Winter has officially arrived! After a beautiful summer we’re really feeling the cold, so we’re going to need something to warm us up. My latest recipe working with the fantastic British chocolate company, Montezuma’s, is sure to do just that! A generous layer of cinnamon coated pears – feel free to use any seasonal fruits, […]

Chocolate Peanut Butter Donuts
Big thanks to Meridian Foods for recently sending me their new Rich Roast peanut butter jars in smooth and crunchy: made using only blanched hi-oleic peanuts sourced from Argentina which have been roasted for longer to deliver a richer and more intense flavour than traditional peanut butters. And let me tell you, the peanut buttery-ness […]
PB & J Brownies
Right guys – peanut butter lovers, I’m talking to you especially – I’m pretty excited about sharing this treat of a recipe with you in partnership with the wonderful Pic’s peanut butter once again! Imagine – gooey, dense, rich brownies topped with swirls of peanut butter and jam for extra taste and to totally wow […]
Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookie Sandwiches
As a self-confessed peanut butter lover, I can’t tell you how excited I am to be working with New Zealand-based Pic’s once again, creating more divine recipes and also talking about how my toddler loves it just as much as I do and how he likes to enjoy it! I’ve spotted Pic’s peanut butter in […]
Chocolate Protein Breakfast Muffins
When time is short, you want something nutritious and high in protein (and also tasty!) in the morning, it’s easy to grab something unhealthy or full of sugar. So why not make your own super easy, energy and protein packed treats that taste like having a dessert for breakfast? Simply throw the muffin ingredients into […]
Peach, Blueberry & Almond Cake
Nature’s Finest Foods kindly sent me a selection of their fruit pots which are ideal if you’re on the go, want to add cooked fruit to recipes, or give to little ones to nibble on – Thomas loves the peach slices especially as they are soft on his teeth. I’ve been a fan of these […]
Chocolate Fudge Cake – Big Chocolate Tea Party
Every Spring, The Sick Children’s Trust run their biggest annual fundraiser, Big Chocolate Tea, which encourages anyone to bake, drink tea and eat cake for a good cause. YEARS ago my friend Ruby and I teamed up and hosted our own Mad Hatter’s themed one in North Yorkshire which was so much fun and went down […]
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 […]
Pear & Walnut Brownies
I eat nuts in some form every day. Peanut butter spooned onto something (or straight from the jar!), walnuts sprinkled over porridge, pecans baked into a recipe, or snacking on Brazil nuts – they are just very basic examples. Years ago I used to be afraid of the fat content but after reading up on […]
Cherry, Pear & Almond Cake
Mother’s Day is coming up and now the Spring is finally here (although the recent weather would say otherwise!), I wanted to celebrate by sharing one of my favourite cake recipes to date. Both my Mum and I love the combination of juicy cherries, sweet pears and nutty almonds so it was only right to […]
Apple, Raisin & Cinnamon Baked Oats
If I had to pick a favourite fruit, apples would definitely be up there. They have to be crisp, juicy, not too sweet or too tart, and mostly red with a green twinge. I eat at least one a day; as it is, chopped up and added to a big bowl of yogurt and berries, […]
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. The way I see it is to lead a happy, healthy, balanced diet throughout the whole […]
Chocolate, Coffee & Chestnut Torte
So it’s December – HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?! And we all know what that means – the season of celebration, festivities and getting into the spirit of Christmas, woohoo! I don’t know about you but even with a baby, my diary is jam-packed with events, parties, family get-togethers and plenty of work to crack on […]

For all you coffee lovers, if you haven’t already, you must check out the slick new Percol Coffee website. Full of inspiration, beautiful flatlays and more about the brand’s wonderful offerings, it’s an honour to be working with these guys on creating #IndulgingInnocently recipes every month!
