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 […]

Vanilla Berry Cake
I’m pleased to say that this month I’ve teamed up with Perkier and International Animal Rescue for their ‘Cakes for Apes’ campaign to help raise awareness and money for the critically endangered Orangutans in West Borneo. There are only 100,000 left in the wild… But in the 10 years IAR have been going they have […]
Chocolate, Fig & Raspberry Cake
With Easter coming up and the season for all things chocolate, this easy and delicious cake combines figs and raspberries for extra sweetness and a fruit touch. A vegan-friendly bake using flaxseed in place of eggs, the texture is still very spongey, soft and gooey so is almost like a brownie which is even better! […]
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 […]
Sweet Potato Veggie Biryani
Did you know that International Sweet Potato Week runs from 4th to 18th April? An initiative from The American Sweet Potato Marketing Institute to encourage everyone to incorporate more sweet potatoes into their diet, they are one of my favourite ingredients in a number of both sweet and savoury dishes – I love the naturally […]
Apple, Cinnamon & Date Porridge Pots
Naturally nutritious, crunchy and delicious, Great British apples are one of the nation’s best loved fruit. Whether cooking up a storm or looking for a wholesome snack on the go, there’s an apple for every occasion – which is why it’s great to collaborate with Great British Apples and share the love for one of […]
Strawberry & Redcurrant Cake
Spiked with strawberries and a hint of lemon, these freeze-dried redcurrants make the ideal partnership with a light and spongy cake and creamy topping. Easy to make gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan, this would be great to make for a special occasion or to impress. Another recipe working with freeze-dried product brand, Lio Licious, this recipe […]
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 […]
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 […]
