1. Warm up the water until it is between 100°-115° F and add 1 teaspoon of sugar, and all the yeast. Stir and let sit for a few minutes. Yeast should activate.
2. Add the coconut oil, salt, 2 cups of flour, remaining coconut sugar, and stir until the mixture comes together. Add additional flour in ½ cup increments until mixture pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Turn dough out onto floured surface and knead a few times until you form a smooth ball.
3. Combine the cinnamon + coconut sugar mixture. Dust the counter with more flour, and turn the dough ball out onto the floured surface.
4. Make dough rectangle about 12x16 inches. Spread melted coconut oil over the rolled out dough.
5. Sprinkle oil with cinnamon and coconut sugar mixture.
6. Starting at the long end closes to you, begin to (gently but tightly) roll the dough up into a log. You should get around 12 rolls.
7. Set somewhere warm for about 40 minutes. After 40 min, put in preheat oven to 350°F. Rolls should puff up and double in size. Bake them for about 15 minutes.
OK so for the next month I am going to attempt to be zero waste and I am posting this here so I actually feel accountable There are actually so many packaged goods at the supermarket that can be made at home for a quarter of the price (talk about that student life) and without all the unnecessary packing and weird numbers in the ingredients list. Like granola holy heck there is no way I am paying $16 for a packet This is currently my favourite INGREDIENTS 1 ½ cups (135 g) gluten-free rolled oats ½ cup (40 g) unsweetened coconut flake (large flakes are best) ½ cup (54 g) slivered raw almonds (or raw almonds, chopped) ½ cup (50 g) raw pecan halves 1 Tbsp (12 g) sugar ¼ tsp sea salt 3 Tbsp (45 ml) coconut oil 1/3 cup (80 ml) maple syrup 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Mix in a large bowl and bake for 25 minutes at 160C. They key is to leave it to cool for a good 10 minutes before transferring to a container so it can get super chunky And yes that is a turmeric latte what am I turning into

Hey so I thought I’d share a really easy vegan recipe that I use for serving at parties, or to just have as a “cheat meal” at home!
This recipe is great, and really simple to master and use as a meat substitute. Jackfruit is high in nutrients and fiber, and can be found in most of your local Asian food markets!
Shredded jackfruit barbecue sandwiches!
So this took me approximately 30 minutes to make (including prep time) by pan, but using a slow cooker is also an option!
Ingredients you will need:
1 pound of jackfruit (preferably frozen)
½ of a white onion
Barbecue sauce of your choosing
2 cloves of garlic
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
Pinch of salt & pepper
Directions:
The first thing you’re going to want to do is defrost your jackfruit, which you can do by leaving it in a bowl in your refrigerator overnight, or running it underneath cold water for some time (heat can turn it into mush)
Chop your onion into small chunks, same with your garlic!
Place in strainer and de-seed jackfruit, and then squish out all the water with your hands until it is as dry as you can possibly get it ! (Also note that if you cannot remove all the seeds, that is okay!)
Convert to bowl, and shred with a fork (similar to how you would shred pork) and sprinkle in your brown sugar, salt, and pepper! (This helps your jackfruit retain more flavor later on!)
Taking a large cooking pan, set it to medium heat, and add about ½ a tablespoon of vegetable oil (you can also use coconut oil or olive oil if you like.)
Add the onion and garlic mixture, and stir around occasionally for a minute until some you see some color, and then add in your jackfruit!
Cook your jackfruit on a medium heat (stirring occasionally) for about five minutes until you see it starting to brown at the edges.
Once browned slightly, reduce your heat to low, and add in your barbecue sauce with equal parts water, and stir around (I start with half a cup of bbq sauce and half a cup of water, but you can always add more later!!)
Cook on low for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, and then remove from heat and serve!
