Baked Apples with Raspberry topping

Baked apples are naturally sweet and require only some time and fantasy. They can be stuffed with a variety of tasty things such as nuts, dried fruit, grated pumpkin or carrot, white cheese and so on. Autumn apples are so fresh, juicy and sweet that I bake them usually plain, serving with any fresh berry sauce…

Oaty Cookies with Almonds & Fruit (vegan)

Vegan oat cookies stuffed with almonds and dried fruit! From the series “travel bake”:) A portable snack I’ve made once before a trip. These cookies are very crumbly because of the oat flour. Grated juicy apples work great as a wet ingredient, in case you don’t have apple puree like me. The main binding agent…

Spicey & Gingery Pear Cake (vegan)

Today I’m excited to introduce one fantastic vegan cake by Ally, one of the collaborators of our Vegan Challenge organized in September by Nicolas www.blogtasticfood.com (again, I’m very grateful for this inspiring collaboration!). I’ve altered Ally’s recipe a little bit, the original one with a video tutorial can be found here. This cake amazed me by its incredible…

The easiest recipe that doesn’t require lots of your time and effort:) When autumn fruit are so sweet and juicy…all you need is just to get these goodies:) They can be served independently or in addition to your morning oatmeal.

Matcha Corn Muffins with Pumpkin Seeds (Vegan)

My first matcha muffins! Vegan! I have quality matcha powder but the muffins didn’t turn greenish despite the batter initially was lightly green…Actually this recipe created quite a unique taste that involves corn, tea, somewhat nutty and obviously sweet. If you know how to make matcha muffins green or have a recipe, please let me…

Ultimate Vegan Chocolate Cake

Today I’m eagerly sharing the easiest vegan chocolate cake formula I’ve tested yesterday:) It’s semi-sweet, moist and has a lovely light texture. The recipe makes one small Ø14 cm bundt cake. For the larger cake (Ø22 cm) you’ll need to double the proportions. Having this recipe at hand you can create the most diverse cakes: with zucchini, nuts,…

Ultimate Apple Pie (vegan)

Apples!! There’s nothing original in loving apples:) It’s my favorite fruit though:) Any apples in any form. I rarely cook them preferring fresh fruit most. For many years I was making this simple Apple pie/tart, experimenting with crust and ingredients it’s made of. The basic apple filling recipe remains always approximately the same. Last Sunday…

Orange cookies (vegan) (Melomakarona)

For the idea of this recipe I’m grateful to foodzesty.com blog. These Greek Christmas cookies impressed me by the mix of olive oil and semolina.

Carrot oat rye semolina cookies (vegan)

The top winter cookies – carroty, orange-flavored, spicey and soft-textured:) This recipe was developed after encountering on Foodzesty blog Greek Christmas cookies (melomakarona) recipe.

Hot gingerbread (vegan)

Truly hot, spicey, crispy vegan gingerbread:) Made of rye flour and brown sugar, these cookies look really dark. Well-stored when placed in a cookie box, a couple of weeks they will last for sure. For more tender dough, use vegan shortering and nut/non-dairy milk instead of chicory/coffee. Rye flour can be replaced by plain flour. Happy baking!:)…
