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 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 [...]

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 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.
