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

Sesame banana bread

In our quest for the best banana bread we have a black sesame banana bread. And may I suggest that you eat this bread smothered in tahini and honey ( or rice syrup for the vegan version).?And since covid brings out the urge to bake banana bread. I present you the banana bread series.

Almond peach cake

This easy almond peach cake is a great way to celebrate the end of summer. It is gluten free and dairy free

Banana bread series

A new series: the banana bread series. Everyone, even the people who say they really can’t bake or that cooking is just a hassle, can make banana bread. It is suitable – or can be made to fit – any person’s diet, no matter your allergies or intolerances. Okay, except if you’re allergic for bananas. All you need to do is grab a bowl and a spoon, get rid of some of that built up tension as you mash your bananas, and tadaaaa! A cake!

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!

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.

Gooey vegan and gf chocolate cake

Imagine having a brownie, a chocolate cake, and a Schwartzwälder kirsch torte in one. And now imagine this also being incredibly easy to make, while also being gluten free and completely plantbased! No worrying about finding all the ingredients at your local supermarket. Doesn’t that deserve its own celebratory statue or at the very least its own song, written and performed for Food Bandits?

Vegan chocolate mousse with almonds

Despite my love/hate relationship with Instagram, I do love it for always giving me inspiration. And you do meet some great people on there, who you otherwise would never have gotten to know. So, despite all the algorithm frustrations, I still like Instagram. For example, for a very long time now I have been following Nina Parker, not just because I want to have all of her clothes, or go on all of her travels, but also because of the delicious food she always shares. This time we decided to make her vegan chocolate mousse and it was delicious

Silken tofu cheesecake

Not that long ago, I got a message from Suus from Puur Suzanne, who told me she had finally found the recipe for the best vegan cheesecake of all time. As any serious food blogger should, she put her own twist on it and also sent me the original recipe, so I could be creative with it as well. First, I followed the original recipe to try it out for myself, and honestly, I sold from the very first bite. Suus wasn’t lying: this is the best vegan cheesecake of all time

Simple series granola

Granola is the perfect recipe for someone who can’t bake to save their life, but it is also a great basis for a good healthy breakfast, and will give you a happy feeling for the rest of the week.

To be completely honest, this is also my way of cooking and baking: throw a bunch of stuff together and pop it in the oven. But, of course, Food Bandits does sound a lot nicer. We make a big bowl of granola regularly, and I have some every morning with some fresh fruits, and Johann drowns it in almond milk.

Vegan and GF Pizza

Does this post really need an introduction? I can’t even express how happy and relieved I am now that we have a great recipe for gluten free and vegan pizza, that also actually tastes like pizza. No offence, but cauliflower is not pizza and courgette is not pasta. Both are great as veggies. Definitely! But we want actual pasta and actual pizza.

Easy vegan cake

Als je hier bent voor de cake, wat ik geheel kan begrijpen want dit is de ideale cake voor het 'zal ik ook eens vegan gaan bakken maar ik hou niet van bakken en ik lust eigenlijk ook wel vlees'- mens. U kent het wel, eigenlijk de meesten onder ons. Misschien helpt het als ik zeg dat dit een soort bananenbrood is en dat je daar eigenlijk nooit genoeg versies van kan hebben.
Misschien dat de boekweitmeel wat 'geitenwollen sokken'- aanvoelt maar boekweit heeft een geheel eigen smaak en is niet duur. Ben je nieuw met boekweit dan raad ik je wel aan om de hoeveelheid genoemde dadels te gebruiken maar mocht je de smaak al kennen en heerlijk vinden dan kun je ook zeker met minder toe.

Workshops

De laatste weken hebben we hard gewerkt aan een nieuwe workshop planning. Want er zijn een paar zekerheden in het leven: ik eet elke dag chocolade, Moos haat regen en ik hou van workshops geven. Juist toen ik 8 jaar geleden begon en werkelijk elke valkuil heb genomen die er maar bestaat ( had wel een lintje verwacht of zo aan het einde) wil ik graag delen wat ik heb geleerd.
