Made the cake this weekend and it was fabulous! Used a 10″ spring pan and baked for 60 min. Yes it cracked but was done perfectly. Can’t wait to bake it again. It was a hit! Absolutely delicious and so easy to make! Awesome! I made it to bring to my sister in laws for Easter… everyone who tasted it loved it! It’s absolutely wonderful. It’s just the right about of sweetness and makes a great presentation. It was so much fun to make and it is to die for.   Ingredients    Cheesecake Mixture 2 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, softened well (but not melted) 2/3 cup granulated sugar 1 1/2 tsp all-purpose flour 2 large eggs 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/2 cup sour cream    Carrot Cake 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg 1/2 cup canola oil 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce 2/3 cup granulated sugar 1/3 cup packed light-brown sugar 2 large eggs 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 1/3 cups finely grated carrots    Topping 2 oz cream c

Healthy Carrot Cake Oatmeal Cookies

Gambar
I just made these and they’re great! I used regular flour since that’s all that I have. I also did half honey and half maple syrup, and I had some leftover fig spread (a tablespoon or two) so I added that in. I ended up with bigger cookies (12 instead of 15) and had to cook them longer which is typical for my oven anyway. They’re the perfect flavor and nice and soft/chewy. Next time I’ll probably try them with raisins or apples…I think it’s a very versatile recipe! Ingredients 1 cup (100g) instant oats (measured like this and gluten-free if necessary) ¾ cup (90g) whole wheat or gluten-free* flour (measured like this) 1 ½ tsp baking powder 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon ⅛ tsp salt 2 tbsp (28g) coconut oil or unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly 1 large egg, room temperature 1 tsp vanilla extract ½ cup (120mL) pure maple syrup ¾ cup (68g) grated carrots (about 1 smallish medium, peeled first!) Instructions In a medium bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and sal

Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp

Gambar
This is just Amazing!! Strawberry-rhubarb is my favourite pie ever, but having a whole pie around the house for 2 people is always a bit much (I mean, we eat it, but maybe shouldn’t). These, however, perfect! This is very tasty! The proportion of rhubarb and strawberries is perfect. I made a half recipe in an 8 x 8 inch pan. This Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp is perfectly juicy with just the right amount of sweetness, and the contrast in textures is spot on. This is a must try summer recipe!  Ingredients 1 cup (140g) all-purpose flour 3/4 cup (80g) old fashioned rolled oats 3/4 cup (166g) packed light-brown sugar 1/4 tsp salt 10 Tbsp (5 oz) unsalted butter, cold and diced into small pieces Seeds of one small vanilla bean I sell them! 1 1/2 lbs fresh strawberries , stemmed and sliced into three pieces (or two if small. About 4 1/2 cups after slicing) 1 lb fresh rhubarb , sliced into 1/2-inch pieces (about 4 cups) 3/4 cup (170g) granulated sugar 2 tsp orange zest 1/4 cup (2 oz) orange juice 2

Healthy Avocado Chocolate Cookies

Gambar
Anyone wondering – strange as it seems, you can’t taste the avocado at all, it just adds a really nice texture. Also, the coconut sugar doesn’t actually taste like coconut, it’s really sweet and if anything it has a slight caramel flavor to it. I have made these 2 times and they are delicious! I keep mine in the freezer.  Absolutely awesome cookies! Ingredients 100 g. (3/4 cup) avocado flesh (very ripe, but not brown) ½ cup (120mL) coconut sugar (*SEE NOTES) 1 egg (FOR VEGAN VERSION SEE BELOW) ½ cup (120mL) dark cocoa powder 50 g. dark chocolate chunks (I used 85% cocoa) ½ tsp. baking soda To see directions and complete recipes visit Healthy Avocado Chocolate Cookies @ thesmoothielover.com
