About me

I've changed my life around and now I am enjoying The Lighter Life. I love cooking and especially baking lovely desserts, but I wanna stay away from little no-no's like too much sugar and fat. I live in Belgium where the 'low-carb and low-fat movement' is just starting to begin so I found myself looking for recipes with easy to find ingredients and metric cooking measurements. Since they were hard to find, I decided to make my own! My desserts may never win beauty contests, for baking with bio ingredients will mostly give you flat cakes and pies. But lord will they win over your taste buds and still have you fitting into your skinny jeans. I invite you all to try out some recipes, adapt a couple where you see fit and above all, learn to enjoy the lovely taste of freshly baked, healthy goods.

Cinnamon Cakes



Two reasons why this next creation came into place.

                       1 = I had just bought a new silicon baking tray and I wanted to use it.
                       2 = I've been wanting to make something heavy with cinnamon. 



It can be as simple as that. So I dove into the kitchen, added some of my favorite ingredients in a bowl and whisked away. With no added fat, this cake is easy on the hips yet very yummy on the tongue.



Ingredients:

3 tbsp dark brown unrefined sugar
3 tbsp buckwheat flour
1 tbsp cinnamon
3 medium eggs
A handful of your favorite nuts (I used peanut)
160 ml soy milk

Way to do it:

  1. Combine all dry ingredients (not the nuts)
  2. Add the eggs and whisk till everything is combined.
  3. Add the soy milk and whisk for a good minute.
  4. Plop in the nuts and give it a stir with a spoon.
  5. Divide over your tin and bake, in a pre heated oven, at 200 degrees for about 25 minutes.
  6. Let cool before you transfer them.


This recipe is a little bid different from my usual ones because of the soy milk. This time the batter is very liquid, but a longer baking time still results in a delicious and light cake.

To make it sweeter, you can top with some powdered sugar dissolved in water, making a nice glaze, or you can dip them into cinnamon sugar (just mix some cinnamon with white sugar)

Enjoy
xx
