APPLE & CHOCOLATE BREAKFAST MUFFINS – vegan, refined sugar-free, gluten-free option
Many people tell me that they are here for my recipes; some because they want to eat plant-based, some because they have an intolerance or allergy or want to cut back on this or that, for health benefits or to try something new. Some are here for inspiration and some because it is a family…
5-INGREDIENT CHOCOLATE CHIA PUDDING – a delicious gluten-free, vegan breakfast treat
Happy weekend, all! This recipe comes to you as a result of requests from some patient, kind folks who attempted to find this in my Instagram gallery (from around a year ago), and did not succeed. Here is the recipe in its entirety, along with an apology for not having it up here earlier! This…
ONE-BOWL ORANGE JUICE & POPPY SEED CAKE – vegan, refined sugar-free, gf option
By popular request, I am sharing this luscious, super-easy, light-enough-for-breakfast cake recipe (in both Swedish and English) here, as it appeared on my Instagram stories the other day for a 24-hour period only.

Before we get to this most simple and tasty of pasta recipes, I want to chat about a couple of things (skip ahead if this bores you, I don’t mind!). Firstly, I have been sadly absent here for far too long. As always, when I am away from this blog for any length of time,…
PEACH & STRAWBERRY MUFFIN BAKED OATS (+ a couple of foodie reflections on Byron Bay)
Firstly, a Happy Easter Monday to all who are celebrating! The recipe that follows below is simple, delicious breakfast treat; one that definitely errs on the side of wholesome in the midst of chocolate-drenched April.

ACAI & BERRY PORRIDGE BOWL
This acai-boosted porridge bowl is a variation on my standard blueberry overnight oats. I used to tote overnight oats to the office in a mason jar before going on maternity leave. They were my go-to pregnancy breakfast option and toting was convenient, but I can assure you my shaken-around-oats-in-a-jar never looked pretty by the time I sat…
