Carrot Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting | Recipe

Today I baked carrot cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and they were so delicious that I had to share the recipe with you guys on my blog. In actual fact, the cupcakes are 100% vegan because we ran out of eggs and so I used mashed banana as a substitute (I literally googled egg substitute and mashed banana came up....it's an oddly brilliant idea) but the cream cheese frosting is definitely not vegan. 

I found the recipe on a baking blog which I will link below and I'll include the changes I made down there also. I will admit, my cupcakes don't look half as good as the pictures I was going off, especially the cream cheese frosting which was a bit of a flop but hey, I tried!

Changes made:

- Rather than using two eggs, I mashed up one large banana and used this instead.
- I added 3/4 cup of sultanas

Tip: The cupcakes are a lot nicer when left in the fridge for a few hours

Let me know if you end up baking this recipe and any suggestions on what to bake next! :)

Like Minded Projects

Hey guys! 

So the other day I was out at a cafe called 'Like Minded Projects' and I had the most delicious AND healthy ice-cream cookie sandwich (at least I think it was a semi-healthy dessert). So good in fact that I've had to blog about it :) 

I've never really posted about food or places that I eat out at in Melbourne and I think it's about time I did, considering I eat out far more than I really should! So here's my first foodie post and what a scrumptious one to start on. 

Vegan, berry ice-cream between a PB&J cookie and an apple crumble cookie

'Like Minded Projects' is located on Smith St, Fiztroy and is a healthy cafe that is completely gluten-free and for the majority, vegan. They not only do coffee and other beverages but they also do breakfast, lunch and other yummy snacks that I desperately want to try. I saw a picture of this cookie sandwich on instagram and so obviously that's what I had to try first (not wanting to be left out and all) and will definitely buy it again!

I ordered the peanut butter and jelly cookie and apple crumble cookie with berry ice-cream in the middle. The berry ice-cream was so delicious and would definitely recommend this option, however next time I'll probably just get two apple crumble cookies as I'm not a huge nut fan and I didn't enjoy the heavy peanut taste in the peanut butter and jelly cookie (I like peanut butter, just not plain nuts which is what this cookie tasted like).

If you happen to be around the area or are looking for a new cafe to eat at, give this one a shot! I for sure am going back to try out more of the menu :)

Super Easy Vegan Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

A few weeks back my Mum, Dad and I went out for breakfast where Mum ordered the most delicious looking cinnamon roll. It was a Sunday and I didn't have much to do so I decided to kill time by trying to bake cinnamon rolls, however as I was searching for recipes, they all said it would take hours to make and looked rather fiddly and complicated.

This was until I found a recipe that claimed to teach me how to bake cinnamon rolls the EASY way, using LITTLE ingredients, all while being VEGAN. Couldn't get any better, right? Right! 

Now although you really can't bake cinnamon rolls from scratch without it taking a little while, this recipe was a lot shorter than all of the other ones I found. For example, you don't need to scald the milk because if you're using dairy free milk (such as almond milk), the proteins won't kill the yeast and hence it becomes a vegan recipe. 

I'd highly recommend you try this recipe if you're into that sort of thing, it's a definite winner. It didn't take long for my family to scoff them all up and praised me until the cows came home. Thankyou minilmist baker! 

Note: The changes I made to this recipe were as simple as adding crushed walnuts and sultanas to the dough before rolling it up and cutting. I also didn't get around to the glaze because we didn't have any icing sugar in the house but this step is totally optional.
