Pumpkin is incredibly popular at this time of year – mostly as a means of carving and creating scary designs, but we shouldn’t let that delicious mild flesh inside go to waste! Remove the thick skin, cut into cubes and steam then blend – and there you go, your very own (cheaper) pumpkin puree. I […]

Cranberry, Hemp Seed & Carob Flapjack
If you love chocolate, something you may not have heard of or tried before is CAROB. It’s a slightly different taste to cacao and cocoa – I personally think it tastes sweeter, creamier and less bitter – and unlike cocoa powder and chocolate, carob is caffeine-free plus it contains three times as much calcium and is higher in dietary fibre. […]

Matcha Cherry Cheesecake Pots
In the summer months I love creating light, delicious desserts that don’t take ages to make and and can simply be whizzed up, thrown together and left in the fridge. Which is where this easy recipes comes in, which couples matcha and cherry to create a vibrant combination of colours, while silken tofu is the […]

Macadamia & Cacao Granola Bites
When it comes to my #IndulgingInnocently recipes, a lot of the time I get feedback saying the easy, no-bake treats are what you guys want – healthy ingredients but not too faffy or hours in the oven to make. Also when it comes to flavour combinations, anything chocolate / caramel / nut butter is always […]
Mango, Lime & Coconut Tarts
I’m sure that many of us have been affected by mental health issues in some way – whether that be depression, anxiety, eating disorders to name but a few – and worryingly it seems to be on the rise. However one thing I’ve noticed over the past few years is how much more open we […]
Raspberry Brownie Muffins
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 […]

There are only 100,000 left in the wild… But in the 10 years IAR have been going they have […]
