As much as I love creating my own recipes, I’m always on the lookout to be inspired and try out existing ones. Bananas are one of my staples when it comes to healthy baking as they add a natural sweetness and moisture, meaning you can cut down on fat and sugar in the recipe which […]

Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Slice
Today has to be my favourite ‘National [insert food here’ Day’ – PEANUT BUTTER DAY. It’s my answer when someone asks what’s the food I can’t live without. 100% I consume it in some way or form every day, and I still can’t decide if I prefer crunchy or smooth to be honest! In celebration […]
Raspberry Loaf
Who doesn’t love a spot of baking? It’s fun, therapeutic and the best bit – eating the baked goods when they are ready! Whether you’re fully vegan or doing Veganuary for a challenge, baking may seem a bit daunting or uncertain if you’re not sure about what ingredients or alternatives to use compared to traditional […]
Raspberry Chocolate & Coconut Blondies
Mmmmmm BLONDIES. I’ve always seen them as a brownie’s less popular cousin, which is crazy as they are slightly less rich if you’re not in the chocolate mood, but still delicious and fudgey. With this recipe I think I’ve nailed a banging vegan mixture which is packed with juicy raspberries and Seed & Bean’s wonderfully […]

Another collaboration with Mr Fitzpatrick’s Vintage Cordials ahoy!

Pear, Chocolate & Nut Crumble
Winter has officially arrived! After a beautiful summer we’re really feeling the cold, so we’re going to need something to warm us up. My latest recipe working with the fantastic British chocolate company, Montezuma’s, is sure to do just that! A generous layer of cinnamon coated pears – feel free to use any seasonal fruits, […]
Caramelised Cinnamon Apple Brownies
Healthy home baking. That’s what many of us want, right? But time can be an issue, or not being confident in the kitchen when it comes to making healthy treats, even being unsure of where to get ingredients from and not wanting to spend a fortune… Although this is a big part of my job, […]
Chocolate Peanut Butter Donuts
Big thanks to Meridian Foods for recently sending me their new Rich Roast peanut butter jars in smooth and crunchy: made using only blanched hi-oleic peanuts sourced from Argentina which have been roasted for longer to deliver a richer and more intense flavour than traditional peanut butters. And let me tell you, the peanut buttery-ness […]

As a self-confessed peanut butter lover, I can’t tell you how excited I am to be working with New Zealand-based Pic’s once again, creating more divine recipes and also talking about how my toddler loves it just as much as I do and how he likes to enjoy it! I’ve spotted Pic’s peanut butter in […]

When time is short, you want something nutritious and high in protein (and also tasty!) in the morning, it’s easy to grab something unhealthy or full of sugar. So why not make your own super easy, energy and protein packed treats that taste like having a dessert for breakfast? Simply throw the muffin ingredients into […]
Peach, Blueberry & Almond Cake
Nature’s Finest Foods kindly sent me a selection of their fruit pots which are ideal if you’re on the go, want to add cooked fruit to recipes, or give to little ones to nibble on – Thomas loves the peach slices especially as they are soft on his teeth. I’ve been a fan of these […]
