Make Your Own Eggnog Cupcakes

These little cupcakes are really tasty – and bite again, and again… until there’s nothing left. Because this chocolaty, fluffy treat is simply delicious. The eggnog cream cheese cream gives the cakes their icing on the cake. We’ll show you how to make the eggnog cupcakes yourself.

Fine topped cupcakes

These fine little cakes have one big advantage: They are super easy and quick to make. Unfortunately, they are gone just as quickly, because they are simply too delicious.

The light cream cheese cream is the perfect counterpart to the chocolatey cake and brings a lot of freshness with it! The dough with wholemeal flour and coconut oil fills you up for a long time, so even a small tart is enough to satisfy your craving for sweets.

Although wholemeal flour contains more calories than normal wheat flour, it also has more fiber, so it keeps you full longer and supports digestion. So this sweet treat is definitely allowed – especially at Easter when you can finally snack.

If you want to make the eggnog cupcakes even lighter, you can do without the sugar in the batter – but the cupcakes will then be harder and not as well-formed.

Ingredients for 12 Eggnog Cupcakes:

  • 2 eggs
  • 100 g whole cane sugar
  • 50 ml coconut oil
  • 150 ml eggnog
  • 200 g wholemeal spelled flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 50 g dark chocolate
  • 250 grams of cream cheese
  • 2.5 tablespoons powdered sugar made from raw cane sugar

Preparation steps

  1. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, coconut oil and eggnog until fluffy. Mix flour with baking powder, cocoa and salt and gradually fold into the batter.
  2. Roughly chop the chocolate and mix the pieces into the batter. Pour the batter into twelve muffin cases and bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (160 °C fan oven; gas: level 2-3) for about 20-25 minutes. Then let cool.
  3. Mix the cream cheese with 4 tablespoons of eggnog and 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar until you get a creamy mass. Place in a piping bag and pipe onto the muffins.
  4. For the topping, mix the remaining eggnog with the remaining powdered sugar to create a smooth, liquid sauce. Using a teaspoon, gently squirt a few sprinkles onto the cupcakes. Serve and enjoy!

We wish you a happy Easter and lots of fun baking and snacking!

Make Avocado Ice Cream Yourself – with Chocolate and Mint

Summer, sun, sunshine – and ice cream! This vegan ice cream simply tastes like summer: fresh mint, crunchy chocolate, and creamy fine ice cream. We can’t get enough of this green avocado ice cream. And you don’t even need an ice cream maker. It’s so easy to make your own avocado ice cream.

Make your own avocado mint ice cream

You’ve certainly never eaten ice cream like this: fresh mint gives the creamy-green avocado ice cream a particularly refreshing note – and really helps to cool off on hot days. The crunchy pieces of chocolate give a certain crunch effect. And on top of that, it’s also vegan ice cream!

To make the avocado ice cream yourself, you only need a few ingredients: coconut milk, avocados, mint, chocolate, and possibly some agave syrup. Although avocados have a relatively high number of calories and a high-fat content, healthy polyunsaturated fatty acids predominate.

Mint and lemon provide vitamin C and at the same time provide a fresh kick. The whole thing is also done in no time at all: you only need 15 minutes until the ice is in the cooler – but then you have to wait. But anticipation is often the best joy!

We fell in love with the creamy avocado ice cream – just try it out and enjoy the fresh licking fun on hot days.

The recipe for the avocado mint ice cream with chocolate

For 6 servings

  • 1 can of coconut milk
  • 3 ripe avocados
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • Agave syrup (optional)
  • fresh mint (or mint extract)
  • 100 g chocolate drop (or to taste)
  • Besides that
  • cling film

Preparation steps

  1. Open the coconut milk and scoop out the solid part at the top – don’t shake the can first – and pour it into a large bowl! Using a hand mixer, beat the solid coconut milk until fluffy, and then pour into a cake or casserole dish.
  2. Split the avocados, pit and scoop out the flesh, and place in a food processor. Blend together with the lemon juice, agave syrup, and mint leaves until smooth and creamy.
  3. Put the avocado mixture on the fluffy coconut cream, sprinkle the chocolate chips over it, and mix the mixture carefully but evenly.
  4. The surface of the mass should be relatively smooth. Now place cling film on top and press lightly so that there is no air between the film and the ice cream mass. Place the ice cream in the freezer for at least two hours.
  5. Let it thaw and enjoy.

Make Your Own Bean Brownies

From kidney beans, avocado and nuts we conjure up – no, not chili con carne, but – super juicy brownies! Thanks to dates, almond milk, coconut oil, and cocoa, the small squares taste wonderfully sweet and chocolaty. The simple recipe follows immediately: make bean brownies yourself.

Bean power in brownie form

Baking fairies have already discovered a very special ingredient for their creations from the hot oven: vegetables. It makes many baking classics even juicier than the original and you can save a few calories when baking with vegetables. This is because some of the flour that is otherwise used can be replaced with zucchini, sauerkraut, or – like here – beans, thus creating more volume.

Like all legumes, kidney beans provide a large portion of vegetable protein and fiber, which keeps you full for a long time. In addition, the tiny ones contain around 150 milligrams of magnesium per 100 grams and thus ensure strong nerves and healthy muscles. These chocolaty bean brownies prove that kidney beans can not only end up savory on the plate!

Make your own bean brownies

The ingredients (for 16 pieces):

For the bean brownie:

  • 20 soft dates (soaked in hot water for 10 minutes)
  • 180g kidney beans
  • 120 ml canola oil
  • 130 ml almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
  • 3 eggs (size M)
  • 50 g rolled oats (tender)
  • 50 almonds (ground)
  • 50 grams of cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 5 tbsp walnuts (chopped)

For the frosting:

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
  • 3 tablespoons of espresso
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 5 tbsp maple syrup
  • Crumbles or coarse sea salt to taste

The preparation:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees top/bottom heat. Process the dates together with the kidney beans into a pulp using a hand blender or a food processor.
  2. Now add rapeseed oil, almond milk, eggs, oat flakes, ground almonds, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to the date and bean mush and mix to form a brownie batter.
  3. Now fold the chopped walnuts into the batter and pour the whole thing into a casserole dish (approx. 26×20 centimeters) lined with baking paper and bake for 30 minutes. Then let it cool down completely.
  4. Now process all the ingredients for the frosting with a hand blender or a food processor until you get a fine chocolate cream and spread it over the bean brownie using a spatula. Refine with toppings as you like, cut them into 16 pieces, and store them in the fridge.

As the name “Banana bread” may already suggest, it is mainly ripe bananas that disappear in the dough. They are particularly sweet and give the cake an extra portion of juiciness.

Make Your Own Oat Milk

Make oat milk yourself – this is how it works: This plant-based milk is for everyone who is looking for an alternative to cow’s milk or nut milk. You can make your own oat milk with just three ingredients. This is full of valuable nutrients and provides you with many vitamins. Try it out – we’ll show you how quickly and easily you can make your own oat milk.

Healthy Flakes

Oatmeal is extremely healthy because it has a high-quality nutrient composition and complex carbohydrates keep you full for a long time. They contain a lot of dietary fiber, which ensures good digestion, as well as unsaturated fatty acids.

They are also said to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Blood sugar levels don’t rise as much after eating oatmeal, which helps prevent cravings. A good reason to make your own oat milk.

The small flakes also contain a lot of minerals, trace elements, and vitamins as well as iron, zinc, folic acid, vitamin E, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, copper, sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus.

Not only a hit in porridge

If you want to integrate the delicious flakes into your diet, you don’t necessarily have to eat porridge all the time. You can also make your own oat milk! This is not only a good milk alternative but also another plant-based milk that can add some variety to the diet.

Whether due to lactose intolerance or because no animal products are to be consumed, oat milk can be used as an alternative to cow’s milk along with almond milk and the like. But be careful: oats contain gluten, so they are not suitable for people with gluten intolerance.

If you make the oat milk yourself, vary the amount of water as you like, depending on how thick or creamy you like the milk.

Homemade oat milk also scores with few ingredients – and you can sweeten and season as you like. The finished oat milk will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about three days. Alternatively, you can boil the milk again and fill it hot into airtight bottles – this way the oat milk will last longer.

Make your own oat milk

The ingredients for 1 liter:

  • 100 g tender oat flakes
  • 1 liter of water (or to taste)
  • pinch of salt

Preparing the oat milk:

  • Put the rolled oats and salt in a bowl, cover with 1l of cold water and stir briefly. Let the oat flakes swell for about 5 minutes and then puree them with a hand blender or in a blender.
  • Place the puree in a nut milk bag (or linen cloth), drain the liquid into a container, and squeeze the mixture well so all the liquid comes out.
  • Finished! Now you can sweeten or spice it up as you like, for example with dates, cinnamon, or vanilla.

Make Your Own Nice Cream: Healthy Banana Split

And now a cool ice cream for refreshment! But it has to be healthy because not everyone wants to lick a sugar bomb. We have the solution: creamy Nicecream! Made from bananas and some almond milk, this ice cream is the perfect treat for anyone who relies on natural ingredients and valuable ingredients. We’ll show you how you can make delicious nice cream yourself – like a banana split!

What is nice cream?

The banana-based ice cream is known in English as Banana Ice Cream – abbreviated to Nana Ice Cream. The frosty dessert is now also known as ice cream and is being eaten more and more frequently by those who are health-conscious or have allergies.

Topped with other fruits, chocolate, or nuts, the Nicecream is a great ice cream variant free from refined sugar, artificial additives, and flavor enhancers. Ripe bananas in particular are ideal as nice cream due to their sweetness and do not have to be thrown away.

Cut into slices, frozen, and processed into a creamy ice cream mass in the blender, the ice cream can be quickly made and licked at home.

That’s how healthy the Nicecream Banana Split is

Bananas are not only a healthy snack, they also provide B vitamins, vitamin C, calcium, potassium, and a large portion of magnesium. Very ripe bananas contain up to 23 percent fructose, which quickly gets into the bloodless ripe bananas and provides more starch.

Due to the ideal combination of quickly digestible sugar, “slower” starch, and about three percent fiber, bananas not only fill you up quickly but also for a long time – and with relatively low-calorie content. Make your own ice cream: Let’s go, here’s the simple recipe.

Make your own ice cream

The ingredients:

  • 5 bananas
  • 50 ml almond milk (or water)
  • 2 handfuls of berries to taste
  • 20 g chocolate (70 percent cocoa content)

The preparation:

  1. Peel three bananas and cut them into finger-thick pieces. Place everything in a freezer-safe bag and place in the freezer for about four hours.
  2. Take the frozen banana slices out of the freezer and put them in a powerful blender together with the almond milk. Puree to a creamy mass and add a little liquid if you like – the ice cream is ready!
  3. For the Nicecream Banana Split, peel the two remaining bananas, cut them in half lengthways, and place them on the plates. Spread the ice cream balls on top and serve sprinkled with berries and finely chopped chocolate.
