Lactose, Gluten, Starch and Sugar free Chocolate Souffle evening treats

by Marie MannNo Comments
  This recipe is a bit like the super quick Cheese Cake Souffle – sugar and gluten free with the help of Stevia-sweet  but it is totally Lactose free with a fruity Blackcurrant fruit spread centre. It doesn't take much, you just need  2 small ramekins or tea cups, and 5 minutes of preparation and 25min patience, use them to meditate ;-) and build your patience.   Makes: 2 mini ramekins (you can also use tea cups) Prep time: 5 min Cooking: 25 min at 180 degree celsius   You need: 3 Eggs (separated) 2 tbsp Coconut Flour 2 tbsp unsweetened organic Cocoa powder 6 tbsp Water 2 tbsp of Meridian Blackcurrant fruit spread sweetened with grape juice concentrate 1-2  knife-tips Stevia-sweet 90% powder dissolved in 1 table spoons hot water Note: getting the sweetness to the desired level is a matter of trial and error, the best thing is to start with a smaller amount of whatever Stevia you have on hand, it can be ready-use, liquid or tabs (need to be dissolved too), adding more is easier than diluting...

Cheese Cake Souffle – sugar and gluten free with the help of Stevia-sweet

  This recipe is great and adaptable  for a super quick healthy treat for 2 any time of the day. I use 2 small ramekins, the good thing is when you only make enough for one sitting there is no chance of accidentally having too much. Although, when you make sweet treats sweetened with natural  stevia sweetener there will not be any longing for more after the first portion as your blood sugar levels will not rise and fall in crazy ways. I have another nice soufflé recipe which does not even require any milk product. - I'll post it next.   Makes: 2 mini ramekins (you can also use tea cups) Prep time: 5 min Cooking: 25-27 min at 180 degree celsius   You need: 2 Eggs (separated) 150g Quark ( you can use fromage fraise, or thick yoghurt too.) 15g Coconut Flour skin of 1/2 unwaxed organic Lemon 1-2  knife-tips Stevia-sweet 90% powder dissolved in 1 table spoons hot water Note: getting the sweetness to the desired level is a matter of trial and error, the best thing is to start with a smaller...

Carrot cake with stevia – gluten free/ sugar free

Carrot cake with stevia – gluten free/ sugar free

by Marie Mann2 Comments
    Holding up birthday cake traditions with juicy chocolate covered carrot cake. Last month was my husbands birthday. I had planned to make him a cake as I usually do, this time I went for the carrot cake with chocolate covering. It is a tradition from my childhood, in my family there would be no birthday without a chocolate covered carrot cake! It actually lends itself very well to have candles stuck in it. Now, I needed to change the  traditional receipe slightly to make it gluten free to allow me to have some too, I didn't want to miss out  on this yummy treat. When I looked at the ingredients I actually found that this carrot cake is great for paleo dietary requirements, lots of nuts = healthy fats, eggs = protein, vegetable = fiber, no flour needed. And if one is very serious the chocolate covering can be omitted. For this cake I have used Lindt 85% chocolate to ensure that my husband would definitely like it. Alternatively you can use  a 100%...

Mrs Meiers oat bites 2 – soft Lavender

Mrs Meiers oat bites 2 – soft Lavender

by Marie Mann1 Comment
Light lavender fragrant healthy oat biscuits based on Mrs Meiers oat bites sweetened with natural zero calorie stevia sweetener. July is lavender harvest season, most us enjoy the fragrant calming lavender plants in our gardens. I got mine from a Lavender farm on the isle of Jersey, after having taken a tour and tasting the large variety of treats at the farms tea room, I couldn’t go home without taking a couple of small plants for my front garden. The plants have established very well and have grown larger each year. Every year when the flowers are just about to wilt I cut them down, tie them into a bunch and hang them up to dry. Later, I rub the petal buds off the stalk and keep them in an airtight glass for cooking throughout the year. If you are not sure when the best time is to harvest your lavender check this nice guide by notmartha, she explains it very well...
