Do you have Bisquick coffee cake memories from your childhood? I loved the sweet cinnamon topping, the hot baked apple bites, the fluffy cake texture. A few weeks ago, I was reminiscing about that old recipe, and wishing I could do a whole wheat, vegan, no-oil version. So, I did! This version uses a parchment-paper …
These are so much easier to make than muffins, and I love that we don’t have to figure out how to keep them from sticking to a muffin pan. It’s a similar recipe to my blueberry muffins, but these are faster, heartier, and easier! I love to use frozen blueberries that we picked during the …
This is my favorite rib-sticking, hearty, delicious, wholesome, and heavenly bread. Plus, it makes the house smell like you’re a master French baker. I love to make this before I invite friends over- the aroma is pure comfort and will make you seem like a great host or hostess (in my case, I need all …
I intentionally buy extra bananas, hoping I get a few that stay on the counter until they’re spotted brown so I can make this recipe.

If you love Heart Thrive bars, this recipe will give you (almost!) the same heart-healthy, delicious taste from your own kitchen.
Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn recommends an oil-free, vegan diet in his book Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease . In addition to the great recipes in his accompanying cookbook, The Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease Cookbook: Over 125 Delicious, Life-Changing, Plant-Based Recipes, here are a few recipes that meet Dr. Esselstyn’s guidelines that we make almost every week, …
Here’s a little secret- every muffin recipe can easily be a sweetbread recipe, and vice versa. So if you want to turn this recipe into twelve mouth-watering muffins instead of eight slices of heavenly pumpkin bread goodness, no one will ever know the difference.
