Review: Win-Win Baking

Win-Win Baking Course

You can find healthy recipes all over the place. Pinterest is full of them. There is a blog for every interpretation of the word “healthy”.  There are recipe directories dedicated to nothing but healthy vegan cooking and baking where you can scroll endlessly through the mouthwatering creations. There is inspiration and ideas everywhere, but what about the basics? What about the whys and the hows? Following a recipe is great, but knowing how and why it works is even better.

If you are newly diving into the world of healthy vegan baking, you might find yourself having thoughts like…

Is this actually healthy or just vegan?

I need how many different flours to make ONE gluten-free muffin?

Why so many milks? Can I just pick one and stick with it?

Is “sprouted” really that special or is this bag of spelt flour just ripping me off?

Pinky swear this cake won’t taste like cauliflower?

The sweetener aisle is a mile long, but sugar is sugar, right?

Lucie from Win-Win Food has taken this vast world of healthier ingredients and methods and simplified it ten-fold. And not only simplified it, but also explained everything in great detail in the new course: Win-Win Baking!

Win-Win Baking Course Win-Win Baking Course

If I had to describe this course in one word, it would be E M P O W E R I N G. Unlike a recipe that just tells you what to do, this course answers how and why. It gives you knowledge to understand how the cake came out so light and fluffy without eggs rather than just giving you the cake. But there is plenty of cake too!

Low-fat, sugar-free, gluten-free, oil-free–all these preferences are addressed in the course as well, with tons of options for how to shop, bake, and substitute accordingly. From the close-to-conventional to the really out there, its all covered throughout the 7 modules. With the information in this course there’s lots of room to develop your own healthy baking style.

And it’s not just about making the sweet treats, but decorating them too. There is a whole section devoted to how to make your baked goodies look Instagram-worthy naturally!

There is this section towards the end of the course that I really love and found to be incredibly helpful. Starting with a non-vegan recipe and using the info in previous modules, the course walks you through how to substitute and swap ingredients to make a healthier vegan version. This is such a great skill to know, and once you get the hang of it you can start to come up with your own recipes and adapt old favorites to fit your new healthier lifestyle.

Oh and let’s not forget the recipe section. Cakes, pies, cookies, quick breads, and (my personal favorite) the frosting/filling section. Your mouth will be watering.

The amount of information in this course is astonishing. Not only that, it is very practical and applicable to your life right now. It simplifies the necessary pantry items to a minimalist list of only 14! That’s like the pocket sized version of my current pantry situation #pantrygoals

There are even bi-weekly live Q&A sessions with Lucie (the creator of the course) to help answer any questions you might have along the way.

Healthy, vegan, simple, delicious–what more could you want?!

Registration is open through May 8th, so find all the details plus a free sample here and sign up!

      I think that’s why I love most about this course, anyone at any level can take something out of it because it is so incredibly thorough! Plus we all need more healthy frosting in our lives, so thats a big takeaway right there too 😀 It’s an amazing thing you’ve created here Lucie!

    What a great and wonderful thorough review of Lucie’s course Natalie! I have not had a chance to go through it in detail because of my crazy schedule, but I briefly looked over it and it has great info for newbie vegans who have never baked before! Such a fantastic resource, without a doubt! You did such a beautiful post on it all 🙂

    This course sounds like it would be so helpful! Sometimes I mess up my baking recipes so bad because I don’t know what flours or how much to use, this is perfect for me!

      Remember back to simpler times when flour was just flour and there weren’t 30498275 kinds?! Kinda crazy…and confusing! Yep I learned a lot in that section, there are plenty of flours out there I’ve never tried and a few I really want to now 🙂

Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free whi Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free white chocolate and this is DEFINITELY one of them🤎🤍 That decadent chocolate + peanut butter + coconut middle 1000% deserves the creamy coating and sprinkle finish, trust me💗 Recipe below…

Vegan White Chocolate Valentine’s Truffles
-1 package @emmysorganics Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies
-1/4 cup (65g) almond or peanut butter
-1/3 cup (60g) dark chocolate chips, melted
-Pinch of salt
-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-8oz vegan white chocolate.
-Optional: natural pink sprinkles + 1/4 cup more melted dark chocolate for topping

Melt the white chocolate. Pour a small spoonful into the bottom of each cavity of the mold, and tilt to coat the bottom and up the sides of each heart. Freeze. Set aside the remaining white chocolate. Melt the dark chocolate chips. In a food processor combine the Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies, almond/peanut butter, melted chocolate, salt, and vanilla. Process until smooth, it should be the consistency of a thick brownie batter. Place about 2 tsps of the chocolate mixture into each heart and press to flatten. Cover with remaining melted white chocolate. Chill until chocolate is set. Carefully remove from the molds. Optionally drizzle with more dark chocolate and top with sprinkles. Enjoy!

Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyy Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyyyy too many medjool recipes on the blog to mention, so I picked this friday-easy, highly-fudgy, personal fave: No-Bake Vegan Chocolate Cream Pie!

Four ingredient chocolate crumb crust. Three ingredient date-sweetened cream filling. Its truly TOO simple and TOO good❤️

Crust
-2 cups almonds (or nuts of choice)
-1/2 cup cocoa powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/4 cup coconut oil
Filling
-12oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
-3 cups non-dairy milk 
-1 cup (10-12) pitted medjool dates (@ndmedjooldates are my favorite!)

Blend almonds, cocoa powder, and salt. Add the coconut oil. Blend until the texture is moist and crumbly. Press into the bottom of a pie pan and up the sides.

Blend the milk and dates on high until very smooth. Add melted chocolate and blend until combined. Pour into the crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate (creamier more like a pudding/mud pie) or freeze (firmer texture) overnight, or for at least 8 hours. Slice and enjoy!

Channeling sweet summer energy into this chilly wi Channeling sweet summer energy into this chilly winter week with a Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Bar closeup🍫❤️ Swap in any berry you love (big big fan of the tart raspberry tang though😋), but you need a bite of this lush dairy-free filling on top of @emmysorganics dark cacao cookie crust situation.

Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cu Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cutout cookie + sprinkles moment??🎄

This is my fave vegan and paleo recipe—super moist and tender with almond flour, heavy on the molasses, with a pop of lemon, and they’re oil-free!

Ingredients
-1/2 cup coconut sugar
-1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
-1/4 cup molasses
-1 tbsp lemon juice
-2 tsps ginger
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/4 tsp cloves
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-2 cups almond flour (oat flour option linked in my bio!)

Whisk coconut sugar, almond butter, molasses, and lemon juice until combined. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix/knead to form a ball of dough. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness between two pieces of wax paper. Chill dough flat for 30 minutes. Cutout cookies with a cookie cutter, then use a spatula to carefully transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes at 350F or until golden around the edges. You can re-roll/cut the excess dough. Cool completely. Decorate (I used melted coconut butter + matcha for the “glaze”) and enjoy!
