Vegan Cookie Dough Hearts

Vegan Cookie Dough Hearts

Vegan Cookie Dough Hearts If you're looking for a really easy last minute dessert for Valentine's day, try these vegan cookie dough hearts. They only call for 6 ingredients, they're no bake and are better for you than your average indulgent dessert. Plus, they look really cute! Dipped in chocolate to make them that bit more special. These vegan cookie dough hearts are a good option for anyone who isn't a huge chocolate fan. Let's face it, most Valentine's day themed desserts tend to be very heavily reliant on chocolate, which makes it a little tricky if your special someone isn't the biggest fan. These hearts mainly taste of peanut butter, with a little sweetness from the maple syrup and a [...]

Tahini Stuffed Chocolate Covered Dates

Tahini Stuffed Chocolate Covered Dates

Tahini Stuffed Chocolate Covered Dates A simple, yet decadent treat - these tahini stuffed chocolate covered dates are one of the easiest recipes on my blog, and one of my favourites too! As far as I'm concerned, this is one of the best desserts ever! Really easy to make (very little prep and no baking required) and you don't have to make a big batch, but it's also easy to scale up depending on how many mouths you want to feed. If I'm only making it for myself I would probably make 5-6 so I have just enough to satisfy my sweet tooth after a meal, but I won't be as tempted to over eat. Another plus is that as well [...]

Vegan Chocolate Orange Pancakes

Vegan Chocolate Orange Pancakes

Vegan Chocolate Orange Pancakes Rich and indulgent yet not too sweet or heavy - these vegan chocolate orange pancakes are the perfect Veganuray brunch! I haven't made pancakes in the longest time! Longer than I would like to admit. I usually only make them on special occasions like as a special treat on someone's birthday or on a weekend if I wake up nice and early, but the truth is pancakes can (and should!) be enjoyed often and so I'm taking it upon myself to increase my pancake intake, because they're too damn delicious not to be enjoyed on a regular basis! To make the batter super chocolatey with a hint of orange, I'm using Whittard's orange flavoured hot chocolate. It's completely vegan as is [...]

Vegan Peanut Butter Mug Cake

Vegan Peanut Butter Mug Cake

Vegan Peanut Butter Mug Cake A speedy treat for those times when you just want to have a slice of cake! This vegan peanut butter mug cake is really quick, easy and so yummy! This recipe is for anyone who likes cake, peanut butter and lacks patience when it comes to waiting for treats to be prepared. It's all well and good making a cake batter, waiting for it to bake and then waiting for it to cool down before you can finally tuck in. But what if you want a cake RIGHT NOW? Well you wouldn't want to wait, would you? I made this protein chocolate mug cake last year and it was a huge hit! So I thought [...]

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 [...]
