Easter has arrived and, as always, I propose a super healthy recipe to share with your families in these holidays. The Italian tradition inspires this year’s recipe: as you already know, although I live in Barcelona, I am originally from Rome, where the Easter breakfast is an incredible event. The whole family gathers and eats cheese bread, eggs, artichoke omelet, but the main protagonist is the Colomba, a delicious sweet shaped like a dove and covered with almonds and sugar. The recipe that I propose today is a healthy version of this Italian sweet, I choose muffin molds with Easter decorations, but you can put it in the traditional mold in the form of Colomba or a classic cake mold, as you like it ?

Coconut is the most famous tropical fruit in the world and one of the most cultivated. From this fruit, different ingredients are obtained, such as coconut milk, coconut oil, coconut flour, grated coconut …

Coconut is a fresh, tasty and very versatile fruit; In fact, it is very easy to use it for cooking, to make cakes, ice cream or shakes or for salty preparations. Personally, coconut milk and coconut oil are two of my favorite cooking ingredients and both are full of healthy fats; In addition, coconut oil is one of the best choices when it comes to frying as it resists very well at high temperatures.

The recipe that I propose today is very simple and brings several ingredients derived from the coconut, we will see:

Each of us has their ideal breakfast; there is the one who chooses the classic croissant with coffee, who has little time and prepares a fruit smoothie, the sweetest ones eat a piece of cake, those who prefer the salty breakfast and choose a toast with ham … but there is a breakfast that everyone considers a classic: I’m talking about bread with jam. The recipe that I propose today is easy and original, but conserve a good aroma of tradition, these are gluten-free bread rolls, made with Sorghum flour and stuffed with a Raw Vegan Jam.

You can see the jam recipe here.

  5. Let stand 4 hours
  6. Put a sheet of baking paper on top of your work plane and place the dough, which will have grown enough ** and sprinkle with the remaining flour spoon
  7. Divide the dough into three equal parts, and with each of the parts forms a small bowl of dough
  8. Put a spoonful of jam in the center of the dough and close it gently, giving it the shape of a bun

Notes

The story of the Brownies is interesting: it seems that, like the Tart Tatin, they were born by a mistake, when an American baker forgot to add yeast to a sponge cake.

Digestive cookies are English-origin cookies that are often used to make cheesecakes. Its name is due to the fact that these biscuits contain bicarbonate and that (supposedly) makes them easier to digest. The original recipe has never been revealed, but there are many versions that are close enough. The recipe that I propose is very tasty, gluten-free and, as healthy as possible.

I hope you like it!
