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!
 
Love,
Sanne

Sweetest, darkest, strawberry-chocolate cake EVER!


When people think of preparing vegan recipes, most of them assume a few things: It's going to be difficult buying substitutes for animal products, it's going to be time-consuming to prepare, and it won't be very satisfying to eat. With my birthday coming up real quick I want to take away a lot of these misconceptions about vegan food. Starting with this mindblowing chocolate cake.  I love the challenge of adapting recipes for people's favorite foods so when my friends and family told me they all loved chocolate cake (who doesn’t?) I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to surprise them all with this sweetest, darkest strawberry-chocolate cake ever!!

1 1/4 cups speltflour
1 cup coconut flower sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup coconut oil
1 cup warm water
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
Handful of strawberries
Handful of chopped walnuts
2 tbsp lemon juice

Directions
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. In your foodprocessor, mix together the speltflour, the coconut flower sugar and the baking soda. When blended together, add the water, vanilla, coconut oil and the apple cider and pulse again until you have a smooth consistency.
Add the berries together with the lemon juice into a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until the fruit softens and begins to break downs. Remove from the heat.
Pour the cacaomixture into a baking tin and blend in the strawberry jam as well as the chopped walnuts.
Place into your oven for 30 minutes, until your knife comes out clean.
Let the cake cool off completely (approx. 2 hours) before serving.
ENJOY loves!!
