Old fashioned pancakes: gluten- and dairy-free version

Old fashioned pancakes: gluten- and dairy-free version

At home, Sunday mornings very often consist of a huge stack of pancakes and a bowl of fresh fruits. I usually double up the recipe, cook all the pancakes and keep the one we don’t eat (if we don’t eat it all right away ;-)) in an airtight container in the fridge for the next mornings. In order to change things up from time to time, we like to come up with different recipes (banana oats, apple almonds, old fashioned,…)…

Banana chocolate loaf cake

Banana chocolate loaf cake

Here’s an easy cake recipe that combine two of my favorite flavors everrrrr: banana and chocolate. Seriously, any combination of these two turns out delicious. Also, by adding banana to the batter, it means that you need tu use less sugar and butter than for most other cake recipes I’ve tried so that’s a nice plus. You can also easily make it into a dairy-free or gluten-free version if you’d like (see below) and it will be great for any…

This granola recipe filled with roasted hazelnuts and tons of seeds is a new variation to add to my list. We don’t always have time to make a pile of fresh pancakes in the morning, so it’s nice to have…

Roasted hazelnut chocolate spread (vegan/dairy-free)

Roasted hazelnut chocolate spread (vegan/dairy-free)

Who doesn’t like a good hazelnut-chocolate spread on a fresh slice of French bread or on pancakes and waffles? For breakfast, as a snack, whatever the reason, it is always irresistible! However, between the varieties with palm oil, those with way too much sugar or the ones with crazy unhealthy and scary ingredients, it is hard to find the perfect spread! Also, if you know me well, you probably know that I always prefer to make something myself rather than getting the…

Is it Friday yet? Here’s a recipe to help you get through the end of this week in style. As you might have noticed, I LOVE pancakes: they are delicious, easy to make, and they are different than the average and boring breakfast or make a great afternoon snack. What’s not to like, right?
