These slices of deliciousness are actually pretty healthy, high in protein, vegan friendly and don’t require […]

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 […]
Apricot, Chocolate & Pumpkin Seed Energy Bars
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 […]
Double Chocolate Cookie Topped Brownies
Nom. Nom. NOM. That’s all I have to say about these insane brownies. A healthy but delicious, rich brownie topped with lashings of chocolate drizzle, peanut butter and finished with crunchy vegan chocolate biscuits thanks to Gato & Co – yummmmm! They really are the ‘icing on the cake’. These bad boys are gluten-free, vegan […]
Blueberry, Banana & Chocolate Loaf
Who doesn’t love a good old banana loaf? Especially during lockdown, which certainly seems to have been the craze… And what I love about it, is that there are so many variations to make it a bit more exciting! I’ve coupled blueberries with dark chocolate plus a sprinkling of granola on top for a real […]
Vegan Nut Butter Swirl Brownies
I was challenged by the lovely people at The Groovy Food Company to re-create one of their favourite recipes – these Vegan Almond Butter Brownies – so of course I was happy to give them a whirl! I’ve edited the original recipe slightly (see edits below with an *) but was really happy with the […]
Sweet Potato, Blueberry & White Chocolate Donuts
When you combine sweet potato, blueberries and white chocolate, you get these delicious squidgy colourful donuts. I had a load of cooked sweet potato to use after I’d made dinner and I fancied making something sweet – but not another batch of sweet potato brownies 🙂 So I looked in my cupboards, fridge and freezer […]

Blueberry Carrot Donuts
These gorgeously decorated donuts are actually made from a carrot cake mixture studded with colourful, juicy blueberries for a delicious twist.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Easter Cake
With Easter coming up, chocolate springs to mind (obviously – and excuse the pun there 🙂 ) so when Superfood Bakery got in touch [paid post] to create a recipe using their Smile Seeker Chocolate Cake mix to celebrate the occasion, this sounded like the perfect fit. If you’ve not heard of Superfood Bakery Natural […]
Cacao Quinoa Crunch Bites
A crunchy base and topping with a deliciously rich cacao filling…These bites are ideal for an energy boosting snack or treat to satisfy those sweet cravings. Using quinoa and seeds results in an extra nutty flavour which really boosts the taste and texture. I used the raw cacao chocolate sauce from Broma Foods (vegan, no […]
Berry, Peach & Chocolate Loaf
I love a simple recipe where you can bang a load of ingredients in a bowl, whack it in a tin and bake – then out it comes, looking pretty and even better, tastes amazing! This mixture can be made into muffins, donuts, even a cake – either way the result is a moist sponge […]
