Breakfast Fibre Flake Bars

Breakfast Fibre Flake Bars

Breakfast Fibre Flake Bars * This post is sponsored by FREEE* These breakfast fibre flake bars are perfect to enjoy on busy mornings either before you leave the house, or on-the-go. Are you looking for a fun way to liven up your breakfasts? I wanted a change from my usual smoothies and porridge bowls and felt I was stuck in a breakfast rut. Don't get me wrong, I love my porridge and smoothies, but every now and then I do like to change things up a little. A bit of a crunch is what I've been craving recently. Something crispy and satisfying to bite into! Also, I knew January was going to be a busy month after taking so much time out to [...]

Bramley Apple Sweet Potato Sausage Hash

Bramley Apple Sweet Potato Sausage Hash

Bramley Apple Sweet Potato Sausage Hash * This post is sponsored by Great British Apples* This is not your average potato hash recipe, this is a sweet potato hash with the addition of delicious tart apple chunks and veggie sausages as a good source of protein. It’s really quick and easy to put together and you can enjoy it for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The leftovers would also make a really nice side dish to other meals too. If you’re not vegan/plant-based you can go ahead and top it with a couple of fried or poached eggs, although the sausages add more than enough protein to make it a filling and substantial meal as it is. You don’t have to [...]

Vegan Gluten-free Blueberry Crumble

Vegan Gluten-free Blueberry Crumble

Vegan Gluten-free Blueberry Crumble A quick and easy, vegan and gluten blueberry crumble that's guaranteed to warm you up on a cold winter evening! I'm very big on no-bake, chilled desserts. I find them a lot easier to make with less steps and much harder to get wrong. However, when winter kicks in I, like many others, start to crave comforting and warming food, and that applies to desserts too! I can't think of a dessert more warming and comforting than a crumble ? served warm with a scoop of dairy-free ice cream...can't imagine anything more divine whilst cosied up on the sofa in front of a warm fire - pure joy! I wanted to create a crumble that's really quick [...]

Vegan & Gluten-free Scones

Vegan & Gluten-free Scones

Vegan & Gluten-free Scones Super easy, fail proof vegan and gluten-free scones that are easy to make and adapt. I was craving a comforting rainy day treat, and the first thing that came to mind was scones. Topped with jam and vegan creme fraiche- heaven! Went down a treat with my cup of cardamom tea ? I used a mixture of gluten-free flour and oat flour, which I made myself by blending plain rolled oats into a fine flour in the food processor. If you're allergic or intolerant to gluten do make sure you use gluten-free oats. Most oats are handled in the same facilities as other gluten containing products, so chances are there will be some gluten contamination. These scones [...]

Vegan Peanut Butter Mug Cake

Vegan Peanut Butter Mug Cake

Vegan Peanut Butter Mug Cake A speedy treat for those times when you just want to have a slice of cake! This vegan peanut butter mug cake is really quick, easy and so yummy! This recipe is for anyone who likes cake, peanut butter and lacks patience when it comes to waiting for treats to be prepared. It's all well and good making a cake batter, waiting for it to bake and then waiting for it to cool down before you can finally tuck in. But what if you want a cake RIGHT NOW? Well you wouldn't want to wait, would you? I made this protein chocolate mug cake last year and it was a huge hit! So I thought [...]

Vegan Baklava Overnight Oats

Vegan Baklava Overnight Oats

Vegan Baklava Overnight Oats A quick and easy breakfast that you can prepare in advance to enjoy on a busy morning or on the go. Baklava is one of the many Middle Eastern desserts I really miss from my childhood. Growing up in Iraq, we rarely had desserts and treats because they were considered a luxury, so we would only have them when we were guests at someone's house or during special occasions. Because they were such a rare treat, when we did have them, we savoured every bite because we didn't know when we would be getting another treat. Baklava was one of those treats that we used to enjoy on special occasions. Rich & flakey filo pastry layered with chopped [...]

Breakfast Berry Crumble

Breakfast Berry Crumble

Breakfast Berry Crumble Dessert for breakfast? Yes please! This breakfast berry crumble is bursting with blueberry and raspberry goodness and topped with the most scrumptious crumble topping! A few weeks ago I posted a recipe for this raspberry almond baked oats and it was received so well. I guess you all love berries and oats just as much as I do :D I thought I would make another breakfast recipe with berries. Especially seeing that the weather isn't getting any warmer in the UK and we still need all the comfort we can get first thing in the morning before kickstarting our day. Although the word 'breakfast' is in the title, there is no reason why you can't enjoy this breakfast berry crumble any time [...]

Mexican Bean and Sweet Potato Hash

Mexican Bean and Sweet Potato Hash

Mexican Bean and Sweet Potato Hash On the menu for this weekend is this Mexican bean and sweet potato hash. A healthy, filling and packed with flavour breakfast/brunch for the whole family to enjoy! I usually go for sweet breakfasts, but on the weekend I crave something savoury. The hubby is more of a savoury person in general and prefers savoury breakfasts, s0 on weekend mornings he takes over the kitchen. It makes a really nice change having something savoury and for me it signals the start of the weekend. I now associate weekends with a savoury brunch. It's also nice because it means I can sit back and let the hubby take over. We take our time and chit chat while he prepares [...]

Vegan Spinach Cheese Rolls

Vegan Spinach Cheese Rolls

Vegan Spinach Cheese Rolls Delicious flaky pastry rolls filled with dairy-free 'cheese' and spinach. A great treat to have on the weekend, at parties or a speedy evening treat! Not too long ago cutting out dairy or being vegan meant you had to go on living your life without things like milk, yoghurt and cheese! Plus the endless list of the other food products that had hidden milk in the ingredient list. Even when more plant-based options became available, they were a lot harder to get hold of and not very accessible to the masses. Now, you can find dairy-free alternatives in almost all supermarkets, and definitely in the bigger stores. I must say that although I love cheese, I was never one of those [...]

Raspberry Almond Baked Oats

Raspberry Almond Baked Oats

Raspberry Almond Baked Oats Happy New Year! Hope you enjoyed the holidays. I definitely needed to take a couple of days out to recover. 2018 was intense for me, especially the last two months. But overall it's been good to me and for that I'm thankful. Like many others around this time of year, I let myself go and ate whatever I wanted! Lots of chocolate, gluten and even some dairy. It's really hard staying dairy and gluten-free around the holidays with all the festive celebrations and family get togethers. I used to be more strict with what I ate at Christmas and New Year's gatherings. It was stressful and uncomfortable being the only odd one out refusing to eat [...]
