    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 🙂 […

    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…

    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…

    How to make the Perfect Buttercream Recipe (In less than 20 min!)

    American buttercream is definitely the most popular icing recipe out there. Eady to make, requires not special skill or equipment, and have I talked about the creaminess ? I get satisfaction whenever I get the optimal, creamy buttercream texture, ready to be placed on cakes or cupcakes. Let’s dive in straight into the recipe, shall we? What do I need ? The buttercream ingredients themselves are minimal: butter, icing sugar, vanilla extract, and milk.   What’s the best icing sugar to butter ratio? I have found that a 4:1 ratio is a bit too sweet, so I usually do between that and 3:1. As a beginner, a ratio of 3:1…

    The Best Banana Bread Recipe

    If you follow my instagram, you probably know how much I love bananas, and banana bread. It’s most definitely in my top 3 favorite desserts. I have made many banana bread variations among the years. My first attempts ended up too “banany” (if that’s even a word!) or too dense, and not enough fluffy. I made this cake yesterday evening, and I absolutely fell in love with the texture of it. Banana bread is super easy to make, and you probably already have all you need at home. I always keep some bananas with me at home, some frozen to quickly threw into a smoothie or to make banana “ice…

    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…

    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.
