Ultimate MultiSeed Bread (grain-sugar-gluten-free)

A fantastic alternative to all breads: chewy, wholegrain and tastes like heaven! Quite similar to Nordic Nut Bread. The difference is in partially ground seeds and added leavening agent. Nut-and-seed bread recipes usually contain oil, tahini or ghee. I skip it because such multiseed loaf is already very fat. Preferably to add some water instead. Chunks…

Trinidad coconut sweet loaf (cake)

Here is an adapted recipe of delicious Carribean coconut bread which is called by the name of the island of Trinidad.

It came out fragrant, soft inside and…

Spontaneous and simple things are always best! In case with these delicious muffins this principle worked as well:) I had 40 minutes for preparing something, before friend would come over.
