Emelie's Autumn Culinary Delights

Sep 28, 2023

As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, there's nothing quite like the comforting aroma of freshly baked goods wafting through the kitchen. Our co-founder Emelie shared two of her favorite autumn recipes with us - the soul-soothing Cinnamon Buns and a warming Curcuma Latte.

1. Rhubarb Marmalade Cinnamon Buns

Emelie's rhubarb marmalade cinnamon buns are a testament to her love for perennial rhubarb. With a touch of coconut oil, vanilla, and coconut sugar, these buns are a delectable twist on a classic. Here's how you can recreate them in your own kitchen.

Ingredients:

For the dough:
5 dl milk
50 grams of yeast for sweet dough
2 dl powdered sugar
0.5 tsp salt
3 tsp cardamom, ground
13 -15 dl flour
125 grams butter, softened

For the topping:
100 grams of butter
1.5 dl  sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon, grounded, cardamom, apple sauce or Rhubarb marmalade are her favorites! 

For garnish:
Chopped almonds/brown sugar

Preparation method:

Will make around 35-45 buns

  1. Melt the butter and add the milk to approximately 37 degrees. Crumble the yeast in a dough bowl. Add the milk and butter and stir until most of the yeast has dissolved.
  2. Add sugar, salt, cardamom and most of the flour, but save a little flour (0,1-0,2 liter) for baking out the buns. Work this into a smooth dough. Cover with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise until doubled in size, about 30- 50 minutes.
  3. Put the dough on a floured surface and share it in two parts.
  4. Work each portion into a thin, about 25×50 cm square. Spread the filling and roll up along the long side. Cut the roll into about 2 cm wide pieces and place them in cake forms (you don´t need cake forms if you don't have them).
  5. Variation nr 2 (the one I do in the picture) Roll out the dough to a square that is approx. 35×40 cm. Spread filling on half of the dough and fold over. Cut  20-25 strips, twist each strip a twist and fold it into a knot. Voila!
  6. Let buns rise uncovered for 20-30 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 250 degrees.
  7. Brush the buns with a whisked egg and sprinkle with chopped almonds. Bake in owen for 12-15 minutes
  8. Enjoy!!

2. Turmeric Latte

If cinnamon buns aren't your thing and you prefer warm, comforting drinks instead, here's Emelie's go-to recipe for curcuma latte.


Ingredients:

1cm of fresh curcuma chopped into pieces

1cm of fresh ginger chopped into pieces

1 teaspoon of ashwagandha (you can skip it!)

Boiling water and a splash of oat milk.


Preparation method:

Combine all of the ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, then lower the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, strain, serve & enjoy!
Whether you're indulging in a cinnamon bun or sipping on a turmeric latte, these creations are bound to become cherished favorites in your seasonal repertoire.

FAQ

Is pea protein as good as whey for muscle growth?

Yes, pea protein can be as effective as whey protein for muscle growth when consumed in appropriate serving sizes and paired with regular resistance training. While whey protein has a faster absorption rate, pea protein supports muscle strength and repair with its well-rounded amino acid profile. Combining pea protein with complementary sources like rice protein can further enhance its effectiveness for building muscle.
Does whey protein cause bloating?

For some individuals, whey protein can cause bloating or digestive discomfort due to its lactose content. Those with lactose intolerance or sensitive digestive systems may experience issues when consuming whey protein. In such cases, switching to lactose-free options or a dairy-free alternative like pea protein can help alleviate these symptoms.
How do I store pea protein powder?

To maintain the highest quality and freshness of pea protein powder, store it in a cool dry place, away from direct sunlight. Proper storage ensures that the product retains its nutritional value and extends its shelf life. Always check the product details for specific storage instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Can I combine pea protein with other supplements?

Yes, combining pea protein with other supplements like rice protein or maca powder is a great way to enhance its amino acid profile and overall health benefits. Adding nut butters or cocoa powder can also improve its flavor and texture in recipes. This versatility makes pea protein a practical choice for various dietary preferences and goals.
Are there vegan-friendly whey protein alternatives?

Absolutely, pea protein isolate powder is a popular vegan-friendly alternative to whey protein. It provides a great source of plant-based proteins without relying on animal products. This makes it an excellent option for those following a vegan or vegetarian diet.

Final Thoughts on Choosing Pea Protein vs Whey

When deciding between pea protein and whey protein, your choice should depend on your dietary needs, fitness goals, and personal values. Whey protein is ideal for those seeking rapid muscle recovery and creamy shakes, while pea protein excels as a sustainable, hypoallergenic option for vegans and those avoiding animal products.

Both proteins offer significant health benefits, making them excellent tools for achieving a healthy lifestyle. By considering factors like body weight goals, allergens, and environmental impact, you can select the protein source that best aligns with your nutritional preferences and long-term fitness objectives.
