Sunday Morning Lemon Waffles

Sweethearts! I hope you've all had the most amazing weekend! I spent mine with my family, normally I have got so many things to do on Saturday and Sunday. But since life is a bit hectic lately I decided to take some me time and relax with my mum's family. Because you can't come empty handed I made some vegan waffles and brought some fresh fruits from the farmers market for the topping!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vegan, lemon waffles with a tropical topping.

Ingredients

3/4 cup (unsweetened) almond milk

1 tsp apple cider vinegar

2 tbsp melted coconut oil

3/4 cup brown rice flour

1/4 cup almond meal

1/4 cup potato starch

juice of 1 small lemon

2 flax eggs

1 tsp baking powder

1 tbsp agave nectar

 

Directions

Start by preheating your waffle iron to desired level of heat.

In a big bowl, combine the almond milk together with the vinegar and set aside for a few minutes.

Add the coconut oil, lemon juice, flax eggs, agave nectar and whisk. Again set aside 5 minutes.

Mix all the dry ingredients and mix with all the wet ingredients.

Cook according to the manufacturer instructions. Once baked, place on a baking rack in a 180 degree oven so they stay warm until served!

 

Enjoy!

Chocolate Muffins

Morning loves! Hope you all have had an amazing weekend! I know I did because I finally had time to do some baking.. expect some lovely recipes this week! I have been meaning to make some muffins for quite some time. Ever since I visisted Antwerp and had some delicious vegan muffins at this little pastry shop. So this weekend I finally bought a muffin tin and made these delicious and healthy chocolate muffins.They are literally bursting with flavor, perfectly sweet and moist, and have wholesome ingredients like flaxseed, banana, cacao and dates.

Chocolate Muffins
What you need
1 cup buckwheat flour (almond and spelt flour will work too)
1 cup potato starch
3 large ripe bananas
1 cup medjool dates
3/4 cup raw cacao powder
1/2 cup plant based milk (I used almond milk)
2 tbsp baking powder

Directions
Preheat your oven to 395 degrees. In your food processor, blend the bananas, dates and your milk until you have a smooth consistency. In a large bowl, add all the dry ingredients and mix together. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients and stir. If the batter is still a bit dry you can add a bit more milk.

Scoop the batter into your muffin tin, top with goodies you like (I went for cacao nibs and puffed quinoa), and place into your preheated oven for about 20 minutes until they have a golden crust and aren't moist on the inside. Let the muffins cool for 10 minutes on a cooling rack before serving.

Enjoy!!!

Love,
Sanne

Pink Loving

Hi sweethearts! With Valentines day just around the corner, all my free time goes to coming up with cute and of course delicious pink & red treats to surprise my love with! Yesterday I made
this 3 layered Love smoothie and I think it is truly a winner.. not only do they look supercute but they taste devine! Definitely something to surprise your better half with. I would serve these as either a lunch or as a dessert. Since they are quite filling I could recommend using the 1 serving ingredients for 2 smoothies especially when serving this after dinner.

Pink Loving Smoothie (1 serving)
What you need
Bottom Layer
2 frozen bananas
1 handful of frozen raspberries
1/2 cup of almond milk
Middle
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 heaping tbsp of carob powder
1/2 cup of water
Top Layer
2 frozen bananas
1 handful of frozen blueberries
1/2 cup of almond milk

What to do
Night before serving. Combine the chia seeds with your water in a pint jar. Cover the jar with a lid and give it a shake. Open the jar and add the 3 tbsp of carob powder and swirl until the chia seeds are covered. Cover again and place the mixture in your fridge overnight.

In your blender mix the ingredients of the bottom layer together until you have a nice and thick consistancy.
Pour into your most beautiful glass.
Top the first layer with 2 big tbsp of the chocolate chia pudding.
In your blender mix the ingredients of the top layer together until you have a nice and thick consistancy.
Pour this over the chocolate chia pudding and garnish your smoothie with fruits you love.. I went for pomseeds!

ENJOY!
