The “12 Days of Christmas Cookies” continues – who would have thought of that seeing these Classic Christmas Hazelnut Macaroons, right? ;) One of my favorite Christmas cookie bakes because I looooove me some hazelnuts. They should be on every baking list for Christmas… right next to Vanilla Crescents and Cinnamon Stars. Just saying ;)
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! ;)
Today I got cake for everyone! You probably have seen me writing this sentence here before… with all the things I have baked here for the blog the last several years, I could probably have invited a whole village one afternoon for coffee and cake already. Well… cake for everyone! Yay! ;) I wanted to keep it simple today so I made an easy loaf cake. A delicious Sour Cream Hazelnut Chocolate Loaf Cake. Super juicy and chocolaty! A crowd-pleaser ;)
It is Cookie Friday! Well and also “Bake Together”. This probably means these Vegan Spelt Flakes Cookies are twice as good, right?! Well… they are definitely delicious and if we ignore the sugar that is in those cookies we could say they are also healthy…. at least a bit ;)
It’s time for another German Classic – if you never heard of it you missed out on something delicious: a Frankfurt Crown Cake aka. Frankfurter Kranz. This popular cake can be found in bakeries all over Germany – not only in Frankfurt as the name might let you think. The cake dates back to the 18th century when the German Emperor was crowned in Frankfurt. A cake with some history ;)
If you like crunchy cookies with a bit of caramel, chocolate, and nuts you should try these Crunchy Toffifee Cornflakes Cookies! So good! Even though you should wait until they are cooled down a bit – I always try one that is still a bit warm and that’s divine! Unfortunately, that often leads to more snacking and “trying how they taste” and reduces the number of cookies that make it to the cookie box drastically… well :P
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 ;)
