Triplet Baby Carrot Spiced Muffins

Published by

Wanted to bake some carrot muffin since weeks ago and finally, I decided to pull my socks up and get the carrots going. The process of grating the carrots is probably the reason for my weeks of procrastination. Been finding one good vegan recipe for the carrots muffin and decided to try the version from gkstories with turmeric in it. Sometimes, finding a good recipe depends on your luck. So many variations out there and you really have to try, in order to find the one that suits your tasting. Anyway, this is my vegan version from gkstories, try this!

Berry Chocolate Chip Scones (oil free / butter free)

These are oil free, butter free and are a healthier alternative to your classic buttery scones. Of course, if you prefer your scones to be flaky and buttery, you will need to add butter to the mix and it’s a whole different recipe. These are for those who wants a healthy “scone” with no butter added. You would probably be thinking why would people want to eat a scone if a scone doesnt taste like how a scone should be. Well, I’m one of those weirdos who prefer not to add any butter nor cream into my baked goods unless its necessary. I feel that Berry Chocolate Chip Scones adapted from deliciouslyella:) Serving : 6 scones ( I got 10 mini triangular scones) Prep time: 15mins ; Baking time: 30- 35mins 1 cup of spelt flour 1 cup almond meal 2 tbsp unsweetened apple sauce 3 tbsp maple syrup 1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk 1/2 cup of chopped fruits ( 4 strawberries + handful of blueberries + 2 tbsp dried cranberries + 2 tbsp …

Seriously, I felt like someone who is so not tech-savvy in this digital age. This is mainly the reason for my procrastination. Anyway, I finally got a hang of this whole formatting of page and what not,  hopefully it will get easier as time goes by:) Sharing something quick and easy for breakfast which includes a superfood , Maquiberry. Here is a short google research for you if you’ve not heard of maquiberry. ” Two “super berries” on the market claim to be beneficial supplements, packed with nutrients, antioxidants, omega fatty acids and fiber. Both the acai and maqui berries make health claims including detoxification and cleansing, antiaging, immune support, anti-inflammatory benefits and treatment for common issues such as sore throat and fever to more serious diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer.

Healthy living starts here

Published by

My first ever “healthy” food post on my instagram. I’ve just started on this journey months ago and honestly, I’m loving it. It’s easy to fall off the health wagon, but once you are back on this, you will not fall back. Slowly, you will feel the change in your body. Start slow and you will love it too. My body is still in the state of recovery but I’ve stopped binge eating for quite sometime and it’s amazing not to feel “guilty” after meals if you know what I mean:) Cereals and bread are so much easier to consume and it’s less risky of a taste test especially in the morning. I’m not going to emphasis on how commercially manufactured cereals and flour goods are high in sugar content which is bad for you in the long run and what not. I do buy ready-made granola bars in the supermarket still. (opps, haha) I love Nature Valley’s peanut butter & crunch:) It’s so good ~ Anyway, it’s okay to have a cheat snack once awhile. …
