Vegan Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins with Cinnamon Crumble | EmmaEats

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins with Cinnamon Crumble, Vegan & Traditional

May 23, 2014 by EmmaEats

Chocolate. Cinnamon. Banana. Delicious. The girls have been really into muffins again lately. Whether picking a treat from the bakery, at an event that has desserts or just because, muffins are in high demand here. Both girls also adore banana bread. In our house, if chocolate, cinnamon and banana are included, inevitably, a popular recipe is born. Do you have similar ingredients in your kitchen? A much beloved treat, some muffins are considered a breakfast food. These are a little sweeter and lean more to the dessert […]

Sky High Spelt Breakfast Biscuits

February 27, 2014 by EmmaEats

Often with children in the house, someone can feel left out. It’s not always the same person feeling left out either. Mum is cooking or tidying while the kids are wrestling with Dad, big sister is busy doing homework while little brother is colouring or Dad is at work while Mum takes the kids on an outing. Do you sometimes feel like the one missing out on the fun? In our family, the girls certainly influence a lot of what […]

Chocolate Cinnamon Heart Cookies [Vegan]

January 28, 2014 by EmmaEats

Love, love, love. Hugs and kisses. Red and pink. Sweets and chocolates. There are a bunch of entities synonymous with modern Valentine’s Day. And, now these Chocolate Cinnamon Cookie Hearts equal Valentine’s Day for us. Chocolatey, with a warm hint of cinnamon spice, these vegan cookies are versatile. I have a few alternatives here so when we make them, there’s a version for everyone. There are ones dipped in deep dark chocolate (my personal favourite), ones filled with raspberry jam […]

Peach Pie Soft Breakfast Cookies [Vegan] | EmmaEats

Soft Breakfast Cookies, 2 ways [Vegan]

September 5, 2013 by EmmaEats

We haven’t the best track record for getting to school on time. For three years running. Summer was truly a wonderful time for our household. The girls and I leisurely wandered from outing to outing, meeting friends and casually making our way through our days. So easy. So relaxed. Here we are now, along with many of you, a week into back to school and adapting to a new routine. We’re doing well so far. What’s made the difference? First, […]

Oatmeal Spelt Banana Bread [Vegan] | EmmaEats

Oatmeal Spelt Banana Bread, 2 ways [Vegan or Dairy-Free]

August 15, 2013 by EmmaEats

The first day of school will be here in a flash. Truth be told, I’m not ready for the first day of school quite yet. And, I’m pretty certain Emma isn’t either. How about you? Are you and the kids ready to call it quits on summer vacation already? Since the first few days of school will be rather bittersweet, I’m hoping to ease the bitterness with a few treats including these ever popular spelt crust pizza buns and this banana […]

Vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cherry Bites

December 6, 2012 by EmmaEats

It can’t be so. Cookies with no nuts, no butter and no eggs and entirely irresistible. Well, it is indeed so. These incredibly flavourful cookies are definite crowd-pleasers and even diehard non-vegans won’t even notice that these tasty morsels are in fact without the butter, egg and nut triumvirate. Emma picked these for her school snack day awhile back and the platter came back clean. Empty. As were the bowls of them at her birthday party. As was the tray […]

Ginger and Spice Cake

November 29, 2012 by EmmaEats

Not all cakes have to be frilly, frosted and fantastical in nature to knock your socks off. We’re heading into the holiday season and this cake is the perfect way to kick it off. It doesn’t sparkle. It’s not iced. It isn’t fancy in any sense of the word. But what it lacks in wow factor at first sight, it makes up for with the first bite. We’ve been eating it ever since the coolness of autumn started to roll […]

Winter is Coming — Apple Spice Layer Cake with Brown Sugar Cinnamon Frosting [Dairy-Free]

September 27, 2012 by EmmaEats

Thanksgiving is nearly upon us. I am thankful that although winter is coming, it is not quite here. Thankfully, it’s still months away! We’re just being greeted by Autumn — with her cool evenings, sunny days and breathtaking colours. It also means apple season is here and it’s time to take advantage of something else Autumn has brought us. Crisp, fresh and flavourful apples. This apple cake was inspired by many attempts to make the right apple cake over past […]

That’s Amore – Spelt Crust Pizza Buns

May 18, 2012 by EmmaEats

Every day, one of the students in Emma’s junior kindergarden takes snacks for the entire class. The snacks are expected to be healthy, low in sugar, nut-free and easy to eat. On most days, crackers, cheese, fruits and/or veggies tend to be the norm but occasionally, there’s a little something switched up to give the children a change. Emma tells me what she’d like to take in for her class and sometimes picks the standard fare too. There have been […]

I wanna scream so loud for you – Whole Wheat and Spelt Banana Coconut Crumble Cake

May 10, 2012 by EmmaEats

Emma is a huge fan of banana bread. I may have mentioned before how much she likes to have treats for play dates and that she requests specific ones for when certain friends visit. One of her pals has a dairy allergy so slowly we’ve been adding a few more dairy-free treats into our treat repertoire including this moist and flavourful combination of two classics, banana bread and crumble. Let me introduce whole wheat and spelt banana coconut crumble cake. […]

The last time I saw Paris – Spelt Parmesan Gougères

April 30, 2012 by EmmaEats

Earlier this week, I was reading about Jamie Oliver and Food Revolution Day coming up on May 19th. The theme “Bring Food Education Back” made me think about one of the reasons EmmaEats came about – to help inspire families in their kitchens. As I read on, I learned that food education is not compulsory in schools worldwide. How disappointing for kids today! I learned so much back in Home Economics class. Do you remember having to take Home Ec and about […]

Remind Me – Mixed Vegetable and Bacon Pancakes

April 19, 2012 by EmmaEats

My father made the best potato pancakes for my brother and I when we were kids. I can still picture him standing next to the sink in our then avocado green kitchen, peeling potatoes one by one and then shredding them with a box grater into a colander in the sink. He didn’t cook often but when he did, I’m quite certain it was appreciated by my mother who normally handled the meal preparation for our family. We loved those potato pancakes. […]

Her name is Cherry – Chewy Dark Chocolate Cherry Oatmeal Cookies

April 12, 2012 by EmmaEats

Originally, I had no intention of posting a dessert recipe this week. We had a big family Easter weekend where we consumed so many sinful sweets like nanaimo bars and lemon squares, chocolate cake and truffles, not to mention the many chocolate eggs from the kids’ Easter egg hunt. After “Feaster”, this week should have been a “get-back-to-healthy-eating” week. But then, as I admired the eggs in Emma and Katie’s Easter basket, I remembered these cookies. Their dark and sweet and […]
