Everyone, meet the *unicorn* of allergen-friendly baking. Looking for something:

• Dairy free?

• Nut free?

• Egg free?

• Gluten free?

• Eco friendly? 

• Practically free? 

• Very cute?

These cookies are puffy, crispy, sweet, melt-in-your-mouth, fulfill all your childhood dreams in one!

Occam's razor:

The quest for the simplest solution, the one with the most minimal components. 

The question: Can we make broccoli soup taste

• Cheesy and creamy, but

• with minimal ingredients and steps? 

Now, I would never tell you how you should drink your coffee. But I will, as a scientist, therapist, and a friend, strongly recommend pairing it with a slice of this dairy free coffee cake. 

Ah, coffee cake. The cake that contains no coffee but often more than a hint of dairy in the forms of butter and sour cream. This tender cake with a crumb topping that also sneaks in the middle, this cake pairs beautifully with your morning or afternoon coffee. Dressed up with a pecan topping, it also holds its place at a holiday dessert table. 

I aim to demonstrate that this delicious and versatile coffee cake can be made free of any form of dairy and can still be dreamily tender and worthy of pride.
