If you try claiming you are not obsessed with cinnamon rolls or donuts with cinnamon glaze, I won’t believe you a bit, because I most definitely am. Even though these desserts are more than delicious, I frequently struggle with the massive amount of sugar, butter and wheat flour it contains. This is why I tried creating something similar taste-wise while being on the healthier side as well.

ingredients:

• 200 ml oat milk
• 2 tbsp plant based butter
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• vanilla extract
• 50 ml maple syrup
• 110g oat pulp
• 130g wholemeal/whole wheat flour
• 1 tsp of baking soda
• 100g brown sugar
• 120g powdered sugar
• 10g cinnamon

instructions:

• for the cakes mix the wet ingredients in a bowl first:
  • 180ml oat milk
  • 2 tbsp melted vegan butter
  • 50ml maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • a little bit of vanilla extract
• then add the dry ingredients and whisk it together:
  • 110g oat pulp
  • 130g wholemeal flour
  • 1 tsp of baking soda
  • 1 tsp of cinnamon
  • 100g brown sugar
• grease your muffin form (to avoid waste)
• divide the dough into 12 molds
• bake the cakes for about 25 minutes with 180-200 degrees
• while the cakes are in the oven start preparing the cinnamon glaze
• mix 120g powdered sugar with 8-9g of cinnamon
• pour 2 tbsp of oat milk over the cinnamon and sugar mixture and whisk carefully
• add a little bit of maple syrup and vanilla extract to your liking and personal taste (trust your gut)
• mix with a whisk until the sugar and liquid parts turn into a glaze
• when the cakes are finished baking let them cool off for a bit
• then drip them into the glaze with the top or sprinkle the glaze over the tiny cakes and your healthy cinnamon rolls/donut alternative is ready to be shared and eaten up! 🙂

There is rarely anything better than a homemade bread with a thin layer of plant based butter. This is why I am always trying to come up with different variations and flavors while baking bread at home to spice this simple dish up a notch.

ingredients:

• 300ml lukewarm water
• 1 package of dry yeast
• 450g whole wheat flour
• 20g powdered sugar
• garlic powder
• salt
• coriander
• olive oil
• 1,5 yellow onions
• 1,5 red onions

instructions:

• mix the water with the package of dry yeast and let it sit/rest for about 10 minutes
• while the yeast is processing mix the following dry ingredients together in a bowl: 450g whole wheat flour, 20g powdered sugar, 1 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp salt, and 1/2 tbsp of coriander (not fresh one)
• cut the yellow and red onions in rings or thin stripes
• sauté the onions in a pan with a little bit of olive oil on medium to high heat and with the lid half on
• season the sautéed onions with salt, garlic powder
• after the 10 minute resting process mix the dry ingredients with the water and yeast and work the dough thoroughly (to prevent the dough from sticking to your bowl or pastry board add occasionally more flour)
• after having knead the dough part it in three sections
• sprinkle a little bit of flour on your working surface and either roll out the dough and fill it with some of the onions OR work the onions by kneading into every one of the three „dough-balls“ separately (this is essential in order to reach a quite frequent spread of the onions within the bread)
• in the end combine everything to one large bread loaf
• you can then either put it on the baking paper in your baking pan as it is or roll it out into a huge sausage and then place it in your baking pan in order to have a pretty pattern
• before baking it I decorated the top with some leftover sautéed onions and sprinkled some more flour on it
• bake it then in the oven for about 45-55 minutes with 200 degrees

I am a total chocolate lover. From brownies and hot chocolate to fondue and many more chocolate flavored variations I certainly cannot resist most of the time. A few weeks back I was craving something sweet and chocolate flavored real badly so I decided to use what I was able to find in my kitchen shelves and baked these chocolate bars. Go and try it yourself! 🙂

ingredients:

• 100g melted dark chocolate mixed with 1 tbsp of oat milk (for a creamy texture)
• 180g flour
• 100g cocoa powder (I used one with sugar)
• 40g powdered sugar
• 50g brown sugar
• 1tsp baking soda
• 200ml oat milk
• 60g melted butter
• 1 tbsp peanut butter

instructions:

• melt 100g dark chocolate with 1 tbsp of oat milk under constant stirng on low heat until you reach a creamy liquid texture
• mix all of the ingredients named above in a bowl
• place baking paper in a baking pan of choice (use a smaller one and a square shape)
• spread the chocolate mass into the baking pan
• bake in the oven for 20 minutes with 200 Celsius degrees
• let it cool of a little then cut oblong pieces
• top the chocolate bars with either self-made chocolate glaze (I just melted chocolate added some agave sirup and oat milk) or peanut butter (works with every nut butter pretty well)
• Enjoy your easy home made chocolate bars! :))

I am sure you have realized by now that everything containing oats are my go to ingredients, may it be oat milk, oat meal or oat flakes. Besides the nutritional benefits of oats, they are high in fiber and vitamins and contain anti-oxidants, I really like the filling flavor to it that make you put down the third or fourth cookie of the day and allow you to enjoy more the following day. (Which is also a great thing to take into consideration while trying to loose weight! But I think saving the indulgence up so I have a sweet I can look forward to and have also prepared myself is FAR more important than a number on a scale…)

ingredients:

• 100g powdered sugar
• 50g brown sugar
• 200g oat meal
• 150g spelt flour
• 100g melted plant based butter
• 150ml oat milk
• 1 tbsp cocoa powder
• a hand full of chocolate chips mix white and dark vegan chocolate (topping for variation one)
• a little bit of white chocolate chips and a handful salted and roasted peanuts (topping of the second version)
• some white chocolate chips and about 12 cut macadamia nuts (third ,and last but surely not least, topping variation)

instructions:

• mix the the powdered sugar, brown sugar, oat meal and spelt flour
• now add the melted butter and oat milk
• divide the mass into three even masses in three separate bowls
• for the chocolate cookie version add the cocoa powder and the white and dark chocolate chips
• to the other two masses mix the missing toppings in
• place the cookies on a baking sheet (per flavor there will be four cookies)
• decorate the cookies before putting them into the oven with left over toppings for a cute look
• bake them for 15 minutes with an estimated heat of 180 degrees (apologies here but my oven doesn’t show the numbers so I often just guess…)
