Oh. My. Gosh. When I need a chocolate fix, these are my absolute favorite. No flour. No oil. Just pure delicious. Want to know a secret? Sometimes I use pinto beans instead, if that’s what I have in my fridge. They work just as well, because the cocoa powder permeates everything to make it deliciously …
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. You can also use my Best Pumpkin Muffin recipe for pumpkin bread… but …
These are my blank canvas muffins… I will use blueberries or raspberries, or instead add raisins… or even separate the dough and do half and half (our family is a bit divided- my husband and youngest daughter don’t care for baked fruit, my oldest and I think it’s the best thing ever). These are #wholefood …
This perfect hummus is your salad’s best friend. Great for wraps, dips, salads and sides. This is a no oil, completely clean recipe that I make every week. We often have it as a dip for celery and baby carrots, but my absolute favorite way to eat this is layered on a salad with salsa …
These are vegan, plant-based, oil-free, Esselstyn-happy, heart-happy deliciousness. I made these wild rice stuffed acorn squashes last night and my house smells AMAZING. For the aroma alone these are worth making, but add in the tangy sweetness of the fresh cranberries, the crisp of the celery mixed with the nutty flavor of wild rice and …
If you want a pumpkin recipe that everyone will love, try this! I sometimes substitute white flour for whole wheat flour when making these for others. When it’s my husband and I, we’re whole-wheat all the way. These are hearty, cozy, and delightful. I use canned pumpkin, or around the fall I’ll start to roast …
MMMMmmmmph. That’s the sound of my family enjoying this hearty and delicious guilt-free, oil-free, vegan cornbread. Spread with a light drizzle of honey if you love a bit of extra sweetness. Cut open while still hot and savor every chewy crumb. After searching and searching for a good oil-free cornbread recipe, I finally had to …
Chilly fall nights, cozy autumn slippers, warm cups of hot cider and.. this soup. Heaven. My six-year old begs for this soup- and for a recipe that has NO sugar, flour, butter or oil, that’s pretty remarkable. This has been a staple in our family for seven years or more, I can’t even imagine how …
This Chickpea Rice Soup, which is vegan, oil-free, and delicious, is easily one of my family’s favorites. My daughters like it with a little bit of salt (but no pepper!) and my husband and I add pepper but usually no salt (sometimes I’ll have a bit.) My husband, who is more diehard “Esselstyn” than I …
I’ve made this recipe so many times, it has become a household staple. By far one of my husband’s favorite recipes, this is one thing I can be sure everyone will eat. The most memorable version of this salad was when the only add-in vegetable we used were 2 cups of tiny plum tomatoes that …
