Chocolate Salted Caramel Cups

Delicious, decadent and completely plant-based! These chocolate salted caramel cups are so easy to make with only a handful of ingredients! * This post is sponsored by Nature’s Charm* No-bake recipes are my favourite kind of recipes to make, but especially so on a hot day like today.

Easter Egg Brownies (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Easter Egg Brownies (Vegan & Gluten-free)

It's often difficult to make bakes that are both vegan and gluten-free. Vegan bakes usually work best with plain wheat flour and gluten-free bakes need eggs to make the recipe work. So it can be a struggle to tick both boxes and still end up with something yummy with the right texture and consistency. Not only have I managed to make these brownies both vegan AND gluten-free, I've also made them using only 6 main ingredients! They're delicious, especially when topped with a vegan white chocolate drizzle. If you're looking for an easy Easter bake that's both vegan and gluten-free (it's also nut-free!), then you need to try these brownies! I added some food colouring to the white chocolate to [...]

Vegan Cookie Dough Brownies

Vegan Cookie Dough Brownies

Delicious ooey gooey brownies topped with an equally yummy cookie dough layer! These vegan cookie dough brownies are a must try! This recipe is slightly more difficult compared to my usual 4 or 5 ingredient recipes, but the result is so worth the extra effort! It's still really easy, you just need to create 2 separate batters, one for the brownie layer and another for the cookie dough! They're made using healthier ingredients like oats, almonds, flaxseed and almond butter! I did use brown sugar to sweeten, but a little sugar here and there is ok as long as you don't over do it.

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 [...]
