It’s summer time and right now, the weather in the UK is HOTTTTT. As I’m sure many of you do, I love a sweet frozen treat to cool down – ice cream and ice lollies all the way! But if you’re looking for something a little healthier but equally delicious, these easy and gorgeous mini […]
RECIPES
Cherry Coconut Flapjacks
When I was invited to be involved in the Jerte Picota Cherries summer campaign [paid post] to create a recipe based on snacking, flapjacks popped straight into my head. Coupled with a strong coconut vibe – using flakes, sugar and oil – these juicy cherries are the perfect addition to this traditional sweet treat. These […]
Apricot, Chocolate & Pumpkin Seed Energy Bars
For me, an oaty energy bar has to be chewy, not too dry or crumbly, be packed with flavour and texture and have the right balance of nuts or seeds with dried fruit – it’s sometimes a tough ratio to crack! With the addition of some cheeky chocolate chunks and a drizzle on top, these […]
Pistachio, Berry & White Chocolate Donuts
I’m just in love with this recipe. Not only do these donuts look gorgoues, they taste incredible thanks to a combination of a chocolate oat base, chia berry middle, white chocolate topping…and the addition of pistachio butter layer for extra richness. The flavours all compliment each other so well and the colours make these treats […]
Hawaiian Halloumi
‘Pineapple and cheese is an undisputed retro party classic. We’ve given it a modern twist with spiced halloumi and a zingy little salsa.’ Cheers to HelloFresh for the inspiration on this vegetarian recipe – a delicious combination of some of my favourite ingredients and flavours. As part of a [sponsored post] challenge, I had to […]
Double Chocolate Cookie Topped Brownies
Nom. Nom. NOM. That’s all I have to say about these insane brownies. A healthy but delicious, rich brownie topped with lashings of chocolate drizzle, peanut butter and finished with crunchy vegan chocolate biscuits thanks to Gato & Co – yummmmm! They really are the ‘icing on the cake’. These bad boys are gluten-free, vegan […]
Blueberry, Banana & Chocolate Loaf
Who doesn’t love a good old banana loaf? Especially during lockdown, which certainly seems to have been the craze… And what I love about it, is that there are so many variations to make it a bit more exciting! I’ve coupled blueberries with dark chocolate plus a sprinkling of granola on top for a real […]
Berry Porridge Bowl
Hey there pretty porridge bowl! Not only is this such a gorgeous vibrant dish to brighten up any morning, it’s also packed with goodness and flavour! I used Gato & Co‘s incredible gluten-free, vegan and dairy-free Almond Butter & Raspberry Cookies which let me tell you, are HIGHLY addictive. Oh, and work wonderfully as a […]
Coffee Crumble Muffins
Heaven in a muffin cup – soft coffee infused muffins with an oaty crumble topping. The smell of these coming fresh out of the oven is just divine, and definitely something to start the day with! You could dark chocolate chips to the muffin mixture for extra indulgence, or even make this batch into a […]
Raspberry & Pistachio Baked Oat Pots
I haven’t tried pistachio nut butter or pistachio drink – up until now, thanks to the lovely people at Borna for sending me some of their pistachio products to try. And let me tell you, as far as the nut butter and dairy-free milk market is concerned, this stuff is a GAMECHANGER! The artisan pistachio […]
Triple Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
There’s no messing around with this recipe. One of THE most delicious, indulgent treats I’ve made – and they happen to be vegan-friendly, dairy-free and gluten-free so don’t worry about missing out! A simple chocolate oat case filling with a smooth peanut butter chocolate layer, smothered in a dark chocolate (yes, MORE chocolate!) topping…Need I […]
Chocolate Strawberry Tartlets
Who doesn’t love the strawberry and chocolate combination? One of the best – especially when it’s made into these delicious no-bake tarts! Inspired by summer and the wonderful weather we’ve been having, I whizzed these up with ingredients I had in my cupboard and some fresh strawberries we had growing in the garden. You could […]
Vegan Nut Butter Swirl Brownies
I was challenged by the lovely people at The Groovy Food Company to re-create one of their favourite recipes – these Vegan Almond Butter Brownies – so of course I was happy to give them a whirl! I’ve edited the original recipe slightly (see edits below with an *) but was really happy with the […]
Sweet Potato, Blueberry & White Chocolate Donuts
When you combine sweet potato, blueberries and white chocolate, you get these delicious squidgy colourful donuts. I had a load of cooked sweet potato to use after I’d made dinner and I fancied making something sweet – but not another batch of sweet potato brownies 🙂 So I looked in my cupboards, fridge and freezer […]
Pear, Berry & Chocolate Crumble
Another recipe that can definitely be served for breakfast as well as dessert – because you know, it contains fruit, oats, nuts, good fats, not too much sugar and…a cheeky bit of gut-friendly OhSo chocolate! Simple to whip up, use whatever fruit you have in the fridge, fruit bowl or freezer – it’s a really […]
