Question:

Do you have a favorite easy dessert to make for non WFPB eaters?
— Judy Lemco
Answer:
If you go into the Engine two cookbook, there is a recipe called dumpster cobbler, and it's called dumpster cobbler because it's the easiest dessert in the world to make. Uh, it's essentially a cake. And, uh, after you put it into your baking pan, you cover it with fresh fruit. So I like to use raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries. And then you bake it and it comes out and has a very aha moment to it. And then I will serve it with some homemade banana ice cream and add a garnish of maybe some, uh, fresh mint. And, uh, there's no oil, no refined sugar. It's sweetened with maple syrup, and it's a big crowd pleaser. And as I had mentioned earlier, I also like to make, uh, black bean brownies, uh, which are another hit. And I don't ever tell people that there are black bean brown. I just say, I made some brownies. They're egg and dairy free, and that's all they need to know. Um, you can ask someone if they have an allergy. I don't know too many people who are, um, allergic to, um, black beans. I did wanna say, just, just for one last thing in these, um, gluten-free, um, English muffins, they do contain sesame, sesame seeds, which in 2023 sesame seeds were listed as the ninth serious allergen. So keep in mind that if you are making dishes for someone who might have a nut or seed allergy, I would not be using sesame seeds more.
