These sweet treats can be made in just minutes. The measly two ingredients are items most of us have on hand.
They’re a great go-to dessert when you’re making a laborious main-course and you want to include something easy to finish up the meal.
Or think of these when surprise guests pop over during the holidays.
But please… don’t fight over who gets to lick the bowl clean. ‘Tis the season. Can’t we all just get along?

May 10, 2012 at 9:34 amI really enjoy your fun videos, Cadry! I’m recommending your site to a number of friends who’ve all watched “Forks Over Knives” and are making the switch, with their families, to vegan. Which leads me to ask, the Dr. Esselstyne is adamant against added oil. Do you know of any fat-free chocolate chips? And do you have a collection of fat free vegan recipes? And, um…if I may get personal…is the man with you in the videos your hubby? You look perfect together!

May 10, 2012 at 10:43 amThanks for your lovely comment, Jane! Yes, my video cohort is my husband. He’s also my Final Cut editing pro, and so I’ve lucked out having him on hand! 🙂 We have a lot of fun making the videos together. I’m glad you’re enjoying them.
I’m not aware of any fat-free chocolate chips. I’ll keep an eye out for them and let you know!
My cooking isn’t always fat-free since I eat avocados, nuts, and seeds. However, I use very little oil in my cooking, and so it’s generally easy to work around in my recipes if it is there. For recipes that call for sautĂ©ing in oil, I recommend using water instead. If you’re not familiar with a water sautĂ©, you just get your skillet hot, and add a tablespoon of water to sautĂ© the vegetables instead of oil. It works surprisingly well. You can find all of my recipes on my recipe tab above, and here are the recipes that can easily be made without oil, if they aren’t oil-free already:

May 10, 2012 at 8:39 pmWow! You got back to me fast! Thank you, Cadry! This information is soooo helpful. Thank you bunches for taking the time to compile this handy list of recipes with no added oil. And yes, I do tend to get a little happy with avocados and nuts and peanut butter. 🙂 If I may suggest, since I believe healthy wholegrain, plant based eating will go increasingly mainstream and that “Forks Over Knives” will be one important catalyst, with lots of people looking for no added fat, wholegrain vegan recipes…you might consider putting this list, or a link to it, on your home page. And btw, we (family of four) enjoyed our first banana ice cream today. Delish! Even my finicky 7 year old was asking for more!
