Creamy chocolate bars {vegan + gluten-free}

I know I said I was on a bit of a hiatus, but I just had to jump back and share these rich, melt-y chocolate bars that have been helping me through my current chocolate fetish. Spinning round on my brain all day long is pretty much a solid trigger for comfort food, but there’s none better at this point than silky chocolate. Huzzah!

Sweet potato oat bars {vegan + gluten-free}

I have a confession to make: these bars almost didn’t make it to the blog. Not because they aren’t delicious, but because I almost ate them all up before taking pictures earlier this week. Usually I’m quite good and don’t really scarf down every morsel, but I don’t even think Man-thing got a real slice, which goes to show that these are magical indeed!

Choc banana loaf bars {vegan + gluten-free}

I know, I know, it’s like I couldn’t make up my mind about what on earth this is. It’s a loaf and works as a bar, so… yep. That’s as big as my brain can go at the moment! With lesson prep for school, a new kitty to integrate (see below!!), and general life to organize, it’s difficult to stay afloat sometimes without a little help. Chocolate helps. Bananas help. Onward ho for munchies!

Creamy turtle chocolate squares

Ngghhh. I don’t know how else to introduce this, but it’s good. Really pretty on the slab and in my mouth. That sounds raunchier than it’s meant to be, but it’s Friday and my brain is somewhat fried :pAnd before you all dash off to see what’s what, don’t forget to download your super free copy of The Chocolate Cleanse Riot ebook (all vegan and mostly gluten-free, and of course 100% dedicated to chocolate!)

The chocolate cleanse riot: free ebook!

It’s finally here!! I can’t remember if I’ve been sneaky or not about this ebook (which is possibly another layer of ninja if I can hide even that from myself) but I’ve finished and it’s all yours for free and it’s 100% dedicated to my food mistress: chocolate. No matter how busy I get or how lazy, there’s always time in the day for a nibble on something chocolate-y. I may have something of an addiction, but I’ve decided to make a total chocolate cleanse for myself….with chocolate. And since it’s free, you can “cleanse” with me! 😀

Nutty crumble cocoa oat bars

Warning, this is all about the comfort food, since this has been a sucky month and I don’t foresee any let-up anytime soon (and hence chocolate!). I’ve got my first exam later today, so naturally I’m procrastinating just a little, but I’ve been meaning to share my comfort munchies for the past week or so, so here goes! 🙂

Protein crunch bars {gf + v/vegan MOFO}

Today’s vegan Mofo theme is a bit strange to me because I’m a homebody who fiercely protects her personal space and alone time (Man-thing and cats don’t count as “other people” and therefore don’t bother me). We do take an annual holiday admittedly but then the answer to the question of what we would bring on a vegan road trip is “everything”. Since I’m not going to unpack my whole kitchen for this post I decided to make some easy protein crunch bars, since that’s always the one thing that’s guaranteed to fuel the long hours on the road. 

Silky mocha nut brownies

Today’s recipe is super easy, healthy, and great to have in the fridge to cure the munchies, which seems to be my constant mood of late. Also, there’s nothing better than chocolate to ease you into a weekend, especially if the weekend involves work (as mine will)! If not, chocolate still has a right to exist in your life in the form of these brownies.

Funfetti bars

At some point this week I stupidly promised Man-thing cookies, despite these not being my realm of expertise. I was off sick on Thursday and thought I’d get to it then, but the thought of concocting anything flat and round made me rather despondent, so I stuck to what I know: cake-ish bars of glee!
