Pancakes as a postworkout meal?! I say yes😁!! I had these today after a quite intensive one / It was a few weeks since the last so I was kind of sh..🙈😂 Check out the gallery.
These bad boys are made with spelt flour, coconut oil, chia seeds...all good stuff, right?
Here’s the recipe:
Dry ingredients
2 cups spelt flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2tsp Himalayan salt
2 tbsp chia seeds
pinch of vanilla (optional)
Cinnamon, turmeric

Wet ingredients:
1 cup oat milk (or any other plant milk) + 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
2/3 cup water
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp melted coconut oil

Method:
Sift all the dry ingredients into a bowl, and add chia seeds
Mix milk with apple cider vinegar
Mix water, coconut oil and syrup, add to dry ingredients, mixing gently. Then add milk mixture. Keep folding gently until incorporated. But be careful not to overmix the batter, some lumps are ok.
Leave it to rest at least 1 hour for best results.
Grease the pan with coconut oil and heat it. Use 2 tbsp of batter for each pancake.
Cook them for a few minutes and when they start to bubble on the surface, flip them on the other side.

Mogu li palačinke biti dobar obrok za nakon treninga? Ja kažem da😊😃 kad su napravljene od ovako hranjivih i cjelovitih sastojaka. Danas su me dočekale nakon prilično intenzivnog treninga u #adidassportsstudio u Ilici, meni najljepšeg studia u Zagrebu. A sa svim treninzima koje trebam: trx, bootie and core, pilates, spinning... pogledajte program i raspored treninga (link sam stavila u story pa se i vi prodružite😉). A subotom uživajte zanimljivim radionicama koje su besplatne. Prošlu sam održala ja, na temu čuvanja namirnica naravno uz ukusne recepte.
Evo i recept za ove palačinkice:
2 šalice pirovog brašna
1 žličica praška za pecivo
1 žličica sode bikarbone
1/2 žličice soli
2 žlice chia sjemenki
Kurkuma, cimet
2 žlice kokosovog ulja
2 šalice bademovog mlijeka + žličica jabučnog octa
2 žlice javorovog sirupa
Stavite sve suhe sastojke u zdjelu, dodajte mokre i niježno promiješajte. Pecite ih na kokosovom ulju (dvije žlice smjese za 1 palačinku). Uživajte😉

2 cups chestnut puree
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup coconut oil

Sending you hugs❤️

Kolač od kestena - prefino kremast a bez glutena i žitarica. Jako posjeća na sirovi cheese cake ali je puno laganiji jer većinu mase nose kesteni a ne indijski oraščići.
Ja sam kesten pire (nezasladjeni) kupila u Vis a Vis slastičarnici kod Uspinjače.
Evo sastojaka za slojeve:
Prvi sloj:
2 šalice badema
1 šalica datulja
3 žlice rastopljenog kokosovog ulja
Prstohvat vanilije
Prstohvat soli

Drugi sloj:
2 šalice kesten pirea
1/3 šalice javorovog sirupa
1/2 šalice rastopljenog kokosovog ulja
Prstohvat soli

čokolada:
2 žlice kokosovog ulja
3 žlice javorovog sirupa
1/3 šalice bademovog mlijeka
4-5 žlica kakaa

I love this little army😁😍 Which one would you choose? • Chocolate Chia Pudding with Choc Granola
• Raspberry Chia Pudding and • Coconut Banana Chia Pudding
And which recipe would you like?
I really love my chia, and have it most days, for breakfast or work lunch✈️ I find it to really soothe my digestion and that it does so much good for me. I do know about a few individuals though, that get bloated if they have it, so it doesn’t suit them at all. I find it really strange since chia should be amazing for intestines and digestive tract in general.
Do you eat chia regularly, and does it suit you? Let me know in comments. ✖️
Baš me veseli ova mala chia pudding vojska😁 Koji vam se najviše svidja?
Imamo:
• Čoko chia puding s čokoladnom granolom
• Chia puding s malinama i • Kokos banana chia puding.
Ispod ću napisati bazični recept a pišite koji od ovih recepata vas zanima.
Za bazični chia pudding - 1 porcija
2 do 3 žlice chia sjemenki
1/2 do 2/3 šalice biljnog mlijeka / bademovo, zobeno, kokosovo
Pomiješajte i nastavite miješati dok se ne počne zgušnjavati (oko minute). Ostavite bar pola sata da se zgusne.
Dodatci: jogurt, sirup (javorov, agavin, datuljin), vanilja, cimet, voće.
Ako vas nešto još zanima, pišite😉

Happy 19th Birthday to my beautiful amazing Klara🎂 My smart, ambitious, strong, kind and sweet daughter. I love you so much, and I am so proud of you, for the amazing person you are, and for all that you have accomplished so far♥️ I made this cake a few days ago for the first time and she loved it so much that I decided that it should be her birthday cake🎂
It is basically chocolate on chocolate: super soft and moist chocolate sponge with lots of melted chocolate chunks🍫 So I guess, what’s not to like😁?!

1/2 cup spelt flour
2 tsp baking soda

.
Danas moja Klara navršava 19 godina. Moja pametna, jaka, ambiciozna, pažljiva, mila i prekrasna kćer. Moja brucošica, moja velika sreća i ponos♥️ Sretan rodjendan mila🎂
(nemam inače običaj “sramotiti” svoje dijete na društvenim mrežama, al valjda je jednom godišnje ok😁)
Neki dan sam napravila ovaj kolač prvi put i kako se Klari jako svidio, odlučila sam da mora biti njena rodjendanska torta.
Zapravo se radi o jako sočnom čokoladnom biskvitu s puno nasjeckane čokolade. Recept je dva posta unatrag. Koristite taj recept i količine, a danas sam ga pekla u kalupu za tortu od 18 cm, 25 minuta na parnom modu u @electroluxhrvatska pećnici. Više o parnim pećnicama i zašto su super pročitajte na linku u storiju.

And a dream job, writing for Sensa. So this day truly is one of my dreams coming true🙏🏻 Thank you @izabelavrtar @sensahrvatska ♥️
.
.

Danas sam dobila priznanje #sensaloves magazina @sensahrvatska nagrade u kategorijama Clean, Natural i Health, i to za kategoriju Health. Trebam li reći koliko sam sretna i ponosna🙈♥️ Hvala @izabelavrtar i @sensahrvatska

Chocolate Chunk Chocolate Loaf Cake🍫
English below⬇️
Super čokoladni kolač s komadićima čokolade i @adezhrv bademovim mlijekom, jaaako sočan (unutra je skrivena i naribana jabuka😉), mekan, čokoladan a jednostavan za napraviti. Ja bih rekla, može i klincima za doručak😃 (naravno i vama)
Evo recept pa probajte:
Čokoladni kolač
Mokri sastojci:
1/2 šalice #adezhr bademovog mlijeka
1 žličica jabučnog octa
1/3 do 1/2 šalice agavinog sirupa
1/3 šalice rastopljenog kokosovog ulja
2 žlice lana + 6 žlica vode
Naribana jabuka

Suhi sastojci:
1/2 šalice rižinog brašna
1/2 šalice pirovog brašna
2 žličice soda bikarbone
4 žlice kakaa
1/4 žličice soli
1 žlica chia sjemenki

100g crne čokolade - nasjeckajte je na kockice oštrim nožem

Metoda:
Stavite jabučni ocat u @adezhrv bademovo mlijeko i promiješajte. Pustite da odstoji dok pripremite ostale suhe i mokre sastojke.
Sameljite lan u mlincu za kavu ili u sjeckalici (naglašavam da treba biti što finije samljeven) i pomiješajte u zdjelici s dvostruko više vode. Vidjet ćete kako lan dobiva konzistenciju razmućenog jajeta. I napomena: nemojte kupovati samljeveni lan. Lan sadrži puno omega 3 masnih kiselina koje vrlo lako oksidiraju. Drugim riječima, takav lan će brzo izgubiti nutritivne vrijednosti i užegnuti.
Pomiješajte ulje sa sirupom.
Umiješajte lan i smjesu ulja i sirupa u suhe sastojke. Lagano promiješajte, dodajte mlijeko malo po malo i ponovno promiješajte. Nemojte prežustro miješati da biskvit ne bi bio žilav.
Kad je smjesa uglavnom jednolična, umiješajte naribanu jabuku i pola nasjeckane crne čokolade.
Dobivena smjesa treba biti prilično gusta, ali da se ipak može preliti u kalup uz pomoć špatule. Slobodno isprobajte sirovu smjesu kako biste provjerili je li dovoljno slatka i ukusna.
Stavite u kalup za kruh obložen masnim papirom (ili u manji kalup drugog oblika), obilato pospite komadićima čokolade. Pecite u pećnici zagrijanoj na 175stupnjeva, 20-25min. ✖️
How does double chocolate sound to you? Yep, meaning chocolate sponge plus chocolate chunks. Now I got your attention😁
Stay tuned for the recipe (or translate from Croatian😁🙈😘)

How was your weekend guys? Mine’s been busy, but good😊 I’ve been preparing for the workshop (teaching all stuff Instagram and Social Media). And we’ve had some beauuuutiful weather here, real sunny and warm. What have you been up to?
Back to that cake...Super soft and moist sponge tasting of vanilla, hazelnut and carrot with a rich cashew vanilla frosting. Convinced yet?

Prefini kolač od mrkve s lješnjacima i vanilijom. Zainteresirani😃
Recept je na blogu i jedan je od mojih najpopularnijih recepata. Link je u opisu profila pa povirite. I na hrvatskom. Ja ga uvijek pečem na #plussteam modu u svojoj @electroluxhrvatska pećnici jer bude još sočniji i bolje se digne.
Kako ste proveli ovaj prekrasni vikend? Meni je bio radan, pripremala sam se za edukacije o Instagramu i društvenim mrežama koje držim sutra i prekosutra. Ima li vas još koje zanima naučiti više o blogingu, Instagramu, fotografiji... i svemu drugome od čega se sastoji ovaj posao? Pišite😉
