BLACK 'N' WHITE ALMOND BUTTER MUFFINS // vegan / oil free / salt free

It was time for some muffins. It's been 3 weeks since the last batch entered the oven and our mouths. And I LOVE muffins so so much. They are the perfect mid-morning or afternoon pick-me-up when you need something sweet. And they're portable, too! Unlike their big friend, the cupcake, there is no messed up frosting all over your bag. I mean, I also love cupcakes of course, but there is something about muffins that's just a little bit more adorable.

HOMEMADE COCONUT YOGHURT // vegan / gluten free / soy free

My first attempt on making coconut yoghurt was a major fail. It did not thicken or get the "fresh" yoghurt-like taste the probiotics develop. It was coconut milk with sugar and a weird smell to it.

Being very discouraged, I never tried making it again (and totally forgot about it, too) until a few days ago. 

I recently moved out from home (*insert crying emoji*) to Germany's vegan capital: Berlin. I'm sharing my apartment with 3 others: one fellow vegan, one paleo-vegan (who eats eggs) and a vegetarian. You see, a lot is going on in our kitchen! 

One night, I talked to my flatmate and he mentioned he wanted to try making coconut yogurt. The former disaster shortly crossed my mind but after a quarter of a second I was all in. 

He had already gotten the probiotics and I brought arrowroot starch with me (along with a million of other things you use once a year to make fancy schmancy stuff but hey - thanks to my food messieness we had a starch to work with) when I moved in. 

PEANUT BUTTER CHOC CHIP MUFFINS // vegan / oil free / soy free

Woa. These are ah-may-zing. 

When I turned 18, my best friends got me a gift coupon on of my favorite restaurants around here. They serve delicious thai food on a very high standard. We had some problems finding a time when everybody was free (I'm moving to Berlin and they're moving as well) but we arranged a lunch date today. 

Yesterday evening Jule asked me if I had any healthy dessert left around but unfortunately I hadn't (or shall I say fortunately because that's why I made these?). However, that only motivated me to make these super moist and easy vegan muffins your family and friends are going to fall in LOVE with. I promise. They're inspired by a recipe the gorgeous Tess Begg posted on her YouTube a few days ago. Make sure to check that out as well for a video demonstration.
