Vegan & Gluten-free Cookie Dough Bites

Vegan & Gluten-free Cookie Dough Bites

Vegan & Gluten-free Cookie Dough Bites A delicious, easy and speedy treat that's healthier for you but still tastes delish! These vegan & gluten-free cookie dough bites are packed with healthy fats, fibre and yummy flavours. It's been a month since my last post! I can't believe I left it so long, although I have to say I did have a good excuse. Many of you already know that I've been working really hard the past few years on getting my nutrition qualification and the last few weeks I've been keeping my head down trying to get my end of year portfolio submitted. 3 case studies, an essay and a whole lot of paper work took it out of me.

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 [...]

Vanilla Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

Vanilla Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

Vanilla Chocolate Sandwich Cookies It's no secret that I love cookies (or biscuits as we refer to them here in the UK) they're my favourite sweet treats and the kind of recipes I enjoy creating the most. I've made so many cookie recipes over the years from tahini chocolate cookies, no-bake thumbprint cookies and Nutella filled cookies to more adventurous cookies like chocolate & strawberry S'mores, cinnamon roll cookies and doughnut cookies more recently. I also love recreating vegan and gluten-free versions of classics like Jaffa cakes, Wagon Wheels and Jammie Dodgers. So yeah, I'm a cookie monster and proud of it! Another big love of mine is chocolate. Add chocolate to any dessert and I'll eat it! I think what [...]

Chocolate Chip Doughnut Cookies – Vegan & Gluten-free

Chocolate Chip Doughnut Cookies – Vegan & Gluten-free

Chocolate Chip Doughnut Cookies A crunchy cookie shaped like a doughnut. Who could resist one of these chocolate chip doughnut cookies? I haven't posted a dessert recipe on my blog in a while, which is so unlike me! So I thought it was about time I posted a new healthified treat. Chocolate chip cookies are a classic, and although they're perfect just the way they are, I wanted to put a fun spin on them. I used a silicon doughnut mould to create choc chip cookies shaped like a doughnuts to make them stand out from the crowed, and also because why not? I don't know what it is with me and doughnut shaped treats that are not actually doughnuts! I just [...]

Here's yet another super quick and easy dessert that takes very little time to prepare and only calls for 3 ingredients!

California Walnut & Sweet Potato Brownies

California Walnut & Sweet Potato Brownies

California Walnut & Sweet Potato Brownies Delicious and rich California walnut & sweet potato brownies made using amazing ingredients like walnuts, oats and sweet potato. A healthified take on the classic and much loved brownies. I have yet to come across a person who doesn't love brownies. Even people who don't seem to be keen on chocolate still love to indulge in a rich dense brownie every now and then. I could be wrong, but something I do know is that for me, brownies are the ultimate sweet treat. Brownies can however feel really heavy and can cause digestive issues with IBS sufferers like myself. I try to avoid dairy and gluten on a day to day basis and also try [...]

Protein Cookie Dough Cups (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Protein Cookie Dough Cups (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Protein Cookie Dough Cups (Vegan & Gluten-free) My current cookie dough obsession continues! I recently posted these cookie dough bars and they seemed to go down a treat with you guys, so I decided to go back to the kitchen and whip up another cookie dough creation for you. This time with added protein :D I try to make sure I consume enough protein throughout the day, which can sometimes be a struggle when trying to avoid meat and animal products. I ALWAYS add protein powder to my breakfast, whether that be in my smoothies, nicecream, overnight oats, porridge or chia pudding. I get the most awful blood sugar crashes between breakfast and lunch and need protein to help keep my blood sugar levels steady. Vegan [...]
