Vegan Zucchini Bread
A deliciously moist vegan zucchini bread perfect for a holiday get together or just a cozy night at home.
The temperature is dropping, the holidays are here, and it’s time to get cozy with a warm piece of deliciously moist zucchini bread. As you guys know by now, I’m always on a mission to make foods that are vegan for my husband, but I definitely don’t want them to taste any different than the original. I tired a few versions to get this recipe right and believe it or not - the best one ended up being oil free, plus it’s packed with the PB2 Performance - Peanut Protein (Dutch Cocoa) Powder.

VEGAN ZUCCHINI BREAD
[ INGREDIENTS: ]
1 Zucchini (yields 1 cup), grated on smallest setting & ever so lightly squeeze the excess liquid out
1/2 cup Unsweetened Apple Sauce (if you don’t have apple sauce, 1/2c canola/vegetable oil also works)
2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
1 tablespoon Flaxseed Meal mixed with 3 tablespoons of water. Mix together and let sit for 5 minutes before adding. (This is your egg replacer and it’s my go-to in baking)
1/2 cup Vegan Sour Cream
3/4 cup PB2 Performance - Peanut Protein (Dutch Cocoa) Powder
1 cup Coconut Sugar (if you don’t have coconut sugar, 1/2c brown sugar and 1/2c regular granulated sugar is delicious as well)
1 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
1 cup Vegan Chocolate Chips
[ INSTRUCTIONS: ]
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease loaf pan and add parchment paper for easy removable at the end.
Make flax egg by combining 1 tablespoon of Flaxseed Meal with 3 tablespoons on water. Stir together and set aside for about 5 minutes.
Wash zucchini and grate. I used a box grater on the smallest setting. Ever so lightly squeeze the excess water out with your hands - you still want it nice and wet though so barely do it.
Combine and mix all of the wet ingredients in one large bowl (shredded zucchini, unsweetened apple sauce, vanilla extract, flax egg, and sour cream.
Combine and mix all of the dry ingredients in a separate large bowl (PB2 Protein Powder, sugar, flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Combine both mixed bowls together.
Fold in vegan chocolate chips.
Pour batter into greased loaf pan.
Bake in the middle oven rack for 45-55 minutes. I like my zucchini bread to be as soft as possible so I’m on team 45 minutes, but Zach likes the outside to be a little more done so he likes it at 55 minutes (of course this depends on how hot your oven cooks).
Note: The toothpick method doesn’t work with this zucchini bread. I tried baking it until the toothpick came out clean and ended up at an hour with a wet toothpick before I gave up. That loaf ended up having too tough of an outside for my liking. 45 minutes is my ideal time. The entire loaf is soft and moist which is the goal!
Remove from oven and let loaf cool for about 30 minutes. As delicious as it is warm, it’s also AMAZING the next day. Enjoy!

The Best Gluten Free Vegan Crepes
Hi guys! I hope you’re doing well! Today I’m bringing you these DELICIOUS vegan and gluten free crepes. I recently switched to a gluten free lifestyle a few weeks ago to help my Hashimotos disease (doctors orders) so I’ve been on the hunt to make food that tastes no different than what I’m used to. My husband is vegan so 95% of what I make I want him to be able to eat as well so here you go - an amazing gluten-free and vegan crepe!
The star of the show today is the PB2 Performance - Peanut Protein (Dutch Cocoa) which is packed with 20g of protein per serving! You can easily mix it with milk, add it to your morning smoothie, or put it in your food like I did!

If you’re wondering what the pink drizzle is, it’s just some raspberries mixed with the yogurt. You know, because who doesn’t want a little pink on their food?
The Best Gluten Free Vegan Crepes
Serving: 3-4 people (the batter makes 10, 6” crepes)
INGREDIENTS:
CREPES:
2 Tbsp flaxseed meal and 6 tbsp water. Mix together and set aside for 5 min.
3/4 cup GF oat milk
1/2 cup sparkling water (regular water works, too)
1 cup of “1 to 1” GF baking flour
1/4 tsp salt
3 tablespoons vegan butter
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
2 scoops PB2 Performance - Peanut Protein (Dutch Cocoa)
1 tbsp maple syrup
FILLING:
8oz Vanilla GF vegan yogurt
2-3 cups of berries of your choice
TOPPING:
Berries of your choice
Powdered Sugar for dusting
Instructions:
Make two flaxseed “eggs” by combining flaxseed meal with water. Mix together and set aside for 5 minutes.
Combine all of the crepe ingredients into a blender until smooth. If you have to hand mix, make sure the batter is as smooth as possible.
*Tip: you can make the batter the night before if you want! Store in the fridge and it will be good to go the next morning.Heat a small 6” non-stick pan on medium heat. Spray with oil.
Pour a small amount of crepe batter into pan and immediately start twirling the pan to help spread the batter out as thin as possible. **YOU GOT THIS! Don’t let this part stress you out. It takes practice if you’ve never made crepes before.
After about a minute, use a spatula to lift the edges and carefully flip the crepe. Cook the other side until golden brown. Repeat with the rest of the batter.
Spread the vanilla yogurt on each crepe like sauce on a pizza, add about 4-5 berries in a row, and roll the crepe up.
Top with whatever you want! I used powdered sugar and more berries.
Enjoy!
