Chocolate, Pear & Buckwheat Muffins

I love a good muffin as much as the other gal, but one I know is giving me some nourishment, as well as some mouth pleasing pleasure, is an added bonus.Naturally gluten-free and higher in fibre and protein than regular flour, buckwheat flour has a beautiful nutty flavor that pairs so well with chocolate.

Salted Peanut Butter Cups

My best friend growing up was originally from the US, so I was introduced to American candy early! When my family moved cities, I missed my supply of Reese's Pieces Peanut Butter Cups and Peanut Butter M&M's (and my friend too of course!). Nowadays, these chocolate candies are way too sweet for my taste buds, however, this version you CAN enjoy in moderation, without the trans fats and refined sugar.

Chocolate Peanut Protein Fudge Bites

I whipped up these protein-packed bites using NuZest Chocolate Clean Lean protein powder, but you can use any kind of protein powder you like.As you can see, my chocolate coating skills leave a lot to be desired, and I've since had recommended to insert a toothpick and roll the bite in the chocolate to get an even coverage all around. Try that and let me know how you go.

Pesto Croquettes

Who doesn't love a hot croquette? Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, just delicious.Traditional potato croquettes are deep-fried, stuffed with breadcrumbs and in my opinion, somewhat bland by themselves.I give you the pesto croquette! Is there anything that pesto does not make taste better? I think not.I used my go-to vegan cashew pesto recipe for these, but you can use whatever pesto recipe you like, or heck, buy the pesto (just be careful to source a pesto made with olive oil, not canola).
