Summer Fruity Porridge
I absolutely love berries. Especially when they’re frozen! I’ve never been a big fan of sweets, thank goodness, so frozen berries are a good compromise, especially during hot spring and summer days. So I tend to put frozen berries on top of as many dishes as I can, porridge included I made this porridge a while ago and thought I might share it with you 🙂 Let me know what you think in the comments below! Ingredients 3/4 cup of rolled oats // 300 ml of almond milk // 1.5 tsp of honey or maple syrup // 1 tsp of chia seeds // 1/3 cup of peach slices //…
Veggie Summer Springrolls
I can’t believe we’re already halfway through Ramadan, woohoo! Anyway, I am still at home meaning still on full mode turtle. Mornings starting at 3pm, like aaaahhh! So good to be back home. I don’t even wanna go back to London ever again. Actually, I do a little bit. See, I’ve bought this book with the 100 best cafés in London. I spent like 4 years there and just realized there are plenty of amazing cafés I haven’t been to yet. Now the thing is Ramadan ends on the 5th of july, meaning it’s gonna be a real marathon to try and check out all these amazing places. No worries,…
Sugar-free, Vegan Blueberries and Apple Pie
I once said I don’t have a sweet tooth. Which is true. But I also love to experiment in the kitchen, and see what I can come up with. I used some blueberries the other day to make a sorbet, and I was left with half of the bag. I then saw a picture of this blueberries pie somewhere on the internet, and I was inspired to do prepare a pie 🙂 So there you go, gonna share the goodness with you!  Ingredients  For the crust: 1 cup rice flour // 2/3 cups self-raising flour // 4 tbsp of coconut oil // 1/4-1/2 cup of water, to bind the dough  For…
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…
Chickpea, Leek and Onion Fry Up with Hummus
My mom is a wonderful cook, and to this day I still believe no one compared to her. When I was a kid, she was never satisfied nor did she enjoy the food she cooked. I never really understood until I entered into the cooking and baking world myself. Sometimes I feel like, when you make something yourself, no matter how delicious it is, it is never the same as eating something someone else made for you. This week I am eating vegetarian food only, which is really good as not only I love veggies but I also get to play with different kinds of food to create balanced recipes.…
Plain Waffles
My mom is a huuuuge waffle fan (especially mine haha :’)). So I absolutely love to prepare some for her every time I get back home in Morocco. The only problem is I often change the recipe, which my mom hates cause I then forget it 🙂 Anyway, I’m sitting down and recording this one, so it’s not forgotten. It’s a basic, plain recipe, but obviously you can add vanilla, orange extract, or use another type of flour. Just make sure you let me know in the comments below how did you find it! Ingredients 1 medium egg 1 cup of regular flour 1 tsp of baking powder 1 sachet of…
Pan Apple Fondant
I love to experiment in the kitchen and my brother loves apples, so I wanted to try a quick recipe involving apples 🙂 I baked it in the pan, and I gotta say I am quite impressed with how delicious it was, given the minimum amount of sugar. Ingredients 120g of all-purpose flour 60g of sugar 1/2 tsp of baking powder 1 sachet of vanilla sugar (about 8g) or 1 tsp of vanilla extract 1 large apple 1/2 medium pear 1/2 tsp of cinnamon 2 medium eggs Optional: some butter or oil, to grease the pan Method Peel and grate the apple and the half pear Mix together the grated…
Layer Black & White Cake
Living alone in London while I go to uni is awesome, ok. Only problem is, I rarely bake really fancy cakes or desserts as I don’t have a lot of people to share them with apart from my wonderful flatmates (whom I consider as sisters btw 💜). Anyway, it was one of my flatmate’s 20th birthday and so I prepared a layer cake. I even cut the cakes in two and didn’t break them. Hallelujah, praise the Lord! Ingredients (brown cake) 120 g of flour 1.5tsp of baking powder 100g of granulated sugar 50g of butter 100g of milk chocolate 1 tbsp of cocoa powder 0.5 tbsp coffee/espresso powder 2…
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…
Protein and Blueberry Oats
Who else loves oats ? So versatile, easy and fast to prepare. And most of all, very nutritious 🙂 I am a HUGE bread lover and have that usually for breakfast, usually with eggs or yogurt, but today I wanted to change and went with oats. I directly toppes the mix with blueberries and added boiling water. Then I mivrowaved everything cause I love when frozen blueberries become soft and juicy 💜. I usually have whey protein powder, but I found soya protein at Whole Foods Market yesterday so I wanted to try it and – gotta say – it taste muuuuch more better than whey protein powder. But that’s…
