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! ;)
It seems that banana bread is a trending topic right now. My recipe for banana bread with walnuts turned into one of my most clicked recipes on the blog in the last several weeks ;) Even news outlets start talking about banana bread now. Crazy. It became a trending lockdown topic. Well… banana bread has always been a favorite in our home and is made on a regular basis – not only because everybody else does it right now. A loaf of good old banana bread is simply delicious and almost always easy to prepare. Same for this (gluten-free) Coconut Banana Bread here (even if attributes like gluten-free, flourless, and sugar-free might suggest a more complicated recipe… that’s not the case).
Happy Cookie Friday! I hope you all are well and you don’t have gone completely mad yet with the global situation ;) Today I got another delicious cookie recipe that works without flour – I still get many requests for recipes like that since the flour and toilet paper crisis started. You don’t even have to bake these (Sugar-free) Bo-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies – no flour, no oven… could it be easier?! ;)
Easter is over – let’s get back to business ;) I hope you had a good time and you could spend some nice days with your family or friends – of course, only within the allowed limits and restrictions. Don’t forget those 6 feet distance at the dinner table ;) Easter was very quiet for us this year, but I was able to bake a few things… which none of them will end up on this blog here ;) This delicious (Keto) Lemon Poppy Seed Bundt Cake here was made some time before Easter and did not survive until the weekend. Well… in case you still have problems organizing flour, you can try this cake here. No flour needed – almonds are used as a substitute here.
Today will be an easy Cookie Friday! Not much to do actually. No baking needed. These cookies are much less work than other cookies you find here on the blog… even though cookies are normally not that much work anyway ;) Well… these No-Bake Amaranth Chocolate Cookies are a quick fix if you are craving for something sweet. 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 ;)
