Coconut Banana Muffin Recipe

by Leave a Comment

If you have a sweet tooth, and you want to enjoy a treat that is free of refined sugar, this naturally sweetened coconut banana muffin recipe is a real treat for you.

I was inspired by cookieandkatie.com to bake this delicious muffin recipe. I adjusted couple of things to make this already perfect recipe even more perfect 🙂

For those who love coconut you will absolutely love this muffin recipe! These muffins are rich in coconut flavour, yet when you bite in you´ll still taste a banana flavour, which is an interesting addition to this muffin recipe.  So if you like a combination of banana and coconut, I´m sure you´ll fall in love with this sweet, bright flavour and contrasting textures in these little treats!

I don´t know how about you, but I gotta be in a good mood when baking my treats. Make sure you´re too, and then it will guarantee you´ll have an absolutely delicious result.

The original recipe by cookieandkatie.com uses a table spoon of sugar, however, I decided not to, I only used a coconut sugar to sprinkle on the top of the muffins. It gives it a nice sweet flavour to it. So feel free to use it or not and if you want a bit sweeter taste in muffins, then add one or two table spoons of coconut sugar in the batter.

This delicious muffin recipe is perfect for breakfast, brunch, snack time, you name it! Just get yourself in a good mood and get ready for baking!

Baked Chicken and Quinoa recipe with Parmesan and Tomato Sauce

by Leave a Comment

Baked chicken and quinoa recipe is a very easy, quick and healthy lunch or dinner recipe you can prepare for your friends and family. You can find the recipe below.

Quinoa, pronounced as ‘keen-wa’ is a great wheat-free alternative to starchy grains. This grain is one of the world´s most popular super foods.  Quinoa is not only gluten-free, but also high in protein and contains all nine essential amino acids. It´s also high in many minerals and vitamins, such as fiber, magnesium, iron, potassium, phosphorus, Vitamin E, etc.

There are 2 types: Red and White. Both are grown in South America (Peru, Bolivia and Chile). It´s a healthy substitute to rice, couscous or bulgur.

Benefits of Quinoa

High in protein and all amino essential acids

Quinoa is most famous for being one of the only plant foods that provides complete proteins, offering all essential amino acids. One cup contains 8 g of protein.

High in fiber

One cup of cooked quinoa contains 21 % of the recommended daily intake of fiber, which is great  for your gut. Quinoa is also more easily digestible than many other grains.

Gluten-free

Quinoa is naturally gluten-free, therefore it is perfect for gluten-free diets. Studies have shown that by using this grain instead of typical gluten-free ingredients like refined tapioca, potato, corn and rice flour, it can largely increase the nutrient and antioxidant value of the diet.

Anti-inflammatory benefits

According to some studies, quinoa may help decrease the risk of many types of inflammation diseases. Nutrients in this grain help promote healthy gut microbes, which is important for preventing obesity, inflammation and disease.

Provides good metabolic health

Thanks to the high amount of beneficial nutrients, this amazing grain helps to improve metabolic health. Substituting other gluten-free products like bread or past with quinoa can significantly reduce blood sugar and insulin.

Great for heart health

This grain has a high level of heart healthy fats. It contains about 4 g of fat per cup and contains no trans-fats. 25% of fat in quinoa is oleic acid (healthy monounsaturated fat), 8% is alpha-linolenic acid (type of omega-3). Alpha-linolenic acid has been shown to decrease risk of heart attacks.

Recipe Notes

Preparation:

  1. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius (350 deg. Fahrenheit).
  2. Prepare 2 bowls. In one combine flour, baking soda and salt. In the other mix ghee butter or coconut oil, honey, add eggs and bananas and blend it together (I used kitchen robot). Stir both (flour and banana) mixtures together and batter it into a loaf pan which you grease before with oil or butter.
  3. 3. Bake in the oven for about 55 minutes. You can check it if it´s done well with inserting a toothpick into bread, if it comes up clean, it´s done!

I really hope you´ll try this out. It´s even healthier and still tasty if you don´t put any sugar or honey. Optional are dried fruits which could substitute the sweet flavour. You can also serve it for guests as a dessert or take it to your work as a post-lunch snack. Or just kill your sweet cravings!

Bon appetite!
