffee pieces and candy coated SUNFLOWER SEEDS in a chocolate cookie batter?? Well, that's what happens when you prowl the local Bulk Barn on sale day! With no solid fats either, these are slightly less of a guilty pleasure!
I whipped these up today for my little sister... she'll never be able to guess they aren't the usual suspects!
A quick dry mix for chocolate brownies, with yummy wholewheat flour! Makes enough for 2 pans, NI without optional nuts or chips..
More like chewy, free-form mini-cakes than cookies, these are healthy snacks are filled with the goodness of green tea, whole grains, ginger, rice and almonds! Great for a midday snack with (what else?) a cuppa the green stuff!
Not too sweet, but definitely chewy. Terrific with ice-cold milk, or to make mini ice-cream sandwiches!
These are truly the miracle snack when you are craving a treat and you have dietary restrictions! These are wheat free, vegan, low sugar and low fat cherry chocolate-chip muffins – you would never know it! A special ingredient is the inclusion of coconut flour, which adds such a rich tropical taste. A quick note though: If you don't eat them in the first two days, freeze them. Simply zap in the microwave for about 30 seconds and they taste like they were right out of the oven! I found coconut flour at Bulk Barn, and the Sunspire chips at the health food store.
These baked delicacies are reminiscent of double chocolate cake doughnuts found almost everywhere. They are made healthier with whole-wheat flour and no hydrogenated oil, lighter with the addition of skim milk and a Splenda frosting, and richer with a spike of coffee
An easy and quick way to use up the fruits of summer that you aren't able to eat right out of hand!
A fusion-inspired, whole-grain cookie blending together the traditional Western taste of apples and cherries with the Asian ingredients of tahini and toasted sesame seeds.
A great, creamy version of Macaroni and Cheese made with canellini beans and tomatoes. Easy to prep using the microwave and a blender before being popped into the oven for a homey touch!
These elegant, orangey-hued and intensely flavoured cookies get an added touch from bittersweet chocolate chips!
Coming from one of the Stepfather’s momma’s cook-notes: Honey is the basic flavour in these classic light fluffy dough Italian cookies. Americans call these a "Sweet Roll".
A couple interesting ingredients make these cookies unique Kamut flour for a delicious buttery note and texture, cream cheese for tenderness, a touch of nutmeg for that bakery aroma and a combination of three sugars and corn syrup for an out-of-this-world chewy / crispy bite! These are best if the dough is wrapped and chilled overnight (or up to 3 days!) in the fridge, but works for immediate baking too.

The cookies don't spread too much, so be sure to press them down a bit after portioning onto the sheets.
Modified from a recipe found on Jamie's blog http://tinyurl.com/lkzfjz who adapted it from Allrecipes. My version is egg-free, whole grain, slightly lower in added sugar which compensates for all the butterscotch chips folded in! It's been a hit at bakesales!
These bars can also be made into a llayered "cake" - just divide the batter between two 8" pans. I think a peanut butter or a cream cheese frosting would be delicious between the layers, or even plain ol' strawberry jam! Sometimes I make two pans and sprinkle the top of one with chopped walnuts for variety and added protein too.
Glittering with coarse sugar, these naturally dyed, chewy cookies are a gorgeous addition to the party - especially when piped (or hand-forned) into hearts or swirls.
With such few ingredients and a great opportunity to make a mess, fresh pasta is a perfect opportunity to get kids into the kitchen! My grade 1-3 class loved everything from mixing to kneading to rolling and cutting, and gobbled it up!
These vegan bars are like squares of indulgent banana bread - you'd never suspect the oats and whole wheat!
While this is technically "baby food", don't discount its benefits in baking! It adds a rich moisture to any chocolate treat without the fat! Whether you use the cooking liquid as juice or as a cooking ingredient (try making oatmeal with it!), do not throw it out: much of the Iron and Vitamin C that prunes are known for are in the juice too.
If you (or your kids) love PB&J sandwiches at lunch but nuts are a no-go at school or work, try this nut and peanut free, gluten free, soy free and vegan spread on for size! It has all the delicious roasted flavour of the original but with less fat and minimal allergens to worry about. You can even bake and cook with it!
Think peanut butter granola - but with chopped peanuts and coarsely ground popcorn in place of the oats! It's a great taste of the ballpark at home. Im not telling you what to do, but IMHO this would make a delicious breakfast cereal (or ice cream topping!)
These gluten free and vegan Chewy Chocolate Chippers get an extra pop of texture from coarse sugar and kosher salt.
