COOKING

1. In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork to a mash. Mix in the coconut oil, agave syrup, egg and vanilla.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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,

5. Take the cupcakes out of the oven and leave to cool on a wire rack.

6. 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.

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

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.

How to serve:
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.

How to store:
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.

ACTIVE: 10 min

PASSIVE: 10 min

COOKING

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. Leave the excess fat in the pan and transfer the bacon to a medium bowl and set aside.

2. 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.

3. 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.
