Hot Cross Millionaire’s Shortbread

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

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 Chocolate Brownies

Vegan Chocolate Brownies

(AD) Super decadent brownies that are completely plant-based! If you’re looking for a yummy, sweet treat, you NEED these vegan chocolate brownies in your life! To me, brownies have to be fudgy, dense and gooey. Cakey brownies just don’t cut it for me. They have to be rich and chocolatey like these vegan chocolate brownies. You can get creative and make it your own by adding things like chopped nuts, dried fruit, chocolate chips or even drizzle nut butter on top of the batter before baking to create a swirl effect! Nestlé has recently launched a new vegan condensed milk alternative to their iconic Carnation range and I’m collaborating with them to show how it’s such a fun and versatile [...]

Vegan Salted Caramel Chocolate Protein Bars

Vegan Salted Caramel Chocolate Protein Bars

* This post is sponsored by The Protein Works* A yummy post-workout snack that tastes like a dessert! These vegan salted caramel chocolate protein bars are no-bake and really easy to put together! Sometimes I love to snack on protein bars instead of a dessert to try to bump up my protein intake in between meals. Especially on days where I haven't been able to prepare/eat well rounded meals and feel my protein intake has been on the low side. I used to regularly stock up vegan protein bars to have in my cupboard for a rainy day or to take with me on the go, but they can be really expensive, especially considering how easy they are to make [...]

Vegan Chocolate Oat Cups

Vegan Chocolate Oat Cups

These vegan chocolate oat cups are the perfect quarantine indulgent sweet treat made with healthier ingredients like oats and tahini! An oaty layer, with a creamy and fudgy chocolatey centre and an oaty topping. I based this recipe on my chocolate tahini oat bars, which is one of the popular recipes on my blog. I think that's down to the fact that they're so easy to make, no-bake and include healthier ingredients that are easy to get hold of. I've changed around the quantities a little, but the main difference is that they're shaped into cups rather than bars. I halved the recipe because I'm in isolation with my partner and didn't want to make the full recipe and risk [...]
