4-Ingredient Almond Cookies

4-Ingredient Almond Cookies

Delicious cookies that are super easy to make and taste delish! These 4-ingredient almond cookies are a must try. Did you know you can make cookies using only 4 ingredients? AND they're much better for you compared to regular cookies. They're also vegan and gluten-free. I'm still trying to keep my recipes super simple with as little ingredients as possible since food shopping is still a bit of a pain with having to queue up and certain items still being out of stock. Also simpler recipes like this mean they're a lot faster to make and leave less washing up behind! Why buy unhealthy cookies filled with sugar, fats and God knows what else, when you can easily make a [...]

Vegan Chocolate Oat Cups

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 [...]

Easy, no-bake, mix in the same bowl kind of desserts are my favourite. They take less time to prep and leave you with fewer dishes to wash up later on.

Now more than ever we’re looking for small comforts to get us through these unusual and uncertain times. Cake and a cup of tea may not solve any of our problems, but it can give us a short sense of relief and distraction. The best we can do right now is try to stay as positive as possible.
