Chocolate chip cookies (vegan)

To all those who are following me on snapchat or instagram, here you are ! I made a promise and I kept it.

  • You’ll need
    1 tbsp ground flax
    3 tbsp water
    ½ cup shredded coconut unsweetened
    ½ cup rolled oats
    ½ cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
    1 tsp baking powder
    ½ tsp salt
    ¼ cup mini chocolate chips (I used black 75%)
    ½ cup peanut butter
    1 tsp vanilla
    2 tbsp maple sirup

Preheat the oven : 350F.
In a medium bowl, mix the water and the flax and set aside for few minutes.
In another bowl, whisk together the coconut, rolled oats, sugar, baking powder, salt and chocolate.
Add the peanut butter, vanilla and maple to the flax until well combined together.
Mix all the ingredients together (I used my hands). If it’s too dry, add 1 tbsp of water (but it shouldn’t be dry, trust yourself). You’ll get a sticky dough (don’t be tempted, don’t eat it…yet).
Form the dough into balls about the size of golf balls then place them in a baking sheet and press down each one to flatten slightly. You can lightly wet your hands before doing this.
Bake them between 12min and 14min then let them cool completely before serving them.

Enjoy and don’t forget to share your cookies with me!

Last minute breakfast

Last week, while Zak was studying, I suggested we make the famous three ingredients pancakes. These delicious healthy pancakes that take so long to cook and are so hard to turn but oh so delicious! The recipe is super simple: (1 1/2 banana, 2 eggs, 1/8 baking powder) I love making quick and delicious fruit coulis in order to have more options than just maple sirup.

Here is a nice idea you can try out: whippe up the whole thing: coconut yogurt, orange blossom water, fresh cut out mint, almond milk to liquify the mix and maple sirup to taste. I added chia seeds and bee pollen at the end.

Buddha Bowl

One of my resolutions is to eat healthier. I also decided to share with you even more recipes on the blog, this section that I have neglected a bit these past months. I have already prepared many easy and quick meals that would make a great healthy lunch or nice breakfasts. I have also developed an obsession for bowls. We can find an infinite number of models and we can garnish them whichever way we want, including leftovers. It is a healthy, simple and sain way to eat.
Here, I added: sautéed portobello mushrooms (garlic, salt and pepper), grated carrots, coriander, quinoa, avocado and chickpeas. For the chickpeas, I seasoned them (cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, olive oil) and baked them in the oven.
For the vinaigrette, I always make a new one. Here, I made it with tahini, lemon juice, salt, pepper, 1 tbsp of yogurt and water for the consistency. I also added a little bit of sumac on top.
What type of recipes would you like to see on the blog: something healthy or something comforting such as dessert?
