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…
Cocoa Oat Cookies
Sometimes, all you need is a cookie with some milk. Amiright ? So, the other day, while I wad procrastibaking as usual, I decided to make some cookies. And they ended up good! So, here is the recipe!

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)…
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:…
