Sugar-free Vegan Apple Cake

Gluten-free, sugar-free, egg-free

I wanted to make myself and those around me a little treat last weekend. I had a hard time finding what I was looking for, so it ended up being a “two in one” version by combining two different cakes in one. You can make it vegan using margarine instead, and the almond meal can be switched to wheat, coconut or perhaps more of the gluten-free flour.

The first layer is pie dough. I didn’t use any sweetener in this one because I like the salty in contrast to the sweet filling. On top of that I put an apple crumble pie, made with almond meal for a bit more characteristic taste, and lovely oats.

“I felt high on sugar from only a small amount and would never have guessed that it didn’t contain any sugar.”

As sweetener I used powdered Stevia. And if you think that just won’t do it, let me tell you, it does! I felt high on sugar from only a small amount and would never have guessed that it didn’t contain any sugar. It may be due to my sugarless living these past months, and if so, I love it! Hopefully I’ll keep being that sensitive and won’t crave the real deal, aka table sugar.

The best vegan protein powder

Hello! If you’re a vegan or a vegetarian or just looking for a drinkable protein powder, keep reading!

Since my mission nowadays is to cut back on sugars and keep my protein high I’m forced to find alternatives due to the fact that I’m not a meat-eater. It has not been an easy task, there are a lot of quite disgusting options out there, to say the least… But now I think I found the best ones for me yet!

The first one is a protein powder from Weider, made from pea and rice protein. It’s gluten-free, lactose-free, and sweetened with Stevia. I’ve tried chocolate, vanilla, and Iced Cappuccino, and the last one’s my favorite. It almost tastes like real iced coffee. Put it in a glass with ice, water, and cold coffee, and you get yourself a perfect drink for warm days.

I recently found Bulkpowder, and they’re having a lot of great options. They’re also made with pea- and rice protein, and sweetened with Stevia. If you get a stomachache or other issues related to protein powders, they contain digestive enzymes and may be a great solution for that.

I would suggest blending them with coconut milk (not canned), almond milk, or oat milk. My personal favorite, when it comes to oat milk, are the products from the brand “Oatly”. Cheers!

Vegan Twix – chocolaty and crunchy

Sometimes you just want something sweet, right? To be honest, I find it quite hard to decide what to bake/cook. There are so many delicious recipes, and I want to make them all! However, I’ve been craving chocolate for the last couple of days, so I was so pleased when I made the recipe that I’m going to share with you. The result was absolutely satisfying!

“The final product didn’t disappoint.”

I avoid refined sugar as much as I can. The Swedish brand Cloetta has dark chocolate that’s sweetened with steviol glycosides and maltitol. And it’s also vegan. I use it in many recipes, and I can highly recommend it! Or at least try a sugar-free option if you can find some near you.

Due to my desire to make everything totally vegan, I swapped the dairy products and syrup for coconut cream and agave. And because you only use almond and coconut flour, it’s gluten-free (but if you want to, you can make it with ordinary cream and chocolate instead). The final product didn’t disappoint.
