Cherry, Pear & Almond Crumble Tart

When pears, cherries and almonds come together in this recipe, they create such a delicious, juicy, fruity, tangy and nutty combination that’s just irresistable. I love making simple tarts made with an oat crust and crumble topping, filled with whatever fruits you may have on hand – an effective and healthy way to enjoy a […]

Persimon® Orange Tart

If there’s one thing I love about autumn, it’s the seasonal product it brings with it – the bountiful fruit and vegetables that are thriving during this time of year. One of those is P.D.O. Persimon® from Spain which is available in all major retailers from October to early January and are grown in the Ribera del Xúquer […]
Spiced Pumpkin & Pecan Loaf

Is it even autumn if you don’t include pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg in some kind of recipe? Especially when you combine all of these flavours with a ‘caramel’ element thanks to using the wonder ingredient, tahini, alongside Sweet Freedom’s caramel syrup! Honestly, this loaf is one of my favourite autumnal recipes I’ve baked and […]
Berry Chocolate Coconut Tartlets

Right now we’re enjoying a last burst of summer in the UK – that late September warm sunshine after a pretty rubbish ‘summer time’ throughout July and August (isn’t that always the case?!). I thought I’d share this delicious, pretty no-bake dessert to celebrate the sun in partnership with Nature’s Charm [paid recipe]. A super […]
Caramel Crunch Popcorn Bars

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! Yum indeed! Yes they sound decadenet (they are), but they are made with no refined sugar, are vegan-friendly, dairy and gluten-free (if you use […]

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 […]
Double Chocolate Cookie Topped Brownies

Nom. Nom. NOM. That’s all I have to say about these insane brownies.

They really are the ‘icing on the cake’. These bad boys are gluten-free, vegan […]
Coffee Crumble Muffins

Heaven in a muffin cup – soft coffee infused muffins with an oaty crumble topping. The smell of these coming fresh out of the oven is just divine, and definitely something to start the day with! You could dark chocolate chips to the muffin mixture for extra indulgence, or even make this batch into a […]
Chocolate Strawberry Tartlets

Who doesn’t love the strawberry and chocolate combination? One of the best – especially when it’s made into these delicious no-bake tarts! Inspired by summer and the wonderful weather we’ve been having, I whizzed these up with ingredients I had in my cupboard and some fresh strawberries we had growing in the garden. You could […]
