Strawberry-choco cake

Hello everyone,

happy holidays! I hope you had a peaceful and merry Christmas. I spent the Christmas Eve at home with my parents and on Xmas day I fell into a deep food-coma at the boyfriend's house. Maybe this will sound funny to you but I cannot wait for January to come - the detox month!

New Year's Eve is just around the corner and I think it is time to think about what to cook for this special night. If you are still wondering and searching for a great dessert recipe - I can help you out. Here is a recipe for a gloriously delicious strawberry-choco cake, super moist, creamy, fruity, heavenly light... And the best part? You can make it healthy or super unhealthy. It is up to your preferences.

I made this cake for the boyfriend's mum's (mum-not-already-in-law) birthday and we devoured it immediately, everyone loved it! I mean... Who does not love strawberries and chocolate?

Cook with me: Healthy Oreo Pancakes

Hello everyone,

I took a break from writing posts but now I'm back on track! August was just such a busy month. 
However, here is a new recipe for an amazing stack of Oreo pancakes, healthy and free from refined sugar! And by using dairyfree products, they are also vegan.
I uploaded a photo of them on Instagram (and many many more food photos - @crayonsandbeads) yesterday morning when having them for breakfast. I could rave about how deliciously they taste for days! One of the best chocolate pancakes I've eaten in my life, seriously.

If you want to taste a little bit of (chocolate) heaven, you should try the following recipe.
(Recept je tudi v slovenščini!)

______________________________

Recipe (for 6 pancakes):

Ingredients for the pancake batter:
4 tbsp spelt flour

1/3 cup vanilla flavoured yogurt (vegan option - soy/coconut yogurt)
1 tsp sweetener (honey/maple syrup/coconut palm sugar)

Preparation:
1. In a bowl, combine flour, cacao powder, sweetener and baking powder. Add yogurt and milk, but don't add too much milk because the batter shouldn't be too liquid. Mix very well.
2. Put two heaping tablespoons of batter per pancake on a greased skillet. Bake them on medium heat, a few minutes each side.
3. For the filling, mix together the yogurt and sweetener. Add it in between the pancakes.

Optional: Drizzle some chocolate syrup over them (1 tsp raw cacao powder + 1 tsp liquid sweetener + 1 tsp water).
______________________________

Recept (za 6 palačink):

Sestavine za maso:
4 žlice pirine moke
4 žlice presnega kakava v prahu
2 žlici tekočega sladila (med/javorjev sirup)

Sestavine za nadev:
1/3 skodelice vanilijevega jogurta (veganska opcija - sojin/kokosov jogurt)
1 žlička sladila (med/javorjev sirup/kokosov sladkor)

Priprava:
1. V posodi zmešamo moko, kakav, sladilo in pecilni prašek. Dodamo jogurt in mleko, vendar ne preveč, saj masa ne sme biti pretekoča. Dobro premešamo.
2. Na ponev damo po dve zvrhani žlici mase na palačinko. Pečemo na srednjem ognju, vsako stran nekaj minut.
3. Za nadev zmešamo jogurt in sladilo ter ga namažemo med palačinke.

Opcija: Na koncu lahko palačinke prelijemo še s čokoladnim sirupom (1 žlička presnega kakava v prahu + 1 žlička tekočega sladila + 1 žlička vode).

Cook with me: Ovenbaked Chocolate Banana Oatmeal

Hello everyone,

I'm presenting you another dish that I tried yesterday for the first time - ovenbaked chocolate banana oatmeal! Healthy, sugarfree. dairyfree, nutfree and loaded with fiber, carbs and protein. Well, chocolate is not used at all; in this case, it wouldn't be healthy obviously. It is cacao powder that makes it look and taste chocolately. And if you are not a fan of bananas, you can totally skip them.

Cook with me: Chocolate Apple Cake (raw, vegan, dairy-free)

Hello everyone,

my food-loving-cooking-baking-creating side is at its best form these days. I started to write down all the recipes that caught my eye, some of them were already recreated and many more are still waiting in the line! Blame the holidays or too much free time, but I like this mood. And anyone who tried my food creations (especially desserts) likes it even more.
I've totally fallen for raw food where no cooking or baking is required, just combining ingredients and mixing them together. About a week ago, I made my second raw cake - a healthy Chocolate apple cake - vegan and dairy-free! It is pretty similar to the Banana strawberry chocolate cake. And as always, it is so easy to make!



Recipe:

Base (1st layer):
100 g mixed nuts (I used walnuts and hazelnuts)
100 g oats
50 g coconut flour
50 g coconut palm sugar
200 g medjool dates, pitted
2 tablespoons coconut oil (not melted)

Filling (2nd layer):
2-3 apples (medium size), grated
1 tsp cinnamon
3 tbsp coconut flour

Chocolate cream (3rd layer):
170 g medjool dates, pitted
1 cup water
50 g raw cocoa powder
2 tablespoons coconut oil (not melted)

Preparation:
1. For the base, mix all ingredients in a food processor into a dough and press it firmly into a cake tin.
2. Mix together the grated apples, cinnamon and coconut flour. Add the mixture on top of the dough. 
3. For the chocolate cream, mix the dates in a food processor until you don't get a lump. Next, add water to get a thick, creamy consistency. The last step is to add cocoa powder and coconut oil to the mixture. Then, put the cream over the apple layer.
4. Let the cake cool down in the fridge for about 2-3 hours before serving.



Believe me, raw cakes taste as good as ordinary baked cakes if not even better (oh yes, they do)! Still in doubts? Well, then you seriously need to make one or two!

By the way, there is still some time left to enter my GIVEAWAY (previous post) which ends today at 8 PM! The winner will be announced on Facebook no later than tomorrow.

Have a sunny week,

DIY: Homemade Peanut Butter and healthy Nutella + GIVEAWAY

Hello everyone,

another DIY post is here for you to try out, this time a food-related one. I'm presenting you two DIY recipes - homemade peanut butter and healthy Nutella! And at the end of the post, you can find all the details about the little giveaway I prepared in honour of the 1st Blogoversary.

I'm sure many of us love peanut butter and Nutella. Nutella was my go-to breakfast during my childhood and peanut butter is a more recent discovery. But as you may know, they are not the healthiest things to eat since they contain loads of unnecessary sugar, salt, unhealthy fats and other artificial ingredients. Overload of calories. However, it is possible to make them healthy, delicious and nutritious if you prepare them in your own kitchen.



PEANUT BUTTER recipe:

Ingredients:
250g peanuts (shelled, skinned, roasted, unsalted)
3 tbsp coconut/peanut oil
1 tsp salt
2 tsp liquid sweetener (honey/maple syrup)

Preparation:
1. Place the peanuts into a food processor. 
2. Blend for 1 minute, then scrape down the sides of the bowl. 
3. Blend again and scrape down the sides. Then, add the oil, salt and sweetener. 
4. Blend and scrape down the sides until you get a smooth cream which shouldn't be too thick - in this case, add more oil.
5. Transfer the peanut butter into a glass jar. Store in the fridge.



Healthy NUTELLA recipe:

Ingredients:
100g hazelnuts
5 tbsp raw cacao powder
3 tbsp coconut oil
1/2 tsp salt
3 tsp liquid sweetener (honey/maple syrup)

Preparation:
1. Place the hazelnuts in a food processor and blend into flour.
2. Add cacao, oil, salt and sweetener. Blend again and scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed.
3. Continue blending until you get a creamy consistency.
4. Transfer the choco-hazelnutty cream into a glass jar. Store in the fridge.


Now, where to use them? Spread them on toasted bread, add them into oatmeal, put them on fruit... You decide. Just use your imagination. I really hope you will try at least one recipe, it won't take you too long to master it.


And now the little GIVEAWAY!
One lucky winner will receive a unique handmade silver bracelet and a Soraya deodorant! The bracelet is made by me. All the beads/pearls are handmade - the little silver stones are glued onto the balls. And Soraya is a very popular brand here in Slovenia; I tried this deodorant which I really like, so I decided to order another one for this gevaway.
To participate, fill out the Rafflecopter below. The giveaway is international. Good luck!

1st Blog Anniversary

Hello everyone,

as you may know I usually post at Sundays but - today is a special day for me and this blog. Exactly one year ago, it was Sunday July 7, the first blog post was uploaded. So today I'm celebrating the 1st anniversary!


The year flew by really quickly. I managed to write 21 posts (without this one) - it may not sound a lot but in my opinion, quality is above quantity. I also got so many views, lovely comments and amazing followers from all over the world. It is hard to describe how excited and happy I get when someone writes a comment, gives me a feedback, likes my Facebook page or simply just reads the things I wrote. The feeling is priceless.

In honor of this day, a little giveaway will be going on. More details about the prize and how to participate will be posted this Sunday when I'll also share a new DIY recipe with you (hint - the glass jar on the picture above), get excited!
And I cannot end writing this post without...


A BIG thank you for reading and following Crayons and Beads!
