Healthy Blueberry Muffins

Healthy Blueberry Muffins

These healthy blueberry muffins make a great breakfast on-the-go option for busy mornings, a handy portable snack or lighter post meal dessert. They're made using better-for-you ingredients, but still taste delicious! When it comes to breakfast or snack options, blueberry muffins are a classic. But many store-bought versions are loaded with sugar and unhealthy fats, leaving you with a delicious yet less-than-healthy treat. The good news is that with a few simple tweaks, you can transform blueberry muffins into a wholesome, nutrient-packed snack that still satisfies your sweet tooth. Why I love making these healthy blueberry muffins: By making a few simple ingredient swaps, these healthy blueberry muffins become much more nutritious than the typical sugar-laden varieties. Instead of plain [...]

Vegan Cardamom Orange Muffins

Vegan Cardamom Orange Muffins

Light and fluffy muffins that are packed with yummy flavours - these vegan cardamom orange muffins make a lovely light treat to go with your cuppa! Desserts are my favourite kind of recipes to make. I've always had a major sweet tooth. I think it's mainly down to the fact that growing up in a war torn country meant we didn't have the luxury of enjoying treats. So I think now my body wants me to make up for it! The only problem is I have IBS, eczema and anxiety issues, which means yet again I don't have the luxury of eating whatever I want without it having some sort of negative impact on my mind and body. When people [...]

Healthier Vegan Lemon Cups

Healthier Vegan Lemon Cups

Zesty and creamy lemon cups - like a cheesecake, but so much lighter. These healthier vegan lemon cups are so easy to put together and makes for a lovely chilled treat now that the weather is warming up. It's no secret that I love my decadent chocolatey desserts, but I also love fruity treats, especially when I'm looking for something light after a meal. A simple crumbly no-bake oaty base, topped with a smooth and lush lemony filling made up of cashews, coconut milk and lots of lemon goodness! You don't need to soak the cashews before hand - just add everything to a blender, then heat up in a pan (to allow starch gelatinisation). Pour into muffin moulds and [...]

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.

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 [...]

Protein Chocolate Mug Cake (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Protein Chocolate Mug Cake (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Protein Chocolate Mug Cake You know those times when you really really crave a slice of chocolate cake (or in my case any kind of chocolatey baked good), but don't have anything remotely like cake in the house and wish that you had. I'm sharing a recipe that will come in handy for exactly those moments! A chocolate protein mug cake that's super rich and decadent but much healthier than a regular cake. Made with protein powder, ground almonds, cocoa, plant-based milk and almond butter. I also used a little maple syrup for extra sweetness but you can absolutely replace that with more plant-based milk instead to make it lower in sugar. For me, this is a life saver! Every now [...]
