Eggless Rose Conchas

Inspired by Mexican Week on Season 13 of The Great British Baking Show, we set out to put our own spin on Mexican pan dulce. Rose conchas were the result: with sweet rose craquelin topping and fluffy bread, they are fun to look at and eat. Craquelin is a crispy pastry topping that elevates these […]

Banana Almond Biscotti

These twice-baked banana almond biscotti are flavorful, crunchy, and simply delightful. They can be dunked in milk or tea to make a great afternoon snack or a quick breakfast. Or eat them on their own for dessert — I won’t tell. Making banana almond biscotti may seem challenging, but I promise it’s easier than you […]

Vegan Mango Bread

Summer is here in full force, which means it’s time to bring out all the mango dishes in our repertoire! You can add blended mango into lassi, put cooked puree in mango buns (like I did in my Vegan Mango-Filled Buns), eat it plain of course, and now with this recipe, add diced mango to […]

Chocolate Orange Zebra Cake

Chocolate and oranges are a match made in heaven. All the fancy Belgian chocolatiers know it. While I may not be a fancy Belgian chocolatier, I share this sentiment. And why make a basic layer cake when there are better options for using two colors of batters? Zebra cake is much more fun. You can […]

Pecan Pie

Even though I love most kinds of pie, I was skeptical of pecan pie for quite a long time. It just looked brown and bland and uninteresting to me. That was until I tried making it myself. Now I’m happy to report that pecan pie is a holiday staple worth indulging in. It’s got deep […]

Banana Nut Muffins

I’m back with another banana recipe! This time, it’s banana nut muffins. They’re soft, moist, and full of flavor thanks to the bananas and butter inside. Actually, it’s butter made into ghee that contributes to how rich these muffins taste. And even richer still are my favorite parts of these banana nut muffins: their tops. […]
