We are BIG carrot cake fans. It is one of our favorite desserts. We have been waiting to make a carrot cake for the blog, and Easter seemed like the perfect occasion. We wanted this carrot cake to be legit— fluffy, moist, right amount of sweetness, with creamy, thick frosting. But we also wanted it to be “on brand”— a carrot cake that tastes amazing but leaves out gluten, dairy, and huge amounts of sugar. We searched for inspo across the Google machine, Pinterest, and some of

What was your favorite cereal growing up? For us, one of our favorites was Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Even drinking the sweet, cinnamon-y milk at the end was good!

Until this beauty. Oat flour might be the key to creating a bread that holds up nicely, especially if you’re making it vegan (without eggs). Coconut flour and almond flour tend to absorb and hold a lot of mois

It's been almost exactly a year since I made my very first trip to Europe. A life-changing trip to Spain and Italy (Barcelona, Florence, Rome, and Cinque Terre, to be exact) that I will always remember. Something in particular I've thought about since I left those beautiful, historical cities were... these matcha banana pancakes. I know, right. How on-brand (or maybe basic) that in a place filled with breath-taking scenery, incredible architecture, and traditional Spanish and
