Lemon Cookies
Quick, easy, zesty and delicious - if you like sweets that can be described with these four words, you will definitely need to try these delicious - and kind of refreshing - Lemon Cookies. It is important to emphasise that you chill the dough before trying to roll them into balls and coating them in… Continue reading Lemon Cookies
Cocoa Banana Oat Bread
I simply call this recipe "Banana Oat Bread on steroids" - slightly modified recipe of my Banana Oat Bread, but equally delicious and satisfying. The difference is obviously the added cocoa powder and plain white flour instead of whole wheat flour. It also has slightly less sugar as I balance it out with the caramelized… Continue reading Cocoa Banana Oat Bread
Almond Matcha Cookies
I went into a Bubble Tea shop few weeks ago for my usual milk tea order, when I noticed some amazing soft pastries filled with gorgeous matcha flavoured cream. I couldn't say no and bought one - and oh my god. It was so delicious. Since then, I kept thinking about the matcha powder I… Continue reading Almond Matcha Cookies
Homemade Jam and Sweet Cottage Cheese Buns

Amazing with a cup of coffee or tea - or why not with a… Continue reading Chocolate Orange Fudge Crinkle Biscuit
Gluten Free Brownie
There is no secret, this is by far my favourite brownie recipe: easy, quick and healthier than traditional brownies. It does not contain additional sugar (except the chocolate chip) and I always use oat flour (blended oats) instead of traditional flour. Done in 45 minutes and perfect with fresh fruit, yoghurt or some peanut butter… Continue reading Gluten Free Brownie
Lemon & Thyme Tart
I always choose something lemon-y when it comes to desserts in restaurants or coffee shops - I love something zesty and a bit of tartness, I find it very refreshing. I was extremely happy to discover this lemon and thyme tart recipe on Szotyi Creations and couldn't wait to try it! So on a Saturday… Continue reading Lemon & Thyme Tart
Healthy Apple & Nut Breakfast Bar
The idea of preparing this delicious and healthy breakfast bar came from Dr Hazel Wallace, aka The Food Medic - a blog that I have been following for over a year now and has been my great help both mentally and physically. Definitely check out Hazel's blog and listen to her podcast, I promise it… Continue reading Healthy Apple & Nut Breakfast Bar
Homemade Applesauce
This post will be very short, I promise...I think you do not even need a recipe to make applesauce at home, but just in case, you can find my version below. I remember while living in Denmark, it was so easy to find delicious ready-made unsweetened applesauce, however, it is not the case here in… Continue reading Homemade Applesauce
