These are made with glutinous rice flour and speckled with beans — in my opinion, a perfect power combo for long trail (or other activity) adventures! The flax seed and brown rice flour add some fiber for sustainable energy, but you can replace the brown rice flour with more glutinous rice flour and eliminate the…
This carrot cake rocks my dessert world! It’s packed with carrots and hits the perfect moisture level. The icing enhances it if you’re going for dessert, but in my opinion it isn’t even needed! But if you do want icing, I suggest using this Cashew Coconut Frosting (I love it, try it please!) or this…

I was looking through my mom’s recipe binder and found this single pumpkin cake recipe (she wasn’t a fan of pumpkin–there are at least 3 versions of any other baked good you could think of). So I gave it a go (with a few modifications), and I’d call it a great success! It certainly hit…
I really wanted a simple, quick bread recipe–one that I could decide in the morning that I wanted to bake bread and by afternoon actually be eating the bread (in other words, one that didn’t require me to wake up my sourdough starter that is usually dormant in the fridge). And voila! This is the…
One of my friends asked for a chocolate bread recipe, and after some back and forth about chocolate bread vs. chocolate banana bread, I decided to do both (here is the Chocolate Banana Bread, and here is also Chocolate Zucchini Bread). I was so pleasantly surprised to like this chocolate yeast bread though! It took…
