Method

Preheat oven to 180 degrees.

Mix dry ingredients together using a whisk. (Flour, Sugar, Cocoa Powder, Vanilla, Baking Soda.

When using dates blend them together with apple puree and water.

combine wet and dry ingredients using a whisk, don’t use an electronic mixer, for a vegan dough it is okay if it is not combined too well and there are bits and pieces of flour, it will go away during the baking process. Add more water if necessary, the dough needs to have a thick but liquid consistency. (Kind of like a thick smoothie.) Otherwise it will not be as fluffy.

on a baking tray set up your muffin form and papers or use silicon forms for the muffins. now garnish with cherries and berries:

Bake in the oven 20-25 minutes. Check after 20 minutes if the Muffins are ready by using a tooth pick and stick it in the middle of 1 muffin. If no dough is sticking to it, it is ready and you can take it out to let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Crustless broccoli/carrot Quiche

Recipes

This is a very easy to make crustless quiche, the base is made from tofu and because there is no crust it can be made very quickly and is also suitable for people who need gluten-free. I made it in a 26cm diameter round tin, but it was quite thin, roughly 1,5 cm, so if you want to make it higher I would recommend using a smaller dish or double the amount of ingredients, if it is meant for more than 3 people as a main.

Ingredients Amount
Tofu

200

small head broccoli

x1

small carrots

Prepare veggies : Wash Carrots and broccoli and peel the onion. Cut Carrot into thin rounds and half the onion to slice it into big stripes. Cut broccoli into small rossets. Fill them into a medium pot and fill it up with water until veggies are covered, add the vegetable stock cube and cook the veggies on medium heat until they are tender. Then drain the veggies. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 180 degrees.

For the mixture: Drain tofu, cut it into small pieces, add it to a food processor with nutritional yeast or use a handheld blender to mix the tofu until it has a smooth creamy consistency. If the tofu is to dry to mix you can add a couple of Tablespoons plant milk or water. Then fill the mixture into a big bowl add in the remaining ingredients and use a spoon to mix it together. Add Salt&Pepper to taste.

Then fold the veggies under the mixture.

Baking: align a spring form (26cm) with baking paper and fill in the mixture. Put the quiche into the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Check in after 20min. if the quiche gets too brown put some aluminum foil over it.

Happy New Year’s Chocolate rum balls!

Recipes

The first recipe I am taking over from my other blog:

While I was visiting my dad , we went to an organic food store and I found some vegan chocolate balls I wanted to try.

Foto am 30.12.14 um 09.16Foto am 30.12.14 um 09.16 #2

They were quiet good but not awesome, but they inspired me to make my own with a twist of rum and coconut.

Foto am 31.12.14 um 18.29 #2

They turned out wonderfully and I will surely make them again. They are the perfect welcoming the new year treat!

Ingredients:

150g pitted dates

25 g cocoa powder

100g shredded coconut

3/4 Cup flour (I used oat flour)

pinch of salt

2 TBSp rum extract (add more if you like a stronger flavor)

1 tsp vanilla extract

Water

Method:

1. Put dates in a medium bowl and cover them with water. Let it rest in the fridge for roughly 4 hours or until dates are completely soaked and very soft.

2. Using a blender mix the dates with the water they were in until you reached a smooth consistency.

3. add all the other ingredients into the bowl , except 25g of the shredded coconut. Mix well. The dough will be a little sticky but you should be able to roll little balls out of it, if not add more flour, if it is too dry add more water or some plant milk.

4. When you mixed it all together divide the dough into small pieces and form little balls out of them. Size depends on you. Mine were about 1.5 cm in diameter and I got 30 pieces.

(This is quiet a sticky work 😉 )

5. in a small bowl put the rest of the shredded coconut and roll the balls in the coconut until they are completely covered.

6. Arrange balls on a plate and keep them in the fridge for at least an hour before consuming, they will firm up a little more. If they are resting over the night they come out the best.

Wishing everyone a blissful new year with lots of peace , love and happiness!!

Wow lately I have been browsing through so many food blogs that I got inspired to try out a lot of new recipes. In the next few weeks make yourself ready to be bombarded with lots of new recipes inspired by other bloggers or totally created by myself:

1. Hungarian milk cake– this cake is a typical hungarian dish, which is very quick and very easy to make, it takes on 30 minutes in the oven and I will be making it with a little twist since i am going to veganize the traditional hungarian recipe.

2. Crustless quiche– Something I have been wanting to make for a long time already. I was inspired by a recipe from ohsheglows but I will add my own character to it.

3. Homemade Seitan– I wanted to try this for such a long time! The recipe is all over the internet but I will give it my own personal flavor.

4. Vegetable Strudel– Around christmas time I went to a restaurant with my mom and my sister, and I had a delicious vegetable strudel, so I came up with the idea to make my own Mediterranean Style Strudel.

5. Celery Schnitzel– Something I always wanted to try!

Unknown-3

6. Oat- Bread– An old recipe I found and I want to try out next 😉

7. Mushroom-goulash– Everyone knows the traditional hungarian goulash soup, so this will also be a new recipe of mine, having the rich and rustic flavor of a goulash with delicious big chunks of champignon.

8.Basil pesto– A classic – I always wanted to make my own.

9. Milk-rice cake– When I was younger an au-pair of mine, made this dish very often and it was my favorite for a long time but I never got the recipe so now I want to make my own.

10. Lentil Loaf– Also something I have been wanting to do for a long time. I just love lentils! This dish will be inspired by ambitious kitchen.com.
