Brownie Bites

Go to Recipe

These wheat-free, butterless brownies are decadent and dense. "It's really, really hard to make a good vegan brownie," says chef Erin McKenna. Her first efforts using applesauce and vegetable oil were cakey or fluffy. It took her six months of making small adjustments to perfect them.

Strawberry-Almond Scones

Go to Recipe

When baking these scones, be sure to use whole wheat pastry flour, which is less dense than whole wheat flour. Mixing in some all-purpose white flour also lightens the texture of the scones, so they're more delicate and tender.

Back-to-School Raspberry Granola Bars

Go to Recipe

Karen DeMasco's crumbly soft, jammy-sweet bars travel well, so they're ideal for school bake sales. She says, "They are quick to put together with pantry staples, and everyone seems to love them." They're delicious made with any flavor of jam, as well as the raspberry preserves called for here. (Recipe adapted from The Craft of Baking.)

Asparagus and Bok-Choy Frittata

Credit: © KAREN MORDECHAI
Go to Recipe

When making an Italian frittata, don't limit yourself to traditional ingredients. The Asian flavors that fill this version offer a real change of pace. Cook the eggs on top of the stove or in the oven --but be sure to use moderate heat so they don't turn rubbery.

  • Yukon Gold Potato, Leek and Fromage Blanc Frittata
