Peanut Butter Banana Bread
Another day, another banana bread! This time, a peanut butter banana bread. It has an amazing nutty flavor to it and the texture is quite moist as I love it! I love to play around with banana bread – I had two very (very) ripped bananas sitting in my fridge for aaages until they became all black. So I knew it was a “now or never” kinda thing. This time, I added some peanut butter. And the result is dope. I think the peanut butter + coconut oil mix just gives this cake a super soft and moist texture I adore. Hope you try and like it too 🙂 […
Poffertjes (Dutch Mini-Pancakes)
Anyone knows what “poffertjes” are? These traditional dutch mini-pancakes are usually eaten with icing sugar and syrup, especially during holidays such as Christmas. You can also add berries and whipped cream on top! Ideally you would use a poffertjes pan, however I just baked mine on a pan and they still ended up spongy and light. The secret is to just put a tiny bit of batter at a time, to keep the poffertjes small, as they will rise and expand a bit. It’s a nice recipe that will be a good adding to a week-end brunch table. Try it and let me know what you think! You'll quickly fall…

Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie
Hey peeps! Sorry for having been MIA lately. Had to catch up with lots of work but also got the time to do loads of baking. A few weeks ago I got a skillet for 14$ (initially because I wanted to make shakshuka), and decided it would be amazing to make a giant chocolate chip skillet cookie. A skillet cookie is basically your average cookie, but ten times bigger – I mean come oooon ?! This chocolate chip skillet cookie was a definite success, and I’ll definitely making more of these to impress friends here and there x Can I only put white sugar only / brown sugar only ?…
2-Ingredients Bagels
This week I am coming with a super easy and fast to make greek yoghurt bagels recipe. Not only they’re high in protein but, since we’re using baking powder, there is no wait for the dough to rise! (I got you, suuuper annoying as I get impatient). The first time I read greek yoghurt and bagels in the same sentence, I was a bit confused. My first reaction was “yeah! greek yoghurt bagels seem healthy” but in the back of my mind, I still somehow had a little doubt about how this could work. Until I decided a few days ago to give it a go. This greek yoghurt bagels…

These super fast to make bagels require no rising time!…
Lemon Chia Seed Cake
My favorite cakes are moist, but not buttery cakes. I was sick for a few days and loaded up on lemons, so I just figured out I obviously had to do something involving lemons. And what’s better than a lemon cake? This lemon cake with chia seeds nailed it in terms of texture, and from now on I’ll be following the same ratios in baking. Rule number one, for moist cakes, is to use 1/4 cup of butter for every cup of butter. Another thing is to make use of brown or coconut sugar! sugar The darker color of this cake comes from the fact I subsituted about 2/3 of…
The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies
If there is one recipe every baking enthusiast needs, it’s a good ol’ chocolate chip recipe. Easy and fast to make, gooey, and perfect for any occasion (or non-occasion). I have been hooked on chocolate chip cookies forever. I don’t usually dip mine in milk, though! A few comments about chocolate chips: Sugar White sugar and brown sugar do not exactly behave the same, and playing with ratios will give you different textures. Brown sugar contains molasses, which will make your cookie softer. As a general rule I like to go with a ratio of brown sugar: white sugar of 2:1 Can I substitute coconut sugar for brown sugar? Yes…
How to make the Perfect Buttercream Recipe (In less than 20 min!)
American buttercream is definitely the most popular icing recipe out there. Eady to make, requires not special skill or equipment, and have I talked about the creaminess ? I get satisfaction whenever I get the optimal, creamy buttercream texture, ready to be placed on cakes or cupcakes. Let’s dive in straight into the recipe, shall we? What do I need ? The buttercream ingredients themselves are minimal: butter, icing sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. What’s the best icing sugar to butter ratio? I have found that a 4:1 ratio is a bit too sweet, so I usually do between that and 3:1. As a beginner, a ratio of 3:1…
The Best Banana Bread Recipe
If you follow my instagram, you probably know how much I love bananas, and banana bread. It’s most definitely in my top 3 favorite desserts. I have made many banana bread variations among the years. My first attempts ended up too “banany” (if that’s even a word!) or too dense, and not enough fluffy. I made this cake yesterday evening, and I absolutely fell in love with the texture of it. Banana bread is super easy to make, and you probably already have all you need at home. I always keep some bananas with me at home, some frozen to quickly threw into a smoothie or to make banana “ice…
