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 [...]

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 [...]

Ice Cream Sandwiches 2 ways – Chocolate or Vanilla (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Ice Cream Sandwiches 2 ways – Chocolate or Vanilla (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Ice Cream Sandwiches 2 Ways - Chocolate or Vanilla (Vegan & Gluten-free) We've been really lucky in the UK the last couple of months in that we've had the most amazing weather. There's been so much sunshine we almost don't know what to do with ourselves. None of us is used to this much heat and sun! You'll find some making the most of it and enjoying every second of it, and others complaining about it. I have to say I was one of the latter. Don't get me wrong, I love the sunshine, it's the heat I can't stand. It makes me feel so sleepy, lethargic and irritable. Especially since moving into our new place. It seems our flat just draws [...]

Strawberry Chocolate S’mores

Strawberry Chocolate S’mores

Strawberry Chocolate S'mores S'mores aren't really a thing here in the UK, but they really should be! Two crunchy biscuits (aka cookies) with a melted marshmallow and melted chocolate. I can't think of anything better :D I missed out on so many years of toasted marshmallow goodness. I really didn't know what I was missing out on until I tried one for the first time and I was hooked! Really puts the regular, un-toasted marshmallow to shame. And now you can get gelatine-free marshmallows too (yay!!). In celebration of the Royal Wedding, I've created a traditional American recipe with a British twist by adding in some chopped strawberries to give them a 'strawberries and cream' feel. Everyone is in agreement [...]

4-Ingredient Salted Caramel Fudge (Vegan & Gluten-free)

4-Ingredient Salted Caramel Fudge (Vegan & Gluten-free)

4-Ingredient Salted Caramel Fudge Do you feel you overdosed on chocolate over the Easter holiday? No? Me neither, but can you really overdose on chocolate?? Well the answer is yes but it doesn't count during Easter :P Actually, I haven't had any Easter chocolate or any kind of Easter treats this year. I've been recipe developing meaning I had way too many of my own treats to work my way through that I didn't see the need to go out and buy an Easter egg and my family know not to get me treats for that exact same reason. Which worked out fine! It just means my chocolate cravings are as strong as ever, and that's why I'm posting this chocolate [...]
