I’m Alix, the face behind Cashews & Cauliflower. I am a busy mama of 2 wild boys with a passion for cooking and eating plant based food. My goal is to show you how easy and accessible it is to make plants the main attraction at meal times and every time in between! (Because snacks and dessert, right?!)

The life of these sweet little muffins began as a craving I had for edible cookie dough. Of course, said cookie dough needed to be gluten free and the only "flour" I had on hand was oats-ready-to-be-turned-into-flour. I don't really even remember the exact recipe but I used date paste (because obviously), some non-vegan butter, chocolate chips, salt, almond milk, maybe some vanilla? And that's about it! After making this a few times I was determined to turn it into actual cookies.
Listen, I’ll be the first to admit that I AM READY FOR FALL. I unapologetically wish away the summer for cool autumn days, and I skip right over Thanksgiving in preparation for all things Christmas. This is me, take it or leave it! BUT I really wanted to squeeze in one more summer recipe before the soups, stews, and warm winter bowl dishes start showing up.
"OH I YUV DESE!"- from the mouth of babes! Also a reaction in direct response to these delectable little chocolate energy bites. With just a few ingredients and less than 10 minutes to prepare they will be a HIT at parties, to snack on, late night desserts, etc. etc. etc. AND I can guarantee they are toddler-approved! My boys thought these were a special treat in place of say, candy or ice cream or other sugar-laden things that turn them into the tasmanian devil!
If you've read the blog post on my garden, then you know my family and I have been eating A LOT of green beans this summer! We've gotten pounds and pounds and pounds just in the month of June. I think they are nearing their end, however; and we've got a slight ant invasion we've got to take care of once we pull up the green bean plants (ANYONE GOT ANY TIPS?!). But we've been enjoying the fruits of our labor very much!
