How’s about a peanut butter oat baked base, topped with a smooth date caramel, topped with crunchy popcorn, cacao nibs and coconut chips, and finished off with a peanut butter drizzle…MMMMM!

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

Chocolate, Goji Berry & Seed Energy Bars
Detoxing, weight loss, juice diets… Yes, sadly we’re bombarded with drastic diets and pressure to lose weight with quick fix, unrealistic solutions at the start of January – many of which are abandoned by the end of the month.
