Let me just start off by saying this is not one of those ordinary vegan peanut butter cup cakes!
Sure everyone’s got a Vegan Peanut Butter Cup Cake that claims to be “the best”.
You know the ones that are just chocolate cake with boring old peanut butter buttercream
And a bunch of store bought peanut butter cups thrown on top for garnish?
Well not this Vegan Peanut Butter Cup Cake!
This is anything but boring with authentic copy cat Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup filling stuffed into each layer!
And let’s not forget the homemade peanut butter cups that will put Reese’s and th ..read more

Reduced Sugar and reduced oil vegan lemon blueberry bread?!
How can it even be possible? LOL
As many of you may already know applesauce,bananas and pumpkin are great oil replacers in many recipes.
And I am doing exactly that by making this entire vegan lemon blueberry bread with just four tablespoons of oil total!
That means that if you cut this loaf into eight slices it’s less than 1½ teaspoons of oil per serving!
With monk fruit sugar in place of half of the granulated sugar I am really asking for trouble!
Somehow I eat way too much when there is less sugar and oil in a recipe!
Also if you ..read more

Vegan Icebox Cake has been renamed by me as the No Bake Meltaway Cake
Because it literally melts in your mouth with every bite!
You can seriously eat this entire vegan icebox cake without a second thought since it is so light and airy!

Consisting of alternating layers of whipped cream and Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafer Cookies
However most people will recognize the ice box cake as layers of graham c ..read more

Finally a burger bun recipe that stays soft and fluffy for days!
The best way I can describe how these taste is if you have ever eaten a potato roll
They are so soft and light yet they will hold up to the drippiest of burgers or sandwiches.
Make them slightly smaller and serve them up in a basket along with your dinner spread.
They also freeze perfectly so make up a big batch like I do and you always have fresh buns at your fingertips!
Even if you don’t have a stand mixer you can do all the mixing by hand!
WATCH THE YOUTUBE VIDEO FOR HOW TO MAKE THIS BURGER BUN RECIPE!
Yield: 12 Bu ..read more

Then the only special tools you need is a large petal tip.
