I've actually been experimenting with a couple of other cookie dough ideas at the same time as [...]

Vegan Biscoff Rocky Road

Vegan Biscoff Rocky Road

Vegan Biscoff Rocky Road A scrumptious chocolaty treat with lots of yummy flavours and interesting textures! Rocky road is such an easy dessert to make. No baking required and it's pretty foolproof so everyone and anyone can make it! It's enjoyed by adults and kids alike and is easily adjustable to suit different tastes, likes and dietary preferences. My father-in-law invited us to a last minute BBQ a few days ago and I wanted to make a speedy dessert to take with me so I don't show up empty handed. I had to make sure it was nut-free because my sister-in-law has a nut allergy. My husband's siblings are all a lot younger than him (the youngest being 13), so I had to also [...]

California Walnut Coffee Cake Bars

California Walnut Coffee Cake Bars

California Walnut Coffee Cake Bars Looking for the perfect cake to enjoy with your afternoon cup of tea? This is it right here! These California walnut coffee cake bars are my current favourite pick me up with a lovely warm drink. I usually go for chocolatey desserts, but I always get excited when I see a coffee treat on offer. Chocolate is everywhere, but a decent coffee dessert is much harder to come by, so when you finally discover one it feels so much more special. I think coffee as a flavour is not taken advantage of enough in the baking world. Even I rarely make coffee flavoured treats. Well that's about to change from this point onwards. A delicious vegan [...]

Cookie Dough Brownie Bars

Cookie Dough Brownie Bars

Cookie Dough Brownie Bars A few years ago and before embarking on my health journey, I never thought healthier desserts existed. How can you have a dessert that's also somewhat good for you? It just couldn't be done, unless it was mainly fruit. Now I know the word 'health' and 'healthy' have different definitions to different people depending on their stand point. Just to give an example, I've come across people who don't even consider fruit healthy and avoid them at all cost because they're 'too high in sugar'. That notion still baffles me. When I say 'healthier' treats I mean treats that are lower in sugar and saturated fat but at the same higher in things like fibre. Treats that contain more 'whole' ingredients [...]

Peanut Butter Protein Bars

Peanut Butter Protein Bars

Peanut Butter Protein Bars I love having protein bars at home to snack on, but the shop bought ones tend to be really expensive (especially the plant-based ones) and not very easy to find! I haven't actually made any in a while and recently I've felt like I really need a good protein snack at home now that I'm finding less and less time to meal prep. Since starting college again I feel like my life is so out of control! Some of you may know that I started a three year nutrition course back in 2014, mid way through I found that my business was suffering because I was spending a lot of time studying an preparing for exams and writing [...]

Chocolate Covered Almond Coconut Flapjacks

Chocolate Covered Almond Coconut Flapjacks

Chocolate Covered Almond Coconut Flapjacks This is my first ever flapjack recipe! EVER!! Can you believe it? How have I been blogging for this long without making flapjacks before? I honestly don't know the answer to that question because I LOVE FLAPJACKS! I guess flapjacks can come across as a slightly less interesting treat. Are they a dessert? Are they a snack? They feel like they're somewhere in between. Depending on how you make them they can look slightly bland and uninspiring, especially in the eyes of a food blogger who wants to create something visually stunning that the camera will love. So I finally got my act together and made my first batch of flapjacks. I couldn't make any plain old flapjacks though. I [...]

Vegan Raspberry Bounty Bars

Vegan Raspberry Bounty Bars

Vegan Raspberry Bounty Bars Since so many of you loved my Blueberry Bounty Bars I thought I would create another variation and shoot a video this time to show you just how easy they are to make at home! If you've never heard of bounty bars, they're basically a sweet coconut bar covered with a lush chocolate shell. I believe there is something similar in the US but under the name of 'Almond Joy'? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I have seen many American bloggers making these Almond Joy bars and they seem very similar to Bounty bars minus the almond! Bounty bars don't come in any other flavour apart from plain old coconut. Again please correct me if I'm [...]
