I love matcha (green tea) powder for its benefits and flavor. Studies showed that with its high amino acid/vitamins it can protect our liver, improve heart health and enhance brain function.

I made Matcha powder dark chocolate chips cookies, served with vegan vanilla gelato ๐Ÿจ ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ‘

I made 3 medium size cookies, ate 1 for taste test and itโ€™s exactly how I expect it to be, soft on the inside and crispy outside. I tried out this new method of baking cookies (steam baked for 20 mins and 10 mins for reg baking) from having dry cookies in the past and they came out perfect now. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘

As always, be inspired, be joyful, take a picture and Enjoy it! ๐Ÿ˜‹โค๏ธ

Vegan Ice cream is suprisingly good, have you tried swedish Glace - the vanilla one is delicous - infact I have not had any for must be a year now.

I am hoping to make a vegan/gf pizza on Saturday - it will be my first attempt

Oh wow Debs you must have the power of reading mind because I literally had a chat with my best friend earlier that I wanna learn how to make vegan/gf pizza or flatbread. ๐Ÿ˜‡This is perfect, please try and share your experiment with us ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

I definitely will look for Swedish glacรฉ vanilla ice cream if they have over here. ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ‘ Thank you for recommending me. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™

Spooky ๐Ÿ˜Š I just felt like pizza , it all hangs on my being able to pick up the correct flour tomorrow - or shelves are a bit empty at the minute

in reply to Kitten-whiskers

Yes Debs, I find the choice of flour is so important, sometimes we have to mix them with other flours too to get the right texture for baking. ๐Ÿค” I canโ€™t wait till Saturday to see how you successfully create it! ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
