Chewy Gluten Free Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

These gluten free cookies are incredible! The chewy on the inside and crinkly on the outside. I have had a lot of gluten free and vegan cookies and these are the best! You won't believe it when you take a bite because they are just too delicious!

Do you like the pink leopard pink background?!

I always love when I manage to create something that's tasty while being vegan and gluten-free! It can be hard to get the textures and flavors right.

You'll definitely notice a difference between your standard cookie and these but trust me, it's a good difference! These have the most wonderful flavor and texture!

Graduation Rosé Cupcakes (vegan)

Kat @ Cupcake Kat 4:16 PM 0 Comments

If you're anything like me then you love Rosé wine. Personally it is my favorite wine so when Amanda from The Glorious Grape asked me to join her Say Yes to Rosé collaboration, I was down! (pro tip: click the link for some great info on Rosé)

With grad ceremonies coming up I think this would be the perfect treat to serve for your friends or family graduating from high school or post-secondary.

They would also be lovely for a bridal shower, special get together, or spring party!

These light and sweet cupcakes are accompanied by a delicious and perfectly creamy frosting.

You can use a couple drops of food coloring in the frosting and/or batter to add a fun color.

These cupcakes have a subtle wine flavor which makes the perfect treat for a special occasion.

If you wish to have more Rosé flavor then you can add in more Rosé instead of orange juice.

Simple Raw Brownies

Kat @ Cupcake Kat 12:29 PM 0 Comments

I have slowly been becoming obsessed with raw no-bake desserts! And since I especially love chocolate brownies, I knew that I had to make a raw brownie recipe!

I find these ones reminiscent of Little Debbie's Cosmic Brownies, especially with the sprinkles! Which I used to eat all the time when I was little!

If anyone knows how to recreate those with a healthy twist but still just as fudgy please let me know ASAP!

These brownies are still better than Cosmic Brownies and maybe even more delicious! They're also vegan, raw, gluten free, paleo, and have no refined sugar!

They contain:

Cocoa powder

Coconut Oil

Almonds

Dates

Maple Syrup

Cinnamon

Salt

Sprinkles (optional)

And they're no bake so you can enjoy them in the hot summer months to come! Let me know if you try them out!

Raw Healthy Brownies
Makes 6-9

Ingredients

For Brownies
1 cup almonds
1 cup dates
1/4 cup cocoa powder

For Chocolate Topping
2 tbsp coconut oil
2 tbsp maple syrup
3 tbsp cocoa podwder

1. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper

3. Press dough into bottom of loaf pan
4. In a small bowl, microwave coconut oil until melted
