2 eggs
Pinch of salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
Sprinkle nutmeg (optional)

Coconut oil or butter if you’re using it as your cheat meal 😉

Mix all ingredients (of the first list) by hand or with a hand mixer and leave to rest for about 15 minutes.

Place your non-stick small to medium-sized round pan on medium heat and add desired amount of coconut oil or butter (I use about 1-2 tsps).
Pour the batter onto your pan until about half of it is covered in batter, then spread the batter by tilting the pan in all directions until it’s fully covered (or look the method up on YouTube).
Wait for the cake to dry up about 80% on top, then flip. Repeat this for every pancake.

Place a whole banana on the edge of the pancake and roll it up. Cut up and dig in!
(or optional)
Cover the pancake with maple syrup. Then place the banana on the edge of the pancake and roll it up.

Healthy coffee cake

Ingredients
1 cup oats before turning into flour
Pinch of salt
2-3 tsps cinnamon
2 tbsps instant coffee
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 egg
2 tbsps greek yogurt
2 tbsps apple sauce
1 big handful of pitted dates
2 tsps peanutbutter
2 tbsps melted coconut oil

Start of by preheating your oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
Turn your oats into flour by simply processing them and then add the remaining dry ingredients. Mix all the wet ingredients in a seperate bowl and than slowly combine the 2. Be careful not to overmix! This is of great importance, because you might activate the baking powder too soon if you overmix the batter.. Which would mean that this baby won’t rise like you’d want it to.
Pour the batter in a sillicone cake mold or a greased oven tray.
Place in the oven for about half an hour or until the top starts to crack and the tooth pick comes out relatively clean.

Enjoy!

Healthy cinnamon rolls

Cinnamon roll ingredients
1,5 cup whole wheat flour (haven’t tried any other type yet, but if go ahead if you dare :-))
0,5 packet instant yeast
0,5 cup almond milk (or any NON-dairy milk)
4 tbsps melted coconut oil
Pinch of salt
0,5 tbsp cinnamon
2 tsps stevia
2 tsps pure maple syrup/raw honey

Glaze ingredients
2-3 tbsps greek yogurt
0,5 tbsp stevia
1-2 tbsps pure maple syrup

Start of by carefully mixing the dry ingredients (flour, yeast, salt, cinnamon, stevia).
Mix your wet ingredients in a seperate bowl. Be sure the coconut oil isn’t too hot! It should be about body temperature.
Add about half of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix gently with your hands, then slowly add the remaining flour mix.

Transfer to a lightly floured surface and kneed for about a minute until it forms a neat dough ball.

Lightly grease a new mixing bowl with coconut or flax seed oil and add your dough ball in it. Cover with some plastic wrap and let it rise for about 1 hour (or until doubled in size) in a warm place.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough ball into a thin rectangle. Brush the entire rectangle with about 1-2 tbsps coconut oil, 0,5 tbsp cinnamon, 1 tsp stevia and 2 tbsps maple syrup or coconut sugar (i used maple syrup but its kinda runny :-().

Tightly roll up the rectangle and cut up the roll in desired size (about 2 inch parts).
Place your rolls tightly next to each other in a pre-greased oven tray and pour some more coconut oil and tiny bit of sugar on top. Place the tray on top of the oven while you let it heat up to 180 degrees Celsius.

When the oven is ready to go, transfer your buns and let them sizzle in the oven for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve immediately!

(optional: top with glaze)

Enjoy!
