Individual Vegan Raspberry Crumbles

Quick and easy crumble recipe with a delicious crunchy topping - these individual vegan raspberry crumbles make a really nice quick snack on a cold rainy day! The weather has been so up and down lately. It's been fairly cold and very rainy over the weekend, so I wanted to share a warming and comforting recipe that's really easy to make using fresh in season British berries. I used raspberries, but you can use any berries you like - frozen or fresh! You can half the recipe if you're only making it for yourself or double it if you want to make it for friends/family members. For the crumble 30g cornflakes - I used Nestle GoFree gluten-free cornflakes 30g ground [...]

4-Ingredient Almond Cookies

4-Ingredient Almond Cookies

Delicious cookies that are super easy to make and taste delish! These 4-ingredient almond cookies are a must try. Did you know you can make cookies using only 4 ingredients? AND they're much better for you compared to regular cookies. They're also vegan and gluten-free. I'm still trying to keep my recipes super simple with as little ingredients as possible since food shopping is still a bit of a pain with having to queue up and certain items still being out of stock. Also simpler recipes like this mean they're a lot faster to make and leave less washing up behind! Why buy unhealthy cookies filled with sugar, fats and God knows what else, when you can easily make a [...]

Za’atar goes well with many types of dishes – mainly used on bread with [...]

Vegan Tuna Salad

Vegan Tuna Salad

Now that the weather is warming up and we’re having sunnier days, it seems like the perfect time to share a light and healthy salad that’s still hearty, filling and delicious! We’re all adjusting to life in lockdown which has quickly become the new norm. A lot of us are preparing way more homecooked meals than we’re used to and are on the lookout for ideas and inspirations. One of the worst feelings is when you’re hungry and you can’t think of what to prepare to eat, especially when you’ve already made a meal 4-5 hours ago. As much as I love cooking and experimenting in the kitchen with new methods, techniques and flavours, sometimes all I want to do [...]

Vegan Chocolate Oat Cups

Vegan Chocolate Oat Cups

These vegan chocolate oat cups are the perfect quarantine indulgent sweet treat made with healthier ingredients like oats and tahini! An oaty layer, with a creamy and fudgy chocolatey centre and an oaty topping. I based this recipe on my chocolate tahini oat bars, which is one of the popular recipes on my blog. I think that's down to the fact that they're so easy to make, no-bake and include healthier ingredients that are easy to get hold of. I've changed around the quantities a little, but the main difference is that they're shaped into cups rather than bars. I halved the recipe because I'm in isolation with my partner and didn't want to make the full recipe and risk [...]
