various baking adventures of late

Now that summer is kicking in the heat, I won't be at the markets, but I am taking orders for vegan and gluten-free treats and as well as general cooking and catering.

some new favorite treats I've stirred up.
Zucchini Cookies - I found this recipe online (when browsing for carrot cake recipes) and decided I'd make it vegan/gluten-free and sugar-free.
(I used the same proportions of most ingredients, subbing flour for gluten free flour blend; subbing the sugar for half the amount of agave and adding a tsp of xanthum gum.) DELISH!

Carob+Blueberries+Beans = Pudding or Brownies.
It sounds strange, yes, but totally yummy. Derived from the vegan black bean brownie recipe, I decided to alter to my own dietary needs/restrictions.
I cooked up mung beans instead, as they are one of the easiest beans to digest; then added blueberries, crystalized ginger, coconut oil, and a few tablespoons of carob powder, and added all this to the food processor. presto, pudding. yum!
