Vegan Raspberry Coconut Bars

*This post is sponsored by KoRo* A delicious creamy chocolate bar with a hint of berry goodness - these raspberry coconut bars are so easy to make and so tasty! These bars are perfect anytime of the year, but they're a particularly fitting treat for your loved one(s) this Valentine's Day! Even though you can serve any kind of dessert on the day that's also known internationally as the day of love, I do think that something chocolatey with a hint of pink/red just makes it so much more special. You're only making one Valnetine's Day dessert, so why not make event specific to show your special someone how much they mean to you! I do enjoy making heart shaped [...]

Vegan No-bake Flapjacks

*This post is sponsored by KoRo* Delicious oaty squares that can be enjoyed as a snack, healthier dessert or even a handy on-the-go breakfast. These vegan no-bake flapjacks are so easy to make and super convenient to have in the fridge for when you need a quick pick-me-up. With it being January and Veganuary, vegan food and recipes are everywhere! Every year more and more plant-based products are being released into the market, which is amazing! Anything that encourages us to eat more plants has to be a good thing. However, just because something is vegan doesn't mean it's inherently healthy. The problem with a lot of shop bought snacks, including vegan snacks, is that they tend to be filled [...]

Peanut Butter Chocolate Oat Cups

Delicious oaty cups with a layer of peanut butter all topped with smooth chocolate - these Peanut Butter Chocolate Oat Cups are super delicious and packed with goodness. Even though we've had many hot days here in the UK, that shouldn't stop us from the joy of making our own treats. The way around it is to make desserts that don't require you turning on the oven. The last thing you want on a hot stuffy day is to add to the unbearable heat by turning on the oven unnecessarily. Treats like these peanut butter chocolate oat cups are perfect for such warm and clammy days. They're no-bake and they're served cold straight from the fridge. The no baking part [...]

Gluten-Free Vegan Gingerbread Millionaires Shortbread

*This post is sponsored by FREEE* Delicious and decadent, these gingerbread millionaire shortbread are perfect for the festive season and they happen to be both gluten-free AND vegan! I can’t believe there’s only a few more sleeps left before Christmas Day! Is it just me or has this year flown by? If you’re looking for a last-minute festive treat that’s both gluten-free and vegan (and delicious!), then you have to try these festive gingerbread millionaires shortbread. I don’t know anyone that doesn’t love millionaires shortbread, so I decided to put a fun spin on a classic dessert and make it festive by adding gingerbread spices (ginger, cinnamon and allspice) in the caramel centre. I also used date molasses to add [...]

Coconut Caramel Bars

A delicious sweet treat that's super easy to make, these coconut caramel bars are the perfect post meal treat! Have you seen the new Celebrations Christmas advert? You know, the one where the bounty bar is lonely and no one loves him. It's become a running joke that the humble Bounty bar is the one chocolate left untouched every Christmas when the Celebration box comes out. What?? Is it just me that ALWAYS picks a bounty before any of the other Celebrations chocs? I'd be happy with a box full of bounty bars and nothing else. Actually, my partner is the same as me. Bounty is his favourite, so neither of us can understand why they're so unloved! I love [...]

Chocolate Tahini Cardamom Squares

Delicious, decadent and fudgy - these chocolate tahini cardamom bars are no-bake, made with healthier ingredients and are packed with aromatic flavours! If you've followed my blog and socials for a while, you'll know all about my love for tahini. I have countless recipes (mainly desserts) where tahini is the star of the show. You'll also know that I'm a self confessed chocoholic, so of course I'm always trying to marry those two ingredients together to make as many yummy treats as possible! I read this quote by Ottolenghi the other day where he said "Tahini is something that runs in the veins of the people in the Middle East” and “It's like olive oil to southern Europe.”. That definitely [...]

Hazelnut Cream Bars

A biscuit base, smooth hazelnut centre all topped with dark chocolate - these hazelnut cream bars are so delicious and dreamy! I made these copycat Kinder Bueno Bars a few weeks ago and they were a massive hit! What I love most about them is that the hazelnut cream centre is literally made up of 2 ingredients only - white chocolate and hazelnut butter! I just love recipes with few ingredients. I wanted to use that 2 ingredient hazelnut cream and incorporate it into another one of my popular recipes - these Biscoff Squares. These hazelnut cream bars are made using healthier ingredients like oats, ground almonds and hazelnut butter. I always try to use less sugar/sweetener in my treats [...]

Vegan Chocolate Caramel Crunch Bars

Delicious crunchy treats that are made using healthier ingredients! These vegan chocolate caramel crunch bars are the perfect weekend treat! Made with dates, tahini, protein crispies and dark chocolate, these bars make a tasty healthier substitute to things like brownies and cake when you're craving a bit of chocolate. I used protein soy crispies instead of rice crispises to bump up the protein content and add a delicious crunch! I topped the bars with a layer of smooth dark chocolate to make them a little more indulgent, but you can leave the chocolate out if you want to make them lighter or reduce the calorie count. The 'caramel' is made up of a simple blend of dates and tahini with [...]

Hot Cross Millionaire’s Shortbread

We all need a treat this Easter after the last 12 months we've all had (stills can't believe it's been a whole year since the first lockdown!). And now that we can meet people outdoors again, it would be lovely to start sharing food with others. This Hot Cross Millionaire's Shortbread traybake is the perfect crowd pleaser that everyone can enjoy this Bank Holiday. Made up of a crumbly shortbread base, a healthier date caramel centre and a chocolate topping. What's not to love? I added the warming flavours of a hot cross bun, allspice and cinnamon, to make it taste more like a hot cross bun. You can also add some sultanas to the caramel centre to add more [...]

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 [...]
