Vegan Gluten Free Chocolate Cereal Clusters only 2 Ingredients

These are so easy to make! You get big cheers for making these:)
I love chocolate, but only dark, if you like milk chocolate make it with that.
You only need 2 ingredients, a crisp puffed cereal, I used Kashi Organic Morning
Indigo Morning, whole corn cereal with dehydrated dark berries.
Find a good crunch cereal that you like.

 It has a nice crunch, even when covered with dark chocolate:)
The second ingredient is chocolate, you can either use dark or milk whatever you like.

 I used chips, but you could use a bar, and chunk into pieces.

Vegan Gluten Free Chocolate Cereal Clusters
makes 15 pieces

2 cups of a crunch cereal
1 cup chocolate chips or pieces

In a double boiler on medium heat, melt chocolate slowly, when it is fully melted add cereal and mix well.
If you don't have a double boiler, find a heat proof glass bowl or ceramic bowl,
and put on top of a small stock pot with 2 inches of water, you never want the water to touch
the bowl on top.
With a spoon, scoop small balls on a plate to cool!!
These are so good!!!!!!!!
I could have ate them all;)

Put in a cool place, if they are not hardening put into the refrigerator.
They keep well in a air tight container in  the refrigerator!!
Simple recipe, but amazing and delicious flavor:)

                  

Smooth Vegan Chocolate Pudding with layered Sweet Peaches

This recipe is very fun to make.
There is something special about eating a smooth velvety cool pudding:)
I have eaten this for breakfast even!
The addition of peaches brings it to a different level.
You really never see peaches and chocolate, but it is a good combo!
If you don't have peaches or you don't like them, try a different fruit
you like.
Anything works for this recipe, even a different flavor of milk.
This recipe makes a good amount, the pan I used was 25 1/2 cm by 16 1/2 cm or
10 in by 6 1/2 inches


Smooth Vegan Chocolate Pudding with layered Sweet Peaches
serves 6 to 8 large portions or 10 to 12 smaller

5 ripe peaches
1 liter milk (I used oat milk, chocolate)
6 Tablespoons potato starch
4 Tablespoons raw sugar( you can leave out if you don't want it too sweet)
3 crisp cookies (I used gluten free)

Small stock pan pour 3/4 of the liter of milk, with the rest pour in small bowl
and mix in starch and sugar, stir until well combined.
On medium heat, heat milk until it is warm to touch and add in starch and sugar mixture.
Stir until thickened 5-7 minutes. Every stove top is different, so stir until thickened.
Remove from heat and put in bowl to cool. It should be room temperature, before assembly.
Wash peaches and slice, remove stone.
Layer the pan with half of the peach slices

Then pour the cooled pudding on top, add the rest of the peaches, and
crumble the cookies with your hands all over the top:)

Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours before serving!

When you step into the bakery it is a tiny, but full of many delicious treats.
It is pretty much all vegan, there are some sandwiches with cheese.
In the window you see kanal bullar (cinnamon rolls), I have had many vegan cinnamon rolls
they were dry and hard, and very little flavor or super tiny and costs a fortune.
Not this one, they where so soft and  full of cinnamon with a not so sweet icing.
They cost 20kr, which is really good, they are giant size. I even bought one and had it
the next day, I heated it up and spread vegan butter on top AMAZING!!!!!

 The poppy seed pastry is filled with vanilla custard. Very delicious it is flaky crust and covered with poppy seeds on top, very large piece:) cost is 20kr. They also make there own bread. The next picture is of the outside, of course these 3 guys had to sit down as I took the picture, so I will tell you what they are eating.

 It is like a calzone, a calzone is pastry that is filled with different ingredients.That day it was olive tofu,
spinach tofu, or curry tofu they cost 25kr. They also make most lushes pie, pear pecan, it is layered with pears and topped with tons of pecans, If you like pecan pie, you will love this one, even good cold the next day:) cost 30kr. The piece was large;) They also make a blomma (flower in Swedish) it is coconut oil, raisin, nuts, dates, they mix it and make it into a solid flower mold, cost 10kr
My favorite thing is the choklad  drom (chocolate dream) which is all of that.

Semper gluten free cookies, vanilla biscuits and chocolate chip cookies, vegan? review

When I found these cookies I was not sure about another gluten free cookie.
I have had so many, they are either crumbly, no taste, or hard!:(
So I bought them reluctantly. My first purchase was the vanilla biscuits!
 

I thought vanilla is safe to try:)
I was very surprised at the smell when I opened them, a wonderful vanilla aroma.
The biscuit was firm, no crumble and had a satisfying vanilla taste.
I am so delighted with these biscuits, because they are not so sweet and they have a great texture.
I could have eaten the whole box!!!!!
I could see using them as a pie crust for a yogurt pie of a fruit and cream filling,
wonderful also as a layer in a trifle:)

You get about 12, so don't eat them all at once;)
Yes, about the vegan part the box states, "May contain traces of milk."
So it all depends how strict you are as a vegan?
The end of the post I will put a link to their website.


The next one I tried was the chocolate chip cookies!

They had the same great texture as a the vanilla biscuit, but these had little chocolate chips in the cookie.
The flavor was light chocolate without the chips inside they would be to light for me.
I like a chocolate cookie that is chocolaty, the chips saved it for me:)
I would definitely recommend them!
They also travel well outside the original packaging, I put a few in plastic wrap in my pocket when I
went on a walk No crumbling :) that can be hard to find in a gluten free cookie!

You also get about 12 cookies!
They state the same thing as the vanilla biscuit for trace amount of milk!
So get your delicious cookies!!!!!!!

Delightful Pancake "Kake" or Pannkakor simple and yummy:)

This recipe comes from making pancakes for a very special friend, she loves pancakes,and she could eat them everyday if she could. When I made them for her, I decided why not layer them with filling and stack, this is how the recipe came about. These are gluten free but not vegan, they have eggs in them. I have not been able to make them thin enough without eggs. I will show you how I made it then give you the recipe:)

I used a 23 1/2 cm pan to make them you can make them what ever size you have.

Make 6 pancakes

When done I spread my desired topping for each layer.This time it was strawberry jam and strawberry yogurt(vegan) I like to put a little each layer, and I serve the filling on the side so you can put as much on as you like!

View from the top finished, I added yogurt to the top(my favorite Oatly strawberry)

Here is the way it looks cut

Now you can eat!!!!!! Smelled like strawberry cake:)

 Pancake "cake" Pannkakor

2 cups gluten free flour

2 eggs

1 cup of "milk" ( I used oatly milk)

1 1/2 cup water

few Tablespoon of  butter

desired filling and topping

Mix altogether and let sit for 10 minutes. 

Place pan on stove top on medium heat and add Tablespoon of butter once melted

you can begin making them.

Cook each side 2-3 minutes until light brown.

When they are done you can add the filling, desired amount

keep layering and filling.

You can dress the top or leave plain

My favorite gluten free flour blend I believe is the number 1 and it is from the UK

Doves Farm most of you may have never heard of it before. I discovered it when I was in the UK.

They are a family company that does fresh milling of grains to make flour and gluten free flour,they get some

of there raw materials from the Wessex area.

The bonus is that they do self rising flour,which means there is baking soda and baking powder already add.

If you have never used gluten free self rising flour it is amazing,everything comes out so perfectly done.

When I make cakes or pancakes very thing is so light and soft. The gluten free flour is a mix of different grains,the most important thing it is all ORGANIC!!!!!

They also make other things like pasta,cookies,and many more so check out there website here is the link dovesfarm.co.uk. In the UK you can buy it at most super markets or natural store. 

Please give them a try and you will not be sorry.

Doves farm ships in the EU and other places so check out the stockist on there website.

P.S. They make many things vegan!!!!!!!!!!!!
