About me

Having spent the last decade in five different countries, I have gotten to know a lot of new ingredients, cooking methods and recipes. But through these experiences, I have also developed a more personal relationship to food and learned what I like to eat and make. I am all about simple good food, a whole-grain approach to all kinds of baking, avoiding unnecessary fusion, and not using any fat-reduced dairy products. Among other things.

Back to school snack - sneaky-healthy wholegrain muffins!

I bake these for my very picky 7-yearold and he has no clue what hits him when he eats these bad boys pretty much every day for school snack. These muffins look like basic vanilla muffins, but they are filled with lots of wholegrain goodness! The secret is all about hiding the good stuff under a layer of sprinkles. Not ideal, but what are you going to do....


Bake in 180 degrees C for around 20-25 minutes as muffins (or around 30-35 minutes in large, flat, greased baking tin and cut into smaller pieces when cool).

¾  cup white flour
¼  cup whole wheat or spelt flour
½ cup ground flaxseed
½ cup wheat germ  
1 cup brown sugar (or ½ cup brown sugar and ½ cup stevia)
1 tsp salt
3 tsp baking powder
½ tsp bourbon vanilla powder
1 egg
¾ cup milk
1/3 cup cold pressed vegetable oil (macademia or sunflower seed)
Multi-colored sprinkles 

Combine dry ingredients. Mix wet ingredients in the main mixing bowl. Fold the dry ingredients in the wet until just combined. Pour in baking tin or muffin liners. Just before going into the oven, add sprinkles on top to make them 100% irresistible even to the most sensitive palates (well, eyes maybe)!
