Easter Egg Brownies (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Easter Egg Brownies (Vegan & Gluten-free)

It's often difficult to make bakes that are both vegan and gluten-free. Vegan bakes usually work best with plain wheat flour and gluten-free bakes need eggs to make the recipe work. So it can be a struggle to tick both boxes and still end up with something yummy with the right texture and consistency. Not only have I managed to make these brownies both vegan AND gluten-free, I've also made them using only 6 main ingredients! They're delicious, especially when topped with a vegan white chocolate drizzle. If you're looking for an easy Easter bake that's both vegan and gluten-free (it's also nut-free!), then you need to try these brownies! I added some food colouring to the white chocolate to [...]

Vegan Cookie Dough Brownies

Vegan Cookie Dough Brownies

Delicious ooey gooey brownies topped with an equally yummy cookie dough layer! These vegan cookie dough brownies are a must try! This recipe is slightly more difficult compared to my usual 4 or 5 ingredient recipes, but the result is so worth the extra effort! It's still really easy, you just need to create 2 separate batters, one for the brownie layer and another for the cookie dough! They're made using healthier ingredients like oats, almonds, flaxseed and almond butter! I did use brown sugar to sweeten, but a little sugar here and there is ok as long as you don't over do it. Vegan Cookie Dough Brownies Makes - 8 Ingredients For the brownie layer50g (1/4 cup) ground almonds55g [...]

Blueberry Lemon Breakfast Bars

Blueberry Lemon Breakfast Bars

These breakfast bars are perfect to have in the fridge for super busy weeks. You know, for those days when you have no time in the morning for a sit down breakfast or even enough time to prepare anything to take with you. Packed with antioxidants from the blueberries as well as fibre and slow releasing energy from the oats. Lemon and blueberries is just the most refreshing, zingy combination. I absolutely love fruity treats and these blueberry lemon breakfast bars just hit the spot. They're sweet enough to curb that sugar craving a lot of us have first thing in the morning, but not overly sweet. These bars would also make a really nice snack in between meals or [...]

Peanut Butter Filled Cookies

Peanut Butter Filled Cookies

You can probably tell I'm really into both cookies (aka biscuits in the UK) and chocolate! In fact if I had to pick only one dessert/treat that I can eat for the rest of my life, it would be some sort of biscuit dipped or covered in chocolate! I posted these biscuits on my blog a couple of years ago, but I decided to make them again, film them and take new shots since my photography skills have improved somewhat compared to when I first posted the recipe. These peanut butter filled cookies are both vegan and gluten-free. They're also really easy to make! A crunchy biscuit, topped with a simple 2 ingredient peanut butter centre, all dipped in dark [...]

5-Ingredient No-bake Peanut Butter Brownies

If you're looking for a super easy and yummy dessert, look no further! These 5-ingredient no-bake peanut butter brownies are so moreish yet couldn't be simpler to make! 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! Many of you following me on Instagram seem to prefer my easy, few ingredient recipes too, that's another reason why I find myself gravitating back to this sort of recipe. These brownies are based on [...]
