Gluten-Free Vegan Chickpea Muffins are a keeper. These can be used for breakfast, lunch or dinner, are great with soups or a little jam on top. The recipe is easy to whip up, the muffins come out steaming hot, you pull them apart and they are fluffy and moist.  I love making muffins and this recipe is a sure keeper. It's only a bonus that it's vegan, sugar-free and gluten-free with chickpea flour for added protein. If I handed you one, you'd just think it was a nice soft moist muffin. Win! Get the recipe below. See how to make them in this weeks video. 

Potato rolls. Fluffy, puffy, soft and amazing rolls, great anytime. These are wonderful for gatherings, served with dinner, maybe a little jam on top, anyway you desire. Great to dip in soup or use as little sliders. They are irresistible. Some of the best I've made! My only warning is they're so hard to stop eating, enjoy! 

Enjoy a homemade flatbread - naan in the comfort of your home. This recipe is easy, trustworthy, one to keep on hand and come back to again and again, it's delicious. It takes only hour to rise and a few minutes to bake. You can even have it tonight. 

​Quick & Easy #vegan Biscuits can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch or dinner. These come together with 7 ingredients, 1 bowl and can be yours in only 30 minutes. I love that there is no rolling required, you shape, bake and dig in. They are so soft, warm and delicious. I love this recipe and hope you do too.

​I am so excited to share with you my most requested, most remembered pumpkin bread. Nearly 7 years ago I made a loaf of pumpkin bread for my friends in the office. Barbara and Patty to date state it is best pumpkin bread they've had!! 

I have a feeling you will LOVE this recipe! A simple quick bread recipe that can be made into muffins or even bread. Cinnamon Banana Raisin creates a comforting flavor and while they taste indulgent they are sweetened naturally with raisins and ripe bananas. 

Fresh garlic and cilantro are infused into the dough, cooked over a piping hot skillet on the stove, placed over the gas flame for a few seconds and then brushed with optional oil, garlic and cilantro for one heck of a flatbread experience. 

You know what I love? A hot warm biscuit right out of the oven. Don't you? Southern biscuits are made with healthy alternatives to the original yet are still so soft you can pull them apart, slice them easily, spread them with jam or top them with gravy. 

Bring your meal to the next level with homemade biscuits. These biscuits are incredibly simple to make, they roll out easily, press into a circular shape with the lid of a mason jar and take less than 10 minutes to bake. We served ours with soup and loved them! Place them in a basket wrapped in a towel and serve warm, soft biscuits with your next meal. These would be great for the holidays and Thanksgiving coming up. Plus, they are vegan, gluten-free, oil-free and yeast-free for a completely plant-based whole-food recipe you can feel good about eating and sharing with others. 

Some of the fondest memories of my grandma include her homemade zucchini bread. I had a couple extra zucchinis lying around and decided to make a loaf. I made a unique version that is free of gluten, dairy, oil and even sugar! I couldn't believe most zucchini bread recipes call for 1 cup of sugar, I always thought it was healthy since it had the word zucchini in it. Now, it really is healthy as cranberries or raisins are used instead of refined sugar to naturally sweeten the loaf. The results are better than I hoped for, it naturally puffs up while baking and then gets a nice golden crust. The inside was baked through and through. My husband and I found it extremely hard not to eat more than a serving, especially knowing how good it is for you. You are going to love this recipe! 

Ingredients:
1 Cup Packed Shredded Zucchini 
1 Cup Cranberries or Raisins
1 Cup Dairy Free Milk
1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
6 Tbsp Aquafaba
1/4 Cup Mashed Ripe Banana 
1 tsp Vanilla
2 cup All Purpose Gluten-Free Flour
1 Tbsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Sea Salt

Peaceful Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a bread pan and coat with flour.
2. Combine the dairy free milk and apple cider vinegar in a medium size bowl, whisk together, set aside for 5 minutes. Stir in the aquafaba and whisk. Add the vanilla, mashed banana and shredded zucchini.
3. In a separate medium to large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. Make a well in the flour, add the wet and mix together. Pour into the loaf pan. Make a tent with foil and cover, bake for 40 minutes. Remove from oven, carefully remove the foil and bake for another 20 minutes uncovered or until a knife comes out clean.
4. Cool, slice, serve. Stores well in a sealed container for 3 days, in the fridge for about a week and freezes well beyond that. 

Notes:

• Aquafaba is the commonly discarded bean juice that is made when boiling beans or found in a can of beans. Garbanzo is the most popular, however any bean juice will do, in fact I used the juice from making black beans. You can also use a different egg replacement if you prefer.
• If you do not have a gluten allergy you can use all purpose flour or a mixture of all purpose and wheat flour. I don't have an allergy yet prefer the way gluten-free bread makes me feel. 
• A different sweetener like coconut sugar, agave, maple syrup and so forth may be used. Chocolate Chips, Coconut Flakes, Nuts can all be mixed in or added as toppings.
