Chocolate Protein Balls
Guys. In the past to criminals in the Roman Empire, they used to attach each one of their limbs to a horse. Then order the horses to run in all directions. Ouch. I feel like life is trying to do that to me. So many things to do which have NOTHING to do with each other. Gotta process my simulations result. Prepare my french lessons (I’m a french teacher too). Work on the model of a CubeSat satellite we’re trying to send into space – if we win the competition – with ANOTHER team. On top of that I’m preparing for the Dobson cup. Now don’t get it wrong, I…
Irish soda bread
We all love the smell of homemade bread straight of the oven. However, we don’t like to knead it, and then waaaait for the dough the rise, then turn it into the desired shape, and then wait agaaaain for it to rise. Oh and did I mention baking AND cooling time ? Yeah, can’t be bothered. That’s when the Irish came to save our lives. No, not with green beer, but with soda bread. In a few days, make sure to thank St.Patrick for soda bread. Amen. Cause well, ain’t nobody got the time to wait. Yes yes, you can make bread using baking soda. Don’t believe me ? Try it…
Gofundme campaign and startup
Ok. I did it. I launched a gofundme campaign. I finally took the first step towards making my dream a reality. I wish I could say I could bake before I could crawl, but that won’t be true (but oh so cool). As you all know, baking in my passion. It relaxes me and nothing is more fun than twisting my favorite recipes or trying healthier versions. As a student I’m always on the go, and found that most snacks available on the market are either too expensive or simply unhealthy and highly processed. I see to change that, through SimpleBakes: by bringing daily, vegan, homemade, affordable, snacks to the…
Iced sugar moon biscuits
I used to looooove moon shaped biscuits, dipped in icing sugar, when I was a kid. My aunt would regularly make them and I would eat 5 of them at once. Yep,that was just how much I loved them. I made a slightly modified version the other day, and I really hope you like it 🙂 Ingredients 3/4 cup flour // 1/3 cup sugar // 2.5 tbsp margarine // 2 tbsp egg white // // 1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla sugar // one cup of icing sugar, to coat the biscuits Instructions Mix everything together in a bowl // when you get a consistent dough, shape the biscuits in…
Seedful Cookies
Guys. I swear, moments of improvisation are the best. Take this. I literally grabbed a bowl and threw a bunch of ingredients together. Obviously using cups, otherwise I’m left with recipes I just cannot recreate. Yay! Not cool. Anyways, this is a recipe you gotta try. Oh and it’s easily veganized, using maple syrup instead of honey. Or even agave syrup or golden syrup. Or just adding sugar and bypassing the whole honey/syrup thing. Flexibility. I love that word. Look at this. And this. Enough pictures though, here’s the recipe, hope you like it 🙂: Ingredients (for 2 large, thick cookies or 4 medium ones) 2/3 cup rolled oats…
Black&White cookies
Merry Christmas! Christmas is the time for cookies, right ? Then you might want to try these. I love chocolate and I love vanilla, and love it absolutely more when they mix together. Ingredients 0.5 cup of all purpose flour // 0.5 cup of oat flour (if you don’t have it, just process regular oats in a blender or food processor until you get flour) // 0.5 tsp of baking powder // 1 tbsp of sugar // 2 tsp of cacao powder // 0.5 tsp of maple syrup // 1.5 tbsp of vegan butter // some soy milk (~1/4- 1/3 cup) (preferably unsweetened) For the icing chocolate: 3 tsp of…
Vegan Cornmeal Cake
When I was a small kid, I used to ate from time to time a very delicious cake my parents would buy from the bakery. I never knew its ingredients, so more than a decade later, all my attempts to find the recipe were unauccessful. My parents were equally helpless. I organized a late Thanksgiving lunch with some friends a week ago, and I obviously made cornmeal muffins. The first bite was special – I had finally found what I was looking for! The cake I used to eat as a kid had cornmeal in it. I tried different recipes using cornmeal over the last week, but this gotta be…
Vegan cornmeal pancakes
I love pancakes. Who doesn’t like nice fluffy american pancakes, dripped with maple syrup ? I am also always up for a twist. I had cornmeal left from Thanksgiving, so I gave these cornmeal pancakes a try 🙂 They’re also vegan, making them suitable for people with lactose intolerance or egg allergy. There you go: Ingredients 1 cup of soy milk // 0.5 cup of flour // 0.5 cup of cornmeal // 1 tsp of baking powder // 2tsp of sugar // 1.5 tsp of margarine Chocolate Sauce 1 tsp of cocoa powder // 1 tsp of icing sugar // 2tsp of water
Peanut butter donuts
Okay, I gotta admit I have never been obsessed by donuts. Like, I’ll gladly have the odd one here and there but I’ll take a bagel over a donut everyday 😉🙊. My mom….we’ll it’s another story! When she’s in London she has to get her Krispy Kreme donut. I saw this donut pan the other day and it was in sale, so i was like why not ? I could make my own oven baked version and impress my mommy when she visits. I had to add peanut butter, of course. Peanut butter makes everything better. Don’t disagree 😁 Ingredients 1 cup of flour // 1 tsp of baking powder…
Spiced cake
I love it when I try a recipe for the first time and it works. Like super well. Well, I was procrastibaking the other day and decided baking a cake but with spices would be appropriate. Finished it yesterday. I wish I could lick the screen. Looking gorgeous. Here’s the recipe! Ingredients (serves 10) 3/4 cup of white flour // 3/4 tsp of baking powder // 1/4 cup of sugar // 1 tsp of honey // 1.5 tsp f all spices // 1/3 cup of raisins // 2 egg whites // 1/4 cup of spiced tea (Got mine from David’s Tea) Instructions Preheat the oven (180 C or 375 F)…
