    Been to Iceland once. Hoping to go back there soon. Hubby is already making the list for 2024, but if I can get at least 3 months ahead on work, I'd like to add Iceland to the mix. Being able to just go to another country on the weekend is just another bonus reason we moved to Poland.

    Could you post some of the recipes (especially the brownies)? It looked like you had a great weekend.

    • @AllThingsIceland
      @AllThingsIceland  Рік тому

      Sure. I used the Ghirardelli chocolate chip brownie box mix. I subbed a smashed banana for the egg and use oat milk instead of water. I only cooked it for 40 minutes so it would turn out fudgy and that totally worked.
      The pancake recipe is 2 cups of flour, 2 cups of vegan milk, 2 tbsp of sugar, 4 tbsp of oil, 3-4 tsp of baking powder, pinch of salt and 1 tsp of vanilla extract (optional).

    Oh that was lovely.
    I'm in the middle of London on a dull, dull, dull Saturday and everywhere I look is grey building with grey weather and no horizons.
    This was like looking out a window and being able to breathe. I really appreciate it.
    Could you post the recipe for the vegan brownies, please? They look like gooey heaven and - frankly - I need some filthy chocolate sin in my life right now.
    (Also, thank you for keeping up with your tips and advice about driving and cars. I know it's part of your sponsorship, but when I finally get to realise a dream and get to Iceland, all the advice you give is really important because I might not be able to get there in the most tourist-friendly times. You don't get the kind of advice you're giving anywhere else - irrespective of it being sponsored. It's just *good* advice.)
    Anyway, many thanks. 🙂
