Happy Cookie Friday! I got a fresh batch of cookies for you once again… like (almost) every Friday for the past 4 or 5 years… I can never remember how many years it’s been already ;) Anyway. It’s a new recipe for some delicious Oatmeal Coconut Cookies – sugar-free, gluten-free, and perfect for snacking all day long. If you wanna grab one, you better be quick! ;)
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?! ;)
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! ;)
The use of regular flour is problematic for some people out there – it’s called gluten intolerance aka. celiac disease. Dealing with this disease can be quite challenging. Some other people choose to cut out carbs (which includes everything made with wheat flour) from their diets. No matter what the reason is in the end – there are many ways bake something without flour. Actually really nice things – that’s why I made a little list with some of my favorite recipes that work without flour.
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 ;)
