Y’all, I’ve been searching, searching, and SEARCHING for a delicious vegan coffee cake recipe for a looooooooong time. Fail after fail had me wondering, was it even possible? I mean, my favorite chocolate cake recipe EVER is perfect and moist and everything you want in a good cake and just so happens to be vegan, […]
Baking for breakfast, yes, it’s definitely a thing, as we’re quite aware. Now, see, I am not and have never been a morning person, much to the frustration and chagrin of pretty much every morning person I know. Or, everyone. I just can’t. I have tried. I’ve had very early morning jobs. Early classes. Nothing […]
Chocolate? You want some chocolate?! Baby I gotchu some chocolate right here. Breakfast chocolate at that. Yeah! Holy bah-jeebers, this thing is otherworldly.

In my house, maple syrup is akin to liquid gold and the ONLY kind of maple syrup is Vermont maple syrup. (This is what happens when you marry a Real Vermonter.) The first time I made this recipe was as muffins, and Steve looked slightly panicked, slightly accusatory that I’d used maple syrup in baking. […]
Hey, here’s a hot baking tip for ya (is that a pun?): just because a recipe is maybe miswritten or isn’t written to your liking or is incomplete or ingredients or instructions lead you awry, doesn’t mean you can’t bake. I hear you scoffing. And I mean no offense there, recipe writers. Don’t give […]
Let me get this out of the way: these are stupid good. You know that good. That one where you get the wiggles, your tastebuds flutter, your eyes roll into the back of your head, knees buckle, your jaw drops. Yep. Just take one bite, I thought, no big deal, you’ll be fiiine. You gotta […]
