Raspberry Chocolate Galette

A simple fruity dessert with a hint of chocolate - this raspberry chocolate galette is made using healthier ingredients and less sugar. Great for a light post-dinner treat! I'm a huge dessert fan and have a major sweet tooth (as you'll probably be able to tell by looking at my Instagram page!), and I always try to make my desserts as healthy as possible. I also want them to taste good, which is tricky without using some sort of sugar or sweeteners and fat - both of which are extremely demonised. That's why I tend to stick to natural sweeteners like dates, which are high in fibre and healthier fats like nut butters. However, those ingredients don't always work in [...]

Hazelnut Cream Bars

A biscuit base, smooth hazelnut centre all topped with dark chocolate - these hazelnut cream bars are so delicious and dreamy! I made these copycat Kinder Bueno Bars a few weeks ago and they were a massive hit! What I love most about them is that the hazelnut cream centre is literally made up of 2 ingredients only - white chocolate and hazelnut butter! I just love recipes with few ingredients. I wanted to use that 2 ingredient hazelnut cream and incorporate it into another one of my popular recipes - these Biscoff Squares. These hazelnut cream bars are made using healthier ingredients like oats, ground almonds and hazelnut butter. I always try to use less sugar/sweetener in my treats [...]

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 [...]

Single Serving Chocolate Stuffed Choc Chip Cookies

A delicious soft cookie filled with a chocolatey surprise! This single serving chocolate stuffed choc chip cookie is a must try when you're craving something sweet. I've mentioned before how much I love single serving desserts. I recently shared this single serving cinnamon roll and it was a hit on social media! I know many of you love baking and would do it on a daily basis if you could. The only problem is if you bake a dozen cookies, a cake or tray bakes, it will take a few days and lots of mouths to finish them off before you can bake again. Not ideal for someone like me who wants to bake something new every day! I live [...]

Single Serving Vegan Cinnamon Roll

A delicious & warming treat that's ready in no time! This single serving vegan cinnamon roll is the perfect treat when you're craving something comforting that's not overly indulgent. I've made my fair share of single-serving recipes that you can make in the microwave in a couple of minutes. Recipes like: • Single Serving Chocolate Chip Cookie• Vegan Gluten-Free Chocolate Mug Cake• Vegan Peanut Butter Mug Cake• Banana Bread Mug Cake However, every single time I post a recipe that's cooked in the microwave, the first question I get asked is "I don't like using the microwave, can I bake it in the oven instead?". So today I'm sharing a quick and easy single serving dessert recipe that's baked in [...]

Mini Vegan Pecan Pies

An easy and comforting treat - these mini vegan pecan pies are so delicious and can easily be made gluten-free too! Pecans (along with pistachios!) are my favourite nut. They're so addictive when roasted and taste so delicious when they come in the form of a decadent and warming pie. This recipe is based on my festive spiced pecan pie that I created a couple of years ago for Christmas. I haven't made a vegan pie since (I have no idea why!) and I've been craving some recently, so thought it was about time I make another one. I wanted to make an even easier version of my recipe using ready rolled shortcrust pastry. I know that pastry is not [...]

Vegan Gluten-free Cinnamon Roll Cookies

Vegan Gluten-free Cinnamon Roll Cookies Cinnamon rolls with a twist, or are they cinnamon cookies with a twist? I'm not sure, but what I do know is that these vegan gluten-free cinnamon roll cookies are absolutely delicious and super addictive. Having only one is not an option I always enjoy baking with spices, but even more do during winter and especially closer to Christmas time. I grew up not celebrating Christmas, even though I'm half English, I grew up in Iraq, a muslim country and there weren't many English/Christian people around us, so there didn't seem much of a point to celebrate it. Also, I grew up in a third world, war torn country that was subjected to sanctions that made it difficult [...]

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 [...]

Vegan Cookie Dough Ice Cream

*This post is sponsored by Planted* Creamy homemade dairy-free and vegan ice cream that’s made using a handful of ingredients – this vegan cookie dough ice cream is no churn and so easy to make!   It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here and I’m so sorry for my absence! It’s been a hectic few months moving house, working on lots of side projects and client work and just busy with life in general. I’ve still been active on my Instagram page as it’s always been my main platform and creative outlet where I share all of my recipes. Since Instagram Reels came along late last year, I've started filming and editing A LOT more videos, which take [...]
