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 [...]

Vegan Berry Pancakes

Vegan Berry Pancakes

(AD) Lovely fluffy pancakes topped with warm blueberries – my idea of breakfast heaven! Oh…and they’re completely vegan! Now that we’re in lockdown again and most of us are finding ourselves with way too much free time on our hands and not much else to do, cooking and baking has become a welcome pastime for many of us.

They’re so easy to make and the result is an amazingly delicious breakfast that anyone and everyone can enjoy. The other nice thing about pancakes is that you can customise them to your taste.

Festive Chocolate Orange Scones Vegan & Gluten-free

Festive Chocolate Orange Scones Vegan & Gluten-free

*This post is sponsored by FREEE* Is there anything more comforting on a cold, rainy day than a lovely warm homemade scone and a cup of tea? How about a chocolate orange scone? It’s definitely my go to treat for this time of year! These chocolate orange scones are super comforting and they couldn’t be easier to make. I used a mixture of FREEE Gluten Free Self Raising White Flour and oat flour, which I made myself by blending gluten-free oats – try FREEE’s Gluten Free Porridge Oats - into a fine flour in the food processor. The scones are also vegan, but they don’t have to be if you’re not avoiding milk or butter. They can also easily be [...]

California Walnut Za’atar Flat Breads

California Walnut Za’atar Flat Breads

*This post is sponsored by California Walnuts* This right here is one of my childhood favourites! If you’ve never tried (or even heard of) za’atar you’re missing out big time! It’s basically a blend of herbs (mainly thyme and oregano) with sesame seeds. It’s usually mixed with olive oil and lemon juice then spread on bread/dough to create the most drool worthy flavour combination! It’s definitely a comfort meal for me - a Middle Eastern pizza if you like. I’m adding California Walnut ‘mince’ to my version to add some healthy fats and protein. Did you know that walnuts are the only tree nut to contain a rich source of the plant-based omega-3, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) 2.7g/ 30g*? Each 30g [...]

Peanut Butter Protein Breakfast Pudding

Peanut Butter Protein Breakfast Pudding

*This post is sponsored by Bulk Powders* Silky, smooth and satisfying breakfast with added protein. This Peanut Butter protein breakfast pudding tastes more like a dessert, but it's packed with fibre, healthy fats and protein. I love adding protein to my breakfast as it prevents sugar slumps. I used to get the worst sugar crashes. That jittery feeling a couple of hours after breakfast that leaves me feeling irritable, on edge and unable to concentrate. I still get those crashes if I don't eat a well balanced breakfast with protein and fat. Simple carb rich breakfasts low in fat and protein just don't suit me well at all! And so far what I've seen in the clinics I've observed as well [...]

Buckwheat ‘Rice’ Pudding

Buckwheat ‘Rice’ Pudding

This buckwheat 'rice' pudding is a healthier take on the original rice pudding. You can enjoy it as a hearty breakfast, lighter dessert or even as a snack. Now that the weather is getting colder, we're all craving warming and comforting foods. Warming bowls like this buckwheat pudding is just what I need to get me out of bed on a cold, dark morning. Spiced with cinnamon, cardamom and ginger making it perfect for autumn and winter months. I used light coconut milk and oat milk to make it lighter since I like eating it for breakfast. You can use full fat coconut milk if you want a creamier, richer texture. You can top it with whatever you fancy, but [...]

Anti-inflammatory Turmeric Hummus

Anti-inflammatory Turmeric Hummus

A slightly different take on the traditional Middle Eastern dip. This anti-inflammatory turmeric hummus is an easy way to get some extra goodness into your body, especially when served with a side of fresh vegetables! Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, is shown to have potential anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant. I use turmeric in many of my recipes and it's always one of the main ingredients in my curries. I also add it to soups, smoothies and I even use it to make a warming golden latte. Supporting our immune system is more important than ever now that we’re all trying to get back to some sort of normality. Kids are back in school and more [...]

Vegan Gluten-free Raspberry Oat Bars

Vegan Gluten-free Raspberry Oat Bars

Delicious oaty and fruity treats that are super easy to make. These vegan gluten-free raspberry oat bars are the perfect treat for summer! These bars make a great snack or a healthier dessert, but they can also be enjoyed for breakfast if you're in a hurry and don't have time to put something together. I find treats like this really handy to have in the fridge for those times when I have the urge to reach out for the chocolate biscuits! The raspberries along with the lemon give these bars a zingy, tart flavour that makes them feel so refreshing and summery. You can substitute some of the sugar for stevia if you want to reduce the sugar content, but [...]
