Vegan Strawberry Chocolate Protein Cupcakes

These vegan strawberry chocolate protein cupcakes are super delicious topped with a simple 3-ingredient protein chocolate frosting. They’re easy, made with healthier ingredients and packed with 15g protein per cupcake!  Why I love making these vegan strawberry chocolate protein cupcakes: I love adding protein powder to my treats. It’s such an easy way to add extra goodness without compromising on taste or texture. The great thing about using flavoured protein powders is that they also add some sweetness, meaning you don’t need to use as much sugar as you would in a regular recipe. Not only are these cupcakes high in protein, they’re also lower in added sugar!  I also love using finely ground oats instead of plain flour in [...]

Tahini Date Freezer Cups

These tahini date freezer cups make a lovely snack or healthier chilled treat to enjoy after dinner on hot days. Best of all is you only need 5 ingredients to make them!  I've probably said this about a million times before and I don't think I'll ever stop saying it - tahini and dates are the best dessert combination EVER! Even better when paired with cardamom. That flavour combination is one made in heaven!  Every time I post a recipe that includes tahini I still get asked the question 'what is tahini?'. It surprises me because it seems to me that tahini is now everywhere. So many people on social media use it in both sweet and savoury recipes. It's [...]

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 [...]

5-Ingredient Chocolate Filled Cookie Cups

Yummy no-bake cups filled with lush chocolate spread. These 5-ingredient chocolate filled cookie cups are so easy to make and so indulgent! Quick and easy recipes with few ingredients has become my thing! I personally prefer making recipes that take no time at all to make. I try to use healthier ingredients, but every now and then I like to indulge in a not-so-healthy treat because I hate the idea of restricting my diet and not enjoying food and life! It's been a really difficult year for everyone and we're all looking for small comforts to make our days feel less stressful. Making an easy treat like these chocolate cups can be very therapeutic - good for both the mind [...]

Vegan Chocolate Oat Cups

These vegan chocolate oat cups are the perfect quarantine indulgent sweet treat made with healthier ingredients like oats and tahini! An oaty layer, with a creamy and fudgy chocolatey centre and an oaty topping. I based this recipe on my chocolate tahini oat bars, which is one of the popular recipes on my blog. I think that's down to the fact that they're so easy to make, no-bake and include healthier ingredients that are easy to get hold of. I've changed around the quantities a little, but the main difference is that they're shaped into cups rather than bars. I halved the recipe because I'm in isolation with my partner and didn't want to make the full recipe and risk [...]

Chocolate Ganache Cupcakes (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Chocolate Ganache Cupcakes (Vegan & Gluten-free) Chocolate banana cupcakes topped with a lush two-ingredient chocolate ganache. All vegan, gluten-free and with no added sugar!  Since Valentine's day is just around the corner, these chocolate ganache cupcakes would make the perfect post dinner treat to impress that special someone on Valentine's day. Nothing says I love more than a sweet, rich chocolate sponge topped with a silky smooth chocolate ganache. Am I right or am I right? :D I topped mine with berries, because I love the contrast in colour between the red raspberries, deep purple blackberries and deep red cherries. It just adds so much more character and makes these cupcakes that much more inviting.  They're super simple to make using oat flour [...]

Vegan & Gluten-free Gingerbread Cupcakes

Vegan & Gluten-free Gingerbread Cupcakes Gingerbread is probably one of my favourite flavours around this time of year. It just gives me so much comfort and reminds me of cosy evenings on the sofa surrounded by loved ones watching Christmas movies.  I usually make my gingerbread men around Christmas time, but this year I wanted to try something a little different, but not too different. So I made these vegan gluten-free gingerbread cupcakes! With a spiced base and a rich and creamy cashew maple frosting.  I used a simple mixture of oat flour and ground almonds to make it gluten-free. I LOVE using those 2 ingredients in my healthy baking. Oats are so cheap and easy to get hold of and they're [...]
