Protein Coffee Jellies

Protein Coffee Jellies Yummy jelly/gummy snacks that taste like coffee! Super simple to make and perfect for an extra boost of protein or caffeine!

This is to let the geletin bloom so that it doesn't get chunky when you add it to the hot coffee. Add 1 cup soy milk to a sauce pot and heat over medium-low heat until simmering. Remove from heat. Add coffee and honey to hot soy milk. Stir. Add gelatin mixture to hot coffee mixture. Stir until gelatin dissolves. Pour mixture into molds or a baking dish.

Best Soft Pretzels EVER!

I have tried a lot of recipes. Most of which somehow don't turn out right. I have no idea why, but they always seem to fail, especially on the first attempt making it. But, low and behold, a soft pretzel recipe that actually turned out SO GOOD on my first try making the recipe! I have already made this recipe multiple times because of how good it is! It's soft, especially right out of the oven.  It's buttery (no kidding), even though it has NO BUTTER in it whatsoever (so perfect for those who can't have dairy, like me!).  And, it actually tastes like a pretzel! The recipe is adapted from the "Buttery Soft Pretzels" recipe from Allrecipes.com. Some changes I made: I decreased the amount of flour by 1 cup because my dough was already doughy enough (adding the extra 1 cup would have made the dough too dry).  I decreased the boiling water by 1 cup because I made each pretzel smaller in size, which meant I could use a smaller pot to dip my pretzels in an...

Honey Ogura Cake

  Hello everyone! I recently made this Honey Ogura cake for my dad's birthday. If any of you live near Milpitas, CA, there's a Chinese bakery called Golden Bakery that sells honey cakes. Their cakes have a super fine crumb and it's spongy, fluffy, and just melts in your mouth. Ever since I've tried that honey cake, I have wanted to recreate it. And, thus marks the start of my journey to recreating that honey cake. I started off by researching different types of cakes. I thought about making a regular western cake (like those in Safeway), but western cakes lacked that tight crumb seen in the honey cake. Then I thought about sponge cakes, but looking back at all the sponge cakes I've tried making in the past, my sponge cakes always seem to deflate and they always had lots of bubbles in the crumb (hence they have a large, coarse crumb). Then, I stumbled upon several Japanese sponge cakes: Castella, Ogura, and Chiffon. They all seem to have a super fine crum...

Oatmeal Raisin Goji Berry Cookie + Healthier Version!

Oatmeal cookies with a twist! Instead of adding all raisins like in traditional oatmeal raisin cookies, I replaced half with goji berries. Goji berries have many health benefits. Some even call it a superfood. They are a good source of vitamin C, vitamin A, fiber, iron, zinc, and antioxidants. They can boost your immune system, protect you from the flu, help you lose weight, maintain blood sugar, and protect your eyes and skin. Compared to raisins, goji berries have less calories and lower sugar content (1/4 cup raisins has 120 calories, while 1/4 cup goji berries has 90 calories). If you want to read more about the health benefits of goji berries, I recommend this website . But, enough about goji berries. These cookies taste just like a regular oatmeal raisin cookie. The goji berries have a subtle sweet taste the pair nicely with the cookie. It's chewy, soft perfection. Oatmeal Raisin Goji Berry Cookie This recipe makes 12-18 medium-sized cookies and takes about 30-4...
