Making life a little sweeter since 2012
These Coconut & Honey Oat Waffles are one of my breakfast staples! So healthy – for a great start in the day – and the combination of honey and coconut is second to none. You might have noticed after I posted the Maca Pancakes with Wild Blueberries the other day, that I opened a new category in my recipe section – Breakfast. I cannot believe I went on for 5 years on this blog without that category! I am an absolute breakfast person, it seriously is the best meal of the day for me. …
I guess it is too late to wish a happy new year, but this is my first post this year! And I’m starting the new year off with these super nutritious, dairy-free and gluten-free Maca Pancakes with Wild Blueberries. Packed with coconut oil and coconut sugar, flax seeds, maca, oats, honey and wild blueberries, these are seriously delicious and give you a healthy kick of energy in the morning.

I cannot believe it is already September… time if flying! Summer is almost over and I have to admit, I am really excited about fall. September is my birthday month (am I really turning 32?!) and, it is also national Honey Month! Did you know that? I thought I celebrate with this extremely moist and tasty Honey Coconut Bundt Cake. I have to say that this cake was a total experiment but I hit the jackpot! It is unbelievably moist and soft thanks to coconut milk and honey, and, I think coconut and honey is one of my new flavor combos. Sooo good. Jackpot….
I made this quite a while ago but as I’m sitting here typing this post I am seriously starting to crave a piece of this incredible Orange Coconut Cream Cake. Coconut cake is one of my all time favorites (besides chocolate – of course – and anything nuts) and this recipe has been with me for years. The creamy coconut with the zesty orange is just a perfect match and this is a perfect cake for both cold winter days and summer parties!

These amazing Chocolate Cheesecake Christmas Trees are seriously too cute to eat! Well maybe not cause they taste at least as good as they look. Milk chocolate lined waffle cones with milk chocolate cheesecake filling and shredded coconut – a guaranteed winner for the holidays, and the perfect edible christmas table decoration. Those trees are also super easy and so fun to make, especially with kids. So put on that christmas music and get crafty!…
Happy Valentines Day! I know – I am a little late this year. But hey, these raspberry sandwich cookies are great year round! I love the combination of raspberry and coconut. Divine. I purposefully made them bite-size small (just 1 inch) which might haven not been a good idea since I tend to eat a lot more of them the smaller they are…

I think it’s about time I post this recipe. Banana cake with coconut. This is one of my favorites cakes that I’ve been making for years. It’s not just extremely delicious but super easy (all you need is 2 bowls and a whisk), quick and – healthy! Yes, healthy. And being pregnant (almost 6 months!) I’m always glad to have something for my sweet tooth to snack on that is not making me feel too guilty. And it is soo good, too – super moist, soft and fluffy.

As much as I LOVE granola bars, I am really not happy with most of the store bought ones. Why do they always have to contain as much sugar as a candy bar? Or even high fructose corn sirup? Isn’t a granola bar supposed to be healthy? Well, yes – if you make them yourself! And trust me it is really much much easier and quicker than you think.

There it is, the first layer cake on my blog! And oh my goodness, WHAT a layer cake. Unbelievable fluffy and moist with a slight coconut flavor through and through. It all started with this Southern Coconut Cake recipe from Completely Delicious (a great blog by the way, check it out). I had an eye on it for a while and was just waiting for the right occasion (“right occasion” you wonder, who needs the “right occasion” for cake?) but when I decided to turn the recipe into a Raffaello cake, I just couldn’t wait any longer.
