Sugar free Quark Waffles with Stevia

Sugar free Quark Waffles with Stevia

Fluffy, light, crunchy - just the way a waffle should be - bring a bit of Europe to your Easter afternoon tea. I loved waffles as a child– especially the heart shaped ones. When I was little, we sadly only had a square shaped one at home, square is just not the same – it so grown up and strict. Heart shapes are playful, cute and you can rip them out one by one – so when I set up my own home a heart shaped waffle iron was a must. Waffles are great Easter celebration treats, they are quickly made and everyone can add their favourite topping – ice cream would be my first choice. I loooooove ice cream. I often make them for Sunday breakfast; it takes me back to a time when things were easy… Since I like to eat healthy and sugar free, the recipe I use has changed since my childhood. I now make a lighter version using...

Classic Marble Bundt cake with a sweet nutty marzipan like flavour from the flour and a moist chewy texture. You are right - I did say I wouldn’t use ingredients that aren’t widely available but I could not keep this delicious alternative version of the classic black and white Marble - Bundt cake to myself. I found the chestnut flour at the health food store when I was looking to top up my pantry stocks, I couldn’t resist taking a pack home even though I had no idea what I would use it for. Its been sitting in the cupboard for a week while I searched the net for inspiration and tips on using the novelty ingredient.
