As we’re heading into winter, it’s all about those warming spices – ginger, cinnamon – as well as bold, colourful ingredients like dried cranberries and pumpkin seeds. Coupled with the burst of orange zest and sneaking in some grated carrot and mashed banana for adding nutrients, these chunky snack bar are bursting with taste, texture […]

Raspberry & White Chocolate Cookies
What happens when you get raspberries + white chocolate + the best crunchy-on-the-outside, soft-in-the-inside cookies? This recipe! So simple to make and absolutely delicious to eat (especially when they’re still warm, fresh out of the oven), I can guarantee they will go down a treat. This vegan-friendly recipe would work amazingly with dark chocolate instead […]
Vegan White Chocolate, Cacao & Coconut Bites
Here’s a story about this recipe – it was featured in the October issue of Vegan Living magazine which was pretty cool! I always love seeing my recipes and photography in print; there’s something so satisfying about it, something that bit more meaningful than simply seeing it on a screen. It’s one of my favourite […]
Pumpkin & Chocolate Swirl Slice
Pumpkin is incredibly popular at this time of year – mostly as a means of carving and creating scary designs, but we shouldn’t let that delicious mild flesh inside go to waste! Remove the thick skin, cut into cubes and steam then blend – and there you go, your very own (cheaper) pumpkin puree. I […]
Caramelised Banana, Nut Butter & Chocolate Porridge

Porridge, overnight oats, bircher…Ahhhh oats, don’t you just love them? So versatile, so nutritious, so tasty. And when autumn rolls around, a dish of warm baked oats is the perfect way to start the day (or eat cold/warmed up at any time of day to be honest!). Filling, packed full of fibre and slow release […]
Dark Chocolate, Apricot & Pumpkin Seed Energy Bars
I think a good snack bar packed with natural energy thanks to dried fruit, oats, seeds/nuts is one of my favourite things to make at the moment. Once you’ve nailed a good basic mixture – in this case, a combination of dates, maple syrup and nut butter to combine the dry ingredients and create a […]
Date & Pumpkin Seed Granola
Anyone else a breakfast lover like me? As in, it’s up there as a favourite meal of the day? I go through phases whether I’m in the mood for yogurt and fruit, a smoothie, a big bowl of warming porridge, or…GRANOLA! One of the most addictive things ever, there are a couple of brands whose […]

Tropical No Bake Muesli Bars
A super easy recipe using only SIX ingredients, these healthy bars are bursting with natural energy and tropical vibes.

These deliciously gooey, rich and decadent brownies are the […]
