These squidgy, fudgey, rich chocolate muffins studded with juicy raspberries and partnered with crunchy macadamia nuts make a HEAVENLY snack. And I mean heavenly. I’ve recently come across a process of using aquafaba as the main liquid source coupled with liquid sweetener and nut butter to really give a light, spongey and fluffy result in […]

Easter Chocolate Cake
It’s somehow the 4th month of 2019 (time is flying by so fast isn’t it?) and April signals longer days, warmer weather (hopefully) and Easter time! Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate seems to be everywhere – along with hot cross buns, little chicks, rabbits and colourful eggs and religious symbols – so from a recipe […]
Triple Chocolate Fudge Cups
I’ve worked with protein brand Barebells for a while now and this month I had to share this special recipe – layered chocolate and almond cups topped with raspberry chocolate balls for an Easter touch – because is there such a thing as too much chocolate?! Using their delicious White Chocolate & Almond no added […]
Sweet Potato Chocolate Pots
Following on from my first post about it being International Sweet Potato Week from 4th – 18th April, it’s certainly fair to say that sweet potatoes are certainly a hugely versatile ingredient that can be used in many sweet and savoury dishes, including dessert! These pots are decadent, chocolatey and secretly healthy thanks to blending […]
Berry Coconut Muffins
The guys at CoYo have developed an organic dairy-free kefir made using traditional age old methods by fermenting their coconut milk with live, vegan kefir cultures to produce a rich drink brimming with billions of live active cultures. Sound good? If you’re a fan of their wonderful yogurts and ice creams, this recent addition is […]
Banana, Coffee & Pecan Cake
GO BIG ON PLANTS. That’s the message for Alpro’s annual Plant Power Day on 7th March, aiming to show just how easy it is for us to enjoy more plants while reducing your carbon footprint and helping the environment. Sharing tips, hacks, recipes and ideas, although one day won’t change the world, it only takes […]
Perfect Breakfast Pancakes
That’s right, another pancake recipe coming right at you! Because I feel like I’m getting into the swing of making them and I’m super happy with this mixture to create the perfect breakfast pancakes – which are gluten-free, dairy-free and can be vegan (if you use maple syrup in place of honey) – so great […]
Chocolate, Banana & Coconut Pancakes
So Pancake Day is upon us which for some might just be a standard day – I mean, who DOESN’T like pancakes?? To be honest, which might come as a surprise, I don’t actually make them as much as I’d like to so when The Groovy Food Company got in touch about re-creating their breakfast […]
Banana Blueberry Loaf
As much as I love creating my own recipes, I’m always on the lookout to be inspired and try out existing ones. Bananas are one of my staples when it comes to healthy baking as they add a natural sweetness and moisture, meaning you can cut down on fat and sugar in the recipe which […]
Chocolate, Raspberry & Beetroot Cheesecake
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
