2 ingredient High Protein Vegan Bagels with Gluten Free recipe

Image
I know you are all going to ask for a recipe.  I don’t actually measure ingredients or follow recipes but I will try to give you a recipe at the end of the post.  I started by making a 2 ingredient bagel. This is usually made with self rising flour and yogurt. I don’t have self rising flour so I added a 1/2 each teaspoon of baking powder and baking soda. I also added 2 tbsp of nutritional yeast and a pinch of salt for flavour.  The only vegan yogurt I have tried that I like is the lime flavour high protein silk. I like the texture and the taste of this one. I was a bit worried that the lime flavour wouldn’t taste good in this bagel but I like the way it turned out. You can use any yogurt you want but try and use a thicker one. I used a third of a cup just add some and mix with a spoon until all the flour is incorporated.  I shaped it by hand let it rest for 5 minutes. I preheated the airfryer oven and air fried for 20 minutes.  This was perfect: chewy on the out...

The best vegan gluten free chocolate chip cookie recipe

Image
I have mentioned a few times on social media that a cookie made with a banana, almond flour and a few optionals like chocolate chips, vanilla, maple syrup, and baking powder makes the best bakery good cookies. I know everyone wants a recipe but I’m not a recipe person I really just throw ingredients I have in my house together and see what happens. What I can give you is a blog post with instructions and pictures. Recipe attempt is at the end.  The cookies in the pictures above look different. This is because I change the optional ingredients all the time. If you want crunchier cookies omit the baking powder. If you want a different flavour go wild. The only thing that is really required in this recipe is a banana you can even change the flour if you wanted to. I find almond flour the easiest to work with and I always have a Costco size bag of it at home. I have not tried other flours but I think chickpea, gluten free, and all-purpose would all work with this recipe as long as you ...

Vegan Eggnog Latte’s that were available in Ottawa December 2024

The world has been changing so rapidly. It is now March 2025 and I tried all the vegan eggnogs in December 2024. It is still snowing in Ottawa so it’s still winter. I don’t know if these businesses will still have the same drinks next year and thought about not posting this because it’s so late but I still want to showcase these businesses. They may not have eggnog latte’s anymore but they have other seasonal drinks.   The drink that inspired this post was a vegan eggnog latte from Les Moulins La Fayette Hintonburg. This is one of my favourite cafes in Ottawa they have amazing vegan sandwiches and even some vegan bakery items. Until I saw the sign outside last year I didn’t know they had vegan eggnog. I drank this drink for months last year it but I had forgotten about it. They use a house made syrup that I really enjoyed. Since getting a Nespresso frother I haven’t gone out for coffee as much as I used to. I was reminded about the latte from their Instagram post. I really looked f...
