NEW: Healthy-ISH Vegan Carrot Cake!!
|
Hi Reader, I am so excited to share this new cake recipe with you! And not just because it is GOOD. But also because I'm not sure I had it in me to test it one. more. time. 😂 It's funny how easily some recipes come together, while others.... 🫠 There are already plenty of vegan carrot cake recipes out there, but I wanted something slightly different. I wanted a combination of healthy-ish (no oil and less sugar), made with common ingredients, that still tastes decadent and luxurious, as cake should! And finally, we got there. 🥳
And that frosting? It's worth celebrating all on its own! No vegan butter, cashews, coconut, OR oil and much less sugar than your average frosting. Heck, you can even make it entirely sugar-free, if you want to!

Hi Reader, Well, it looks like I get to eat my words today. 😅 In last week's email I shared this new date-sweetened oat ice cream. I mentioned how amazing the oatmeal trick is for ice cream (which is true), but I also said that I "couldn't imagine falling back on everyone's old standby - coconut milk." And then what did I do this week? I made coconut milk ice cream. 🤦🏻♀️ My intention was to re-test and photograph the oldest ice cream recipe on the blog - because updating old content is...
Hi Reader, If you've been a subscriber for a while, you probably know I have a thing for vegan ice cream... More specifically, a thing for using OATS to create super creamy, healthier, dairy-free ice cream! It's a trick I learned years ago from Miyoko Schinner's cookbook, The Homemade Vegan Pantry. And it works SO well, I can't imagine falling back on everyone's old standby - coconut milk. Flavors I've shared so far: vanilla-maple lemon pistachio butter pecan cranberry eggnog pumpkin This new...
