It’s time for the review of Mega Chocolate Chunks from Enjoy Life Foods. What got me very excited about these chocolate chunks was that its vegan. For long time now I have been trying to get hold of some vegan chocolate chips but couldn’t find it. I was able to find a lot of other specialty food products and even some from the Enjoy Life Foods’ line but not the vegan chocolate chips. So I immediately agreed to review the mega chunks.

Sugar Free Chocolate Banana Bread

Our family loves banana bread so much that we sometimes leave bananas to over ripe just to bake the bread. This time I chose to bake a chocolate banana bread from here. I made a couple of changes intentionally and a big one unintentionally! Yes, I forgot to add the sugar while mixing the dry ingredients and didn’t realize it until I scraped the batter into the loaf pan. I was lazy to put back the batter and mix in the sugar. Also I thought that this would lead to over mixing and will result in a tough bread. So I decided to bake it just like that. You must be wondering how it tasted?

It’s almost a month since I updated here! What was I doing all these days? Nothing new except the same old routine. So monotonous. I didn’t even want to bake. I was going through (and still am to some extent) the “wish-there-was-a-time-machine-so-I-could-become-a-child-again” phase. I had borrowed few cookbooks from the library to know more about preparing baby food (now that my little one has started solids) only to keep renewing it week after week. There were a couple of interesting recipes I wish I had tried but managed to try only one.

Vegan Pear Cake

I had bookmarked this apple cake recipe long back and didn’t get a chance to try it until last week. As usual Taste of Home’s recipe didn’t fail me. Since I have baked a lot of apple cakes, I decided to substitute it with pears and the result was total yumminess. This is my first try baking a pear cake and it turned out so good that even my husband who usually stays away from sweets kept asking for seconds and thirds. When I tasted the batter I felt it was over the top sweet but after baking the cake did not taste very sweet. It was sweeter than some of the recipes I have here but definitely good. So for me this is more of a dessert cake than a snack cake.
