The closer we get to Easter the less you can avoid chocolate Easter bunnies and chocolate Easter eggs in the stores. They are basically everywhere. As you might know – I am trying to avoid sugar wherever I can, so sweets with chocolate are not always the best option ;) Luckily, you can make some nice Easter sweets/snacks easily at home. These Easter Egg Energy Balls, for example. They are made without any white sugar (also vegan) and really delicious!
Happy Cookie Friday and (also) Happy Chinese New Year! Both happen on the same day this year. To honor both events I made some Chinese Almond Cookies today. They are not only delicious – these cookies are supposed to bring you luck. That’s what they say. I hope that’s true… after 2020 aka. “The year of the rat”, some luck would be nice for 2021 ;)
Today is World Diabetes Day – I guess serving you a sugar-free and low-carb cake today makes sense, right? ;) All out there that need to cut back on sugar or just want to reduce their sugar intake a bit, this delicious Apple Cake is the cake to make. Who needs that white devilish stuff if you can enjoy sweet stuff without it? ;P
Are you also sometimes too lazy to get bread for breakfast from the bakery in the morning? I always have to take the dog out on a walk in the morning, so I can always stop by the bakery, but I would prefer to stay in bed, actually ;) If you’re smart, you can avoid the early walk to a bakery or supermarket and prepare your breakfast – like these Chia Puddings – in advance so you don’t have to leave the house in the morning… It’s pretty easy actually. Meal prep is the “magic word” here.
Next Saturday, on November 14th, is World Diabetes Day – to draw some attention to this special day I decided to dedicate this week to sugar-reduced and sugar-free recipes. Recipes that are suitable for diabetics, but also good for everyone else ;) Some of you may know – I am a diabetic myself and for me, the topic is quite important ;) That’s why I thought I could show what you can do and how easy it is to reduce or omit the sugar in your diet. Today I’ll start with some delicious Carrot Cake Cupcakes – they are sugar-free and also gluten-free. Oh and really yummy! ;)
Happy Cookie Friday! Today’s recipe is an easy one. No baking needed here. These cookies require much less work than other cookies I got here on the blog… even though my cookie recipes are normally not complicated at all ;P Well, these No-Bake Amaranth White Chocolate Cookies are a quick fix for your next craving for sweet stuff. They are also sugar-free… did I mention that already?! Well…now you know! ;)
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
