1 tsk malen kanel

1 tsk malen kardemumma

1 tsk malen ingefära

1 tsk bakpulver

1 tsk bikarbonat

1 krm malen kanel

3/4 dl vatten

1 nypa salt

Topping

50 gram valnötter

Torkat blomströssel, valfritt

Gör såhär

Kanelcashewsås: Blötlägg cashewnötterna i vatten över natten (för en snabbare version blötlägg i kokhett vatten i 30 minuter), skölj av och mixa sedan tills helt slätt tillsammans med resten av ingredienserna.

Värm ugnen till 175°C.

Banankaka: Blanda alla torra ingredienser utom chiafrön i en bunke. Skala och mosa bananerna med en gaffel. Värm upp havredrycken och blanda med chiafröna, låt svälla i 5 minuter. Blanda ner i den torra blandningen tillsammans med bananerna och oljan, vänd runt så att allt blandas samman.

Täck botten i en kvadratisk bakform med bakplåtspapper, olja kanterna med rapsolja. Häll i smeten. Grädda mitt i ugnen i 45-50 minuter, tills banankakan blivit vackert gyllene. Ta ut och låt svalna i 5 minuter, vänd sedan upp kakan på ett bakgaller och låt svalna helt. Skär upp i fyrkanter. 

Rosta valnötterna i en torr, medelhet stekpanna tills de börjar dofta nötigt och blir vackert gyllene. Låt svalna.

Servera bananbrödet toppat med en klick kanelcashewsås, rostade valnötter och lite blomströssel.

Banana cake with cinnamon cashew sauce and toasted walnuts

14 pieces

Banana cake

3 dl oat flour

2 1/2 dl buckwheat flour

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp ground cardamom

1 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

1 tsp flakey salt

1 1/2 oat mylk, or any other plant mylk

3 Tbsp chia seeds

3 small bananas

1/2 dl cold pressed olive oil

Cinnamon cashew sauce

1 dl cashew nuts, soaked over night or at least 4 hours

4 fresh dates

1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

3/4 dl water

1 pinch of flakey salt

Topping

50 g walnuts

Dried flower sprinkle, optional

How to

Soak the cashew nuts over night, or for at least 4 hours (for a quicker version soak in boiling hot water for 30 minutes). Rinse with water and then mix until completely smooth with the rest of the ingredients in a blender.

Pre heat the oven to 175°C.

Banana cake: Mix all the dry ingredients, except for the chia seeds, in a mixing bowl. Peel the bananas using a fork. Pre heat the oat mylk and blend with the chia seeds, let sit for 5 minutes. Add to the dry mixture along with the bananas and oil, fold everything together using a wooden spoon.

Cover the bottom in a baking tin. Grease the sides of the tin with oil. Put the batter in the pin. Bake in the middle of the oven for 45-50 minutes, until the cake is golden brown. Take out the cake the oven and let cool for 5 minutes, then turn upside down to remove from the baking tin to cool completely . Cut in to squares or any other pieces.

Toast the walnuts in a dry frying pan on medium heat until lightly golden. Let cool.

Serve the banana cake topped with the cinnamon cashew sauce and walnuts. Sprinkle with dried flower sprinkle.

Ginger bread parsnip cake with yoghurt frosting, candied walnuts and dried lingonberries

- In collaboration with Electrolux -

The ultimate winter feast cake! I’m using lots of flavours reminding me of winter to get that christmassy touch. Also, try switch parsnips for carrots if that’s what you have at home - or a combination of the two. A perfect way to use those last few carrots you find in the fridge.

Happy baking, and happy winter fika to you!

This Christmas I’ve partnered up with Swedish brand Electrolux to share a few of my favourite holiday baked goods (also check out my LUSSEKATTER), but also a creamy pumpkin soup with salad topping and a frothy carrot smoothie with tahini! Also I aim to inspire you to prepp your kitchen with the must-have-appliances which will help you get even more creative in the kitchen and cook even more yummy food - easy as 1 - 2 -3 . As Electrolux since their beginning have been creating products that make home life a little bit easier and a whole lot better, aims to create a better future PLUS works a lot on sustainable eating (and to inspire people to eat more plant based) it felt like a p-e-r-f-e-c-t match to team up.

You’ll see more of Electrolux and myself together throughout 2020 and I cannot wait to share it with you. And Ps. For this recipe I’ve used their Kitchen Assistant, makes baking easier for sure! Also I’ve got a green one and it’s really pretty.

Ginger bread parsnip cake with yoghurt frosting, candied walnuts and dried lingonberries

Makes 14-16 pieces

Ingredients

4 1/2 dl oat flour

2 1/2 dl oat buckwheat flour

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp ground cardamom

1 tsp ground ginger

1 pinch ground cloves

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

1 tsp flakey salt

2 dl oat mylk

3 msk chia seeds

3 1/2 dl parsnip, grated and loosely packed

3/4 dl maple syrup

2 1/2 dl apple mash

Candied walnuts

1 dl walnuts

1 Tbsp maple syrup

1 pinch flakey salt

For serving

Thick plant yoghurt

Dried lingonberries *, or cranberries

Dried flowers, optional

Maple syrup

How to

Mix all the dry ingredients. Bring the oat milk to a boil, remove from heat and add the chia seeds. Stir to avoid chia seeds from clumping. Let sit while you grate the parsnip.

Add parsnip to the flour mix and start your kitchen assistant to combine. Add chia seed mix, parsnip, maple syrup and apple mash. 

Pre heat oven to 175°C. Line a round baking tin with baking paper in the bottom (I use a spring form pan with removable sides to make it easier to remove the cake after baking). Spread out the batter in the tin / pan. Bake in the oven for 50 minutes. Let cool.

Roughly chop the walnuts. Toast them in a dry pan on medium heat, when starting to smell nutty add the maple syrup and fry for another minute. Sprinkle with salt, remove from heat and put the walnuts on a plate. Let cool.

Top the cake with yoghurt, candied walnuts and dried lingonberries. Sprinkle dried flower on top and finish off by drizzling with maple syrup.

* Hey! Dry your own lingonberries! Toss 1 package of frozen lingonberries with 1/2 tsp rapeseed oil and put on a baking tray. Dry in the oven at 50° over night, or until dry.

Golden hummus bowl with red cabbage, tahini dressed carrots and blood orange

Hummus bowl might be my favourite go to of all times. It’s the perfect creamy base to top all sorts of roasted, marinated and raw veggies and leafy greens with!

Furthermore a hummus bowl can be made in so many ways. Firstly the hummus base can be made of not only chickpeas but also white beans, yellow peas, green peas and red lentils (which technically means it’s not a “real” hummus, but you get my point!) to mention a few - and you can season it with different spices; cumin/chili/turmeric/herbs are a few of my favourites.

As mentioned above the bowl can be topped with pretty much all veggies you can think of - choose what’s in season and/or what you find at home. Also, adding some nuts and raw shredded veggies gives that little extra finish the the whole thing. And add some cooked grain for an even more filling meal.

Now - let’s get cooking!

Golden hummus bowl with red cabbage, tahini dressed carrots and blood orange

Serves 4

Golden hummus base

2 packages (á 230 grams drained weight) cooked chickpeas

2 Tbsp light tahini

1 dl / 0.4 cups water

1 tsp ground turmeric

salt and freshly ground black pepper

Topping

1/2 red cabbage

400 grams carrots

100 grams kale, chopped

1 blood orange

1 handful of walnuts

Tahini dressing

1/2 dl light tahini

3 Tbsp water

2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 pinch of chili flakes

salt to taste

How to

Scrub the carrots and cut in smaller pieces. Slice the cabbage. Steam* for about 10 minutes, until the veggies are soft but still have that al dente bite to them. Mix all the ingredients for the tahini dressing, salt to taste, toss with the carrots.

Rinse and drain the chickpeas. Mix tahini and water until creamy. Add the rest of the ingredients for the hummus and mix until creamy. Salt and pepper to taste.

Massage the kale with oil and a pinch of salt until soft and silky. Slice the blood orange.

Spread out the hummus in 4 bowls. Top with a handful of left greens, kale, cabbage and carrots. Top with walnuts and sprinkle some extra chili flakes.

* This time I steamed both my cabbage and carrots, both because it takes only a few minutes and I was very hungry when cooking. If you have more time, and want your cabbage and carrots to get that delicious crisp to it I’d suggest you roast them in the oven at 175 °C / 350 °F for about 25 minutes instead!

The secret berry smoothie bowl

I love smoothie bowls. Because a) they are creamy and smooth 2) you can top with tons of things you love 3) they can be done in sooo many ways!! Usually I wouldn’t make a smoothie bowl during cold winter BUT I’ve had an revelation when it comes to smoothie bowls.

After years of making them smoothie bowls I just made my first one with CAULUFLOWER as the base. It’s AWSOME! The cauliflower gives that creamy touch, but without any cauliflower taste (I love cauliflower, but probably wouldn’t appreciate it in my morning smoothie bowl). A way of making a more locally produced smoothie bowl for me where I live, since we don’t have any bananas near by. LIKE IT A LOT!

Buy your organic cauliflower, tear it in to smaller florets, steam it for 10 minutes, let it cool and then freeze it. OR buy already frozen cauliflower from the grocery store!!

Now, let’s make a smoothie bowl! And cuddle up under a duvet when eating if it’s winter outside when you read this!

Secret berry smoothie bowl

Serves 1

Ingredients

100 g steamed and frozen cauliflower

125 g mixed berries, like blueberries and raspberries

1 Tbsp seed butter or nut butter, like tahini or almond butter

1 dl / 0.4 cups unsweetened plant mylk

1 Tbsp fresh ginger, grated

1 Tbsp berry powder, optional

Topping suggestions

seasonal fruit/berries

coconut yoghurt

dried flowers

walnuts

hemp seeds

How to

Thaw the cauliflower for 10 minutes. Mix all the ingredients in a blender until REALLY creamy! Maybe add a bit more plant mylk if it’s too thick for your taste or not smooth enough. Pour in a bowl, top with your favourite things. Preferably a lot of things. ENJOY!
