Why Vegan GF Granola and Cookies?

I came up with these recipes when I had to clean up my diet for health reasons. I could no longer have soy, gluten, dairy and processed foods. Ugh! This was a rough adjustment. I searched for flavorful foods or snacks with wholesome ingredients but could not readily find them. Consequently, I had to figure it out myself by adjusting my current recipes and creating new ones. I loved sharing these creations with friends and family, not telling them just how healthy they were, just watching their surprise after learning they were vegan and gluten free. I have spent years doing this and with a lot of encouragement from those loved ones, I decided to sell it.​

Ingredients

I hand select all ingredients mindfully. I chose quality brands that are vegan, sustainable, pure, non-GMO, certified and 75% to 100% organic (depending upon the product). Furthermore, I only choose those with flavor that is natural to that ingredient. No refined sugars are included. For those watching their sugar, cane sugar is in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Sustainability

I have created and packaged these vegan goods with sustainability in mind. My ingredients are either raw or minimally processed. All packaging is compostable (meets ASTM 6400 standards) or recyclable. Even the packaging popcorn is compostable. Also, I ship via Sendle who offset 100% of the carbon emissions from shipping.

Freshness

All baked goods are made in small batches and made to order and placed in a recyclable stand up pouch, which is heat sealed for freshness. Also I am addicted to mason jars. All my ingredients are stored in them in order to get away from plastic, but also I have found nothing keeps freshness like mason jars. I do offer my granola to be purchased in mason jars too, which makes a lovely gift in a reusable container.
