Spiced Pumpkin & Pecan Loaf
Is it even autumn if you don’t include pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg in some kind of recipe?

For me, an oaty energy bar has to be chewy, not too dry or crumbly, be packed with flavour and texture and have the right balance of nuts or seeds with dried fruit – it’s sometimes a tough ratio to crack! With the addition of some cheeky chocolate chunks and a drizzle on top, these […]
