Vegan Nutella Granola. I bought some hazelnuts the other day to make my No Bake Nutella Bites. I had quite a few left over, so I thought about making a Nutella granola. Yes!
You can now have dessert for breakfast. This granola is vegan, soy free, dairy free and contains no refined sugars!
This granola kind of reminded me of my Peanut Butter Cup Granola. This would go perfect with my Homemade Hemp Milk.
I love Beer Bread. I made it with white whole wheat flour. When I was writing my post about flours, I learned that there is such a thing as white whole wheat flour.
I always thought if a flour had the word white in front of it, that it was highly refined. Not the case with white whole wheat. It is a whole grain from a different kind of wheat.
So I bought a bag last weekend. First, I made my Pumpkin Spiced Waffles with it. They came out light and fluffy, much different than when I bake with whole wheat flour.
Then, I thought it would be great to make a bread with. So I decided on beer bread.
My first batch of beer bread did not come out well at all. I cooked it to long and the taste was off. So this is my second attempt and it came out great.
This bread is so easy to make. There is not much kneading involved at all really. I didn’t let my dough rise either. It has a great taste and can be used as a burger bun or eaten with soup or chili.
This beer bread is:
I highly recommend this Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding. I have been really into chia seeds lately. They are so good for you and the high fiber content keeps you full for a long time. So when Pacific Foods sent me a few samples of their unsweetened non dairy milk, I knew I had to make a chocolate chia seed pudding.
I already have a Chia Seed Pudding on the blog, but this time I decided to switch it up and do a chocolate version. I used Pacific’s new unsweetened hemp milk for this recipe.
I love the unsweetened milk because I like to control the sugar in my recipes. This tastes decadent enough to have for dessert, but it’s also healthy enough to have for breakfast!
I have been pretty stoked lately to see the organic berries coming back to the supermarket. I have been waiting for them all winter. They taste so good.

Both my kids loved it. Even my daughter Olive, who is tube fed, ate this up as you can see from the messy face in the next picture. Who can say no to anything chocolate?
Another great thing about this healthy chia seed pudding is that you can easily take it to work with you. Just put it in a small mason jar and you are on your way to work! It’s a healthy breakfast recipe that should keep you fueled all the way until lunchtime.
Here are some recipes you can add chia seeds to:
So you can see they are very versatile.
Healthy enough for breakfast, but can be dessert too!
This recipe is super easy and my kind of recipe! If you like a thicker pudding though, you can add a bit less milk.
Healthier Vegan Nutella Bites. Omg. These might be the most delicious little bitesI have ever made. I know I said this once before after I made the No Bake Cookie Dough Bites, but these even out shine those!
My mom is German, so I grew up eating Nutella. When I was little, I would grab the jar and run to my room to eat it. Now I know that it isn’t very good for you.
Being vegan meant giving it up as well. I missed it terribly so I had to come up with a vegan friendly version. There are no funky ingredients in these. They take only minutes to throw together.
That’s right. You could be only minutes away from popping one of these delicious balls of goodness into your mouth. 🙂 Can it get any better?

I’m not gonna lie, I may have had a few tastes. I got about 15-17 balls out of this batch. Enjoy!
I know it’s not exactly fall anymore, but I didn’t have my waffle iron back in the fall so I am making pumpkin spiced waffles now. 🙂 Since we got the waffle iron, waffles have become a weekend tradition. My daughter Meadow seems to just love them. I have made Blueberry Oatmeal Waffles and Strawberry Banana Waffles in the past. This week I made these pumpkin spiced waffles and they were a hit!
Recently, in my quest to learn all about flours, I learned that there is such a thing as white whole wheat and that it is actually a whole grain. So I bought a bag and made these with it. I think they turned out much fluffier than waffles made with whole wheat. I can’t wait to experiment more with it. I find it works well to mix all the dry ingredients the night before so these can be made quickly in the morning for my hungry three year old.
I got about 5-6 big waffles out of this recipe. You can freeze the extras if you have any. Just place a sheet of parchment paper in between each one. Easy peasy.
Copycat Banana Bread Larabar Bites. I just love making larabars! So easy and they take minutes to make.
My favorite is still my coconut cream, but I think these banana bread larabar bites are my daughter Meadow’s favorite. This is also a reader fave! It’s easy to see why, they are delicious!
I think my husband’s favorite is the Chocolate Brownie. This banana bread recipe took me two tries to get right.
I wanted to change it up, so this time I rolled them into bite sized balls instead of bars. I got about 20-25 bites out of this batch.

Keep them stored in the fridge and they should last a couple of weeks. Mine have never lasted more than a handful of days though!
