    this one bowl, lemon olive oil cake recipe is perfect when you don't have a ton of time but also want a decadent dessert. made with clean, healthy ingredients you could eat this cake every day.

    the first time i tried an olive oil cake was when i was in miami...and i haven't been able to get it out of my mind since! that lemon olive oil cake changed my life and led me to create this recipe. the olive oil makes this cake incredibly moist without overpowering the lemon flavor.

    every time i make a baked treat with lemon, i remember why i love them so much. they are just so dang good! and this lemon olive oil cake recipe is no different. to be honest, it is one of the BEST lemon desserts that i have ever made or dare i say eaten?

    i hope you feel the same...and don't forget to leave a rating and comment after you try this recipe!

    Total Time 2 hrs 40 mins
    Course Breakfast, brunch, Dessert
    Servings 4 people
    Calories 230 kcal

    Ingredients
      

    • ¼ cup monk fruit sweetener
    • 1 lemon zest
    • ½ lemon juice
    • ¼ cup olive oil
    • ¼ cup almond milk unsweetened
    • ½ cup almond flour
    • ¼ cup gluten-free baking flour
    • ½ tsp baking powder
    • ¼ tsp baking soda

    Instructions
     

    • preheat your oven to 350 degrees F
    • put the monk fruit sweetener in a medium sized mixing bowl
    • and in the bowl, zest one lemon and massage the zest into the monk fruit. this releases the lemon oils, infusing the lemon flavor into the sugar
    • add in the olive oil, almond milk, lemon juice and mix until fully combined
    • add in the flours, baking powder and baking soda
    • mix the batter until fully combined
    • spray the oven-safe mini ramekins with coconut oil spray
    • split the batter into the two mini ramekins and put into the oven. i place the ramekins on a baking sheet for easy in / out of the oven
    • bake in the oven for 10 minutes then rotate 180 degrees
    • bake for an additional 10 minutes or until golden brown on top (may vary depending on your oven)
    • cool completely (i usually cool for 2+ hours), remove or eat straight from the ramekins and ENJOY!

    notes + tips

    • let cool completely before slicing or removing from the baking dish... however, i won't blame you for eating these right away 🙂
    • the cooling time is extremely important because this allows the olive oil cake to finish cooking in the mini ramekins
    • use a toothpick to ensure the cake is cooked fully through
    • pair with fresh fruit, greek yogurt or as is (my go-to, it doesn't need anything extra!)

i used their sweet italian sausage to make this tasty meal. i ground the sausages with some sautéed onions and peppers and no additional seasoning needed!

add the sausage mixture on your favorite corn tortillas and top it all off with some lettuce and cheese for the perfect bite!

    wellness wednesday looks a little different these wellness wednesday looks a little different these days ✨
 
as someone who has been obsessed with tracking my steps and nutrition for years now… i have turned a corner onto a new street of wellness. while I acknowledge how important physical activity and nutrition is, there are other important factors that contribute to a healthy lifestyle 🏃🏻‍♀️
 
two factors are hydration and stress levels. with the help of my @healbe GoBe3 smart band I have been able to make that the forefront of my health journey and i couldn’t be happier.

so for me, that’s having a relaxing tea and doing my daily yoga ☺️
 
when you let go of the calories and step count, you actually begin to LIVE. and that is so important. while @healbe GoBe3 has the ability to track your steps and nutrition, there is so much more to this smart band. 

my hope is for this to be your sign to make your stress levels and hydration a priority in your journey!
 
@healbe is amazing because it lets  you know when need to drink some h20 and when it’s time to take a moment to relax 😌 
 
you can use my code FEASTY10 to get your own and start your own wellness journey :)

    happy fry-day!!! 🍟 i am celebrating with these happy fry-day!!! 🍟 i am celebrating with these seasoned baked potato wedges 🥔

it’s quite obvious that carbs and more specifically, potatoes are a gift and i think they need to be appreciated a little bit more!

i love a good fried or cheesy potato just as much as the next person. but sometimes i want something a little bit healthier or maybe spice it up!

these oven-roasted potato wedges are just what i needed to satisfy my potato cravings (yes i have those) but also to stay on my health track to reach my goals!

using simple ingredients, this recipe is easy to make and good for you! whether you want to make this recipe as a healthy snack or as a side dish to a meal, that is totally up to you. i will link the recipe below and in my bio! ⬇️
