I've been trying to make healthier choices recently and one of them involved me to stop buying chocolate and biscuits for my 'midnight drawer'. Yes, I used to have one. Don't judge. However, I'm still a girl, and that time of the month has to involve sweet treats, otherwise I turn into a monster. So, with no chocolate and biscuits in sight, I had to get a little creative. Thankfully, Pinterest saved me again with its Nutella cake in a mug recipe, but to switch things up I replaced Nutella with JimJams, an equally delicious hazelnut chocolate spread that contains a lot less sugar, is gluten free and even diabetic friendly. I'm a total convert and will definitely be trying out their low sugar jams as well. 

For the cake in a mug, you need four ingredients only and three minutes of your time tops. All you need to do is take a mug and mix in 3 tbsp of JimJams Hazelnut Chocolate Spread, 3 tbsp of white flour, 6 tbsp of milk and 1/2 tsp of baking powder. Once your mixture is thoroughly stirred, it can be put in a microwave on full power for a minute a half and that's literally it. Perfect for the days when you need your sugar RIGHT. NOW. Do you have any delicious 'cake in a mug' recipes to share with me? 

Last week, on the 25th of March, it was Mother's Day in my country. I was planning to go buy some chocolate and flowers for my mom, but because I got snowed in, I had to come up with something else. The first thing that popped into my head were muffins and when I figured out that I had all the ingredients I needed at home, it was time for the next step - baking!

Muffins are the easiest pastry you can make, as you literally just throw all the ingredients together and put the mixture into an oven. For these muffins I used: 220 g of white flour, 70 g of sugar, 2 tsp of baking powder, 1/4 tsp of salt, 1 beaten egg, 1/2 dl of milk, 1/2 dl of oil, 2 ripe mashed bananas, 50 g of chocolate chips, and 50 g of diced walnuts.

I first gathered all the ingredients and then put flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in one big bowl. In another other bowl, I combined a beaten egg, milk, oil, bananas, chocolate chips and walnuts, and then threw this mixture into the first, bigger bowl. After I thoroughly mixed everything together with a spoon, I scooped the mixture into a muffin tray and baked on 190°C for 20 minutes. The muffins turned out super delicious! Will you try making these as well?
