Healthy eating. Sweet homemade cakes are a little different

If we want to enjoy this, it’s definitely worth thinking about the ingredients that we add to baking. Thanks to a reasonable choice of ingredients, we can make a positive contribution to our health.
If we leave aside the purely intellectual aspects of home baking, of course, we will not be able to miss the joy of your own unique creation and the good feeling that you are actively taking care of your health. Cooking your own pastries is also an effective relaxation in an active professional life.

Sweet pastries

An interesting component of sweet desserts is, for example, almond flour. In addition to its high protein content and unsaturated fatty acids, it is also a source of many vitamins and minerals. Great for a gluten-free diet.

Another fresh raw material is coconut flour . Due to the significant fiber and protein content, it is a very useful alternative to regular wheat flour. It doesn’t have a special taste, but the pastries smell nice. Coconut flour can replace from a quarter to half of the white flour contained in each sweet dessert. This flour is also suitable for celiac patients.

If the oven is made of gluten-free flour, xanthan gum will definitely come in handy. It is a natural emulsifier, also called E415. But don’t worry, this electronic cake is completely natural, it surprisingly prolongs the shelf life of food, and at the same time the pastry does not crumble so much. If you use xanthan gum, you will practically replace the gluten properties in gluten-free flour. This ingredient helps the dough to hold well.

Special gluten-free pastries

Nuts
If you want to add some cake or other dessert, don’t forget nuts and almonds. In addition to the irreplaceable taste, they are also a rich source of unsaturated fatty acids, proteins, vitamins and minerals.

An interesting way to replace the classic white sugar beet is coconut sugar . It has a lower glycemic index, so after consuming it, not so much fat is deposited in the body. It contains vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, and the dessert smells nice.
