Crunchy Nut & Seed Rounds

These crunchy nut & seed rounds are my new favourite way to get some heart healthy nuts and seeds into my diet.  We should all be increasing our nut/seed intake. They're associated with so many health benefits, mainly because they're packed with fibre, antioxidants and healthy fats. They're also satiating and satisfying because of their fat content. Plus they contain some plant-based protein, which helps make them even more satisfying and filling.  Many of us crave things like crisps/biscuits because we find that crunch when we bite into them so satisfying. Nuts & seeds make such a great snack alternative because they also offer that satisfying crunch. They're even tastier when roasted!  These crunchy rounds are so handy to have [...]

Rich, dense and chewy chocolate cookies made using healthier ingredients - these Chocolate Fudge Tahini Cookies are completely plant-based and gluten-free. If you love chocolate and tahini, then these chocolate fudge tahini cookies are for you. In fact if you love cookies, full stop, you need to try these! I made these cookies years ago and posted them on my blog (click here for the original recipe), but I've had a lot of requests for an egg-free version and I've finally managed to get the chance to re-test the recipe and found the perfect ratio of ingredients for them to work without the eggs. They're super dense and so chocolatey and lush :D and best of all they only call for 7 ingredients! [...]

Packed with nuts, cranberries and a hint of orange with a layer of dark chocolate to intensify the flavour!

All you have to do to make these vegan & gluten-free florentines is to add everything to a pan (apart from the chocolate), heat to combine, shape into cookies and bake! There [...]

Walnut Cranberry & White Chocolate Biscotti

Nothing beats a crunchy biscotti with a cup of tea. These Walnut cranberry & white chocolate biscotti make a lovely lighter treat to enjoy during the festive period. *This post is sponsored by California Walnuts* For me, biscuits and cookies are the king of desserts.

I’m teaming up with California Walnuts to bring you an easy & fun festive walnut recipe to help you get Christmas, Cracked. I wanted to put a bit of a fun spin on the traditional biscotti, and make a walnut version to show how [...]

Gingerbread Ganache Cookies (Vegan & Gluten-free)

A smooth chocolate ganache sandwiched in between 2 crunchy gingerbread biscuits. These gingerbread ganache cookies make a yummy festive treat that also happen to be vegan, gluten-free AND nut-free! *This post is sponsored by FREEE* This is my favourite gingerbread cookie/biscuit recipe, but instead of icing it like you typically would do with gingerbread biscuits, I’ve created a cookie sandwich with a smooth and velvety ganache in the middle. So yummy and moreish! Biscuits have always (and I imagine they always will be) my favourite treat! I would always pick a good biscuit over a slice of cake or a brownie. I just love that crunch you get with a freshly baked biscuit. This Christmas I wanted to create a [...]

Nutty Vegan Chocolate Digestives

Nutty vegan chocolate digestives made at home with easy to find ingredients. They can also easily be made gluten-free! A homemade vegan digestive biscuit topped with a layer of chocolatey toasted almonds! These are essentially pimped up digestives. So if you're a fan of chocolate digestives, you definitely need to give these a try! Dark chocolate Digestives are my go to biscuit and I often make my own at home because they’re so easy to make and I think everything tastes better when it’s homemade. So I decided to make a fancier version with toasted flaked almonds in the chocolate topping. The almond chocolate layer really makes them feel so decadent - like the biscuits you would spend a lot [...]

Oat Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies

These oat flour chocolate chip cookies are my take on the classic treat, but made with oats instead of plain flour. I love making healthier desserts, but every now and then I also like to make something a little more indulgent. Let’s be realistic here, some days you just need something comforting to satisfy your taste buds and your soul. We all know that something as simple as a cookie can help lift us up when we’re having a bad day.   Oats are one of my favourite ingredients to use in my desserts. It also works really great in baking and it’s an easy way to get extra fibre into the diet, which is a bonus. [...]
