Divine cookies without sugar and white flour

About Us

Welcome to our little virtual corner! I’m a single mother raising my wonderful son, Ruben, who has grown into a remarkable teenager. For years, I was the sole breadwinner as a Krav Maga instructor, balancing the challenges of parenthood and work on my own.

When Ruben started kindergarten, I embarked on a new journey by studying healthcare management at Semmelweis University, specializing in health tourism management. After graduating, I began working in my field and experienced firsthand the tragic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic while serving as a healthcare manager in a state hospital.

As the pandemic subsided, I transitioned into private healthcare, where I currently work as a practice manager. Meanwhile, our family moved from a small town to Vác, a charming historic Danube riverside city near Budapest.

Here, we embrace the everyday moments and joys of life together. If you want to hear more stories about us, you’re warmly invited to visit the original Daysonpaper blog at S&Ru’s Diary on daysonpaper.blog.hu.

So I decided to try living for a year on an international stage and see if there are other mothers in similar shoes for whom this diary could be a support on the harder days—just as it has been a support for me when I was able to look beyond the difficulties and sincerely believe in my own strength.

Thank you for stopping by!

I actually started a sugar- and flour-free diet for my brother’s wedding, and I got so hooked on it that I’ve pretty much stuck with it ever since. Primarily, girls want to lose weight with this kind of diet, but besides that, you cut out a lot of “white poisons” from your body, which I’ve found really makes my body feel so much better. I had no problem giving up sugar because I’m not really a sweet tooth anyway, and I wouldn’t have minded flour either—but I still miss pasta to this day! Whole grain versions were a complete disaster for me, so now I follow the “nothing is better than half-baked” principle…

Yes, but with two jobs (and a recently finished exam period) plus family life, every housewife knows that juggling kitchen art is not easy. Especially if you dream up a special diet for yourself that, say, a growing body and an actively training mom won’t exactly love… That’s when I throw in a few special recipes, which I’m happy to share with you now!

I baked these in two different versions within two days! Guaranteed to be a hit with both dieters and non-dieters alike:

Ingredients:

200 g rolled oats
100 g rye flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon (or way more, if you like (: )
A handful (plus a few extra for the kids) of walnuts
1 egg
100 g margarine (melted!)
A few drops of vanilla extract
3 tablespoons liquid sweetener

Instructions:

Mix the dry ingredients together, then mix the wet ingredients separately. Combine the two mixtures. Shape into walnut-sized balls, then flatten them with a wet spoon. Bake at 160°C (320°F) for about 15–20 minutes with convection heat, and they’ll turn out perfect!

TIP: I added a good handful of orange zest.
Next time, I added one more egg, ground the oats into a flour-like texture, sprinkled some ginger on top, and it might have turned out even better than the first batch. You can also bake these with hazelnuts, cashews, or coconut—combinations are endless!

Kid-friendly recipe:

Super easy to prepare, just sticky enough to be fun for little hands (and quick enough to keep their interest until the end). The kids can do the whole thing themselves, you just supervise—and the result will be an absolute success for them!
