Ooey-gooey banana chocolate chip bread pudding takes day-old whole grain bread and turns it into the warmest thing out of your oven all week. The custard is plant milk thickened with arrowroot, sweetened with both Sucanat and brown-rice syrup, and studded with bananas...
Classic vegan oatmeal raisin cookies with crisp lacy edges and chewy dark brown sugar centers — the plant milk and soy flour do their work quietly. The recipe's biggest instruction is knowing when to pull them: while the middles still look slightly undone. One...
Coconut orange quinoa pudding is what happens when a grain cooks in coconut milk and fresh orange juice instead of water — creamy, citrusy, and genuinely good for you. Dried cranberries plump as it chills, and every spoonful tastes like a much fancier dessert than 30...
Incredible carrot pineapple loaf cake stays moist for days, and the secret isn't a trick — it's well-drained crushed pineapple folded into the batter next to a heap of grated carrot. Cinnamon and ginger warm it up, wheat germ gives it a nutty edge....
This 5-minute blueberry compote is the make-once, use-all-week sauce: spoon it over yogurt, pancakes, or ice cream, or stir it into oatmeal. Lemon juice and a pinch of salt make the berries taste more like themselves, and arrowroot gives it a glossy, jammy set. Frozen...

Wholesome skillet cornbread with a crispy crust earns that crust honestly: the batter hits a cast-iron pan that's been preheating in the oven, and the sizzle you hear is the whole point. Inside, it's tender from milk and yogurt with just enough Sucanat...
Healthy no-cheese raspberry cheesecake is the dessert I serve skeptics first: silken tofu and yogurt cheese make a filling so creamy nobody asks what's missing. The graham crust uses coconut oil and brown-rice syrup, and the long chill after baking does the rest....
Gourmet veggie English muffin pizzas take 21 minutes, most of that the oven melting yogurt cheese, zucchini, and red onion onto crisp split muffins. A rubbed garlic clove and a dusting of nutritional yeast make them taste deliberate rather than thrown together. My...
Thai basil egg stir-fry is my 25-minute answer to takeout cravings — savory-sweet textured soy protein, soft eggs, and tomatoes folded through basil. The sauce is three ingredients stirred together before the pan gets hot, because once it does, everything moves fast....
