The Recipes
Our recipes are plant-based and mostly gluten-free, and they fall into at least one of these three simple categories:
- 30 minutes or less
- 1 bowl
- 10 ingredients or less*
*We don’t count water or “optional” ingredients toward the 10 ingredient count.
Baker? Does that mean you only make dessert?
While there’s always been a love for sweet things, Minimalist Baker is about much more. We love our hearty entrées as much as we love our decadent desserts.
Whether you have dietary restrictions or not, we hope you’ll find something you love here. Find all of our recipes here.

No Sponsored Content
We feel that it’s important to mention we don’t accept free products or do sponsored content on Minimalist Baker. This is because we value our readers’ trust above all and aim to keep our content pure and honest.
While we have worked with brands we love in the past, it’s something we’ve chosen not to practice moving forward. We want our audience to know we aren’t being paid to say or promote anything – period. Every new post is original, valuable, and unsponsored.
Our Roots
While Dana (@danainreallife) leads recipe development and John (@jshltz) manages all things technical, we are now a small team of people working to make Minimalist Baker a destination for plant-based recipes.
