Granny Eats Chocolate-- Vegan Cakes, Cookies, Brownies, and Other Recipes Using Chocolate

Organic Granny is a fan of Fair Trade, vegan chocolate, cacao, cocoa, and the products that are made from "the bean".
What you find below are links to all the vegan chocolate recipes I have posted over the past several years.

Most of the chocolate recipes here use "natural sweeteners" or suggest them as alternatives to the usual commercial sugars.  There are also many recipes listed that are made with gluten-free flour or ingredients.

DISCLOSURE: Organic Granny does love chocolate, but since dealing with a heart condition called "atrial fibrillation", she is fairly moderate in her consumption of chocolate, attempting to eat it only during special occasions, and then, moderately.  Like many other plants, cocoa/cacao is a heart stimulant.  Speak to your physician or other health care professional if you if you are on prescribed medications, or if you find that your heart races when you consume chocolate or coffee/tea.  If you are on prescription medication, read about the effects of various food and herbs when taking these medications.

Pan-Fry Carrots (Roast Carrot Sticks)

Pan-roasted carrots (with some potato fries mixed in) Our younger son--at one time in the life he styled as "Nomad Farmer"-- lived and grew organic vegetables, fruit and berries on an off-grid community farm in the interior of BC.  We stopped in to see him the one time and came away with a load of over-wintered carrots, still as carrot-y flavoured and plump as on the day they were dug from the ground, thanks to the hill-side root crop storage cellar.   Our granddaughters opted for fish and chips today for lunch, and some of the 'chips' were carrot chips.  They are also a great base for a roast carrot soup.  When you roast veggies, you get extra delicious flavour.  You will also find two wonderful recipes for Holiday carrot side dishes-- Maple-glazed roasted carrots with a recipe for a lemony vegan sauce (made with cashews) and Lemon-Herb roasted carrots made with a Pecan Relish recipe, PAN-FRY CARROTS (Roast Carrot Sticks) <more properly ...
