These Gluten Free Date Bars with Almonds and Oats (Vegan) are nutty and sweet with subtle notes of caramel and a hint of vanilla.

I recently found a huge bag of dates tucked into the back of my pantry. I’m not one to waste food if I can help it, and I wanted to find a way to use them. Crumb bars came to mind!

Cinnamon is the perfect spice to accentuate the flavor profile and pull everything together in my Gluten Free Date Bars with Almonds and Oats….

If you enjoy classic Zucchini Bread, these sweetly spiced Soft and Chewy Spiced Zucchini Cookies are for you!

Of all the numerous flavors of quick bread that are out there, my absolute favorite is without a doubt zucchini bread. To me, it completely blows banana bread out of the water, especially in terms of how moist zucchini bread is, and the fact that unlike banana, the flavor of zucchini itself doesn’t overpower the other flavors going on….

These Almond-Scented Zucchini Muffins are sweetly aromatic thanks to a secret ingredient: mahlab!

Most often I find that zucchini bread is warmly spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg. It’s a lovely flavor pairing that just works.

Growing up we had a neighbor who was the best baker (quite possibly in the history of baking), and she did something completely different with her zucchini bread….

What? Wait WHAT, are you adding to those muffins?!

Is that…BEETS?!!

Why yes, honey, yes it is, I replied to my hubby with a smile one day as I was caught red-handed. (Haha, literally, I guess, since I’m always red after handling beets. Corny joke, sorry.)…
