    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 🙂 […

    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…

    The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

    If there is one recipe every baking enthusiast needs, it’s a good ol’ chocolate chip recipe. Easy and fast to make, gooey, and perfect for any occasion (or non-occasion). I have been hooked on chocolate chip cookies forever. I don’t usually dip mine in milk, though! A few comments about chocolate chips: Sugar White sugar and brown sugar do not exactly behave the same, and playing with ratios will give you different textures. Brown sugar contains molasses, which will make your cookie softer. As a general rule I like to go with a ratio of brown sugar: white sugar of 2:1 Can I substitute coconut sugar for brown sugar? Yes…

    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! Gooey, chocolaty brownies with melting chocolate chunks1

    Beefless Ground Dish

    Even though I’m not a vegan, I love to eat plant based proteins and I try to have a varied diet as much as possible 😊 Beefless ground is one of my favorite substitutes, so full of flavor, filling, and it mixes well with pretty much everything!

Ingredients: – 3 medium carrots – 2 1/4 cup soy protein – 1 medium white onion – 1 1/2 cup garden leas – 1 tbsp of vegetable oil – 6 tbsp + 1/4 cup of water – 1 tbsp tomato paste –…

    Healthy, 4-ingredients Buckwheat Crepes

    One of my favorite desserts is large crepes filled with lots of Nutella. Unfortunately this is not something you can eat everyday for breakfast, however, this super healthy buckwheat crepes recipe will finally make having crepes for breakfast acceptable. Toppings include jam (apricot jam is my favorite!), a little bit of Nutella or peanut butter. Oh and, the best part is that you only need 4 ingredients! Ingredients: – 1/2 cup buckwheat flour – 1 tsp cocounut sugar – 2 beaten eggs – 3/4 cup milk of choice (I used unsweetened almond-coconut milk) Instructions: – In a large bowl, mix the the eggs with the coconut sugar – Add 1/4…
