For my new book Lekker Gelukkig we made a donut recipe. When the donuts were in the oven, I suddenly realize that we don’t have a donut recipe on the blog at all…

I would therefore like to present: Carries healthy vegan vanilla donuts.

Okay, okay. Maybe the Mars is my ultimate number 1, but the Twix deserved a well-deserved second place. With a base of almond flour, coconut oil and dates, a caramel of dates with peanut butter and a dark chocolate layer, this homemade twix pie is vegan, crunchy on the outside and deliciously creamy on the inside.

We all know the big bag of Celebrations from when we’re young. What I would reach when it showed up? I don’t have to think about that for too long. My absolute favorite is the mars. That delicious creamy milk chocolate in combination with soft caramel and nougat: a unique flavor combination, if you ask me.

As you probably all know I love the Mediterranean countries… The weather, the vibe, the people and the food; lovely. The best thing for me is to walk into the local supermarkets and look for the most local products. Or to scour various markets for the tastiest Italian ice creams, churros, macarons, French fresh bread and, of course, my favorite Portuguese pie.

Sweet potatoes are rich in B vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin D, calcium, Iron, Magnesium which are necessary in a balanced diet.  In addition, these baked sweet potatoes contain lots of antioxidants,

The previous blondies on the blog were so much appreciated by you guys (I totally agree :-p) which inspired me to prepare another blondies recipe with more depth and a touch of coffee. And believe me: this delicious coffee blondie recipe is so yummy! I really like coffee and unfortunatley I don’t come across many baked goods in which coffee is used.

Are you always distracted by all the delicious pastry at your favourite coffee shops? You can smell all the delicious cakes and cookies from outside and inside you no longer know what to choose. From brownies to cookies, from carrot cake to lemon poppy seed cakes. They often have everything! That’s why I’d like to come up with an healthy alternative.

Do you recognize this feeling? The feeling of soup when days start to get cold, shorter and it’s dark outside. Especially when pumpkin season is there, I tend to go straight to this favourite fall pumpkin soup.
