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 […]
Easter
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 […]
Peanut Butter Carob Eggs
When it comes to making your own Easter treats, you might want something quick, simple and a little bit healthier, but still effective – which is where this recipe comes in. Homemade little eggs combining a layer of creamy peanut butter fudge with a nutty carob base to provide irresistible, indulgent bites in every mouthful. […]
Strong Roots Easter Feast: Veggie Toad in the Hole
If you’re on the look out for quick, convenient and healthy foods when time is short but you still want to eat well, award-winning brand Strong Roots should be on your radar. Last year I worked with these guys (check out my Veggie Chilli-Loaded Sweet Potato Fries and Squidgy Avocado & Walnut Protein Brownies recipes!) […]
Chocolate & Salted Caramel Peanut Butter Bites
This has to be one of my most requested recipes – I wasn’t planning on it going on the blog but after I shared a (not very good) photo on my Instagram asking if anyone fancied it, the response was crazy! It was recently my husband James’ birthday and as part of the celebrations, we […]
Vegan Carrot Cake Muffins
Working with the wonderful wholefoods company Indigo Herbs, I’ve created a special Easter-themed recipe that also happens to be vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and contains no refined sugar – a nice break from all that chocolate and just as delicious 😉 These muffins are a twist on the classic carrot cake and are packed full of […]
Rich Chocolate Coffee Tarts
I’m very aware that chocolate will be a strong theme this month with Easter coming up, so I thought why not jump on that bandwagon and embrace it?! As you know I create a recipe working with the wonderful Percol Coffee every month so with this celebration and also Mother’s Day in mind, I wanted […]
Not-So-Indulgent Chocolate Easter Cake
I think out of all the Easter-themed recipes I have created and posted on my blog recently, this is my favourite Easter #IndulgingInnocently creation. To coincide with International Sweet Potato Week (from 1st – 13th April) in collaboration with American Sweet Potatoes (you may have seen my other recipes over here) I’ve created a wonderfully delicious […]
Vegan Cream Eggs
One of my challenges was to try and re-create a healthy kind of Cream Egg alternative this Easter. Although what I created was slightly different to what I envisaged, I was actually pretty happy with how these delicious treats turned out. They are frozen little goodies rather than a chocolate shell encasing a gooey centre, […]
Rocky Road Easter Slice
For those of you who love a bit more of a treat, this a slightly more indulgent recipe for Easter – a twist on the classic Rocky Road. Using Jim Jam’s incredible no added sugar chocolate spread to combine a mixture of oats, fruits and nuts plus the added special Mini Eggs, this would make […]
Perkier Cacao Easter Egg Nests
Let’s make a delicious, no bake recipe for Easter using…Perkier bars! In case you haven’t heard of them, in a nutshell they are tasty, gluten, dairy and wheat-free with no refined sugar and vegan friendly snack bars ideal for on the go. Now with six varieties in the range, there’s something for all tastes – […]
White Chocolate Tarts & Espresso Chocolate Eggs
With Easter approaching, I’ve been super busy in the kitchen making all kinds of healthy chocolatey treats! I’m all about balance so I thought for this month’s recipe working with Percol Coffee I’d create something a little special using the ‘deep, dark and intense’ Classic Italiano blend. Ideal to serve as a stunning, no-bake dessert, […]
White Chocolate Easter Bites
A while ago you have have seen these Superfood White Chocolate Bites I made working with the wonderful health food brand, Indigo Herbs, using a range of their organic products. With Easter coming up it only seemed right to create another chocolate-based recipe especially for this sweet celebration! We wanted to keep the homemade white […]
Leftover Easter chocolate? Make these Vanilla & Almond Cookies!
I know, I know – there may not even be such thing as ‘leftover chocolate’ from Easter…But if, like me, you were given the darker, richer variety, it seems to last that little bit longer. So with some Lindt Excellence 70% dark chocolate egg to spare, rather than just shove it in my mouth I […]
Healthy Carrot Cake
Easter isn’t all about chocolate…It wouldn’t be the same without Carrot Cake, would it?! I think this is honestly my favourite recipe to date, a totally clean, moist and bloody delicious slice which is sure to go down a treat over the Bank Holiday weekend. You can leave out the icing if you want – […]
