Healthy Gingerbread Cookies

Healthy Gingerbread Cookies

A smooth chocolate ganache sandwiched in between 2 crunchy gingerbread biscuits. These healthy gingerbread cookies make a yummy festive treat that also happen to be vegan, gluten-free AND nut-free! *This post is sponsored by FREEE* Why I love making these healthy gingerbread cookies: This is my favourite gingerbread cookie/biscuit recipe, but instead of icing it like you typically would do with gingerbread biscuits, I’ve created a cookie sandwich with a smooth and velvety ganache in the middle. So yummy and moreish! Biscuits have always (and I imagine they always will be) my favourite treat! I would always pick a good biscuit over a slice of cake or a brownie. I just love that crunch you get with a freshly baked biscuit. [...]

Vegan Sesame Chocolate Bark

Vegan Sesame Chocolate Bark

A simple treat that's really easy to make and only calls for 3 ingredients - this vegan sesame chocolate bark is perfect for when you're craving something chocolatey with a bit of crunch. This is another example of how perfectly well chocolate and tahini/sesames go together. If you think peanut butter and chocolate make the perfect pairing, you need to try this combination too! I always say tahini is the Middle Eastern version of peanut butter. It's used a lot in both sweet and savoury dishes. As well as tahini, I remember eating sesame brittle a fair bit growing up in the Middle East, which is usually made with sesame seeds + honey. I haven't had it in years, but [...]

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cornflake Bites

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cornflake Bites

These chocolate peanut butter cornflake bites are super easy to put together, require no baking and only call for 5 ingredients! They also combine some of my food loves - chocolate, peanut butter and something crunchy. Literally the best combo ever! Simple, few ingredient treats have always been, and will always be, my favourite type of recipes to make, but also to share because they seem to be the kind of recipes you all love too! I can understand why they would be popular. In a world that's becoming increasingly busy and an ever growing to-do-list, the last thing most of us want is to spend hours in the kitchen whipping up a treat. If you're anything like me, instead [...]

Healthy Banana Bread

Healthy Banana Bread

Who could say no to a lush slice of healthy banana bread? Not me! Banana bread is delicious as is, but add chocolate into the mix and you'll end up with something truly irresistible ? Few smells are as comforting as banana bread baking in the oven - the warm sweetness of ripe bananas, the faint nuttiness of toasted oats, that caramel edge where the crust meets the pan. It’s a nostalgic treat for many of us, yet it’s also one of the easiest baked goods to make healthier without sacrificing any of that cosy, homey goodness. This healthy banana bread recipe isn’t about deprivation - it’s about balance. It’s about making choices that nourish your body and satisfy your [...]

A decadent cake, but made with healthier ingredients. This vegan chocolate tahini bundt cake is lovely and moist - the perfect winter treat!

Vegan Chocolate Swirl Pumpkin Fudge

Vegan Chocolate Swirl Pumpkin Fudge

This vegan chocolate swirl pumpkin fudge is easy, tasty and made using better-for-you ingredients! You also don't need any fancy equipment to make them - just a saucepan and spatula. I had some leftover pumpkin puree form testing another recipe that needed using up. There were so many recipe ideas going through my mind when it occurred to me that I hadn't made a fudge recipe in the longest time. Why not make a pumpkin fudge recipe? I wanted to make a super simple, no-fuss, few ingredient recipe that tasted good, but was also somewhat good for you. Made using pumpkin puree, nut butter, spices and a little bit of coconut oil to set and maple syrup to sweeten. To [...]

Vegan Mini Pumpkin Spice Latte Tarts

Vegan Mini Pumpkin Spice Latte Tarts

Yummy bite size tarts filled with a warming spiced pumpkin filling - these vegan mini pumpkin spice latte tarts are the perfect lighter autumn treat. It seems I'm on a pumpkin roll this year. I've gone from never using pumpkin in my recipes to sharing 2 recipes in one week! I'm starting to feel I've missed out on years of pumpkin joy. It really is such a versatile ingredient that can be used to make so many delicious healthier treats. Pumpkin puree is so much easier to get hold of now in the UK compared to a few years ago when I first wanted to explore using it in baking. The only place I could find it was online and [...]

4 Ingredient Almond Fudge

4 Ingredient Almond Fudge

Fudge, but not as you know it - these 4 ingredient almond fudge are made with healthier ingredients and there's no cooking required! For years, dates have been my No. 1 go-to ingredient to use in my desserts. Even though they are high in sugar (like most fruit are), I would prefer to eat a date than a spoon of sugar. It's like the argument that fruit juice is as bad as drinking fizzy drinks just because fruit juice is high in sugar. It may be high in sugar, yes, but it's also high in vitamins and antioxidants, which fizzy drinks are not. So if you're going to drink one or the other, of course fruit juice is better for [...]

Vegan Tiramisu Overnight Oats

Vegan Tiramisu Overnight Oats

Delicious, healthy and balanced breakfast for coffee lovers. This vegan tiramisu overnight oats recipe is a great prepare-ahead-of-time breakfast to ensure you have the best start to your day. Overnight oats is such a life saver on busy mornings. I like waking up knowing I don't have to figure out what I'm having to eat. I also like knowing I don't have to lift a finger to prepare it! Especially if I'm rushing to get ready and step out of the door. I'm the type of person that goes to bed already dreaming about breakfast. That can't be just me, can it? I wake up excited to eat breakfast, especially when I know it's already prepped. The beauty of making [...]
