A soft chocolate sponge topped with a fudgey, rich chocolate layer finished off with a nutty, crunchy granola topping = what dreams are made of. Honestly one of my favourite bakes to date, you wouldn’t guess that this dream snack / dessert / treat is actually made up of pretty good ingredients – dates, sweet […]

Chocolate, Fig & Raspberry Cake
With Easter coming up and the season for all things chocolate, this easy and delicious cake combines figs and raspberries for extra sweetness and a fruit touch. A vegan-friendly bake using flaxseed in place of eggs, the texture is still very spongey, soft and gooey so is almost like a brownie which is even better! […]
Berry Coconut Muffins
The guys at CoYo have developed an organic dairy-free kefir made using traditional age old methods by fermenting their coconut milk with live, vegan kefir cultures to produce a rich drink brimming with billions of live active cultures. Sound good? If you’re a fan of their wonderful yogurts and ice creams, this recent addition is […]
Fudgey Apple Brownies
In collaboration with freeze-dried food company Lio Licious, I’m excited to share a recipe with you using their brand new Apple Powder.

Spiced Carrot Energy Bars
Say hello to Mokhado’s Avocado Oil, “your new kitchen and cooking staple”. You may be a big fan of this cold-pressed extra virgin type of oil, or thinking, what on earth is oil made from avocado?

Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Slice
Today has to be my favourite ‘National [insert food here’ Day’ – PEANUT BUTTER DAY. It’s my answer when someone asks what’s the food I can’t live without. 100% I consume it in some way or form every day, and I still can’t decide if I prefer crunchy or smooth to be honest! In celebration […]
Raspberry Loaf
Who doesn’t love a spot of baking? It’s fun, therapeutic and the best bit – eating the baked goods when they are ready! Whether you’re fully vegan or doing Veganuary for a challenge, baking may seem a bit daunting or uncertain if you’re not sure about what ingredients or alternatives to use compared to traditional […]
Raspberry Chocolate & Coconut Blondies
Mmmmmm BLONDIES. I’ve always seen them as a brownie’s less popular cousin, which is crazy as they are slightly less rich if you’re not in the chocolate mood, but still delicious and fudgey. With this recipe I think I’ve nailed a banging vegan mixture which is packed with juicy raspberries and Seed & Bean’s wonderfully […]

Spooky Halloween Brownies
With Halloween coming up it would only be right for me to post a themed recipe wouldn’t it?! We had a mini party with some friends the weekend before the 31st and we were hosting it, so creating some spooky treats was a given. Using pumpkin within a super easy vegan and gluten-free brownie mixture, […]
Caramelised Cinnamon Apple Brownies
Healthy home baking. That’s what many of us want, right? But time can be an issue, or not being confident in the kitchen when it comes to making healthy treats, even being unsure of where to get ingredients from and not wanting to spend a fortune… Although this is a big part of my job, […]
