If you’ve never heard of Banoffee Pie, let me tell you a little about it. Banoffee Pie is an English dessert. It has a cookie crumb crust, a layer of caramel, topped with a layer of bananas and then finished off with whipped cream and chocolate shavings. It is pretty fantastic, but my son’s not a big fan, so when he requested a banana cake, I decided to base it on that classic British dessert and put all the aspects of it into a cake....

I love making eggless versions of classic cakes. I’ve already made Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies, Eggless Cupcakes, or Eggless Chocolate Cake. It’s much easier than you might think to remove eggs in baking, but it does require some adjustments. In my egg-free recipes, I tend to use either bananas or applesauce to bring the binding that eggs would have. The advantage of using such sweet fruits is that it can also brings enough sweetness to make the use of sugar unnecessary....

I’ll be honest, I haven’t met a sticky bun that I didn’t love and I’m always looking for excuses to make them so it was time to come up with something new. Why are these sticky buns outrageous?

This is by far my favorite potato salad. I serve it a lot in the warmer months with cold, roasted chicken legs and corn on the cob, but it’s perfect for barbecues and picnics as well.

I love healthy vegan alternatives to classic chocolate mousse, like my 3-Ingredient Butternut Squash Chocolate Mousse or Chocolate Avocado Mousse.

A tofu mousse is a dairy-free chocolate mousse made from a block of silken tofu into a creamy smooth chocolate dessert!...

So whether you are allergic to eggs or vegan, you will love to know that making French toast without eggs is possible....

I am a huge latte lover and always make vegan latte using oat milk or soy milk. Both are the best milk for coffee lattes because they form foam and add a creamy texture to latte recipes. Why Use Oat Milk In Coffee? Oat milk is one of the most popular non-dairy milk options for coffee, smoothie recipes, or baking. Nutrition – Compared to other plant-based milk like nut milk, oat milk contains more carbohydrates and higher calories per serving, which can be an issue for people on a low-carb diet....
