Vegan Chocolate Chip Muffins

Time for another delicious recipe!

This time I baked, as you can already see in the photos, some vegan chocolate chip muffins while using this recipe!

All you need:

4 ripe         bananas

1/2 cup      dairy free milk (soy or almond for example)

2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

1 1/2 tsp    baking powder

1/2 cup      coconut sugar (https://kulau.de/bio-kokosbluetenzucker-pure-150-g)

1/4 cup      coconut oil

1 tsp          vanilla extract

1/2 cup      chocolate chips

Step 1 - Combine the bananas and the milk until smooth

Step 2 - Combine the flour and the baking powder, then add banana-milk-mixture

Step 3 - Add the other ingredients (chocolate chips last)

Step 4 - Bake for around 20-25 minutes (180°C) and let them cool off afterwards for a bit

It serves 12 muffins and I think it's also a perfect snack for school, uni or work!

Enjoy and let me know if you tried them out :)

THE OPPOSITE OF LONELINESS by Marina Keegan

I have seen people talking about "The Opposite Of Loneliness" on blogs and a general enthusiasm and interest in this book so I thought I would also grab this book when one day I was browsing through a book store looking for a new book for me to read. I won't give you any spoilers but just my personal opinion of this book. First, Marina Keegan was a Yale student from where she graduated in 2012, tragically five days after graduation she died in a car accident. This book is a collection of essays and short stories she wrote and all in all just very different topics, fiction as well as nonfiction, which makes it interesting to read and doesn't get boring. However some of my favorite chapters were "Cold Pastoral"and "Stability in Motion".

"You attract the right things when you have a sense of who you are!"

Yesterday evening I stumbled across this quote and I really wanted to share it with you guys.

What I feel like I have learnt within the past weeks (where I to be honest probably had more downs than I have had in a long time and just got challenged by life which can also be a good thing) is that we will probably never know 100% who we are. There are things like your name, background, appearance, ... - all things that define you in a way of who you are but obviously there's so much more to us especially our inside qualities. If you feel like you don't exactly know who you are then just remember that probably most of us don't, well at least I don't and I won't stress myself with finding that out because in the end I will continue learning about myself and growing as a person every single day and maybe the steps will be little but I will always keep on stepping to be the best version of myself I can be - without copying anyone but being inspired and in the end when we just try our best and just be happy with who we are the right things will gravitate towards us. Life is a journey - a really exciting one!

PORRIDGE - My Favorite Breakfast

My go to breakfast is, as the blog post title says, PORRIDGE! It's such a quick and healthy meal onto which you can add whatever fruits, nuts, eat you feel like. And it's super cheap as well so perfect for students ;)

As a base I usually add water and some milk to the oats which I heat up in the microwave just because it's easier and less dishes to clean up than heating it up in a pot. But I guess heating it up in a pot makes it more creamy so if I got enough time I would also grab a pot from time to time. After that I add some cinnamon and honey which makes it smell and taste delicious. Now it's time to get creative. I think you can never go wrong with bananas and chia seed or some berries.

Porridge fills you up perfectly and gives you great energy in order to start your day!

Any other porridge fans out there? :)

Rise and Shine

It feels so good to realize that the things you might think you need to be completely happy are already there. Just look around you and see the people, moments, opportunities, nature's beauty, food, new places, feelings and emotions - it's all there and we are in charge of our own happiness and nobody or nothing else.
Sometimes when we for example buy something new it makes us really happy for the moment which is of course 100% fine and sometimes just what we need and what will cheer us up. But true happiness is already deep inside us and it's up to ourselves to let it shine out of us, to just smile and to appreciate what life has to offer. We don't have to wait for something that will complete our happiness because it's already there and we should embrace it.
I feel like sometimes the things we take for granted are the things that bring most happiness to us.

AUSTRALIA IN 224 SECONDS

2014 and 2015 will probably be two of the best years of my life. After graduating in summer 2014 my dream came true and I flew to Australia. During my time on the other side of the world I learnt so incredibly much about life, myself and just what actually matters in life. I saw beautiful breathtaking places and am happy to share some moments with you of a place on our little planet I might have fallen in love with.

We Discover Paris

As I already talked about in a previous blog post a few weeks ago. My sister and I went to Paris to explore the city which I have never been to even though it's actually rather close to where I live. But I don't know... somehow I'm always more drawn to the places which are extremely far away and where you have to cross oceans by an airplane to get to. But it was good that this summer was different and I actually took some time to explore Europe a bit more. I hope you guys enjoy the little impression of my time in Paris and please don't hate on my video cutting and editing skills as it's all new to me and I'm still learning and trying out :)
