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 […]
Sweet Treats
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Chocolate, Fruit & Seed Protein Bars
Use store-cupboard ingredients to make these easy, healthy and slightly more indulgent bars for an energy boosting snack (and to satisfy those chocolate cravings!). Great for kids to enjoy as well as adults at any time of day, you can use whatever dried fruit or nuts/seeds you have available. Ingredients: For the base – 150g […]
Chocolate Cheesecake Pots
I love a dessert recipe that is easy to make, doesn’t involve too many complicated ingredients and results in a rich, decadent sweet treat that’s super chocolatey! Simply whizz up the base ingredients that you also use for the topping, whizz up the sweet potato-based filling, chill in the fridge and there you go! Ingredients: […]
