Vegan Chocolate Hot Cross Bun Ice Cream Sandwiches

Vegan Chocolate Hot Cross Bun Ice Cream Sandwiches  This truly is the ultimate Easter weekend treat. Vegan chocolate hot cross buns served with vegan ice cream instead of plain butter, because if you're going to do it, you might as well go all out! They're really easy to make (watch video at the top of the page) and so much tastier than shop bought hot cross buns with less sugar and completely plant-based. To make them even more decadent I had to add in some Love Cocoa 70% Ecuador dairy-free organic chocolate. Let's be honest, every treat tastes better with chocolate, well almost every treat. When I think a dessert will taste better with chocolate, I'm the first to add it in! It's [...]

Raw Salted Caramel Brownies

Raw Salted Caramel Brownies A treat to satisfy your chocolate cravings without any processed sugar, processed oils or any other nasty added ingredients.  I'm a huge fan of energy/bliss balls - basically any snack made out of dates and nuts. They make a great snack because they're high in fibre, good fats and they're sweet without the need to add any kind of processed refined sugars. Nothing beats whole dates as a form of sweetener, not even the sugar-free varieties, which we are yet to find out their long-term effects as they're relatively new to our diets.  Instead of blending dates and nuts and shaping them into balls, I added in some cocoa powder into the mix and pressed the mixture into [...]

Vegan Easter Creme Eggs

Vegan Easter Creme Eggs What is Easter without a creme egg or two? Or at least some sort of egg shaped chocolate. During my Uni years I used to promise myself I would eat at least one giant Easter egg, but seem to fail. I've always considered Easter eggs overly prised and a bit awkward to eat. I usually end up eating way more than I would usually do just because I don't realise how much I've eaten until it's too late. It's not like you can keep count of how many squares you've eaten and because it's considered a special treat, I end up saying to myself "go on, just have a little more" and before you know it I've eaten half the [...]

Beet-a-ganoush Dip Recipe

Beet-a-ganoush Dip Recipe If you've been reading my blog for a while you'll know of my never ending love for Hummus. What you may not know is I'm also a huge baba ganoush fan. What can I say, I was brought up in the Middle East and both dips were a big part of my diet and so have a very special place in my heart! Luckily as well as being delicious they also happen to be super healthy, high in fibre, nutrients and good fats! I don't eat baba ganoush as much as I would like to since it's slightly more time consuming when compared to hummus (which I literally eat on the daily!), and when I do make it, it's [...]

PB&J Pop Tarts – Vegan & Gluten-free

PB&J Pop Tarts - Vegan & Gluten-free I've probably only tried Pop Tarts once or twice many many years ago. I don't even remember the flavour I tried. I do however remember always thinking they're so cute! Because they're imported from the U.S. they were always too expensive for us and considered a luxury item that we just didn't need. I remember them being around the £5 mark but I think they're a lot cheaper now and more readily available here in the UK, but you would never catch me eating one for breakfast nowadays! If you've seen the list of ingredients on one of the packets, you'll know why!  One thing that I do love about Pop Tarts is all [...]

Vegan Tofu ‘Chicken’ Nuggets

Vegan Tofu 'Chicken' Nuggets I was only exposed to chicken nuggets when I moved to the UK and as you can imagine, I absolutely fell in love with them! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and full of flavour. You can easily understand why every kid in the country is obsessed with them!  As delicious as they are, chicken nuggets aren't exactly known for their nutrition content. Unless homemade, they're heavily processed with lots of other unwanted added ingredients. Not only is my version lower in fat, it's also high in iron, calcium, magnesium, selenium, zinc and omega-3, all of which can be lacking in a not so well planned plant-based diet. Tofu is an amazing source of many micro nutrients and is [...]

Chocolate Crumpets Vegan & Gluten-free with Salted Caramel Spread

Chocolate Crumpets Vegan & Gluten-free with Salted Caramel Spread Crumpets are such a quintessential British tea time treat. Griddle cakes that look like pancakes and cooked like pancakes only they're thicker, spongier/chewier and full of holes!  You'll find this treat in many British households, usually shop bought as the idea of making homemade crumpets seems so daunting and definitely a lot of work. That's what I thought anyway until I tried them myself. You do have to wait for the dough to rise, like with any homemade yeasted bread, but once that's done there isn't much to it!  I know you can now buy gluten-free crumpets, but they're not vegan. I wanted to create a version that both vegans and anyone [...]

Vegan Gluten-free French Fancies

Vegan Gluten-free French Fancies First of all I would like to wish my mum and all the amazing mothers out there a ?HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY? If you live in the UK you will be very familiar with french fancies. They're these cute mini sponge cakes, similar to petit four, with a jam centre and covered in different coloured icing - pink (strawberry), yellow (lemon) and brown (chocolate). I used to find the sponge in french fancies a little dry, which wasn't too bad since the jam and icing added a bit of moisture and complemented the whole thing, but I still prefer my cakes a little more moist, so I wanted to make mine a little denser and not as spongy. [...]

Rainbow Cauliflower Pizza (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Rainbow Cauliflower Pizza (Vegan & Gluten-free) After posting these Unicorn Doughnuts a few days ago, I was inspired to create another colourful recipe to celebrate the arrival of spring. I feel like my recipes have been very monotone recently with a lot of browns and beiges and I thought it was about time I broke the mould and stirred things up a little. When I think of pizza, the words 'healthy' and 'colourful' don't usually pop into my mind. They're not usually healthy and more often than not look very uncolourful as there's a layer of cheese covering most of the top hiding anything that lies underneath including bright veggies (if there are any at all!). I've attempted making cauliflower pizza crusts a couple [...]
