Banana pancakes with coyo

Hi sweethearts!

I have got another really delicious recipe for to post today! Since a lot of you asked for my banana pancake recipe I have spent the last week perfecting the recipe so I can finally update this on my blog! So weird, the whole time Ive been working on my blog, I haven't posted a simple banana recipe. Shame on me!

A bit over a week ago it was Eastern and I was lucky enough to celebrate this holiday with my boyfriend in Paris. We had the most wonderful time but this meant we missed out on all the holiday festivities with our family and friends. To make up I made these banana pancakes (pretty festive huh?!). I loved the topping of bananas, blueberries and raspberries. We picked them up on boulevard Raspail the day before. Anyone ever been there? It is seriously the most beautiful organic market I have ever seen! I will post some pics to give you guys an impression!




















Banana-coconut pancakes
Ingredients

2 tbsp coyo (coconut yoghurt)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon

Directions
Mix all the ingredients in your blender or food processor until smooth and bake like for about 2 minutes on each side! Top with your favorite fruits and enjoy with your loved ones!

Homemade Vegan Walnut Brownies

Morning loves!! I hope you've all had the most amazing weekend! We are experiencing the most pleasant weather here in Amsterdam so I have spent my days mostly outside. Still it gets chilly in the evening which for me was the perfect time for some baking. I was thinking about some new treats when it hit me.. I have NEVER made vegan brownies! Which is insane, thinking brownies were my favorite for a long long time - before I turned to a vegan diet.

Brownies can be easily made vegan, payaya, black beans, tofu and sweet potato are known for being an excellent base. I went for sweet potatoes because I returned from the farmers market with 2 big bags (I eat them everyday).

Vegan Walnut Brownies
Ingredients
2 large sweet potatoes
1 very ripe, small banana
1 cup of ground walnuts
1/2 cup of ground almonds
20 dates (soaked overnight)
3/4 cup of almond flour
5 tbsp raw cacao powder (carob powder will do fine too)
4 tbsp agave syrup
pinch of cinnamon

Directions
Start by preheating your oven to 180 degrees celcius. Place your two potatoes into your microwave (3 minutes for every 200 gram on 750 watt) until they are really soft and beginning to fall apart. Peel the skin of your potatoes and add them, together with the banana, dates and the agave syrup, to your food processor. Pulse until you have a smooth and creamy consistency. Add the almond flour and pulse again till its completely absorbed. Add the almonds, walnuts, cacao powder and your cinnamon.

Scoop the mixture into a (lined) baking dish and place into your preheated oven for about 20 minutes until the brownie is dry from the inside (pierce the brownie with a fork). Place the brownie on a baking tray and allow it to cool of for at least 20 minutes.

Enjoy with some homemade almond milk!

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.

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!!!

Blueberry Coconut Icecream

Hi lovelies! I hope you are all doing well and having a wonderful day. 

I have been craving some vegan icecream for a while now. So when I got home from the farmers market last saturday I immediately started experimenting with all the delicious fruits I bought. This blueberry coconut cream is a real winner!! I just can't get enough of it so I have been eating this as breakfast, snack and dessert for the past few days! LOL! Supereasy, Superfilling, SuperYUMMY!

Blueberry Coconut Icecream

What you need

1 cup frozen blueberries

2 frozen bananas

1 cup coconut water

5 tbsp coconut flakes

What to do

Mix all the ingredients together in your foodprocessor or blender and pulse until you have this lovely thick and creamy consistency. Scoop into a little bowl and place in your freezer for 10 minutes. This gives you the time to prepare the topping. Think; berries, goji, chia, buckwheat, coconut flakes, hemp, mulberries & cacao nibs.

After 10 minutes take out your icecream and top with all the goodies.

Enjoy!

Delicious vegan raw cacao & quinoa bites

Hi sweets! 

With Christmas just around the corner I was in search for some vegan and or raw treats. I love this holiday but I am not one to just drop my healthy habits so when I tasted these quinoa bites I was in heaven! These are so good, crunchy because of the puffed quinoa yet soft because of the raw cacao. I store them in my fridge now so when I am craving something sweet I always have something to satisfy my sweet tooth.
The first pic is from the bites the second is a pic where I use them as a topping on my banana icecream (Yes! They are also amazing together with other flavors)

Delicious vegan cacao-quinoa bites

What you need

3 tbsp raw cacao/carob

4 tbsp agave syrup

1/4 cup non dairy butter 

2 cups puffed quinoa 

What to do

Melt your butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once totally melted you can add your cacao or carob and the agave syrup. Stir until you have a smooth mixture. Add the puffed quinoa to the cacao sauce and whisk until all the quinoa is covered. Take a spoon, scoop out even amounts and place the mixture on a plate. Store in your fridge for at least 2 hours.

ENJOY!

Love,
