gluten vrij — Blog — Food Bandits

Not much of an introduction since I have no clue what to tell you about this recipe other than it is delicious and if you feel like baking a cake I highly recommend this recipe. So to keep it short and simple: here is the recipe…

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)

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:

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.

Summer abundance pie with vegan lemon curd

If you have been following us for a while, you probably know summer isn’t exactly my favourite season of the year. I don’t much like the heat, that barbeque smell, or the extra noise outside. But I do love all the fresh fruits that are now available in the shops, and admittedly, summer morning are perhaps some of the most gorgeous mornings in existence.

Here is our simple sweet summer pie with vegan lemon curd

Decadent chocolate tahini pie

This cake is truly luxurious. The biscuit made from chocolate and almonds, the layer of rich chocolate that covers it, the sweet fudge with sea salt, the tahini, and you could even add an extra layer of caramel with some coconut cream and powdered sugar if you want to go extra fancy. This cake is more than just a treat.

Christmas cake

It seemed like a nice challenge for us to try to create a vegan and gluten free version of this classic Christmas treat. And a quick bake version of it too, just in case you still need to catch up on Stir Up Sunday. The heating up of the ingredients makes the flavours even stronger, which will make you even happier when you taste all those wonderful spices, the orange and the coffee. I, at least, know for certain that we’ll be making this cake again for Christmas.
