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

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

This banana bread mug cake is the perfect single serve slice of cake for people like me who when they crave a cake, they want it right now!

Mocha Overnight Oats & Mocha Granola

A delicious mocha overnight oats recipe topped with homemade crunchy mocha granola – both made using Rheal’s new Mushroom Coffee. Overnight oats has been my go-to breakfast for years. It’s just so convenient to prepare your breakfast the night before and have it waiting for you the next morning. It’s also a healthy option for breakfast – packed with fibre in the oats and by adding things like nut butters and nuts you can get some healthy fats and protein in there too! I always like to have a jar of homemade granola in my kitchen to enjoy as a quick breakfast or snack when I’m feeling peckish and craving something sweet and crunchy. It’s also nice to have something [...]

Vegan Protein Brownie Batter

Vegan Protein Brownie Batter * This post is sponsored by The Protein Works*  A delicious healthier treat that can be enjoyed as a snack or a dessert - this vegan protein brownie batter is so easy to make and super satisfying! Easy, no-bake, mix in the same bowl kind of desserts are my favourite. They take less time to prep and leave you with fewer dishes to wash up later on. Whenever I can I do like to add protein powder into my treats to make them healthier and more filling. Using a naturally sweetened and flavoured protein powder also means I don't have to use as much sweetener/sugar to make it taste good! I'm using The Protein Works Vegan [...]

Vegan Gluten-free Chocolate Mug Cake

Being in lockdown is the best time to put on your apron and get your bake on! If you’re bored and need some positive distraction, a quick baking session can only do you some good. Also, being in quarantine means it’s not as easy to nip out and get a slice of cake when you’re really craving something sweet. Now more than ever we’re looking for small comforts to get us through these unusual and uncertain times. Cake and a cup of tea may not solve any of our problems, but it can give us a short sense of relief and distraction. The best we can do right now is try to stay as positive as possible. There is some [...]
