Recipe for a healthy cherry bublanina? Traditional and fit from coconut flour

We have a recipe for healthy cherry bublanina for you in a fit version with coconut flour and in the classic form.

Decide for yourself whether you prefer traditional cuisine and have a cake like grandma's or try a fit, juicy version of the cherry bubble from the modern kitchen.

How much time do you have to decide?

There are 7 cherry weeks, each of which has 15 days (not 7 days like a normal week).

This time interval demarcates the period from the ripening of the earliest cherry varieties to the very late cherry varieties.

Cherries not only taste good, they are also good for your health. And this is true in both traditional and modern cooking.

What do cherries contain?

1. Vitamins: vitamin A, B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9), vitamin C and vitamin E
2. Minerals: magnesium, iron, iodine, phosphorus, zinc, calcium, potassium and silicon
3. Water: the flesh is more than 80 % water
4. Fruit sugars
5. Antioxidants: contain the highest level of antioxidants compared to other fruits

What effect does the composition of cherries have on our health?

1. It protects connective tissue from enzymatic breakdown. The combination of vegetable dye, vitamin C and zinc converts the building blocks of protein into a strong network of elastic collagen fibres. This combination also helps to destroy the harmful enzymes that damage our connective tissue.
2. They have rejuvenating effects, beautifying our skin and our hair.
3. They alleviate rheumatic joint diseases thanks to anthocyanins (plant dyes), which reduce histamine and prostaglandin production, thus reducing inflammation.
4. Anti-inflammatory.
5. They help with weight loss by neutralising the fatty components of food and preventing them from passing through the intestinal walls into the bloodstream.
6. They are a good source of potassium.
7. They strengthen our body's defences, thanks to vitamin C and antioxidants.
8. They promote a good and restful sleep, thanks to their melatonin content.

Beware - cherries are not to be washed down with water!

Cherries and other stone fruits ferment quickly when they come into contact with water.
This can cause unpleasant digestive problems. Therefore, remember to wait a certain time after eating them before drinking water or other liquids.

Have you ever seen the blossoms as part of salads or as a garnish for food?
Cherry petals can also be used in this way, as they are also edible.
They taste great lightly salted and can also be used as an edible garnish or to make traditional Japanese tea.

Caution - never eat the flowers of a chemically treated tree!

Modern cuisineRecipe for fit cherry bubble with coconut flour

If you don't happen to have coconut flour at home, be sure to fix that.

It is a nutritious and gluten-free alternative to regular wheat flour.
It contains none of the common allergens.
Its main advantage is that it is very low in sugars, carbohydrates and calories.

Coconut flour is made from pure coconut.

When the outer layer of the coconut is removed, the fresh coconut pulp remains. The milk is removed from the coconut, dried by slow baking at a low temperature, and ground. This produces a high quality coconut flour from only one ingredient - the coconut, without the addition of any additives or preservatives.

Compared to grated coconut, it contains much less fat, making it a suitable ingredient for diets.

Coconut flour is one of the so-called superfoods.
These are foods that are nutritionally rich and high in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other nutrients that:

• slow down the ageing process

• increase physical energy and mental well-being

• reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer

• help improve digestion

• have a low glycaemic index

• are high in fibre, unique MCT fats, protein and many other nutrients needed for the proper functioning of the human body

MCT fats (medium-chain triglycerides) are oils with a simpler structure.
This makes them a quick source of energy (like glucose) without storing it in fat stores.
They are beneficial for athletes, but especially for weight loss diets.

Ingredients

• 250 g coconut flour
• 250 ml milk
• 6 eggs
• 1 baking powder
• 2 tablespoons of coconut oil
• 4 tablespoons honey
• 250 g cherries
• zest of 1 lemon
• 1 tbsp cocoa powder

Prepare a cake tin with a diameter of 25 cm in which to bake the bublanina.
The preparation is very simple.

Procedure

1. First, wash, dry and pit the cherries.

2. In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients - coconut flour, baking powder and lemon zest. Mix well.

3. Then add the milk, eggs, honey and melted coconut oil. Stir the dough again.

4. Pour most of the batter into a greased or baking paper lined cake tin.

5. Add the cocoa powder to the rest, about 1/4 of the batter left in the bowl. Pour the mixed cocoa batter on top of the white batter.

6. Place the hollowed out cherries on top of the batter.

7. Bake the bublanina at 175 degrees for 45-50 minutes, until the top or edges start to take on a golden color.

8. Let the bublanina cool and serve.

9. At the end, you can sprinkle it with sifted coconut flour for a sugary effect.

Such a fit bublanina is juicy, rich and low-calorie.

How to use coconut flour in the kitchen?

Coconut flour can be used in sweet and savoury recipes.

It is unsweetened. It has a subtle taste and aroma of coconut, but does not overpower the flavour of the other ingredients in the recipe.
Although it is light, delicate and airy when dry, it gives the dish a denser texture when cooked and makes the dish more filling.

Because it has a high fibre content, it absorbs more water than other flours during cooking and baking.
Therefore, you should use the same ratio of coconut flour and liquid ingredients.

The flour absorbs water very easily. If you don't use enough liquid ingredients, the result can be drier and crumbly.

You can replace 20% of the flour used in any baking with coconut flour. You can do this with any dish, as such a relatively small amount will not change the taste, consistency or texture of the food.

For example, if you replace 50 g of other flour with coconut flour, you can also add 50 ml of water, coconut milk, oil or other liquid.
