Monday was a good day ! My first task when we got back to Cincinnati after three amazing weeks in our dear Belgium was to go to the grocery store to somewhat refill our fridge and food cupboards that were desperately empty. When I arrived at the store, I couldn’t help but notice that there was a huge discount on the Biscoff spread jars (Biscoff, or speculoos as we call it back home, is a traditional and delicious Belgian cookie…
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!

Friends, I am pretty excited about this new recipe! These brownies are so moist and fudgy, yet I didn’t use any butter nor refined sugar to make them. That must be some kind of miracle, right? The frosting is great too and will melt in your mouth, although it is so much healthier than regular buttercream frosting -and it is super easy to make too! The secret ingredient that allowed me not to use butter and to reduce the amount of sweetener in…
