Oat blueberry scones vegan gf

There are cookbooks that you just keep on using and reading and might even add notes to. This book is filled with flour, stains, old notes and even a few postcards. I find it soothing to bake from a book where you know the end result will be delicious. And with most recipes I try to add something or even with the risk of sounding arrogant: I improve the recipe (most of the time it is adding chili and other spices because people don't use enough chili). But with this recipe- and I have made it over 5 times there is nothing to improve

Gf and DF Tarte tatin

Tarte tatin is a simple yet luxurious dessert and ideal for the holiday season. With a big scoop of vanilla ice creamit is even more special. We made a gluten - and dairy free version while also giving you the option for a more simple and vegan version.

We loved a mix of chestnut -and almond flour for a richer taste and structure for the gf and df version. If you want a simpler and vegan version use store bought puff pastry (obviously the vegan one)

Chocolate espresso cake

With the holiday season in sight we wanted to make a delicious two tiered chocolate espresso cake. It is vegan and gluten free and we used a few raspberries from our own garden. The ones we could save from Moos (the doxie) actually since he likes picking them.

The cake is airy and light, also allergen friendly so it is suitable for almost everyone…

Chocolate sesame cake vegan and gf

Meet Johann his new favorite cake. The black sesame seeds give a warm and nutty flavour and this cake is airy and soft. You can find black sesame seed ( in Holland) at the Toko or Turkish supermarket and is great in savoury dishes as well. Another plus is the fact that you don’t taste the coconut cream, together with dates-the most used ingredient in vegan baking. Warm, nutty and chocolate galore.

Bottomless apple pie, gf

Bottomless pie always sounds a bit odd, this is not a pie with floating apples ( that would be an Instagram hit) but this is something between a pie and a clafoutis. And utterly delicious.

Dark chocolate pie

This rich chocolate cake is really something for the chocolate cake ‘connoisseur.’ A small slice with some whipped cream and an espresso to finish it off would be perfect. What I love about this cake is that while you use coconut cream, you don’t actually taste the coconut

Banana bread series chocolate

When we first shared a recipe for our banana bread series (click here for recipe 1 and here for recipe 2) someone on Instagram told us that her favourite recipe came from our cook book “Andere Koek”. And honestly, I do think that’s one of our best recipes. The workshop cake, breakfast cake and waffles are other great classics, but this one is actually really good! Vegan and gluten free…

Rhubarb lemon cake

A few days ago, we had our first couple of warm days of the year (not a fan, and not happy). We ate our first asparagus and turnips, and now the time has come for rhubarb. A while ago we made a rhubarb compote to go with this wonderful cheesecake, and now we have created a lovely lemon rhubarb cake.

This cake tastes wonderfully fresh and a little sour, but I think that’s what makes rhubarb actually taste like rhubarb.

Banana bread series sunflower

In our search for the best banana bread, we have tried quite a few different cakes already. And I have to admit that although banana bread is incredibly easy to make –you only have to mix some flour and bananas in a bowl and bam! you’re done – not every recipe is as good. I tend to look for recipes that aren’t too sweet, have some texture, and aren’t too dry. It can be fancy, and I like the idea that you can add your own toppings as well. On our third try, we struck gold:

Basic vegan and gluten free cake

Johann and I have labelled this cake our basic cake. It goes perfectly with any type of fruit, topping or sauce. On top of that it is also very easy to make and has great texture and taste. And I know that people who love breakfast cake will also definitely enjoy this one. What else can I say except…. bake this cake!

Gluten and dairy free bundt cake

To be completely honest with you, I absolutely love kitsch. More so than I love white and minimalism. But even in my own home I go for light colours, only to then ask myself why I ever thought that was a good idea with three pets running around the house and me being the queen of getting chocolate stains absolutely everywhere. But, yes, I usually go for light colours and would describe the style of Food Bandits as “cake on marble”. But now the time has finally come for me to finally use my one true love: edible glitter. If there is ever going to be a recipe that somehow requires tiger print in any way, I will have finally completed my life goal on this blog. For the holidays we have created this wonderfully soft chocolate Bundt cake, complete with chocolate sauce. And now that the holidays are finally here, I think everyone can use a little bit of glitter or fireworks in their life.

Simple cake with orange

I could try to come up with a whole story, but honestly, we don’t have such adventurous lives and one day Johann simply said: “today I want to bake an almond orange cake”. And then he did. The second version of this recipe was even better than the first and the consistency of the cake was a lot more airy than it was on the photo, which is why we decided to put the second version of this recipe up here for you to enjoy!

Breakfast cake

This recipe is a true Food Bandits classic. Make this recipe once and you won’t be able to stop. It’s so easy, so delicious and is forgiving when you make a mistake. On top of that, this cake is my cat Lola’s favourite. When we were invited by our publisher to talk about our (at that time potential) book Andere Koek, Lola had already started munching on this cake, meaning we were forced to show up empty handed. Thankfully, Claire trusted Lola’s judgement completely and we got the publishing deal regardless.

Gevulde speculaas

Is er een taart of cake wat lekkerder ruikt dan gevulde speculaas? Wat meer herinneringen oproept? Ik denk het bijna niet.
Deze gevulde speculaas is een ware traktatie, zacht maar met een heel licht korstje. De vulling is heerlijk en niet te bitter. Ik denk dat ik deze traktatie nog maar heel vaak moet eten voordat het echt Sinterklaas is.

A new book....

Niets is zo lekker als eigen gebakken taart uit de oven, geen betere start van de dag dan met een grote stapel pannenkoeken. Er is zoveel mogelijk met een beslagkom, pollepel en oven.
Dit schreven we aan Kosmos uitgevers. Wij weten dat met een liefde voor taarten en cakes ons bedrijf is ontstaan. En we weten ook dat het de creatieve uitdaging van het vegan en glutenvrij bakken is die ons elke dag weer drijft. We delen niet altijd de recepten of gooien alles op social media want al hadden we geen Food Bandits, je vindt ons altijd in de keuken.

We are back

Na 7 jaar te hebben geblogd was een kleine break wel op zijn plaats maar toch miste ik het wel om gekke quotes te delen, al beloof ik dat de 'live, laugh, smile' -achtige quotes hier nog steeds niet gedeeld zullen worden, een grafbek geniet nog steeds mijn voorkeur- om wat uitgebreider te kunnen schrijven over een recept of waar wij met Food Bandits mee bezig zijn,
