Granola Energy Bars

Image
We are going to talk “ENERGY BARS” this time. As a student, that has some pretty busy days, I’ve found making something dense in calories to keep you going for a couple of hours, while being healthy as well, is the way to go. Energy bars usually consist of 4 important parts: the fibre+ carbs, the sweetener, the fats and the flavor we want to end up with. Depending on this formula, you can say that energy bars/ balls are very versatile. I’ve posted some versions before on my instagram @eatwithsteff , but today we’re going through another easy combo. Main ingredients: 1 1/2 cups of homemade cinnamon granola   3 tbsp of peanut butter  22 dates (about 1 cup) Optional ingredients to spice it up: [vegan or not] white chocolate (about 70 grams) freeze dried raspberries (just a couple of them) Preparation: 1.You start by soaking the dates in water at least 4 hours. I let them soak overnight. 2.Blend the dates, then add the peanut butter and blend again. ...

Winter Truffles

Image
The winter special recipe for 2019 is finally  here and with this post I’d like to send as much love as possible to every single one of you. It’s not something too fancy or with a longer list of ingredients than the Santa’s, but the reason it’s earned the “winter special” label are the wintery ingredients it has. When I think of winter, many festive dishes come to my mind, but a couple simple things still stand out and those are: chestnuts, wine or any kind of liqueur, berries, chocolate & cookies. So I thought of some wintery truffles you can make with all of them. I tried many variations till I found the perfect combo. This is why it has taken me more than one month to finally love the recipe and to see it as share-worthy. Whether you make it for Christmas or New Year’s Eve or even as a gift for whatever occasion this cold season, you choose, it will be the easiest treat you’ve ever made and I’m sure it will become one of your favorites too. Ingredients: 2...

Healthy breakfast muffins

Image
For some school has already started, for others starts in a bit. Whenever school or uni starts, all students find it easier to just skip breakfast, lunch and even dinner sometimes and not eat anything throughout the day just because they‘re busier. However, having something before midday, especially when having to follow the long lectures, is very important. I always cover up recipes that you can take to school/uni suitable for breakfast, lunch and snack time. Here is one simple and easy recipe, that you can prepare on weekends and have it during the week. Something that stays between an oatmeal bite and a muffin with a healthier twist, oat based and vegan. I present to you my breakfast muffins.. Ingredients: 1 banana 1 small apple 1 medium zucchini or about 2 cups of shredded zucchini 2/3 cup of all purpose flour 2/3 cup of oat flour (homemade) 1 cup of oats 1 cup of oat milk  1/4 cup of brown sugar 2 tbsp of cacao powder 1 tsp of baking powder  1 tsp of...

Vegan fudgy brownies with mango ice cream

Image
It’s me! Again!  ️ I’m revealing my secret valentine’s day recipe tonight as I promised on my last post. So as I was thinking what recipes I should do for Valentine’s Day and I already had found one ( tiramisu truffles ) I realized that it was not suitable for everyone. So this next recipe had to be gluten free, dairy free and VEGAN . That’s why I chose to make the most decadent brownies & the easiest mango ice cream that you can make.  Ingredients:  For the brownies: 1 can of black beans  4 tbsp of oat flour 1 tbsp of peanut butter 2 tbsp of sunflower seed oil  1 tsp of baking soda 100 gr of sugar  70 gr of cocoa powder  100 gr of thinly chopped dark chocolate (non dairy)  For the mango ice cream:  1 ripe mango  1/2 cup of mango compote ( or you replace it with peach compote ) 1/2 banana 1 tbsp of coconut oil  2 tbsp of coconut milk   Preparation:  For the mango ice cream [ I...

Chocolate covered tiramisu LOVE BITES

Image
I was laying on my bed last night and all of a sudden I remembered that this week is the “ Valentine’s Day ️  ” so I had to do some kind of Valentine Treat. It was a bit difficult to think the perfect recipes right away, but an ingredient was definitely going to be CHOCOLATE. As a chocolate lover (in my head) love is equal to chocolate or the other way around.  So I came up with two ideas, but for now one of them will remain a secret. Today I prepared my CHOCOLATE COVERED TIRAMISU LOVE BITES. These are the perfect treat and a perfect gift (if you haven’t figured it out till now ), yet so easy to prepare.  Ingredients:  1.5 cups mascarpone cheese  3 cups of roughly crumbled biscuits  3 tbsp of amaro liqueur  2 tbsp of almond milk  2 tbsp of cocoa powder  3-4 tbsp of powdered sugar (taste to adjust it to your likings)  1/2 tsp of vanilla extract  For the chocolate cover:  200 gr of chocolate  2 tb...
