Peanut Butter Chocolate Oat Cups

Delicious oaty cups with a layer of peanut butter all topped with smooth chocolate - these Peanut Butter Chocolate Oat Cups are super delicious and packed with goodness. Even though we've had many hot days here in the UK, that shouldn't stop us from the joy of making our own treats. The way around it is to make desserts that don't require you turning on the oven. The last thing you want on a hot stuffy day is to add to the unbearable heat by turning on the oven unnecessarily. Treats like these peanut butter chocolate oat cups are perfect for such warm and clammy days. They're no-bake and they're served cold straight from the fridge. The no baking part [...]

Gluten-Free Vegan Yule Log

Gluten-Free Vegan Yule Log

*This post is sponsored by FREEE* If you’re looking for a show-stopping dessert, this gluten-free vegan yule log is for you! A delicious chocolate sponge with a buttercream filling and a decadent ganache topping – what’s not to love? Yule logs can be tricky, but somehow FREEE managed to make a really easy fool-proof recipe that’s both vegan and gluten-free! The sponge is so chocolatey (and easy to roll!) with a deliciously smooth filling and a lush ganache. How they were able to tick all those boxes, I don’t know! I must admit I’d never made a yule log before. They seemed too faffy and long winded, but when I saw how simple the instructions for this recipe were, I [...]

Coconut Caramel Bars

Coconut Caramel Bars

A delicious sweet treat that's super easy to make, these coconut caramel bars are the perfect post meal treat! Have you seen the new Celebrations Christmas advert? You know, the one where the bounty bar is lonely and no one loves him. It's become a running joke that the humble Bounty bar is the one chocolate left untouched every Christmas when the Celebration box comes out. What?? Is it just me that ALWAYS picks a bounty before any of the other Celebrations chocs? I'd be happy with a box full of bounty bars and nothing else. Actually, my partner is the same as me. Bounty is his favourite, so neither of us can understand why they're so unloved! I love [...]

Hazelnut Cream Bars

Hazelnut Cream Bars

A biscuit base, smooth hazelnut centre all topped with dark chocolate - these hazelnut cream bars are so delicious and dreamy! I made these copycat Kinder Bueno Bars a few weeks ago and they were a massive hit! What I love most about them is that the hazelnut cream centre is literally made up of 2 ingredients only - white chocolate and hazelnut butter! I just love recipes with few ingredients. I wanted to use that 2 ingredient hazelnut cream and incorporate it into another one of my popular recipes - these Biscoff Squares. These hazelnut cream bars are made using healthier ingredients like oats, ground almonds and hazelnut butter. I always try to use less sugar/sweetener in my treats [...]

Chocolate Salted Caramel Cups

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. I can’t even think about turning the oven to bake something right now - it's that hot and humid! All you need to make these cups is a bowl, spoon and moulds/muffin pan - that's it! Mix the dough ingredients together, press into the pan then fill the centre with ready made vegan salted caramel sauce. I used Nature's Charm coconut based salted caramel sauce. Because it's so sweet, I made sure not [...]

Vegan Cookie Dough Ice Cream

*This post is sponsored by Planted* Creamy homemade dairy-free and vegan ice cream that’s made using a handful of ingredients – this vegan cookie dough ice cream is no churn and so easy to make! It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here and I’m so sorry for my absence! It’s been a hectic few months moving house, working on lots of side projects and client work and just busy with life in general. I’ve still been active on my Instagram page as it’s always been my main platform and creative outlet where I share all of my recipes. Since Instagram Reels came along late last year, I've started filming and editing A LOT more videos, which take [...]

Vegan Chocolate Caramel Crunch Bars

Vegan Chocolate Caramel Crunch Bars

Delicious crunchy treats that are made using healthier ingredients! These vegan chocolate caramel crunch bars are the perfect weekend treat! Made with dates, tahini, protein crispies and dark chocolate, these bars make a tasty healthier substitute to things like brownies and cake when you're craving a bit of chocolate. I used protein soy crispies instead of rice crispises to bump up the protein content and add a delicious crunch! I topped the bars with a layer of smooth dark chocolate to make them a little more indulgent, but you can leave the chocolate out if you want to make them lighter or reduce the calorie count. The 'caramel' is made up of a simple blend of dates and tahini with [...]

Hot Cross Millionaire’s Shortbread

Hot Cross Millionaire’s Shortbread

We all need a treat this Easter after the last 12 months we've all had (stills can't believe it's been a whole year since the first lockdown!). And now that we can meet people outdoors again, it would be lovely to start sharing food with others. This Hot Cross Millionaire's Shortbread traybake is the perfect crowd pleaser that everyone can enjoy this Bank Holiday. Made up of a crumbly shortbread base, a healthier date caramel centre and a chocolate topping. What's not to love? I added the warming flavours of a hot cross bun, allspice and cinnamon, to make it taste more like a hot cross bun. You can also add some sultanas to the caramel centre to add more [...]

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 [...]

5-Ingredient No-bake Peanut Butter Brownies

If you're looking for a super easy and yummy dessert, look no further! These 5-ingredient no-bake peanut butter brownies are so moreish yet couldn't be simpler to make! No-bake desserts are my favourite type of treats to make. They're so easy, call for few ingredients and taste so good! What I also love about them is that you can adjust the taste and texture as you go along rather than having to wait for something to bake before you know whether it's worked or not! Many of you following me on Instagram seem to prefer my easy, few ingredient recipes too, that's another reason why I find myself gravitating back to this sort of recipe. These brownies are based on [...]
