Classic Fluffy Bagels
Ah Bagels. God’s gift to man. One of the best inventions of all times. Now I used to live in the UK, where bagels with salmon and cream cheese are an institution (and I do miss them a lot). Montreal bagels are also delicious, albeit different. Basically, british bagels are fluffier and Montreal bagels are “harder” and poached in honey water, to give them a sweet flavor. I wanted to try and make my own bagels the other day, and after having looked at various recipes online, I came with my own recipe, light and vegan 🙂 Talking with different people, I always get ‘baking is hard’ – it isn’t,…
Chocolate cupcakes topped with peanut butter
I’m a big fan of chocolate. And peanut butter, even though I have to eat it with caution and in moderation to avoid allergic outbursts (I am allergic to nuts in general). Well, the other day I decided to mix both of them together 🙂 What is good is that there is no butter or oil at all. Also, I only put an egg white instead of a whole egg. The recipe serves 6. Ingredients 3/4 cup of flour – 1 tsp of baking powder – 40g of sugar – 1 tsp of honey – 1 tbsp of cocoa powder – 1 tsp of coffee powder – 1/3 cup of…
Since I moved to Canada, I’ve been so obsessed with fall, and doing all the activities related to it. It’s probably because I have always lived in countries where the fall season is not that obvious. I am still amazed at the beautiful orange/red/yellow shades of leaves. To celebrate fall and pumpkins, I prepared these cupcakes the other day. Look at this cute little tower (NB: they may or may not have fell after I took this picture). Here is the recipe 🙂 Ingredients 1/2 cup of wholewheat flour // 1/4 cup of white flour // 1tsp of baking powder // 40g of brown sugar // 2 egg whites…
Classic iced cake
Classics never go out of fashion, right! I made this yummy cake the other day and I’m in love 🙂 I don’t really have a sweet tooth, thank God for that, but I do appreciate a moist cake from time to time. However, the sugar overload is sometimes ridiculous! Especially as it is absolutely not necessary. The secret is so put egg whites instead of whole eggs. That’s less fat, and the taste is absolutely the same, believe me! But well, enough talking, let’s talk about the real superstar here. Gorgeous. I mean, come on! Okay. I need to stop the foodporn now. Let’s dooo this Ingredients For the cake:…
Healthy Banana Bread
First of all, happy belated Thangsgiving my canadian friends! No Turkey for me this year. Just enjoyed the sunshine while I can 🙂 Anyway, any month is bananas month. Who else agrees ? If you now me, you probably now I’m obssessed with bananas. And banana bread. However, that’s a fact: I only need to look at cake to put on weight and so, I need to keep it as a treat. I’ve been looking for ages for a healthy recipe so I can indulge in my guilty pleasure more often. I have been looking at various recipes and finally tried this version. Believe me, it was absolutely delicious 😋…
Healthy Banana Bread
Banana bread is definitely one of my favorite desserts. I  can eat a whole load by myself, and I’m not even lying. Yes, that’s full of sugar but…it’s quite the point, right ? Anyway, I had some bananas and I love to experiment, so I attempted to recreate the banana bread but with a healthy twist. It may taste a bit different than the usual, sugar and butter loaded banana free, but it is equally as good. I had different seeds at home and some raisins so I just threw everything in, to get an overload of vitamins and yumminess 🙂 Anyways, here is the recipe for y’all! Healthy Banana…
Healthy Carrot Cake
Ok. Maybe it’s just the effect of intense revisions and deadlines. But my energy has been on a roller coaster lately. Blame having meals at odd hours and weird sleeping patterns. Anyway, decided to bake a delicous carrot cake full of nutrients to help me cope with that. Because come on let’s admit it, all foods are waaaay sexier when they come in the shape of cakes :’). What I loved about this cake is, even though the texture is not totally like the one of a “regular cake” – cause hey less sugar, it is still enjoyable. Ingredients 110 g of regular flour 3/4 tsp of baking powder 160g…
