Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread

Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread

Who could say no to a lush slice of vegan chocolate banana bread? Not me! Banana bread is delicious as is, but add chocolate into the mix and you'll end up with something truly irresistible ? Banana bread is probably one of my favourite types of cake. I've made a few of banana bread recipes in the past, like my walnut banana bread, banana blueberry bread and this banana avocado bread. I can see myself making many more variations in the future too :D I just love how dense and moist they are. You really can't go wrong with a good banana bread. It's such a crowd-pleaser! Treat yourself or make it the next time you want to impress someone with your [...]

Vegan Chocolate Tahini Bunt Cake

A decadent cake, but made with healthier ingredients. This vegan chocolate tahini bundt cake is lovely and moist - the perfect winter treat!

Vegan Chocolate Swirl Pumpkin Fudge

Vegan Chocolate Swirl Pumpkin Fudge

This vegan chocolate swirl pumpkin fudge is easy, tasty and made using better-for-you ingredients! You also don't need any fancy equipment to make them - just a saucepan and spatula. I had some leftover pumpkin puree form testing another recipe that needed using up. There were so many recipe ideas going through my mind when it occurred to me that I hadn't made a fudge recipe in the longest time. Why not make a pumpkin fudge recipe? I wanted to make a super simple, no-fuss, few ingredient recipe that tasted good, but was also somewhat good for you. Made using pumpkin puree, nut butter, spices and a little bit of coconut oil to set and maple syrup to sweeten. To [...]

Vegan Mini Pumpkin Spice Latte Tarts

Vegan Mini Pumpkin Spice Latte Tarts

Yummy bite size tarts filled with a warming spiced pumpkin filling - these vegan mini pumpkin spice latte tarts are the perfect lighter autumn treat. It seems I'm on a pumpkin roll this year. I've gone from never using pumpkin in my recipes to sharing 2 recipes in one week! I'm starting to feel I've missed out on years of pumpkin joy. It really is such a versatile ingredient that can be used to make so many delicious healthier treats. Pumpkin puree is so much easier to get hold of now in the UK compared to a few years ago when I first wanted to explore using it in baking. The only place I could find it was online and [...]

4 Ingredient Almond Fudge

4 Ingredient Almond Fudge

Fudge, but not as you know it - these 4 ingredient almond fudge are made with healthier ingredients and there's no cooking required! For years, dates have been my No. 1 go-to ingredient to use in my desserts. Even though they are high in sugar (like most fruit are), I would prefer to eat a date than a spoon of sugar. It's like the argument that fruit juice is as bad as drinking fizzy drinks just because fruit juice is high in sugar. It may be high in sugar, yes, but it's also high in vitamins and antioxidants, which fizzy drinks are not. So if you're going to drink one or the other, of course fruit juice is better for [...]

Pumpkin Bread Recipe

Pumpkin Bread Recipe

The perfect autumnal treat - this pumpkin bread recipe is all you need to get you through a dreary, cold and rainy day! It's so easy to put together and made with healthier ingredients. To be completely honest, I only got into baking with pumpkin recently. Apart from the pumpkin spice lattes that pop up in coffee shops around October time, pumpkin in general isn't a big thing in the UK. Pumpkin puree isn't regularly available in supermarkets, although it's easy to find online. That's why I've never really felt the urge to bake with it. Having said that, I always see so many American recipes around this time of year using pumpkin and they always make my mouth water. Every [...]

Passion Fruit Mango White Chocolate Magnums

Brighten up your day with one of these passion fruit mango white chocolate magnums! They're so easy to make and only call for a handful of ingredients. They're also made with better-for-you ingredients like whole fruit and yoghurt. * This post is sponsored by Foodie Flavours* Summer may officially be over, but my insatiable appetite for ice cream knows no season! Whether it's winter or summer, hot or cold, I'm always in the mood for ice cream. Not any ice cream though, specifically magnums. I could honestly eat them all year round. It's the ice cream + chocolate combination that does it for me. The mixture of a crunchy chocolate shell and silky smooth, creamy centre. I love a good [...]

Nutty Vegan Chocolate Digestives

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 [...]

A simple no-bake treat – this vegan chocolate mint cheesecake is so yummy and made using healthier ingredients! With a crumbly base, smooth mint chocolate 'cheesecake' filling all topped with a layer of smooth ganache, this mint chocolate cheesecake is so easy to make and requires no baking. I always make sure that the ingredients I use are accessible and easy to find and the ingredients I use to make this cheesecake are no exception. I love using brewed tea to flavour desserts. There are so many fun and exciting flavours to play around with instead of using artificial food flavourings. Just use whatever you have in your tea drawer/cupboard. My favourite tea brand at the moment is Ahmad tea. I [...]

Protein Chocolate Cupcakes (With a Protein Chocolate Frosting)

Protein Chocolate Cupcakes (With a Protein Chocolate Frosting)

Protein Chocolate Cupcakes with a simple 3-ingredient protein chocolate frosting. They're easy to make, delicious and made using healthier ingredients! 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 my bakes. I find it works amazingly well in so many recipes. These cupcakes are topped with a simple 3-ingredient [...]
