I spent a lot of time creating plenty of Valentine’s Day themed recipes for the brands I work with running up to February 14th so I thought I should have at least one on my blog too! Using ingredients I had to hand in my kitchen, I wanted to make an easy dessert that could […]
Gluten-free
Pretty Pink Coconut & White Chocolate Bars
As if I needed any kind of excuse to share another chocolate recipe… Thanks to Seed & Bean for a recent delivery, which included a bar of their sensational Raspberry & Vanilla White Chocolate, I thought I’d make use of pretty pink colour in a Valentine’s themed recipe. Combined with a no-bake oaty base and […]
Banana & Cinnamon Granola Muffins
Spoon Cereals are a team of breakfast enthusiasts who produce delicious and healthy granola and muesli in the UK. Their venture began with a passion for making breakfast better – and as a result, became obsessed with making cereal that’s tastier, healthier, simpler and more exciting! As a self-confessed granola addict (it’s too east to open a […]
Energy Boosting Cherry, Coconut & Chocolate Bites
‘Delicious chocolate with good intentions’ is what Benefit Chocolate is all about. Part of the Benefit Drinks family, who make wonderful juices like carrot, beetroot and prune, I always get excited when I get the chance to work with one of my favourite ingredients! With three different 85% cacao dark chocolate bars in the range […]
Date Caramel Dandelion & Burdock Pudding
I’m posting this recipe while I’m sat by the window looking out onto a very cold, snowy garden. That’s right, the UK has been hit by the white stuff so it’s feeling very cosy indeed – and the perfect timing for a warming recipe like this one! Working once again with Mr Fitzpatrick’s Vintage Cordials, […]
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 […]
Fruity Bircher Breakfast Bowl
We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day – even more so if we’re trying to be that little bit more health conscious in January. There are no excuses to skip it, especially if people think they don’t have time, which is where this recipe comes to the rescue. Developed […]
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 […]
Chocolate Chunk Cookie Dough Bites
These vegan-friendly cookie dough bites are genuinely one of the best things I’ve made. Almost like a mix between a cookie and shortbread biscuit, it’s simply made from oats and cashews blended with coconut oil, nut butter and maple syrup to provide the creamiest base spiked with delicious chunks of Montezuma’s incredible Like No Udder […]
Rhubarb, Rose & Orange Berry Traybake
Another collaboration with Mr Fitzpatrick’s Vintage Cordials ahoy! It’s always a pleasure to work with this wonderful drinks brand using their no added sugar cordials, they pack in such a punch of flavour and it’s nice to use them as a natural flavouring and boost things like cakes, loafs and other healthy bakes. This time […]
Salted Caramel, Peanut Butter & Chocolate Bites
January is all about green juices, detoxes and zero treats, right? WRONG. I’m all about balance, health and not succumbing to ridiculous trends or jumping on meaningless, damaging bandwagons of slimming teas, weight loss shakes or fat-burning tablets… Instead, treating healthy living as a long-term way of life, enjoying food and exercising for the body […]
Chocolate Orange Cheesecake Tart
I’ve been a big fan of Perkier! for many years, a brand offering some healthy gluten-free products like porridge pots and snack bars which are all palm-oil free and full of goodness. It’s been a pleasure to work with these guys and create recipes in the past which is why I’m so excited to be sharing […]
Raw White Chocolate & Peanut Butter Festive Cake
OK guys, this is one of the recipes I’m most proud of to date. Working with the wonderful Pic’s peanut butter, this festive dessert is a feast in itself and certainly worth making every element: An oat, date and nut mixed spice base topped with a salted peanut butter and maple syrup middle layer, finished […]
Cranberry, Almond & Apple Loaf
In the run up to Christmas it’s all getting very festive in my kitchen, making all sorts of healthy treats working with some exciting brands! Including a collaboration once again with the wonderful drinks brand, Mr Fitzpatrick’s Vintage Cordials. Using varieties from their no added sugar range, this time around it’s the English Elderflower & […]
