    Blueberry Flax Muffins with Oat Bran and Lemon Zest

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients

    • 1 1/2 cups (180 g) oat bran
    • 1/2 cup (60 g) flaxseed meal
    • 1/2 cup (60 g) whole wheat flour (or gluten-free flour, if preferred)
    • 1/4 cup (50 g) coconut sugar or another diabetic-friendly sweetener
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • Zest of 1 lemon
    • 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened applesauce or Greek yogurt
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/2 cup (120 ml) almond milk (or any milk of choice)
    • 1 cup fresh blueberries (plus a few extra for topping)
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for extra lemon flavor)

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    1. Preheat the Oven

    Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing the cups to prevent sticking. This step ensures that your muffins bake evenly and release easily from the tin.

    2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the following dry ingredients:

    •  Oat bran
    • Flaxseed meal
    • Whole wheat flour
    • Coconut sugar
    • Baking powder
    • Baking soda
    • Salt
    • Ground cinnamon
    • Lemon zest

    The combination of oat bran and flaxseed meal provides a great source of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, while the lemon zest adds a refreshing burst of citrus flavor that complements the blueberries.

    3. Prepare the Wet Ingredients

    In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy. Then, mix in the unsweetened applesauce (or Greek yogurt), vanilla extract, and almond milk. If you prefer a stronger lemon flavor, add the lemon juice at this stage. The applesauce or Greek yogurt provides moisture and ensures the muffins remain tender and fluffy.

    4. Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be sure to stir gently to avoid overmixing, as overworking the batter can result in denser muffins. The batter should be just combined with some lumps remaining—this ensures a light texture in the final product.

    Next, gently fold in the fresh blueberries, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. Reserve a few extra blueberries for topping the muffins later.

    5. Fill the Muffin Tin

    Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. This gives the muffins enough room to rise and develop a nice dome. Top each muffin with a few extra blueberries for an eye-catching presentation and an extra burst of flavor.

    6. Bake

    Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Baking times may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on the muffins after the 18-minute mark.

    Once baked, allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents them from becoming soggy on the bottom while cooling.

    7. Serve and Store

    These Blueberry Flax Muffins with Oat Bran and Lemon Zest can be enjoyed fresh out of the oven or stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They are perfect with a morning coffee or as a healthy snack on the go. For longer storage, freeze the muffins for up to 2 months. To enjoy later, simply reheat in the microwave for a warm, fresh-from-the-oven experience.

    Tips for Success

    • Topping Ideas: For added crunch, sprinkle a bit of ground flaxseeds or a few oats on top of each muffin before baking. This enhances both texture and appearance.
    • Make It Gluten-Free: For those with gluten sensitivity, substitute the whole wheat flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure that the other ingredients, such as oat bran, are certified gluten-free if necessary.
    • Diabetic-Friendly Sweeteners: While coconut sugar provides a subtle caramel flavor and lower glycemic index than regular sugar, you can use other sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit sweetener, or erythritol for even lower sugar content.

    Incorporate Semolina and Let It Rest

    Add two tablespoons of semolina to the mixture and mix it in. Cover the bowl with cling film and let it rest for 20 minutes. This resting period allows the flavors to meld together.

    Form and Fry the Meatballs

    After the resting time, take small portions of the vegetable mixture and shape them into small balls. In a pan, heat some vegetable oil and fry the zucchini meatballs for about 4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.

    Prepare the Flavorful Sauce
    Create the Delicious Sauce

    In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by mixing two tablespoons of sour cream, two tablespoons of mayonnaise, two teaspoons of smoked paprika powder, and two teaspoons of dried garlic. This sauce will complement the zucchini meatballs perfectly.

  • Vanilla cream rolls

    Vanilla cream rolls

    Vanilla cream rolls

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients

    For the custard cream (crema pastiera):

    • 3 egg yolks
    • 3 tablespoons 30 gr of all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup 100 gr of sugar
    • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
    • 8 oz 235 ml of milk

    For the cannoncini:

    • 1 sheet of puff pastry defrosted (about 8 oz, 225 gr)
    • 1/4 cup 50 gr of sugar
    • 1 egg for egg wash
    • powdered sugar to decorate

    Instructions

    Start by preparing the custard cream (crema pastiera):

    • Warm up the milk until hot (not boiling).
    • In a medium-sized pan, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar, vanilla extract, and flour, until light and fluffy.
    • Add the milk some at a time while whisking, making sure there are no lumps.
    • Set the pan over mediocre heat and stir continuously until it reaches a slow boil. The cream will thicken, so be careful not to let it stick to the bottom. Lower the flame and cook for a couple of more minutes, until you reach the desired thickness.
    • Pour the cream into a glass bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it cool down. Chill for at least one hour.

    For the pastry horns:

    • Preheat the furnace to 400°F (200°C).
    • Spray some sugar on the counter and on top of the puff pastry and roll it out to a rectangle about 9 by 12 inches.
    • Cut into 12 strips (about 1 inch thick). Easy way to do it: cut the pastry into three parts, and then each part into four strips.
    • Roll each strip onto a horn mold (conical in shape). The pastry has to overlap (about half of the length).
    • Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper with seem (end of the strip) side down.
    • Beat one egg with one tablespoon of water. Brush lightly each pastry cone with the egg wash.
    • Make sure you keep the egg wash away from the mold. It will make it harder to remove the pastry horn from the mold once baked.
    • Bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes until golden on top.
    • Let them cool down for a couple of minutes and gently remove from the mold.

    Decadent Caramelized Apple Walnut Cake Recipe

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients

    For the Dough:

    • 5 large eggs
    • 150g sugar (3/4 cup)
    • 8g vanilla sugar (2 tsp)
    • A pinch of salt
    • 160g all-purpose flour (1 cup)
    • 1 tsp baking powder
    • 120g walnuts, chopped (1 cup)

    For the Caramelized Apples:

    • 3 medium apples (preferably tart varieties like Granny Smith)
    • 45g sugar (3 tbsp)
    • 1 tbsp honey
    • 50g unsalted butter (2 tbsp)
    • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
    • 1 tbsp lemon juice

    For the Cream:

    • 600g cream cheese (2.5 cups, at room temperature)
    • 600g heavy cream (3 cups, 33% fat, cold)
    • 395g caramelized sweetened condensed milk (1.2 cups)
    • 395g sweetened condensed milk with cocoa (1.2 cups)

    Instructions

    Preparing the Dough:

    1. Preheat your oven to 356°F (180°C). Grease and line a 24 cm (9.5-inch) round baking pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the cake later.
    2. Whisk the Eggs and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar, and a pinch of salt. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on high speed until it becomes light, fluffy, and pale yellow. This should take about 5-7 minutes. The volume of the mixture should nearly triple.
    3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry mixture to the egg mixture, gently folding it in with a spatula. This will help retain the airiness of the batter. Be careful not to overmix.
    4. Add the Walnuts: Gently fold the chopped walnuts into the batter until evenly distributed. The walnuts will add a delightful crunch and nutty flavor to the cake.
    5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. The top should be golden brown, and the cake should spring back when touched lightly. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

    Preparing the Caramelized Apples:

    1. Peel and Dice the Apples: Start by peeling the apples. Then, core and dice them into small, bite-sized pieces. The size of the  apple pieces should be consistent to ensure even caramelization.
    2. Caramelize the  Apples: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the sugar, honey, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir until the sugar dissolves and begins to caramelize, turning a light amber color.
    3. Cook the Apples: Add the diced apples to the saucepan, stirring to coat them evenly in the caramel mixture. Cook the apples over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and caramelized. The apples should be soft but still hold their shape. Once done, remove the pan from the heat and let the caramelized apples cool to room temperature.

    Preparing the Cream:

    1. Mix Cream Cheese and Heavy Cream: In a large mixing bowl, combine the room temperature cream cheese and cold heavy cream. Beat the mixture on medium-high speed until it becomes smooth and thick, with soft peaks forming.
    2. Add Caramelized Sweetened Condensed Milk: Gradually add the caramelized sweetened condensed milk to the cream mixture, beating on low speed until fully incorporated. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.
    3. Incorporate Sweetened Condensed Milk with Cocoa: Finally, add the sweetened condensed milk with cocoa, continuing to beat until the cream is thick, smooth, and well-blended. The resulting cream should be rich and luxurious, perfect for layering between the cake.
    4. Chill the Cream: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the cream for at least 4 hours to allow it to set and thicken further. This step is crucial for achieving the right consistency for spreading and decorating the cake.

    Assembling the Cake:

    1. Slice the Cake: Once the cake has cooled completely, carefully remove it from the pan. Using a serrated knife, slice the cake horizontally into two or three even layers, depending on your preference.
    2. Layer the Cake: Place the bottom layer of the cake on a serving platter. Spread a generous amount of the prepared cream over the layer, smoothing it out with a spatula. If you sliced the cake into three layers, repeat this process with the second layer, applying more cream.
    3. Top Layer and Decoration: Place the top layer of the cake on top of the cream. Spread a thick layer of cream on the top and sides of the cake, covering it completely. For a polished finish, use a spatula to smooth out the cream.
    4. Decorate with Caramelized Apples: Arrange the cooled caramelized apples on top of the cake, either in a decorative pattern or scattered casually for a rustic look. Use any remaining cream to pipe decorations or create swirls on the top or sides of the cake.
    5. Final Chill: Once assembled, refrigerate the cake for a few hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the cream to firm up. This will make the cake easier to slice and enhance the overall taste.

    Serving Suggestions

    This cake pairs beautifully with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The rich caramel flavors and the tangy sweetness of the apples make it a perfect dessert for any occasion, from a casual family gathering to a festive celebration.
