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!!

Spelt-Banana Muffins with Walnuts

Morning sweethearts!
Hope you are all doing wonderful and are ready for a new delicious recipe!
I have been experimenting with cupcakes and muffins lately as my birthday is coming up real quick..
Last week I posted a recipe for these delicious vegan muffins and after some adjustments I came up with a renewed, supereasy version!




















Spelt-Banana muffins with walnuts
What you need
1 cup dairy free milk (I used coconut milk)
14 dates (8 medjool dates)
1 large ripe Banana
1/2 cup Spelt flour
handful Walnuts
1/4 cup Coconut Oil
1tsp baking soda

Directions
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees.
In your food processor, blend the banana with the dates and coconut milk until you have a smooth mixture. Add the Coconut Oil and pulse again. Stir in the 1/2 cup of Spelt Flour, the baking soda and the walnuts. Pulse until everything is combined.
Pour the mixture into your muffin tins and bake in your oven for 25 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.

Love,
Sanne
