Oat Chocolate Chip Cookies

Oat Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you think chocolate chip cookies couldn’t possibly get any better, think again. These oat chocolate chip cookies are rich, hearty, and surprisingly nourishing - without losing that irresistible chocolate-studded charm. By simply swapping out he plain flour for ground oats, we're adding a natural boost of fibre, vitamins, and minerals to every bite, making the cookies not just delicious but genuinely more wholesome. Why I love making these oat chocolate chip cookies: 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 [...]

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 [...]

Vegan Protein Ferrero Rocher

Vegan Protein Ferrero Rocher

Who can say no to a Ferrero Rocher? What if I told you you can make them at home with healthier ingredients? These vegan protein Ferrero Rocher are a must try! I had just ordered a new tub of hazelnut butter and was brainstorming fun ways to use it in a recipe. I'm a massive fan of using protein powder in treats and it occurred to me that I hadn't made a protein recipe in a while. That's when the idea of making a protein version of the well-loved classic treat came to me. I already have a healthier Ferrero Rocher recipe on my blog (find the recipe here), but I wanted to make another version that had added protein. [...]

These protein chocolate sandwich cookies are a great treat for when you're craving something sweet, but want a healthier option. I love making healthier treats. I do believe you can treat yourself, but still nourish your body at the same. If you're going to eat something tasty, why not make it good for you too? I'm a huge advocate of using protein powders. They're such an easy and fun way to add extra protein into your diet. Many of us have busy lifestyles that make meal planning a bit tricky. Some days I don't have time to plan and shop for ingredients to make a healthy balanced [...]

Vegan Chocolate Orange Marble Loaf

Vegan Chocolate Orange Marble Loaf

A delicious cake topped with a dark chocolate shell - this vegan chocolate orange marble loaf is the perfect dinner party treat to impress your guests! Chocolate and orange is always a winning combination in my eyes, especially in cake form. I've taken it a step further and topped my marble loaf with a dark chocolate shell for extra yumminess and decadence! You can't go wrong with adding more chocolate, can you? I don't bake many cakes, but when I do it's usually in the form of a loaf, like this lemon loaf, chocolate banana bread or chocolate peanut butter banana bread. I find loaf cakes so much more delicious and satisfying. They're so dense and moist, which is what [...]

Vegan Lemon Cheesecakes

Zesty and creamy lemon cups - like a cheesecake, but so much lighter. These vegan lemon cheesecakes 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 leave to [...]

Vegan Strawberry Custard Tarts

Vegan Strawberry Custard Tarts

Mini puff pastry tarts topped with fruity jam, creamy custard and fresh strawberries. What's not to love? These vegan strawberry custard tarts are the perfect way to celebrate summer! Custard is a classic English dessert, one that's used to accompany so many treats like a crumble, pudding or cake. It's also an essential part or the British trifle. Although it's usually used to drizzle over puddings, I honestly think custard is a strong enough contender to stand as a main dessert in its own right. I would happily curl up on the sofa with a bowl of (warm or cold, depending on the season) plain custard. I would even go so far as to say I'd probably pick a bowl [...]
