Banana Bread Breakfast Muffins
By now you all know my love for bananas and banana bread 🙂 I made this refined-sugar free recipe the other day and it ended up delicious, not too sweet, which is good as I’ve never had too much of a sweet thooth.
Sunflower/Pumkin Granola Bars
Making things from scratch is cheaper, healthier, funnier, and smells better (who doesn’t like the fresh smell of a cake straight out the oven ? 😋). And man, that feeling of accomplishment if what you made ends up delicious. I made these bars yesterday very fast, I improvised and they ended up really good. Hope you’ll like them too! Oh and…these bars are refined sugar free 😊 Sunflower/Pumkin Granola Bars (serves 8) Ingredients 1 1/4 cup oats // 1/4 cup raisins // 1/2 tbsp pumkin seeds // 1/4 cup sunflower seeds // 1/3 cup honey //2 tbsp softened butter Instructions: Mix all the ingredients together // Put in a 20cmx20cm…
Lemon Biscuits
I gotta confess. I baked again on Monday. I had some lemons and been thinking for a while about making something with them. First I thought about a cake or cupcakes but somehow found the idea boring. Also, something you gotta now about me is that my favorite part with making biscuits is using the cookie scoop 🤗. Ingredients 1 cup flour // 1/2 tsp baking powder // 2/3 cup sugar // 1/4 cup softened butter // 2 tsp lemon juice // zest of one medium lemon // 1 medium egg // Instructions Mix flour, baking powder, sugar and softened butter together. You should get a crumpy texture // Add…
Batbout (Moroccan Semolina Pan Bread)
No bread ? No problem. This moroccan semolina bread is called “batbout” and it’s pretty much superman, as you literally cook it in a pan. For 1 medium batbout or 2 small ones: Ingredients: 1/2 cup fine semolina // 1/4 cup all-purpose flour // 1/2 tsp yeast // a pinch of salt // about 1/3 cup of warm water Instructions: In a large bowl, add the flour, semolina, yeast and salt // gradually add the water to form a non-sticky dough // Form a ball and let it rest for about 45 min // When ready, spread the dough circularly until is about 1 cm thick // Grease a pan…
Pie Crust
I love making stuff from scratch. Messy hands are the best hands 🤗. Pie crust dough is super easy to make and customizable whether you want it sweet or not. Here we go: Ingredients 2 cups flour // 3/4 cup softened (not liquified) butter (you can use vegan butter or margarine too) // 1/2 cup water // (optional: for a sweet crust, add 3 tbsp of sugar) Instructions In a large bowl, mix the flour and the softened butter. You should get a lumpy, sand-like texture // Gradually add the water while working the dough. You should get a soft and light dough. If too sticky, add some flour as…
Veggie tart
I wanted to recreate this tart where veggies look like flowers for aaaages. Yesterday I finally sat down and decided to make it. For this one I used carrots and courgette/zucchinis cause it’s easy to get thin slices of them. I also made my own crust, cause it is funnier but any store-crust would do fine as well. I hope you’ll like it just like I did 🙂 Ingredients For the homemade crust ——————– 2 cups flour // 3/4 cup softened (not liquified) butter // 1/2 cup water For the filling ——————– 2 eggs // 1/4-1/3 cup milk (depending on the size of the pie) // 2 tbsp double cream…
Raisins – Speculoos Parfait
Everything involving Speculoos is a good thing. Just pike this yoghurt parfait for example. Sweet, full of goodness (Speculoos are good for the mind right ?) and damn so pretty. This is quite rich, so perfect as a cheat. I actually got this idea while doing my groceries. For foodies, the supermarket aisle is a temple 🙏 Ingredients (serves 1) 2/3 cup greek yoghurt (or yoghurt of choice) (sub for any plant based yoghurt for the vegab version ) // 2 tbsp raisins // 2 Speculoos // 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup for the vegan version Instructions In your cup of choice, put a layer of yoghurt (1/3 cup)…
Chocolate cupcakes
Chocolate is those kind of things most either love or hate, but I’m more of a “middle” kind of girl. I enjoy my chocolate, but can live without it (sorry chocolate addicts). Made these cupcakes the other day with an amaaazing icing which you can find in my previous post. Chocolate cupcakes (makes 8) Look at this. Perfection. Ingredients 1 cup flour // 1/2 cup cocoa powder // 3/4 cup sugar // 1 medium egg and 2 tbsp egg white or 2 small eggs // 1 tsp baking powder // 8g vanilla sugar // freshly brewed coffee (1 cup) // 1/4 cup sunflower oil // a pinch of salt Instructions…
Simple Cookies
Simplicity is best. And cookies are definity the ultimate proof of that. I mean, who doesn’t love melting chocolate chips ? 😍 Well, my flatmate doesn’t but that’s another story. I made these cookies yesterday and they: 1)are easy to make. You probably have all the ingredients already and you can replace the chocolate chips with raisins (even though, your friends might hate you for being tricked it’s chocolate when it’s really raisins) and 2)can be either soft or crunchier, depending on how you like them. But enough talking, let’s get into serious things shall we? Ingredients (makes…
Healthy Tiramisu
Tiramisu is one of my favorite recipes, and also one of my mom’s. It’s also one of the few recipes I have already prepared with my brother, and it is relatively easy to make, since no oven is required. However, the originak recipe calls for lots of mascarpone, eggs and sugar. Hence, it’s quite heavy and…well, not something I would eat everyday 🙂 You know I like to bring twists to original recipes, so I came up with this. Ricotta cheese is one of my favorite. I always get the reduced fat version, which is like 280 calories per cup, and always have to try not to eat the entire…
