This easy-to-make blueberry fig vegan skillet cake is moist, slightly sweet and filled with delicious summer fruits. Perfect for brunch or dessert. By this time last year, I’d already sworn off the oven due to the heat and was dreaming up this cherry chocolate ice cream for #IceCreamSundays. But I swear we’ve had more cold, rainy and
Paleo Vegan Salted Caramel Brownies
These paleo vegan salted caramel brownies are rich, fudgy, perfectly sweet and call for less than 10 ingredients in total. Great allergy friendly dessert for potlucks, parties or even Valentine’s Day. These brownies have been on my mind for months. No matter what I did, I just couldn’t get the thought of brownies smothered in salted caramel
Vegan Trinidad Black Cake (Christmas Rum Cake)
This vegan Trinidad black cake is moist, dense and filled with fruits and alcohol. It’s the perfect vegan alternative to a traditional Trini Christmas rum cake. You guys. I’m about to make ExSloth history by sharing my first ever cake recipe on the blog. I’ve always been intimidated by the thought of making cake from
5 Ingredient Vegan Salted Caramel Sauce
Need caramel in under 10 minutes? This tahini-based 5 ingredient vegan salted caramel sauce is smooth, creamy and perfect for drizzling. It’s also dairy free, paleo friendly and refined sugar free. I haven’t always been the biggest fan of caramel. But as with a lot of things, my appreciation for this liquid gold grew as I got older and I’d
Lentil Walnut Gingerbread Biscotti (Vegan)
This vegan lentil walnut gingerbread biscotti is just as crunchy and flavourful as traditional biscotti but with a healthy twist thanks to the addition of lentil puree. Note: This post was sponsored by Canadian Lentils as part of their #LoveLentils campaign. All opinions are my own as I only work with brands whose products I actually use
Persimmon Pear Vegan Pumpkin Galette
This persimmon pear vegan pumpkin galette is flaky, subtly spiced and perfectly sweet. It only calls for 10 ingredients, plus spices and can be ready in under an hour. As soon as I made this mint chocolate vegan galette back in June I knew I needed to attempt a pumpkin version for fall/Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Canadian Thanksgiving came and
Pumpkin Pecan Vegan Shortbread Cookies
These pumpkin pecan vegan shortbread cookies are just as tender and ‘buttery’ as classic shortbread cookies but with a fall-inspired vegan twist. Quick question for the food bloggers in the audience: How many times do you test a recipe before giving up? I had the idea for these pumpkin pecan vegan shortbread cookies long before I
Decadent Vegan Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
If you still think vegan cookies can’t ever be as good as the originals you obviously haven’t tried these decadent vegan double chocolate chip cookies. When I started cleaning up my diet, nothing distressed me more than the potential loss of everything ooey, gooey and chocolatey. Luckily, I learned to bake pretty quickly and found some
Vegan Baked Butternut Squash Donuts
Need an easy, healthy fall dessert that isn’t smothered in pumpkin? These vegan baked butternut squash donuts are a delicious fall-friendly alternative. I don’t think butternut squash gets the love it deserves this time of year. We all go on and on about pumpkin but somehow forget the many other types of squash available to us. So this year
No Churn Vegan Rum Raisin Ice Cream
Since July is National Ice Cream month, I had planned to end the Ice Cream Sundays series today. But I still have a few ideas for ice cold treats floating around in my brain, so I’ll probably extend it for a couple weeks. That being said, I wanted to end July with a bang so
Vegan Spiced Spelt Flour Cookies
As a hashtag island girl, it pains me to admit this but I’ve been longing for the cooler fall days recently. Summer is epic and it’s definitely my favourite season but Jah this heat is killing me. So, in a move that may seem counter-intuitive to you but makes perfect sense to me, I turned
3 Ingredient Peach Rosé Sorbet
When I was trying to decide what to make for this week’s Ice Cream Sunday recipe I realised that I have yet to share a sorbet recipe. I’ve shared two popsicle recipes, chocolate ice cream, and multiple ice cream based desserts, but no sorbet in sight. So this week, I set out to remedy that
