It’s been a long long time since I’ve posted any new recipes. Not that I think that anyone is following me at this moment. But for those who wonder why, I’ve moved into a new house and with that house, an awesome new kitchen. These easy apple muffins are the first things I baked in my brand new oven.

With the exception of baking I’m pretty much a freestyler in the kitchen. I just check my fridge and pantry and whip something up with whatever I got. This goes for dinner, my pancakes in the morning and smoothies as well. Writing down a recipe for a smoothie feels a bit odd to me. But it’s good to have some… Read more →

Here we’re going to dive a little bit into the superfood madness. Because yes, maca and chia seeds are considered superfood by most. I tried most of the superfoods out there – like wheatgrass, goji berries, bee pollen, hemp seed and spriulina – with varied results.

These plums are so ripe, sweet and juicy right now. Prefect. But what’s a girl gotta do with so many plums – right…make some… Read more →
These dreamy matcha bites have three layers of goodness. A crunchy base, creamy matcha filling and matcha chocolate on top. It can be made raw and vegan, but I prefer the sunflower seeds, oats and shredded coconut toasted. And by using honey the chocolate on top will be a nice bright green. Of course you can make them raw and vegan… Read more →
If coconut is your thing, make this cake! This cake has coconut written all over it. It has coconut flour, coconut cream and coconut milk! And to finish things off you could opt for coconut sugar too – but I prefer maple syrup.

My husband asked me if I could make him a snack to bring along to work. He normally doesn’t want to bring any of my cakes, because he doesn’t want to share hahaha. But these blueberry muffins are easy to bring and easy to share. The keep well and are nice and moist for several days – if you can… Read more →
If you’re looking for an easy and tasty gluten free cake, look no further. This coconut cake is really easy to make and has only 9 ingredients – that’s including the chocolate glaze. (9 ingredients is not a lot in baking terms.) It’s also nice non chocolate glazed, but I think a little extra chocolate can do no harm. And you… Read more →
