Instead of using food coloring for these Red Velvet Cupcakes I used beets which also make them more nutritious and moist. I also prefer substituting coconut sugar for the white which gave these cupcakes a more brownish color which I didn’t mind. They are really good – especially with a whipped topping and redcurrants.

These Deep Chocolate Chickpea Cupcakes are completely vegan – no dairy or eggs . They have nothing to lose though in flavor or texture. In addition they’re packed with protein provided by the chickpea flour, almond meal and almond milk. And they’re so easy to make, just combine and beat together the dry and wet ingredients. I whipped them up before breakfast and in 20 minutes they were out of the oven. And they’re healthy enough for breakfast too. Continue reading
These little crunchy millet baskets can actually be filled with anything but here I chose a simple zucchini cheese filling topped with a crispy parmesan wafer. These wafers by the way can be made in seconds with just one easy ingredient: grated Parmesan! The baskets themselves can be made ahead of time and ready to be filled when you need them.

These gluten free chocolate chip coconut macaroons have only three basic ingredients plus chocolate chips. No flour or fats here. They are super quick to make and bake. So if you like chocolate chip cookies and coconut try this delicious variation. Aquafaba works well here too. Continue reading
These delectable little muffins, being not too sweet, are just right for breakfast, snack or even dinner time.

These crispy aquafaba oatmeal waffles are a perfect combination of two breakfast foods: oatmeal and waffles. This recipe caught my eye in Zsu Dever’s “Aquafaba” cookbook. I took the original recipe a step further by also whipping up the aquafaba with a small amount of coconut sugar to make them even lighter – and topping them with fresh blueberries and maple syrup make these waffles even more yummy !

These Aquafaba Zucchini Lime and Pistachio Cupcakes are a spinoff of the Loaf cake I made recently. You can make 24 small or 12 large cupcakes from my original recipe. They bake so much quicker (15-20 min) and are easier to serve. Look up the Zucchini Lime and Pistachio Loaf on this blog and follow the same directions and tips. I skipped the honey this time and the flavor was perfect…..not too sweet. Continue reading
This Zucchini Lime Pistachio Loaf can be easily turned into an egg-free version by using aquafaba. Naturally sweet zucchini makes this cake extra moist and full of healthy fiber while reducing a lot of the sugar used in most recipes. Pistachios and limes pair well in this loaf by adding extra crunch and tanginess. Healthy enough for an energising special breakfast. Continue reading

The way of mixing the ingredients might sound complicated, but it really isn’t. The idea is only to carefully mix without deflating the fluffy aquafaba. Continue reading
