Chocolate Lover's Healthy Banana Bread

A healthy twist on one of my absolute favorite family recipes. Cocoa powder gives this bread a luscious and rich flavor that will leave your mouth watering well after the last bite. The chocolate chip morsels add a delightfully sweet touch!

Milk Chocolate Squarecups

Three simple ingredients: chocolate chips, coconut oil, and peanut butter Squarebars. 

You know you want some!

Cocoa-banana-pumpkin ("classic")

Oatmeal has become a staple meal in my house; breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert, oatmeal is always a viable option. There are just so many different ways you can enjoy it, and so many different combinations to love. I may not always be the most creative recipe-maker, but I do know how to make a simple meal into a fun one! The key? ADD SOME GOOD TOPPINGS. It'll change your life. Believe me.

Chocolate Brownie Chunk Banana Muffins

Muffins are just the best. They're like cupcakes. Actually, what is the difference between a muffin and a cupcake? Isn't a cupcake just cake in muffin form? So technically a muffin is a category of sorts, and cupcakes fall within it. Kind of like how a square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not a square. A cupcake is a muffin, but a muffin is not a cupcake. Am I making sense? I don't think I am. Oh, well. All I know for sure is that these muffins are GEWD and you should bake some!

Banana Bread Muffins with Mini Chocolate Chips

Taking on a classic family recipe with the moist and delicious banana muffins sprinkled with mini chocolate chips. So good, you won't be able to stop yourself from popping one, two, three… maybe four… into your mouth!

Recipe makes 12 muffins.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Chickpea Cookies

If you're craving some delicious, peanut-buttery, chocolate-chippy cookies, here's your solution! Made without flour, eggs, oil, or dairy products, these cookies fit in to all sorts of different diets. Using a chickpea base, I added in peanut butter, dates, coconut sugar, and other sweet ingredients to boost the flavor. One of my best cookie recipes yet!

Vegan Cocoa Banana Donuts

I'm always searching for a healthier way to enjoy typically unhealthy foods. This morning, I attempted healthy donuts! Some of the past donut recipes I've tried have come out too dry, but these came out nice and moist. I was too impatient to eat them to let them cool properly, so they fell apart a bit during the transition from the donut mold to my plate, but luckily I topped them with so many goodies that you can't really notice!

Chocolate & Coconut Protein Cake Squares

Just as I predicted, these cake squares came out a huge success! I mean, how could they not?! Filled with Rawmio chocolate crunch spread, mashed banana, pumpkin puree, chocolate protein powder, coconut palm sugar (can we please take a moment and comment on how wonderful this stuff smells??) and many other healthy ingredients, this treat is sure to satisfy every one of your sweet tooth cravings!

Vegan Chocolate-Pumpkin Pancakes

The number of combinations you can create with pancakes is incredible. But one of the best combos is definitely chocolate and pumpkin. Especially during fall.
So here it is. The ultimate combination:
Chocolate. Pumpkin. United in a pancake.
So yum.
With the addition of chopped Cocoa Crunch Squarbar bites and gooey medjool date bits, this is undoubtably one of my favorite recipes to 'date' (Did you catch my pun?!). I hope you enjoy!

Caramel Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Pancakes

 I just can't seem to stop making pancake recipes! They're just too fun to make... and eat! Today I concocted this splendiferous pancake stack using some of the best fall flavors around: caramel and pumpkin. Together, caramel and pumpkin create an outstanding taste, especially in these here flapjacks. Added some more fabulous and healthy ingredients (including flax meal for good fats and oat flour for whole grains), sprinkled in some mini chocolate chips, and smothered with toppings to make the perfect Sunday morning breakfast. I hope you all enjoy these as much as I just did!

Chocolate-Pumpkin Buckwheat Protein Pancakes

There's nothing like that chocolate and pumpkin combination (except maybe chocolate and peanut butter, but still), which is why I just had to make some chocolate-pumpkin pancakes for breakfast! They are super moist and fluffy, just the way I like 'em. Top them with some banana slices and nut butter, and you've got yourself one fantastic meal.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Spread

Let's face it - if you love baking, there has been at least one time when you've gorged yourself on raw cookie dough. It tastes so wonderful, just scooping it out of the bowl, all creamy and soft. Sadly, it's not the healthiest thing to do. For one, if you use ingredients such as eggs, you might get sick from eating them raw. Also, it's pretty hard to stop! So I've created a healthy, single serving recipe that'll help you indulge in your cookie dough cravings, but still keep ya under control.

Cookies and Creme Protein Pancakes

I LOVE cookies and creme flavored things. Especially Questbars. So I made some fabulous cookies and creme pancakes to satisfy my cookie craving! The chocolate pancakes came out so fudgey and moist, and the vanilla pancakes were just as fluffy and delightful. I could have eaten them all by themselves!

Chocolate Almond Protein Smoothie

What's not to like about chocolate and almonds? Especially when it's transformed into a lovely, decadent, delicious and refreshing summer smoothie! No need to give up treating yourself to your favorite desserts - just create a healthy version that tastes just as good. This is actually one of the best parts about dedicating myself to a healthy lifestyle; remaking typically nutritionless meals into nutritional powerhouses!

Fudgey Black Bean Protein Brownies

I'm always up for finding a healthier alternative to desserts! And it just so happens that gooey, fudgey brownies are one of my favorite desserts, so… I made a delicious batch this afternoon! I never really have much to do during the day on Mondays in the summer, so I dedicated today to baking and watching Margo. Both have kept me pretty busy (the latter being the most time-consuming, as expected!) Oh, and did I mention that they're vegan?!

Chocolate and Peanut Butter Pancake Explosion (And Margo!)

Oh. My. Gosh. These pancakes were HEAVEN! Super fudgey delicious chocolate pancakes alternated with the peanut buttery-goodness of the PB pancakes… It's amazing what these two flavors can do to your taste buds when combined. To make the chocolate-peanut butter combo even more intense, I crumbled up a Quest Cravings peanut butter cup, drizzled with PB sauce, and layered with chocolate Greek yogurt. Flipping GOOD stuff right here!

Chocolate Banana-Date Protein Baked Oatmeal

Despite the intimidatingly long name, this oatmeal was soft and gooey! The combination of flavors blended so well together - I think bananas and dates are becoming two of my favorite things to add to breakfast food. The apricots made it even sweeter, so naturally I had to balance it out with a blob of peanut butter!

Chocolate Chunk and Craisin Muffins

A healthy twist on one of my favorite things: chocolate chip muffins. Whilst plotting for my next Questbar creation (I have trouble eating them plain - they just feel too important not to put  in something special, like pancakes or a mugcake... or MUFFINS), I had a childhood flashback of baking delicious chocolate chip banana muffins, enjoying the melty chocolate as I took a bite just after they came out of the oven. Here's to all my fellow chocoholics (and Questbar addicts)!

Choco-nilla Protein Mugcake

What do you do when your not sure which flavor to choose: chocolate or vanilla? Dilemma dilemma. Now there isn't a need for that problem! With this simple mugcake recipe, you can enjoy a combination of chocolate AND vanilla. Life is good.
