Vegan Peanut Butter Raw Chocolate Rice Krispie Recipe These are so good- and actually, I made them what feels like forever ago (though it was maybe a month or so), but I still remember them fondly! I had been wanting to make rice krispies for forever, but I wasn't about to shell out $9 for a bag of organic rice crisp cereal. So, imagine my delight when I saw a big bag on sale for $5.99- immense! The universe told me that it was time to make rice krispies. You can definitely make this recipe by using brown rice syrup instead of barley malt syrup (to keep it gluten free), but the latter was on sale (score). So after standing at the check out, Googling whether or not one could make vegan rice krispies with barley malt, and thinking "What if this is my last day on earth a
Quadruple Layer Raw, Vegan, Caramel Banana Cream Pie I'm on my second piece in a row within about 10 minutes. Because it is that delicious- it cannot be helped! Plus, I have to make up for not having pie on Pi(e) Day (March 14th, as the number, Pi, begins with 3.14 (so excited for 2015, when it will be 3.1415!!!!! - the exclamationpoints are purely grammatical to reflect my eager anticipation, not mathematical which would mean a crazy long line of multiplication. I was in the math club in high school, believe it or not.) This pie is raw, so it is really pretty easy to make- not that I've ever tried, but apparently making real, baked pies can be really complicated (hopefully I will never find out ). Four layers of delicious! Plus crust and shaved chocolate- winner, w
Nut Free Triple Chocolate Fudge Brownies (vegan, GF, raw) Good Saturday! Hope you've all had a super week- mine was not bad. Some ups. Some downs. No neutrals. But mostly ups, I would say, really. One of the ups, and downs, came in the form of these brownies. The up? Very tasty. Very healthy. Can be very easy to make. The down? I'm a whiner when it comes to anything culinary (other than directly experimenting with Zimt up-and-coming recipes- that I love. Even when it is chaotic and involves me making
Vegan Double Chocolate Peppermint Cookies When I was finishing up my first year of uni, I was sorting out what to do with my incredibly long stretch of academic-free freedom. Four months seemed like forever and I definitely needed the break after a gruelling first year at fancy business school. I'd organized a volunteer trip with a few friends and knew I would be working that summer, too. But I
Chocolate Chip Banana Bread- oil free, vegan, and breakfast approved! If you're in Vancouver right now, you know today is a perfect one for three things, in combination: 1. a good book 2. a hot cup of tea or coffee 3. this banana bread (you will know after you try it ) A few weeks ago, I drove past a grocery store where bananas were on sale for a ridiculously low price. Organic, fair trade bananas- for $0.19/lb?! Y
raw truffles, coconut sugar sweetened, raw, organic, vegan, fair trade, delicious, fancy, chocolates- they are here! Hi Zimtees, Just wanted to share a bit of news with you- in case you haven't heard we now have some pretty fancy chocolates in our roster of already pretty fancy chocolates. I wanted to get these ones out in time for Valentine's Day, because, well apparently these sorts of treats are pretty popular this time of year. Background information, though, needs to be shared. It all started just over three years ago, when I was figuring out how to even remotely begin to think of starting a chocolate company. Having zero idea, there was a lot to learn (and, there still is.). Initially, my idea had been to make a macaroon company. But I felt really
Gluten Free Black Bean Brownies I know what you're thinking- that sounds questionable. Beans and brownies. [caption id="attachment_244" align="aligncenter" width="234"] beautiful black beans[/caption] But wait- did you not try a Cookie Dough Cup?! They are based on beans, after all. And for good reason- not only are beans a nutritious source of all things good nutritionally, but this heal
