Method:

  1. Add butter to a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until melted, foamy, and nutty-smelling, with golden-brown bits at the bottom. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Pour the warm brown butter into a large bowl. Add Natvia Brown Sweetener and Natvia Natural Sweetener, whisking until well combined and glossy.
  3. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition so they don’t scramble.
  4. Stir in vanilla extract, mashed bananas, and milk until smooth.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold through the Natvia Hazelnut Spread and chopped chocolate.
  8. Pour batter into a lined loaf tin or 20cm cake tin
  9. Bake at 170°C for 45–50 minutes, until a skewer comes out mostly clean.
  10. Cool in the tin for 15 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Spicy Sweet and Sour Fried Eggs

Spicy Sweet and Sour Fried Eggs

Eggs for dinner is always a good idea, and this version makes a strong case for why. A crispy pan-fried egg sitting in a glossy, garlicky sweet and sour sauce with just enough chili oil heat to keep things interesting. The sauce comes together in the same pan and thickens beautifully around the eggs as it simmers. Ten minutes, one pan, genuinely satisfying over a bowl of hot rice.

Lemon Brûlée

Lemon Brûlée

These Lemon Brulees are the kind of dessert that looks far more involved than it actually is. The cream sets inside scooped-out lemon halves, and just before serving a thin layer of Natvia Natural Sweetener goes under the blowtorch until it turns golden and glassy. That satisfying crack, a clean hit of lemon, a smooth creamy centre underneath. Make them the day before and torch just before you bring them out.

Miso Swirl Sesame Oat Flour Cookies

Miso Swirl Sesame Oat Flour Cookies

These cookies are not what you expect, and that is exactly what makes them so good. Jelena Fairweather has taken miso, tahini and sesame and turned them into one of the most interesting recipes we have published. They are sweetened with Natvia Gut Activation Sweetener (AU) / Natvia Synbiotic Sweetener (UK), made with oat flour, and have a naturally crisp edge with a soft, chewy centre. The miso swirl running through each one gives a subtle savoury depth that balances the sweetness in a way that is genuinely hard to stop eating. The sesame coating adds texture and a nutty finish, and the optional sugar-free chocolate chunks make them feel a little more indulgent. Dairy-free, gluten-free and ready in under 30 minutes.
