Lemon & Coconut Bircher Muesli

This is a loose take on the bircher muesli – I guess it is more like overnight oats!

I love this healthy breakfast recipe and love the lemon flavours combined with coconut.

This recipe is refined sugar-free, nut-free, wheat-free and dairy/ soy-free too!

I hope you enjoy it xx

The best healthy Hazelnut Brownies

I have been baking healthy sweets for the past 3 years and I think these healthy hazelnut brownies are my ultimate favourites!! Sweet enough, healthy and taste like nutella when you bite into the roasted hazelnuts combined with the gooey chocolate brownies. I love them! They disappeared within one day in our house!

For the nitty gritty they are also quite allergy-friendly as they are soy-free, egg-free, dairy-free, refined sugar free and gluten-free. They are however not nut-free!

For the sceptics- you cannot taste sweet potato in baked goods!
