Strawberry Cheesecake | GF, RSF, V, DF











































(Ingredients for 3 bigger slices in a 12x12cm small cheesecake mold  |  GF, V, RSF, LF) 

Some days ago I made three dishes for me and my mom, I served a light cauliflower soup with a roasted hazelnut/raisin bread, salmon burgers with sweet potato fries and for dessert this handsome thing. A strawberry cheesecake. So simple, easy and fast and can easy trick people that it's just a normal sugar filled version. It isn't tho. This one is refined sugar free, vegan, gluten free, dairy free and 99% homemade. This dessert is actually one of my favorites. 


Ingredients base: 
2 tbsp oat flour (oats into flour, for gluten free, make sure to use gluten free oats) 
1 tbsp hazelnuts (or hazelnut flour) 
5 dried dates 
1 tbsp unsweetened almond milk

Middle layer 'cheesecake layer': 
50g (1/2 dl) coconut milk 
35g (1/2 dl) cashew nuts
1 tbsp agave syrup (or less, or not at all) 
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Top layer (not proper numbers, you can just throw a hand of berries in): 
2 tsp chia seeds 
25g (1 heaped 50ml) frozen raspberries
70-80g frozen strawberries 
1/2 tsp vanilla extract 
Some stevia drops 




Method prep: Put the cashew nuts in a glas of water and let stand over the night, just so they are covered with water is enough. 


Method base layer: Next day, start with the base. Mix hazelnuts into a flour (or use hazelnut flour) in a mixer. Put the flour in a little bowl and add oat flour. As the mixer is on, drop each date so they get crushed and becomes tiny pieces. Add the 'dates' into the bowl, add the almond milk and then start to create a dough with help from a fork. 
Put this dough in the bottom of your cheesecake mold and press it carefully down with your hands so it cover the whole mold. Put into the freezer meanwhile you do the cheesecake layer. 

Method middle layer: Separate the cashew nuts from the water and put them into your (clean) mixer. Mix until they becomes a not-so-nutty, smoother mass. Make sure that there isn't any big nut pieces left until you in the next step, add the coconut milk. Again mix until smooth and then add vanilla extract. 
Pour this over the bottom layer and put into the freezer again to set for about 1 hour or more.

Method top layer: Put the berries into a sauce pan on medium/high heat and mash with a fork. When they are 'mashed' put down the temperature to low heat and then stir in the chia seeds. When it has become smooth and their isn't any floating dry chia seeds on top add stevia and vanilla extract and again, stir. Put aside and let cool of completely before you pour this over the cheesecake. Put into the freezer for about 15 minutes and then enjoy!


Note: When you serve it you can just take it out from the freezer for some minutes so it's not ice or you can take it out the freezer and put it and store it in the fridge. When you store it in the fridge it becomes a creamy (?), melt in your mouth feeling, I love both! 

What I mean with agave syrup, less, or nothing at all is that I have tried both, it works fine with both, the agave syrup gives a little more 'wow feeling' though!

Vanilla/Caramel Protein Ice Cream



I searched after a ice cream recipe who wasn't full of fat, low in calories and high in protein and found a ice cream recipe made of egg whites and protein powder. YES, just those two ingredients could actually create a big amount of ice cream. 
As you probably now by now (if you now me) I LOVEEEE caramel and vanilla flavor. I'm more the caramel girl than the chocolate girl actually. So anyway, I added some dates for the caramel flavor and bam, this absolutely yummy ice cream was created. Simple, low in calories, low fat, low carbs (if you don't use dates), few ingredients.


Vanilla/Caramel Protein Ice Cream
(Whole ice cream weight is around 275g, recipe is for 2 bigger portions    |    High in protein, low fat, gluten free, banana free, refined sugar free) 

Ingredients for ice cream: 
60g vanilla flavoured whey protein powder

6 egg whites (2 dl) 
3 tbsp powdered stevia (isn't necessary to use in the recipe)
Ingredients for caramel flavour: 
50g fresh dates (around 4-5 dates) 
Splash of water
Alternative 5 caramel stevia drops 



Method caramel:
Put the dates in a mixer and mix until a sticky paste is created. You maybe need to take up the dates and drop while the mixer is on if you have a big mixer. Add a splash of water so it becomes a thick caramel sauce. Start with the ice cream.

Method ice cream: 
Pour the egg whites in a big bowl and beat until really fluffy and hard with an electric hand mixer. Can take up to 10 minutes. It's really important that they become as fluffy as they need to otherwise you wont get the ice cream texture. 
When they are fluffy enough slowly add the protein powder and stevia and stir together slowly and carefully with a spoon. 
When combined add the 'caramel sauce' and stir it in like a swirl and if you choose to use caramel stevia drops add these as well. 
Put the ice cream covered with plastic (for the non ice-freezer taste) in the freezer over the night. 

Toppings alternative: 
Walnuts, almonds, pecans, granola, coconut sugar, coconut flakes, berries and fruit.

Note: BE CAREFULLY when you stir because if the egg whites lose their fluffyness the ice cream wont be ice cream..

SnickMars Bar The Healthy-Meal-Ia Way


I love making easy snacks that I just can take from the freezer and snack on. 
And I also love to bake with protein powder and dates. 
This is one of those recipes that has all that. I mixed vanilla, peanut butter and caramel and swosh, this thing was made. 
I have done tons of caramel slice, snickers bar, twix bar, mars bar and candy bars recipes.
There are a million ways to do them and millions with different recipes. 
Well here is my version, I call them the SnickMars Bars. 


SnickMars Bar 
(makes 12 small bars or 6 big    |    Gluten free option, refined sugar free, vegan option if you use vegan protein, lactose free ) 



Middle layer: 
50g oats - into flour
4 tbsp vanilla white chocolate whey protein powder (regular vanilla protein flavor works as well) 
20g cashew nuts
1 tbsp (10g) coconut oil  
3 tbsp almond milk
1 tsp vanilla extract 
1 tbsp agave syrup or other syrup 

Chocolate layer: 
20g (around 3 tbsp shredded) cacao butter
1 tbsp cacao 
2 tsp agave syrup or other syrup 
2 tsp stevia 

Caramel/peanut layer: 
25-30 g (a little less than 2 tbsp) peanut butter 
50g pitted fresh dates 
3 tsp water
pinch of seasalt 
1 tsp agave syrup or other syrup 




Method middle layer: 
Mix oats into flour in a mixer and put in a bowl with the protein powder. 
Melt your coconut oil.
Mix cashews in the mixer until they become small pieces. Then add almond milk, vanilla extract, agave and the melted coconut oil. Mix again until everything is combined. 
Pour this into the bowl with oat flour and protein powder. Mix with a spoon and create a doughy dough. Put this dough on a baking sheet and form to an rectangle around 1 inch thick then transfer into the freezer. 
Start with the chocolate layer. 


Method chocolate layer: 
Shred/grate the cacao butter and then weight it. Melt the butter slow and on really low heat using the dubbel boiler method (1 bigger pot filed with 1/4 water and one smaller dry pot in it). 
When butter is melted add cacao, agave and stevia and stir until a smooth chocolate sauce is made (some minutes).
Pour the chocolate over the middle layer all over and out to all the corners. 
Put into the the freezer while you making the caramel/peanut layer. 


Method caramel/peanut layer: 
Drop each date in a running mixer until they become a sticky paste. Add water, peanut butter, salt and agave into the mixer and mix well so all ingredients is combined. 
Flip the whole cake so the chocolate layer is the bottom layer.
Put the sticky dough on the middle layer all over it and then put into the freezer for about 30 minutes. Then they are ready to eat just from the freezer! 


Note: I used walden farms pancake syrup to sub the agave syrup so if you want to cut down on calories that is a functional option!

Sticky Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls











































I am SO happy to share this recipe with everyone, this is just a ''let's bake cinnamon rolls'' recipe, very spontaneously, and I didn't have ANY recipe to go after. And they turned out great on the first try? How? I have no idea. 
Gosh what I have missed cinnamon rolls, that's like the best thing that exist. Now I can eat them without feeling guilty, raise my blood sugar or hurt my body! They are gluten free, refined sugar free, vegan, yeast free and they are super simple and fast to make. If that wasn't enough they also are pretty low in calories, 68 calories each (if you get 9 rolls). Dream treat. 
They maybe look hard on the outside but when you take a bite they are all goey and doughy. I have so much ideas for these so stay tuned... 
So anyways, if you like doughy cinnamon rolls this is defiantly a recipe for you, don't fear the pumpkin! #pumpkineverything 



Sticky Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls:
(Makes 9  rolls     |     Gluten free, refined sugar free, vegan, yeast free )



Ingredients dough:
130g pumpkin puree
25g oat flour
2 tbsp coconut flour
2 tbsp almond flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
2 tbsp stevia
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cardamom
1/2 tsp pure vanilla powder
a very small pinch of salt
1 tbsp (10g) coconut oil

Ingredients filling:
3 fresh dates (50g)
1/2 tbsp almond flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon
10g (a smal hand) pecans



Method: Put oven on 175 celsius and prepare a baking tray with a non-stick baking sheet. 
Melt the coconut oil and pour in a bowl with all the other ingredients for the dough, stir with a spoon.
When the dough has become harder start to form it a little with your hands. 
Transfer the dough to the baking sheet and form a rectangle. Use your flat of the hand and make it thinner, about 1 inch or less thick. 
Next step is to make the filling. 

Filling: Pitt your dates and prepare a mixer, while the mixer is on drop each date until they become sticky (You may need to take them up with a spoon and drop them over and over sometimes, depends on what mixer you use, and remember, watch your hands).
When they are sticky enough put the ''date paste'' in a little bowl and stir in almond flour and cinnamon, mix together with a fork. Smear the date paste all out to the corners over the cinnamon dough, chop your pecan and sprinkle over. 
Then it's time to roll. Roll the tallest side and take help from the baking sheet (picture below). When done, cut dough into 9 pieces and put them so the date paste is uppermost. Put into oven for about 10 minutes then they are ready to eat! 













Tip: Drizzle some agave/maple syrup or walden farms calorie free syrup over the buns. 
You can make a healthy and fast protein glaze of 1 tbsp vanilla protein powder, 1 tbsp quark/greek yogurt, some stevia and 1 tsp water.

Vanilla/White Chocolate Almond Butter


I truly do think that nut butter is the meaning of life. Not very nice from God tho to make it that high in calories.. 
Today I did my second nut butter, last time I did nutella (a lighter version ofc, with hazelnuts and cacao and so on), 
it was tasty, but the recipe needed som smoothyness (actually not a real word) so I will work a little bit on that recipe!
ANYWAY, today I did this instead, a vanilla/white chocolate almond butter. 
It's filled with protein both from nuts and from the protein powder, has the same calories as peanut butter or any other nut butter (around 100 calories each tbsp, 16g). And. It's freaking delicious. 
If you're a fan of almond butter you need to try this, ok, no doubt. 


Vanilla/White Chocolate Almond Butter:
(Makes 415g almond butter, 1 very heaped jar    |     Sugar free)



Ingredients: 
400g almonds 
4 tbsp (20g) vanilla white chocolate protein powder (I used fitnessguru's) 
2 tsp vanilla extract
1-2 pinch sea salt
1 tbsp (5g) shredded cocoa butter 
2 tsp coconut sugar 


Method: Please read notes before you begin. 
Put your almonds in a food processor (or in a mixer) and start to mix.
First it will look like a flour but just keep mixing until it becomes smoother and smoother (Look att how-to-pictures below). 
Mix, mix and mix and if needed scrape down the edges with a spoon so all of the nuts touch the blades. It can take around 15 minutes until it becomes smooth. 

When your butter has become smooth pour in vanilla extract, the protein powder and sea salt and mix until smooth and until all is blended. 
Grate your cocoa butter on a grater and measure it. 
Melt your cocoa butter on very low heat using the double boiler method (swedish: vattenbad). When melted pour into the mixer with the almond butter and start to mix again. 
When the cacao butter is mixed in pour in the coconut sugar, and well, mix again until smooth. 
Transfer your butter into a jar and store closed in the fridge. 




Note: 
  • You will need a good patience. When you start to mix it will just look lika a flour and you first thought will be ''this will never work'' but I promise, with a little patience!
  • You should use a food processor BUT it do works with a powerful mixer, I used a mixer but it takes longer time and you need to have one of the more expensive mixers or it can get overheated and broken. 
  • You can sub coconut sugar with example brown sugar but I wouldn't go for stevia. 
  • If you don't have white chocolate protein powder you can use regular vanilla protein powder but then you should call it just vanilla almond butter. 
  • 1 tbsp (16g) is 99 calories ish.

My Version Of Banana Pancakes


Since some of my followers on instagram wanted the recipe for these pancakes 
and of course because they are so good that I just couldn't keep the recipe for myself I, today took the time to 
write the recipe for these pancakes! This is the only pancake recipe that I haven't replaced with a new one or started to experiment with. I l-o-v-e how thick and doughy they are. 
And if they fit together with quark, peanut butter, mango and raspberries? Hell yes.

Thick&Fluffy Banana Pancakes:
(makes 5-6 small pancakes    |    Gluten free, refined sugar free, lactose free)  


Ingredients:
2 beaten egg whites
100g banana
2-3 tbsp almond milk
3 tbsp oat flour 
3 tbsp coconut flour 
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda 
1 tsp stevia 
1/2 tsp vanilla extract


Method: Mash the banana with a fork in a bowl. 
In the same bowl pour in all the flours, stevia and the vanilla extract. 
In a separate bowl beat the egg whites well until fluffy using an electric hand mixer. 
Pour in the eggs in the bowl with the other ingredients and stir carefully with a spoon until everything is just combined. 
Add 2-3 tbsp almond milk if the dough is to dry (this depends on how big banana you use, for a 100g banana I use 3 tbsp to make them very doughy) 
Put on a pan on low/medium heat and grease it with coconut oil. 
Take 1-2 big spoon/s of the batter and form round and thick, flip when top becomes dryer.

Toppings alternative: As i said before I love to top this pancakes with frozen mango, raspberries, 50g quark, 1 tbsp peanut butter and some quinoa puffs.

Note: If you use toppings alternative and want it lactose free make sure that you use lactose free quark. 
I used a pancake pan and always use a pancake pan for my pancakes. 
You can replace stevia with other sweetener.

Raspberry Vanilla Scones - gluten, refined sugar and (cow) milk free.





Under a long time I have searched after a scone recipe that doesn't contain 2 cups coconut flour, flour isn't the cheapest in both money or calories.. So last week I decided to make my own, this just has around 105-110 calories each! I've done the recipe 2 times know, last week and this week. I eat one every night as a little snack, with some cheese on. All warm and crispy and sweet. Gash, I love bread.

I wrote the recipe in swedish dl because 1/2 cup isn't exactly like 1 dl and i think it's important to have the right measure in this recipe. But I wrote in grams to, so I don't think you can go wrong now! (Read notes)


Simple&Fast Raspberry Vanilla Scones
(makes 2 breads and 8 scones, 1 scone around 106 kcal) 

Ingredients: 
2 dl (100g) coconut flour 
1 dl oats (around 40g) - into oat flour
0,5 dl (25g) almond flour 
1 tsp psyllium husk (fiberhusk) 
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp or 1 tbsp stevia (depends on how sweet you want it, i prefer 1 tbsp) 
1 egg 
1 dl (100 ml) unsweetened almond milk
1 banana 
1 dl (50g) frozen raspberries
1 tsp vanilla extract 
Some salt 

Method: Put the oven on 250 celsius.
Mash the banana and mix well with eggs, milk, stevia and vanilla extract in one bowl, mix all flours in another bowl. 
Add dry to wet ingredients and form a dough with help from ur hands. Add the raspberries. Form the dough.
Split the dough in half, put both doughs on a baking sheet and flatten it out with your hands. If the dough get big cracks at the edges, patch it back together again. When you're done with that take a knife and draw a cross over the whole dough. Then take a fork and make some holes (1 did around 12 holes on each bread)
Put in oven for 8-10 minutes and then take out and let cool of on a wire rack in 5 minutes. Then flip the bread and put into oven again for 2 minutes, take out and let cool of on a wire rack. 


Note: Store in fridge in a box some days or freeze. 
Before eating (if you have them in fridge or freezer, like you obviously will because it's 8 scones) put in oven for some minuts and they will become crispy and warm again!
106 calories is for a banana that weight 100g.
Try the scones with some raspberry jam and peanut butter!

Hazelnut Bread.


I don't know how I can describe this bread to make you feel how it taste,
it-was-so-freakin-GOOD.
Crispy on the outside and 'soft' on the inside, filled with nuts and seeds.
Bread is one thing that i've missed in my diet. Regular bread isn't that healthy,
some have sugar, they aren't gluten free, don't contain enough fibers.
THIS though, fills you upp and they contain healthy proteins, fibers, fats, it's egg free, vegan,
gluten free AND sugar free. What more can you ask for?
I had one today as a snack, topped with my sugar free jam and peanut butter.
And some days ago I had mashed avocado and some sea salt, mmmmmmhmmmmmmmm.
I can't even describe, where have you been all my life?

Hazelnut Bread
makes 1 loaf, 14 slices, 1 slice around 150 kcal.

Ingredients english: 

1 cup sunflower seeds
1/2  cup ground flax seeds
1/2 cup hazelnuts
1 and 1/2 cup (gluten) fiber oats
2 tbsp chia seeds
2 tbsp psyllium husk powder
1 tsp sea salt
1 tbsp agave syrup
3 tbsp coconut oil
10 stevia drops (alternative)
1.6 cups (330 ml) water
3 tbsp raisins

Ingredients swedish: 
2 dl solrosfrön
1 dl krossade linfrön
1 dl hasselnötter
3 dl fiberhavregryn/glutenfria havregryn
2 msk chiafrön
2 msk fiberhusk
1 tsk havssalt
1 msk agave sirap
3 msk kokosolja
10 stevia droppar (valfritt)
4 dl + 3 msk vatten
3 msk russin


Method: Chop the hazelnuts easy. Put the chopped hazelnuts and sunflower seeds, ground flax, oats, chia seeds, psyllium husk and sea salt in a large bowl.
Melt coconut oil and mix in a large mug or a bowl with the 1.6 cups (4dl) water, agave and stevia drops and blend with a spoon. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Blend well until all ingredients are combined, add the 3 tbsp water. The dough will be very hard.
When you are finished blending, pour in the raisins.
Transfer the dough to a loaf pan covered in baking paper and smooth out the top with the back of a spoon. Let the bread sit uncovered for at least 2 hours.
Preheat oven on 175C.
Place loaf pan in center of the oven on a middle rack and bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove the bread from the loaf pan and put bread upside down directly on the middle rack and bake for 30-40 minutes.
The bread is done when the entire bread is hard, check with a stick (bread stick).
Let cool of before slicing. 

Note: How quickly the bread is finished depends on what oven you have, always check with a bread stick if you are unsure if the bread is 'cooked' through.

CARAMEL SAUCE - VEGAN & (R) SUGAR FREE

I don't know what to say.. I searched around on the internet looking for a caramel sauce recipe 
(caramel is on my top list of cravings what can i say..)  I have tried with dates a couple of times but it always ends up bad. Then I found a recipe with coconut milk, and i just felt like I found my one and only. I changed the recipe a little and then this was created!
It literally taste like HEAVEN, I was shocked while I was cooking this and said to myself a couple of times ''this CAN'T be healthy, no, it can't be''. But yes it is and you seriously need to try this!  


Healthy caramel sauce:
(makes less than 1/2 cup so feel free to double the recipe)  



Ingredients: 
200 ml coconut milk (around 1 cup)
3 tbsp agave syrup 

1/2 tsb vanilla extrakt 
1 small pinch sea salt 


Method: Pour all your ingredients in a small sauce pan and put on medium-high heat. Stir well so the lumps from the coconut milk disappears and all ingredients are mixed. 
When it starts to boil just keep cooking your caramel, don't stir too much, it will take longer time for the sauce to become thick, stir occasionally. This can take up to 5-10 minutes so don't give up. 
When the sauce starts to become thick you will see it, it looks like caramel and if you drag with a spoon in the sauce pan you will see the 'ground' of it. 
Remove the heat and let the caramel cool of (still in the sauce pan) for some minutes before moving it to a jar.

Note: The caramel get's harder once cooled (perfect to bake with) so if you want it runny again heat it up in a microwave for some seconds!

It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time!





















Peanut Butter Jelly Pancake stack 

Ingredients:
1 banana (around 100g)
2 egg whites
1 tbsp coconut flour
2 tbsp oat flour
2 tbsp whole wheat flour
2 tbsp almond milk
1 tsp coconut sugar
0.7 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp pb2 (or regular peanut butter but then the calories don't match)


Method: Mash the banana with a fork then add all ingredients except the egg whites, pbs and milk.

Beat the egg whites in a separate bowl with a electric handmixer until fluffy (around 1-2 minutes) 

Carefully pour in the egg whites in the bowl with the other ingredients and fold carefully with a spoon until all ingredients are mixed (don't stir too rough that will destroy the fluffyness) Add pb2 and almond milk and stir. 
Put the batter on a pan greased with coconut oil on low-medium heat and flip.

Build a stack and create 2 layers with regular sugar free peanut butter and 2 layers with Sugar free raspberry jam (click on the link to come to the recipe for the jam) If you don't care about the calories just add more jam and peanut butter, yum!

I used 2 tbsp peanut butter (around 200kcal) and 2 tbsp sugar free jam.
Calories for just the pancakes: 297 calories.

4 Ingredient Sugar Free (Thick) Raspberry Jam

I don't know why my cravings becomes weirder and weirder but yesterday I craved... jam? 
Haha, yes. I got this brilliant idea that I should make 
a peanut butter jelly pancake stack for breakfast and for that I had to make some jam, 
so I came out with this one! 
A quick, healthy, sugar free raspberry jam!
Even my mom liked this one (and she is hard to impress).. 




Sugar Free Raspberry Jam


Ingredients for 1/2 cup (1dl) jam:
1 cup frozen raspberries -105g
1 tbsp honey (or agave/maple) - around 20g
1 and 1/2 tbsp chia seeds - 7,5g
10 vanilla extract drops 

Method: 
Put the raspberries and honey in a pot on medium heat. 
As the raspberries start to melt more and more mash the berries with a fork.
Reduce the heat to low and mash the raspberries so their isn't any lumbs left. 
Stir for about 5 minutes (still on low heat) before you add vanilla extract and chia seeds. 
Stir well so their is no dry seeds on the surface, stir for at least 2 minutes. 
Pour the jam into a glass jar and let cool of for 10 minutes before move it to the fridge.
For best taste, let it stand in the fridge over the night!
