Granola (or Muesli as it’s known in Oz!) is a favourite in our house. We have tried so many different store bought ones but after making this Nutty Granola for the first time a few years ago, we haven’t looked back. It’s full of flavour and knowing it has clean and natural ingredients makes allContinue reading “Nutty Granola”

Bananas are a staple at our house. They’re always on hand, which means sometimes we have a few get beyond the happy eating phase, lol. This time, rather than freeze them for nice cream or smoothies I wanted to try a vegan banana bread that was still relatively healthy. That’s where this beauty was born! Unlike some of myContinue reading “Vegan banana bread – so yum!”

Several Christmases ago I got a waffle maker just like this one as a gift and we’ve never looked back!  Almost every Saturday I make waffles for the family. It’s become our “special breakfast day” tradition. But it’s one I don’t often participate in the eating of! I thought it was about time I try to put togetherContinue reading “Vegan waffles – fluffy and gluten free!”

We love us some coffee at Free Spirited Sisters and sometimes it’s nice to have a fancy coffee with flavored creamer, but also nice to have one with simple, clean ingredients, and that’s where this vegan creamer comes in! Cashew Cream is a vegan staple and is extremely versatile. We use it as a base forContinue reading “Vegan creamer – fancy coffee”

In Australia, there are still those yummy crisp and cool sunny mornings, and in the States, we’re finally getting some too! And over here that means pumpkin spice latte time and the official heralding in of Fall. I remember when I first moved over here I was a little (ok, a lot) grossed out atContinue reading “Pumpkin spice latte – Fall is here!”

RICE MILK TO THE RESCUE! We’ve given you a couple of plant-based milk options that you can make yourself and pretty easily too. Check out our earlier recipes for Almond milk and Oat Milk and why you should think about making the switch to plant milk here. And now, mostly because I’ve been trying my hand at making many typesContinue reading “Rice milk – A filling plant-based option”

I make a wonderful slice regularly, but on one occasion I messed up a peanut butter version of the recipe and it wouldn’t stick together into bars. I didn’t want to waste it so I made it into peanut butter granola and it was decadently delicious! Wow, did my little man love it. He eats it asContinue reading “Peanut butter granola – A high protein breakfast the kids will love”

If you’re thinking about switching to a non-dairy milk, need an alternative to nut milk, or would just like to try something new, oat milk could be a good option. Unlike nut milk, the oats don’t require soaking overnight, which makes it a speedy option when you need it in a pinch. Oats are alsoContinue reading “Oat milk – an easy, inexpensive option”

I love almond milk. I made the switch from dairy milk about four years ago and I’m never going back! I went through many different brands and varieties until I found the one I liked best. Recently, I came across a recipe in The Moon Juice Cookbook (Amanda Chantal Bacon) that made making it myself sound oh,Continue reading “Almond Milk – make your own!”
