A Little Love Letter

These blueberry banana cupcakes are the kind of bake that instantly fills your kitchen with the scent of something cozy and inviting. They’re incredibly soft and light, made with ripe mashed bananas that add natural sweetness and moisture, and pockets of juicy blueberries that burst gently as they bake. Each bite feels fresh and bright, yet comforting in that nostalgic, homemade way.

What makes them truly special is how effortless they are: simple ingredients, a quick batter, and a result that tastes far more impressive than the time it takes to make them. They’re the kind of cupcakes you can whip up on a slow Sunday morning or bring to a last-minute gathering—and they’ll always feel like a thoughtful, homemade treat.

Once cooled, they’re topped with a silky, slightly tangy cream cheese frosting that pairs beautifully with the fruitiness of the cupcakes. It adds just the right amount of richness without overpowering the delicate flavors. Together, it’s a combination that feels both light and indulgent—perfect for brunch, spring and summer celebrations, or any moment that needs a little piece of happiness baked into it.

GOOD TO HAVE ON HAND

  • cupcake tin
  • baking paper
  • large bowl
  • medium bowl
  • hand mixer

 

Ingredients

Units Scale
CUPCAKES
  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 50 milliliters coconut oil
  • 80 grams agave syrup
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 180 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 160 grams frozen blueberries
FROSTING
  • 230 grams cream cheese
  • 250 grams yogurt
  • 50 milliliters agave syrup
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup cupcake tin with baking paper and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork to a mash. Mix in the coconut oil, agave syrup, egg and vanilla.
  3. Now add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt to the bowl and mix everything together until a creamy dough forms, do not overmix. Fold in the blueberries but set aside about 1 tablespoon of them for later.
  4. Fill the cupcake tins about 2/3 full. Now bake for 16 minutes. I bake them in two batches of 6 so that the cupcakes have more room to rise.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare the cream cheese frosting. Place the cream cheese, yoghurt, agave syrup, vanilla extract and lemon juice in a mixing bowl and beat with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form and a firm cream has formed,
  6. Take the cupcakes out of the oven and leave to cool on a wire rack. As soon as the cupcakes are at room temperature, the frosting can be spread on top. Warm the remaining blueberries in a small pot or in the microwave until they turn into a sauce. Let it cool and pour the sauce over the cupcakes just before serving.

Welcome to the delightful world of Roasted Pumpkin with Garlic Yogurt Sauce and Pistachios. This dish is a perfect amalgamation of sweet, earthy pumpkin, enriched with a tangy and creamy garlic yogurt sauce, and finished with a sprinkle of crunchy pistachios. It’s an ideal recipe for those seeking a nutritious yet indulgent addition to their meal, blending the warmth of winter flavors with a touch of elegance.

Serve this exquisite dish as a stunning side or a main course. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats or can stand alone for a satisfying vegetarian option. The creamy garlic yogurt sauce complements the soft, caramelized pumpkin, while the pistachios add a delightful crunch. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor. It’s best enjoyed warm, making it a comforting choice for chilly evenings or festive gatherings.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warm. It’s recommended to store the pumpkin and garlic yogurt sauce separately to maintain the best texture and flavor when enjoying it later.

The combination of crisp apple, refreshing cucumber, creamy Brie, and lean turkey not only makes it delicious but also ensures you get essential nutrients. Easy to assemble and perfect for a flavorful energy boost.

Store this sandwich in an airtight container to keep it fresh. The layer of lettuce between the ingredients, especially the cucumber, acts as a barrier and prevents moisture from reaching the other ingredients.

Print Recipe

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • cheese grater
  • two medium pots
  • fine mesh strainer
  • hand blender

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 shallots
  • 1-2 garlic cloves
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp risotto rice
  • 200 grams parmesan (or grana padano)
  • 300 milliliter vegetable stock
  • 300 grams heavy cream
  • 70 milliliter dry white wine
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • truffle oil
  • fresh parsley

Instructions

PREPARATIONS

  • Slice the shallots into thin rings.
  • Peel the garlic and cut it into thin slices.
  • Finely grate the Parmesan.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Melt butter in a pot and sauté the risotto rice, shallots, and garlic for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they look glossy and smell amazing.
  2. Add broth and white wine to the pot, bring it to a boil, and let it reduce over medium heat for about 10 minutes until the liquid is halved.
  3. Pour in the cream, toss in the grated Parmesan, and stir gently over the lowest heat until the cheese is melted. Be careful not to overheat – it’s all about that smooth, creamy vibe.
  4. Once the risotto rice is soft, blend the soup with a hand blender until it’s silky smooth.
  5. Strain the soup through a fine mesh strainer into another pot. You’ll end up with a little clump of risotto and Parmesan left in the sieve that can be tossed and don’t forget to scrape off the bottom of the strainer for extra flavor! Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve with a few drops of truffle oil and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.

Imagine a delicious dip with crispy bacon, sweet caramelized onions, and tangy pickles. Mixed with yogurt, mayo, garlic, and a bit of dill, it’s a tasty combination. Perfect for dipping, every bite is like a simple fairy tale of flavor. You can create a lower-calorie and lower-fat version by replacing mayonnaise with yogurt entirely, opting for 0.1% fat yogurt, and substituting regular bacon with the low-fat one.

Make your gathering extra special with a tasty dip. Perfect for buffets or BBQs, serve it with bread, potato chips, or baguette slices. Every bite brings a mix of flavors, making it a hit for casual get-togethers or snack time.

For optimal storage of a yogurt-based dip, keep it in a sealed container in the refrigerator. This ensures its freshness and prevents the absorption of other fridge odors. Let the dip cool to room temperature before refrigerating. Avoid freezing, as this can alter the texture. When serving again, gently stir to restore the original consistency. Remember, yogurt-based dips are best enjoyed within a few days to savor their peak flavor and quality.

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • cutting board
  • sharp knife
  • small pan
  • medium bowl
  • spoon

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 yellow onions
  • 4 pickles
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 150 grams greek yogurt
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 125 grams bacon
  • 1 tsp dill (fresh or dried)
  • 1/8 tsp white pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Place the bacon in a cold pan without adding any more fat and fry over a medium heat until crispy. If the bacon gets hot together with the pan and is not placed directly in a hot pan, the fat from the bacon will come out during frying.
  2. Meanwhile cut the onion and the pickles into very small pieces.
  3. Leave the excess fat from bacon in the pan and transfer the bacon to a medium bowl and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, fry the onion pieces in the bacon fat over a medium heat until golden brown until they start to caramelize slightly. Set the pan aside and allow the onion pieces to cool slightly.
  5. Add all the remaining ingredients to the bacon in the bowl and mix well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. The dip tastes best with a fresh baguette or potato chips.
