As promised! Here is the recipe we use for our oatmeal waffles 😉
You will need…
– 500g of oats, can be the full ones or the crushed ones, as you prefer 🥣 – Half a teaspoon of salt 🧂 – 2 spoons of honey 🍯 – 2 bananas 🍌 – 2 teaspoons of baking powder 🥄 – 2 teaspoons of cinnamon 🥄 – 2 eggs 🥚 – 170ml of milk 🥛(we use oat milk but you can use any)
1. Combine all the dry elements in a bowl (oats, salts, baking powder, cinnamon). 2. Mix the milk, bananas and honey in a blender. 3. Add the dry ingredients and blend until smooth, then add the 2 eggs.
And so your mixture is ready for the waffle iron or if you want, to make them as pancakes 😁
For the ending, you can use any berries, bananas, cream, honey, cinnamon or whatever your heart desires as topping 😊🧇
I realized this year that there are 2 kinds of winter: The dark, cloudy, rainy and extremely boring one… and the snowy, with blue skies and temperatures of under -12°C. BEAUTIFUL. Precisely the kind of winter I always had in mind.
Like 50cm of snow, -12°C and frozen rivers!
Apparently this kind of winter… with this amount of snow, didn’t happen around here since at least 10 years ago. You know the only natural thing to do with some much snow right? RIGHT.
We made a full, big, proper snowman! With his own snowcat and all
I definitely had to use the chance to do all the things I couldn’t while growing in the tropics, like making a snowman (and a snowcat), riding a sled, walking in a frozen lake, making a snow “angel”, and having a snow fight!
For the sled part we had to buy one, thankfully Micha found a place that had a couple and was selling them on the spot so he, thankfully, took the chance!. Is more complicated that it seems, specially when you ride it on a slope with a curve haha. The good thing is that if you roll, the soft-ish snow catches you.
Walking in a lake? Check!
We cannot encourage you to walk in a lake though, is quite dangerous. We did it here cause is the lake in the surroundings of Micha’s family house so he knows it, don’t try this just anywhere.
We also saw a snowy Externsteine!
And of course, we had snowball fights as much as we could, before our fingers started to hurt haha. There I discovered there are 2 kinds of snow: the powdery one that’s super cute but cannot get in any shape, and the “wet” one that’s ideal for snowballs and snowmen. The first kind happens when the temperature is too low and the second when the temperature goes up so a bit of the snow melts and helps the rest merge into any shape you want
