* orange, carrot cakes *

 
























 Good morning! 

We are on our second snow day in South Carolina, and I finally had time to make some 
delicious snacks again. 

My mom made these in Hungary, sent me the recipe and the next day my sister and I 
both made it :) 
It has no flour, no refined sugar in it, but the carrots and the fresh orange juice 
make it perfectly sweet for a little afternoon snack. 

* Orange, carrot cakes * 

* 10 dkg coconut oil 

* 2 eggs

* 2 yolks

* 20 dkg almond meal 

* the zest of one orange 

* the juice of half of an orange 

* 1 medium carrot ( grated ) 

* 5 tsp maple syrup 


1. Melt you coconut oil and mix it with the eggs and the yolk, 

preheat you oven to 350 degrees ( 180 Celsius ) 

2. Add the rest of the ingredients to the coconut oil mixture. 

3. Grease your baking sheet ( i used my smallest, square one ) with some coconut oil 
and pour your cake mixture in it. 

4. Bake it for 35 minutes. 

Enjoy! 

Have a wonderful week!

Good morning Friends! 

I've been sick for over 4 days... Thank goodness we had a 4 day weekend  
(so I could relax all day ) and for my ginger+lemon+honey tea . 

I feel so much better now and I was so excited to hare this amazing recipe with you! 
Yaaaayyy for healthy snacks! 

* energy bites *



* 2 cups almond meal

* 2 cups dried dates 

* 2 bananas 

* 1/2 cup ground flex seed

* 3 tbsp chia seeds 

Place your dates in your food processor for a few minutes( I had to do it twice :) )
then gradually add all the other ingredients.

After a few minutes the mixture will be smooth and sticky, so you can start 
rolling your balls. 

I used a tablespoon to scoop up a batch of dough, then roll them into little balls 
with your hands.

You can roll them in some chia seeds, coconut flakes or whatever you'd prefer :).

Place them in the freezer for 2 hours to set, then keep them in the fridge. 

This recipe makes about 30 balls.

Have a wonderful week! Don't forget to enjoy the little things!

1/4 cup sunflower seeds

1/4 cup flex seeds

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 

1/2 teaspoon fine-grain Himalayan salt 

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

 with coconut oil.

2. Blend your oats in a high speed blender until a fine flour forms. 

3. Combine everything in a large bowl. 

4. Stir in a cup water until combined. 

5. Pour your mixture into the pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. 

You can sprinkle the surface with some additional salt.

Let the bread cool for 5 minutes and then transfer it to a cooling sheet for 10 minutes. 

Slice it as you like and enjoy your super-power chia bread!

mother nature's apple crumble by ohsheglows 

Good morning Friends!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend!

I have been enjoying this amazing recipe for a while, and I thought it was time to share it with you.

I am obsessed with my Oh She Glows Cookbook, and of course I found this apple crumble recipe in it.
It is amazing as breakfast, snack or dessert, but make sure you heat  it up before you eat it! It tastes so much better when it's warm and it smells wonderful too. 

For the filling : 

* 6 to 7 cups peeled and chopped apples ( 6 to 7 apples )

* 1/3 cup Sucanat sugar or other granulated sugar ( I used honey! )
 * 1 tablespoon chia seeds 

* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

* 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 

For the topping :

* 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats 

* 1 cup thinly sliced almonds 

* 1/3 cup almond flour or almond meal 

* 1/4 cup pure maple syrup 

* 1/4 cup melted coconut oil 

* 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut 

* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 

* 1/4 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt 



1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees ( 190 degrees), grease an 11 by 9-inch baking dish ( use coconut oil).

2. Make the apple filling. Mix the ingredients well. Poor the apple mixture into your  prepared dish.

3. Mix the topping together. 

4. Sprinkle the oat mixture all over your apples. 

5. Cover the dish with foil and poke a couple of wholes in the foil. Bake it for 35-40 minutes, then uncover the dish and bake it an additional 10-15 minutes. 

Enjoy! 

This is my favorite treat and I am about to try it with blueberries and pears :) 

Have a wonderful week!

Banana bread 

Good morning Friends! 

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend. Ours was pretty busy so I am typing this 
pretty late :), but I wanted you to have this amazing recipe. 

Here is my second deliciousness for fall. I found this one on Pinterest too, and I had 
to give it a go.
Banana bread recipe  
( with coconut flour + no sugar) 

 

So this was my very first banana bread and it turned out very good. I would 
say though it's a little bit thick, so I tried to eat it with some juicy figs or 
just grab a handful of berries and heat them up on your stove, add a little bit of 
water, maybe some cinnamon and   ta-da, you got the most amazing topping for your 
healthy banana bread. 


Let me know what's your favorite fall recipe!

Have a wonderful week!

Be yourself, be happy, be creative,
