5-Ingredient No-bake Pistachio Brownies

5-Ingredient No-bake Pistachio Brownies

These 5-ingredient no-bake pistachio brownies are so moreish, require no baking and are packed with nutrients! Perfect if you’re looking for a super easy and yummy dessert. Why I love making these 5-ingredient no-bake pistachio brownies: No-bake desserts are my favourite type of treats to make. They’re so easy, call for few ingredients and taste so good! What I also love about them is that you can adjust the taste and texture as you go along rather than having to wait for something to bake before you know whether it’s worked or not. I've made a couple of different variations of these brownies over the years, based on one of my most popular blog recipes so far - these 5-ingredient no-bake [...]

Healthy No-Bake Brownies

Healthy No-Bake Brownies

These healthy no-bake brownies are a must-try. You only need a handful of easy to find ingredients and there's no baking required. They're also a great source of fibre (from the oats), healthy fats (from the tahini) and antioxidants (from the cocoa/dark chocolate). They taste decadent whilst being good for you - that's the kind of dessert I want more of in my life! One of my most popular recipes on my blog are these no-bake chocolate covered brownies. I get why they're so loved - they're easy, tasty and fool-proof, so anyone can make them. They're also just as decadent and satisfying as a regular brownie (I think so anyway!), but made with healthier ingredients like dates, tahini, cocoa [...]

Christmas Tree Protein Brownies

Christmas Tree Protein Brownies

A festive treat with a healthy twist - these Christmas tree protein brownies are the perfect healthier treat if you're looking for something tasty, but not overly indulgent. They're no-bake, easy to make and taste so good! There's no doubt that Christmas is a time of indulgence. There are so many treats around everywhere you go. It's always a challenge to eat healthy with so many temptations around. Of course there's absolutely nothing wrong in indulging, I would never encourage abstaining from yummy food, especially during a period when many of us socialise with family, friends and work colleagues. However, some of us (myself included) find that the indulging often starts early December and doesn't end until early January. That's [...]

5-Ingredient No-Bake Chocolate Covered Brownies

5-Ingredient No-Bake Chocolate Covered Brownies

Delicious and so decadent - these 5-ingredient no-bake chocolate covered brownies are the perfect no fuss, easy and delicious treat! Seems like I'm currently on a chocolate marathon. I've been posting so many recipes recently that feature chocolate quite heavily. Not that I've had any complaints from you here or on my social media channels. I think it's the time of year - it's so cold and gloomy most days that I (and I'm sure many of you are with me on this one) need some comfort foods to keep me going! Luckily these no-bake brownies are healthier than your average brownie - packed with fibre and healthy fats from the dates and tahini. What makes them even better is [...]

Vegan Tahini Brownies

Vegan Tahini Brownies

So these brownies were kind of an accident. Is it just me or are the best recipes usually the ones that don't go to plan, instead they result in something even better! I was trying to make egg free chocolate cookies, but they didn't turn out exactly the way I planned, so I decided to turn them into brownies instead...and here's the result!

No-bake Pistachio Brownies

No-bake Pistachio Brownies

A super easy and decadent treat - these no-bake pistachio brownies are rich and chocolatey, but made with healthier ingredients! A simple no-bake base packed with oats, cocoa, a little maple syrup to sweeten and a bit of coconut oil to bind everything together. The centre is made up of pistachio butter, whole pistachios and a little more coconut oil and maple syrup. Pistachios are such an underrated nut. It's by far my favourite nut. I do think it's so underrated and under used in the west. Whereas in the Middle East where I grew up, it's the most popular. They use it in so many desserts and even savoury dishes. But they're mostly enjoyed on their own - salted [...]

Protein Vegan Skillet Brownie

Protein Vegan Skillet Brownie

A delicious brownie that tastes like a decadent treat, but made with better for you ingredients! As well as using ingredients like oats, nut/seed butters, I also love using protein powder in desserts to improve the nutrient content and make it healthier. It's also an easy way to add extra flavour and sweetness without adding extra sugar. This protein vegan skillet is the perfect comforting dessert to warm you up on cold days. There's nothing more comforting than a warm, gooey, chocolatey treat to lift your mood when the weather is getting you down and you're in desperate need for some cheering up. It's also perfect for sharing. I'd say it serves 4 people, but of course depending on your [...]

Chocolate Tahini Cardamom Squares

Chocolate Tahini Cardamom Squares

Delicious, decadent and fudgy - these chocolate tahini cardamom bars are no-bake, made with healthier ingredients and are packed with aromatic flavours! If you've followed my blog and socials for a while, you'll know all about my love for tahini. I have countless recipes (mainly desserts) where tahini is the star of the show. You'll also know that I'm a self confessed chocoholic, so of course I'm always trying to marry those two ingredients together to make as many yummy treats as possible! I read this quote by Ottolenghi the other day where he said "Tahini is something that runs in the veins of the people in the Middle East” and “It's like olive oil to southern Europe.”. That definitely [...]

Healthier Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake

Healthier Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake

A lighter cake made with healthier ingredients - this healthier chocolate peanut butter cake is perfect if you're looking for a lighter celebration cake or if you're craving a slice of cake, but want something more nutritious to satisfy those cravings! I created this cake to celebrate BULK's 15th birthday! I'm proud to say I've been a BULK ambassador since January this year and it's been such a pleasure being part of their team. There are many reasons I love working with BULK. As someone from an ethnic minority, it's amazing to work with such a huge brand and feel so included as part of their massive team of ambassadors. It's also great to know that I work with a [...]

Chocolate Salted Caramel Cups

Chocolate Salted Caramel Cups

Delicious, decadent and completely plant-based! These chocolate salted caramel cups are so easy to make with only a handful of ingredients! * This post is sponsored by Nature’s Charm* No-bake recipes are my favourite kind of recipes to make, but especially so on a hot day like today. I can’t even think about turning the oven to bake something right now - it's that hot and humid! All you need to make these cups is a bowl, spoon and moulds/muffin pan - that's it! Mix the dough ingredients together, press into the pan then fill the centre with ready made vegan salted caramel sauce. I used Nature's Charm coconut based salted caramel sauce. Because it's so sweet, I made sure not [...]
