Right so these goodies really are a treat and a HALF. Inspired by a Bounty Bar (I know they can be controversial but seriously, chocolate and coconut? Match made in heaven!), in this easy no-bake recipe I’ve included a layer of raspberry jam for a burst of colour and added flavour. Vegan friendly, dairy and […]

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 […]
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 […]

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!

Caramelised Banana, Nut Butter & Chocolate Porridge
It’s officially porridge season – colder, darker mornings call for something warmer, filling and nutritious to kick off the day, and porridge is the ideal thing! However you choose to serve it, and what goes in or on top of that bowl, is totally down to you – whatever you go for, there are countless […]
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 […]

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 […]
No Bake Festive Chocolate Bites
Christmas is a time for sharing – especially when it comes to sharing the love, and what better way to do this than with baking? The main reason I enjoy this time of year is because it brings family and friends together, celebrating and sharing experiences, laughs and quality time as well as presents. With […]

Whether sweet or savoury, hot or cold, thick or runny, there are countless ways to serve the humble dish. Now we’re officially in October, I’m preparing for the autumnal […]
Dark Chocolate, Pear & Ginger Cake
Since Summer is slowly coming to a close, I’ve created this warming chocolate cake made with Montezuma’s incredible Spice It Up bar. ‘Tiny pieces of famous Chinese dragon ginger in dark chocolate. It doesn’t get much better!’ says co-founder Simon Pattinson, and I couldn’t agree more. I actually didn’t used to be a fan of […]
Dark Chocolate & Rose Festival Slice
With summer being festival season, it would only be right to create a new recipe for British chocolate brand Montezuma’s using one of their awesome festival themed bars for August. Not only that, but these guys are celebrating their 18th birthday milestone which is an incredible achievement for a brand! So with a colourful theme […]
Chocolate Strawberry Tartlets
Another month, another recipe for the fabulous British chocolate company, Montezuma’s! This time using their super moreish, vegan-friendly 58% Cocoa Dark Chocolate Giant Buttons, I thought I’d create something summery using one of my favourite fruits (and a perfect match with chocolate): STRAWBERRIES! These no-bake tartlets are really straight-forward to prepare and can be made […]
