After taking an unscheduled break from all things ice cream last weekend, we’re back with another #IceCreamSundays special. And although I’m pretty sure I say this every week, this recipe is probably my favourite so far. Why? Five words: Vegan S’mores Ice Cream Cupcakes.

Spoiler alert: This vegan summer berry mint chocolate galette recipe is probably the most complicated thing I’ve ever shared on the blog or made in real life. But I promise you, it is 100% worth the effort. [Tweet “Summer Berry Mint Chocolate Mini Galettes #vegan #TheRecipeRedux”]

Vegan Chunky Monkey Ice Cream Bars (Klondike bars with banana ice cream, brownie bits, walnuts & chocolate) via @ExSloth | ExSloth.com

This has to be my favourite Ice Cream Sundays recipe so far. Kidding. I’m pretty much obsessed with them all. But can you blame me? I mean, what’s not to love about yummy cold treats in this blazing hot weather we’ve been having recently? Especially when they combine a few of my favourite things like these vegan

Vegan Baked Golden Milk Donuts

Easy Vegan Baked Golden Milk Donuts (Turmeric Tea Donuts) via @ExSloth | ExSloth.com

As much as I like turmeric, I haven’t really experimented with using it in sweet recipes, apart from adding a pinch to smoothies. Usually, I just stick to savoury turmeric recipes like tofu scrambles, curries and the like. But I’m always down to indulge my sweet tooth so when I had the idea for these

So, today I’m sharing this no churn cherry chocolate non dairy ice cream with ya.

No Yeast Elderberry Dirty Chai Sweet Rolls

10 June, 2016 by Giselle Rochford 18 Comments

Vegan Elderberry Dirty Chai Sweet Rolls via @ExSloth | ExSloth.com

I have to say that these recipe challenges keep getting harder and harder but oddly, more rewarding. I was legitimately stumped when I saw the ingredients for this one. I mean, coffee beans, peppercorns and elderberry jam. What the eff could I make with all of those things? Well, as it turns out, those three

Vegan Pinto Bean Brownies

24 May, 2016 by Giselle Rochford 24 Comments

These vegan pinto bean brownies are moist, chewy and choked full of protein. They're also super rich and chocolatey without being overwhelmingly sweet. @ExSloth | ExSloth.com

This week’s recipe challenge has to be my favourite so far. I was a bit stumped when I first saw the ingredients we were sent – pinto beans, oat flour rolled dates and flax seeds. The beans made me think of doing another savoury recipe but the dates kept throwing me for a loop. But

Crunchy Vegan Cranberry Orange Oatmeal Cookie Bars that are sweet and tart and perfect for a healthy afternoon snack via @ExSloth | ExSloth.com

I know. I know. I justtt shared a cookie recipe on the blog a few weeks ago, yet here I am with another one today. Some would call this overkill, but let’s be real. Cookies are basically a food group to me. In fact, I’m actually surprised I lasted this long to share these vegan

Paleo Vegan Nut Free Brownie Cookies

26 April, 2016 by Giselle Rochford 37 Comments

These vegan brownie cookies have a light crust/crunch on the outside but are soft, chewy and basically brownie-like on the inside. Plus, they're made with coconut flour and sunflower seed butter so they're gluten-free, nut-free and paleo via @ExSloth | ExSloth.com

I haven’t posted a brownie recipe in a while so I toyed with the idea of coming up with a new one to share today. But really, nothing can top my vegan brownie recipe in my eyes, or the gingerbread version, so I decided to try my hand at brownie cookies instead. Paleo Vegan Nut Free Brownie

Vegan Orange Poppy Seed Baked Donuts via @ExSloth | ExSloth.com

Sunday marked the first official day of spring and the weather was gloriously spring-like. So I immediately started thinking of spring-time recipes to share on the blog. My first thought was ice cream or anything lemon poppy seed. But by Monday, it was cold AF in Waterloo again and there’s supposed to be a storm

Chocolate Mint Avocado Pudding Parfait

Vegan Chocolate Mint Avocado Pudding Parfait via @ExSloth | ExSloth.com

If February is all about red and Valentine’s Day, then March is all about the green and St. Patrick’s Day. However, unlike St. Valentine’s Day, I’m really not 100% sure what St. Patrick’s Day is all about. But, I do know that green food is one of the requirements, which is why I’m sharing this
