We know, back-to-school can be a stressful time for the wallet. But at Bonbon Collections, we've got plenty of tips to help you save money while making the most of the harvest season. Visit local markets to buy fresh fruit and vegetables for delicious recipes. Whether you're a pro in the kitchen or just looking for a few easy tricks, here are our three favorite tips for inclusive, vegan, gluten-free and allergen-free desserts and snacks! 🌟👩🍳
Hack 1: Who doesn't know the famous apple sauce?
Want a healthy snack that tastes like autumn and is super economical? Replace the oil or margarine/butter in your favorite recipe with apple sauce. Not only is it cheaper, but it adds a nice fruity touch to your muffins, gluten-free cakes and other sweet treats. And as an added bonus, it cuts calories and fat from your culinary creations. Try it in a carrot cake or apple cinnamon muffins, you'll be telling us all about it! 🍎🍰
Hack 2: Banana bread without the fuss
If you swear by banana bread, replace the amount of oil in your recipe with mashed banana. It's so simple, it works like a charm! And for even more fun and flavor, add chocolate chips, pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds instead of nuts or banana pieces. Not only do you save money, but you also get ultra-moist, allergen-free banana bread!
Hack 3: Ready-to-use cake mix + grated vegetables = winning snack 🥕🧁
Cake mixes are practical, but with a little twist, they become brilliant! Use our vegan, allergen-free cake mix and add a cup of shredded vegetables like carrot or zucchini to replace half the oil used. Not only do you benefit from seasonal vegetables, but you also get a nutritious, local and healthy snack for lunchtime. You'll have to keep an eye on the cooking, though, as it may take a little longer, but the result is well worth the effort! A moist cake without priority allergens is a must. Each recipe keeps well in the freezer, so make up a big batch and freeze them for quick, convenient snacks
** Please note that you can find all our gluten-free mixes on our website. They're delivered straight to your door.
We hope you find these tips useful, and that you enjoy trying them as much as we do.
