Eat with Steff

  Ok, let’s face it. Besides all the other things, quarantine came with some homemade sourdough bread and many banana breads, which compared to the first one, banana bread is way easier and faster to make.  It was around that time, that I wanted some added sweetness to my life to cheer me up and decided to follow up with the „banana bread trend“, except I aimed for some muffins instead. Banana bread chocolate chip muffins to be exact. So much procrastination went into finally getting myself to write this recipe, but now is the perfect time to reintroduce you to muffins in my opinion. Most of you are going back to school, uni or work and to be honest, a muffin and a cup of coffee or tea and maybe some fruit on the side is one of the best „to go“ breakfasts I can think of. Before I get into the recipe, I wanted to say, that I‘ve simplified everything to the point, where you need only a fork, two bowls and an oven to make these muffins. Of course using a whisk, a silicone spatula...

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...

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...

We all know Summer is here now and to be honest these days the weather is trying to boil us. However I have something sweet for all my sweet tooth babies out there, but it’s also a refreshing no-bake recipe. I think you may have guessed what it is by the title by now, but I really love this easy berry cheesecake. I love it, because I tried to add sweetness without adding too much sugar, so it’s also a slightly healthier version. Ingredients: 200 gr petit beurre biscuits  500 gr mascarpone cheese 70 gr butter 7 dates 150 gr blueberry yogurt  120 gr raspberries  2tbsp of powdered sugar  blueberries  Preparation: First we make the crust. Take a food processor or a blender and crush the biscuits into fine biscuit pieces (not too fine, so it still has the texture). Add 4 dates and the melted butter and process them together until evenly combined. Now we have the base done and proceed to flatten it completely in the bottom of the pan we...
