I had a crazy weekend of writing essays and research papers.  The deadlines made me feel like my head was drowning in words and sentences.  Cooking something that required more than half an hour was something I only could have dreamt of. But regardless of all the pressure, I promised myself that I would not skip meals. In the past, I was the kind of person, who during stressful periods used to stop eating (in a way). More precisely, what I did was replace my main meals with unhealthy, low-nutrient snacks (which role was to trick my body, by making me feel full). But since then I’ve learned ways and strategies to better cope with stress and also never to neglect my body like that. Because if you eat well, you will automatically feel better and thus be more productive in whatever you are doing. Also by eating the right foods, you can increase your energy and concentration. So this time I welcomed the stressful period well prepared.

Taking short breaks helped me to take my mind off the assignments and my eyes away from the laptop. So one day I did yoga and the other I decided for a walk in nature.

Food-related, for breakfast, I made the  Tropical Overnight Oats (even though I must admit I had more of the topping than I had oats) but it’s just that good!

For lunch, I made my Creamy Red Lentil Pasta only instead of having the sauce over pasta I had it over baked potato wedges and as snacks, I had Sweet Potato Wedges

However, during stressful times I tend to crave more sweet things. And that’s where these gluten free chocolate hazelnut muffins came to save the day! They are perfectly sweet yet healthy and incredibly quick to make. Plus these muffins are student friendly and very affordable.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups oat flour* you can make it yourself by grinding the whole oats in a coffe grinder
  • 1/2 cup whole oats*
  • 2 Tbsp raw cocoa powder
  • 2 bananas unripe*
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 Tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp baking powder*
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 80 gr dark chocolate chopped
  • 30 gr hazelnuts chopped
  • 2 to 3 Tbsp non-dairy milk or water (depending on how thick is the batter)
  • FOR THE CHOCOLATE SAUCE:
  • 60 gr dark chocolate
  • 2 tsp coconut oil
  • 1 tsp pure maple syrup*

Instructions
 

  • Start by preheating the oven to 180C (fan)
  • Measure 1 1/5 cup whole oats and process them in a food processor or a coffee grinder until you get a flour-like consistency.
  • In a big bowl mix all the dry ingredients (oat flour, whole oats, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt)
  • In another bowl mash the bananas and add all the wet ingredients. Whisk until all are well combined.
  • Add the wet mixture to the dry and stir until everything combines.
  • Next, stir in the chopped chocolate and hazelnuts.
  • Once the mixture is stirred well transfer the mix into muffin trays. If the tray is not non-stick, line them with coconut oil (or any other) or place baking sheets.
  • Bake them for 25 to 30 min, stick a knife or a fork into one to check if it comes out clean if it does then they are cooked.
  • THE CHOCOLATE SAUCE:
  • Melt the chocolate with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, add 1 or 2 tablespoons(depends on how sweet you like it ) of the sweetener of choice(I like using maple syrup).
  • Pour the sauce over the muffins
  • Top them with chopped hazelnuts (optional)

Notes

1. If you are highly sensitive to gluten, make sure you use certified gluten-free oats.
2. Ripe bananas are high fodmap, make sure you use unripe
3. If you are highly sensitive to gluten, make sure you use certified gluten-free baking powder
4. Use pure maple syrup (low FODMAP) not maple flavored syrup (as that one could be high FODMAP).
