Intro Before we get any further I wanted to say a couple things. Over the last week or so I found myself sitting at the computer with the intention of responding to your comments from the last post and I couldn’t do it. Everything I tried to write seemed too trite and wasn’t able to capture how grateful, humbled and encouraged I am by your support. I’ll read all of those comments over and over throughout the process when I need a little boost. So thank you, thank you, thank you.

Also, and I can’t even believe that I get to write this, I was nominated for a Saveur award in the Best Cooking Blog category. I’m shocked, happy beyond belief and to be perfectly honest, would love to win. In one of those fits of luck where things align too perfectly for it to be a mere coincidence I find myself listening to Dearie , (Julia Child’s biography) and I’m just at the point where she is deep into writing Mastering the Art of French Cooking She’d do it again and so will I.

Two Ingredient Vegan Matcha Green Tea Ice Cream. Last week, I shared my newfound enthusiasm for matcha green tea–and with it, a recipe for matcha green tea chia pudding, which is delicious. I had another idea for matcha brewing, and not surprisingly, a few of my readers suggested it, too: matcha-infused banana soft serve. Yesterday, I tested this simple recipe and ate it with delight. It was my first batch of banana soft serve of the summer, and oh, what a batch it was. With only two ingredients–bananas and matcha powder–you too can enjoy this energizing, sweet, and summery treat.

Actually, I had never heard of quinoa banana bread until a funny thing started happening recently. Remember those funny search terms I posted about earlier in the week? Being a search engine marketer, I understand why this is happening. Last week, when I posted a beet cake, I told you right up front that you can taste the beets. This is one dense and chewy banana bread, so be prepared. In my hunt for the perfect quinoa banana bread recipe, I did come across several that are made with quinoa flour or quinoa flakes.

Vegan Beet Chocolate Cupcakes | Minimalist Baker. Before you say anything bad about these cupcakes, have you tried my chocolate covered sweet potato chips yet? Because if you have then you know I know a thing or two about desserts – just sayin’. I’ve been wanting to put beets in my dessert for a while now, seeing as they pair so well with chocolate. But none of the recipes I’d seen before were vegan so I knew experimenting was a must. If you haven’t been previously warned about beets, consider this your official warning.

They, are, messy. After a roast in the oven beets get all soft and juicy and perfect for adding to things like cupcakes because they don’t have a particularly offensive flavor and add a ton of nutrients and moisture to baked goods. Beets may be unsightly – and stain your hands pink – but they’re extremely healthy for you. All of that goodness inside these cupcakes? Now of course, that doesn’t meant you should cupcakes instead of beets. What you need to know about these cupcakes: Satisfied? Vegan Beet Cupcakes Total time. Banana cake gluten free vegan. When Dana’s Bread was in business, the daily interaction between my customers and me was an energizing and rewarding part of my day. They would come to my shop for something – a cup of coffee, a loaf of bread, or a muffin … and I hoped to provide that for them, with gratitude and a smile.

I hoped that they sensed my heartfelt appreciation for their coming to my shop and sharing their valuable time with me. Those relationships were at the core of my shop. I’ve been lucky that some of my most endearing friendships (especially with the girls this year!) Have evolved the same way – unplanned, unforced, unexpected, but so special and appreciated. This recipe is for those friends past, present, and future. For me, baking has always been about giving, sharing, appreciating, and enjoying.

XO, Dana. Banana Cake // Gluten Free and Vegan Author: Dana Bueno Prep time: Cook time: Total time: Serves: 9 Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
