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 […]
Oppo Chia Pudding Smoothie Bowls 2 Ways
So the heatwave in the UK is STILL going strong (isn’t this what this season should be like anyway?) which means for many of us, we’re craving chilled or frozen foods to help keep us cool. Plus the thought of cooking or baking just goes straight out the window when it’s already like 30 degrees […]
Chocolate & Salted Caramel Peanut Butter Bites
This has to be one of my most requested recipes – I wasn’t planning on it going on the blog but after I shared a (not very good) photo on my Instagram asking if anyone fancied it, the response was crazy! It was recently my husband James’ birthday and as part of the celebrations, we […]
Clean Supper Club Collab: Porridge 3 Ways
If you don’t already, you MUST follow the Clean Supper Club girls on Instagram – especially their Instagram Stories. Beautiful shots and wicked typefaces, I’m a huge fan of how they creatively use the app to showcase their delicious, healthy creations. We’d met briefly at the Northern Blog Awards back in September so it was […]
Spiced Pumpkin Caramel Brownie Bites
Pumpkin, pumpkin spice, spiced pumpkin… Honestly, I can’t get enough of it. And while I don’t go down the route of these seasonal drinks in Starbucks, I really enjoy making creations based on this combination of pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. Along with my love for Pic’s peanut butter, this time round I’m also using […]
Peanut Butter & Chocolate Banana Blondies
Have you seen my post in collaboration with Pic’s peanut butter, talking about being a new mum and keeping energy levels up? I share some of my favourite recipe ideas that help to give me as boost – and these blondies are no exception. One of my all-time favourite sweet treats, these combine the perfect […]
Eating Well for Motherhood with Pic’s
I can’t believe I am a mum to a 2 month old baby; a gorgeous little man who has turned our lives around in the best possible way. Over the past few weeks we’ve been getting into more of a routine; James is working full-time I’m also continuing my freelance and blog work around keeping […]
Chocolate, Peanut Butter & Jam Tartlets
Back with another recipe using one of my favourite store cupboard essentials for healthy, gluten-free baking: Tiger Nut flour! As a whole, tiger nuts, are 100% gluten-free, organic, nut-free (ironically), dairy-free, low in calories and fats and ideal for those on a paleo diet. What’s more, because they have so much fibre they make you […]
Newburn Bakehouse Gluten-Free Crumpet Challenge
I have fond memories as a child being greeted by a plate of freshly toasted crumpets, smothered in butter and topped with jam – not the healthiest but as a comforting breakfast or supper treat. It’s been a good 10+ years since I had the pleasure of indulging in this experience, mainly because of being […]
Banana, Peanut Butter & Jam Muffins
I’m back again with another recipe working together with Graham’s Family Dairy using one of my all-time favourite ingredients: Quark. Fat-free thick, creamy soft cheese ideal to use in all kinds of cooking and baking as a healthier alternative, I eat this stuff pretty much every day – mainly for breakfast, mixed together with my […]
No-Bake Chocolate Coated Peanut Butter & Jam Donuts
I had a very specific urge recently. I wanted to make donuts, but didn’t want to bake. I wanted a peanut butter and jam combination, but something a little different. And I wanted chocolate, a crisp, crunchy shell coating. Very random and specific I know, so that’s where these bad boys came into fruition. They […]
Vegan Double Chocolate Apple & Peanut Cookies
It was an absolute pleasure to get together with my fellow healthy baking-loving friend, The Healthy Beard, for an afternoon of getting creative in the kitchen. We had so much fun making, decorating, snapping and eating a selection of delicious but healthy chocolate treats. Here’s the first of our three recipes, a collaboration which we’ll […]
