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…

I managed to make these bagels in less than 45min, which is quite an achievement! I also brought some to my friends at the office and they all liked them. Hope you try the recipe! 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 Brownies
Guys. These brownies were the bomb. Thinking about it, I have probably made brownies one or twice at most in my life. I always get flashbacks of nice childhood memories whenever I eat some, as my mom used to (and still) does make an incredible recipe. These brownies I made are soft, moist, and just the perfect brownies texture. I also added some chocolate chunks, and when they melt the brownies become gooey and all 😍 Ok, I really need to some being too graphic, and get straight to the recipe! Ingredients 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup flour 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1/4 tsp baking powder 1/2 cup softened…

Fluffiest Pancakes
I always like me some fluffy pancakes x These pancakes are one of the fluffiest you’ll see. Made this recipe the other day and they ended up just like I expected them. The key to making fluffy pancakes is to beat the egg whites separately, and then incorporate them gradually to the batter. These pancakes are not too sweet, so they’re perfect with some maple syrup or honey on top. Ingredients: 200g flour 200ml 2% milk 1 tbsp baking powder 3 tbsp sugar 1 tbsp vanilla sugar 2 eggs 25g butter 25ml sunflower or vegetable oil Pinch of salt Instructions: In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients together Melt the…
Coffee Pancakes
When it comes to tea or coffee, I cannot chose a side. I equally love both. I’m inclusive. A few weeks ago I made a coffee cake and it ended up so so good. So I decided to continue involving coffee in my dishes and wenr for a pancake recipe. Cause one dose of coffee in the morning ain’t enough, you see. Ingredients: • 1 cup flour • 1/4 cup coconut sugar • 3/4 tsp baking powder • 1 small or medium egg • 2 tbsp softened butter • 1 small riped banana, mashed • 1/2 cup coffee • Optional: 1 tbsp maple syrup Instructions: 1 – In a bowl,…
