3-Ingredient Chocolate Crunch Doughnuts

3-Ingredient Chocolate Crunch Doughnuts

A yummy crunchy treat that's so easy anyone and everyone can make it! These 3-ingredient chocolate crunch doughnuts are perfect for when you're craving something sweet, but don't feel like baking or making anything too complicated. This recipe is probably the most popular recipe on my blog to date. I think the reason is that they're so easy and only call for 3 ingredients. They're also really easy to adjust - you can add anything to them and you can shape them however you like. I love using doughnuts mould, but you can use any moulds you have on hand, or even use a cake tin and cut them up into bars/squares. These chocolate crunch doughnuts do remind me of [...]

Vegan Chocolate Rose Doughnuts

Vegan Chocolate Rose Doughnuts

*This post is sponsored by Conscious Chocolate* With Valentine's day just around the corner, why not make these cute vegan chocolate rose doughnuts for a special someone or a loved one? Healthier vegan and gluten-free chocolate doughnuts dipped in rose chocolate frosting for a decadent, yet light treat! The doughnuts are made with a mixture of gluten-free flour, almonds, cocoa powder and sweetened with coconut blossom sugar. They're baked rather than deep fired like typical doughnuts, so they feel much lighter and they're better for you! I used a 'flax egg' as a binder to make them vegan, but you can use a regular egg if you're not plant-based as well as regular dairy milk. If you're not fussed about the [...]

Caramel Chocolate Doughnut Cookies

Caramel Chocolate Doughnut Cookies

A fun recipe using silicon doughnut moulds. These caramel chocolate doughnut cookies are a fun take on Twix bars and made with healthier ingredients! Twix meets doughnuts! A doughnut shaped biscuits (aka cookie) with a layer of caramel all dipped in chocolate. The crunchy biscuit with the sweet caramel goes so well with the bitter dark chocolate coating and there's just a pinch of salt in the caramel to help intensify the flavour. All topped with a drizzle of caramel and crunchy nuts to make it look super pretty. I've made a couple of doughnut shaped desserts in the past that aren't actually doughnuts. I do love the idea of using doughnut silicon moulds to make something more creative and [...]

Salted Caramel Protein Ice Cream Doughnuts

Salted Caramel Protein Ice Cream Doughnuts

Salted Caramel Protein Ice Cream Doughnuts These salted caramel protein ice cream doughnuts are made up of a cookie/biscuit base, a protein salted maca caramel centre, a layer of gooey caramel all dipped in chocolate to make them extra decadent and lush! You really NEED to try this recipe! Prior to starting my blog and Instagram page, I never thought I could ever be creative. I grew up in Iraq, a country and environment that didn't encourage creativity. Not because its people chose not to be creative, but because they had been through so much hardship over the decades. We had to endure war after war, economic decline and never ending financial struggles. So over time things like creativity were seen as a luxury. Our [...]

Unicorn Doughnuts – Vegan & Gluten-free

Unicorn Doughnuts – Vegan & Gluten-free

Unicorn Doughnuts - Vegan & Gluten-free Is it just me or is this year flying by so quickly? How it almost April already?? Today is the first day of spring so it seemed fitting that I would post a more colourful dessert as apposed to my usual chocolate coloured desserts! I've always been drawn to pastel colours. There is such a calming and relaxing element to them and as someone who suffers with anxiety, I need all the calm I can get. I had seen loads of 'unicorn' inspired recipes on social media and instantly knew I wanted to join the craze, even if it is only a trend that will pass in a couple of months. If there is a [...]

Vegan Gluten-free Gingerbread Doughnuts

Vegan Gluten-free Gingerbread Doughnuts

Vegan Gluten-free Gingerbread Doughnuts During the festive season in my pre "healthy eating" days, we used to buy a lot of boxes of Christmas biscuits like Mcvitie's and Fox's and would over indulge on Celebrations and Quality Street chocolates. After all that was the tradition in many households and ours was no different. I used to let myself go and indulge in as many treats as I liked. And I used to wonder how I ever put on 10kg during the first couple of years since moving to the UK! It's all so clear now haha :P We never used to bake anything at home around Christmas. We didn't need to. There were so many treats that they were practically coming [...]
