Tahini Stuffed Chocolate Covered Dates

Tahini Stuffed Chocolate Covered Dates

Tahini Stuffed Chocolate Covered Dates A simple, yet decadent treat - these tahini stuffed chocolate covered dates are one of the easiest recipes on my blog, and one of my favourites too! As far as I'm concerned, this is one of the best desserts ever! Really easy to make (very little prep and no baking required) and you don't have to make a big batch, but it's also easy to scale up depending on how many mouths you want to feed. If I'm only making it for myself I would probably make 5-6 so I have just enough to satisfy my sweet tooth after a meal, but I won't be as tempted to over eat. Another plus is that as well [...]

Vegan Chocolate Orange Pancakes

Vegan Chocolate Orange Pancakes

Vegan Chocolate Orange Pancakes Rich and indulgent yet not too sweet or heavy - these vegan chocolate orange pancakes are the perfect Veganuray brunch! I haven't made pancakes in the longest time! Longer than I would like to admit. I usually only make them on special occasions like as a special treat on someone's birthday or on a weekend if I wake up nice and early, but the truth is pancakes can (and should!) be enjoyed often and so I'm taking it upon myself to increase my pancake intake, because they're too damn delicious not to be enjoyed on a regular basis! To make the batter super chocolatey with a hint of orange, I'm using Whittard's orange flavoured hot chocolate. It's completely vegan as is [...]

Chocolate Stars Granola

Chocolate Stars Granola

Chocolate Stars Granola * This post is sponsored by FREEE* If you love cereal and are looking for a bit of a change, try this healthier chocolate stars granola that’s vegan, gluten-free and so moreish! I know you love make-ahead of time breakfasts as much as I do. They really are such time savers and take the hassle out of your morning routine. It’s even more convenient when it’s easy enough to take with you to work if you don’t even have time for a sit-down breakfast. Skipping breakfast is not an option for me. If I don’t have a good filling breakfast in the morning it really plays havoc on my appetite later on in the day, especially late [...]

Chai Chia Pudding

Chai Chia Pudding

Chai Chia Pudding Another super easy and nourishing breakfast that you can prepare ahead of time. This chai chia pudding is perfect if you're taking part in Veganuary or if you're simply trying to eat healthier this month. Even though Christmas is over and we're already half way through the first month of the new year, I'm still craving all the warming and comforting spices. I love chai tea, and I had the idea to create a recipe incorporating tea bags into a recipe instead of using whole or ground spices. Why not? I figured chai tea bags already have just the right combination of flavours making it a much easier way to get the perfect chai flavour into a recipe. Chia [...]

Breakfast Fibre Flake Bars

Breakfast Fibre Flake Bars

Breakfast Fibre Flake Bars * This post is sponsored by FREEE* These breakfast fibre flake bars are perfect to enjoy on busy mornings either before you leave the house, or on-the-go. Are you looking for a fun way to liven up your breakfasts? I wanted a change from my usual smoothies and porridge bowls and felt I was stuck in a breakfast rut. Don't get me wrong, I love my porridge and smoothies, but every now and then I do like to change things up a little. A bit of a crunch is what I've been craving recently. Something crispy and satisfying to bite into! Also, I knew January was going to be a busy month after taking so much time out to [...]

Vegan Gluten-free Mince Pies

Vegan Gluten-free Mince Pies

Vegan Gluten-free Mince Pies This is my first Christmas recipe of the year and I'm kicking it off with a good one - these vegan and gluten-free mince pies! When I think of a Christmas dessert, the first thing that pops into my head is a mince pie. Last year I made these no-bake mince pies and wanted to create a baked version. The beauty of a no-bake treat is it's easier and quicker to make, but I think baked treats always taste better! These vegan gluten-free mince pies are healthier than your average mince pie. Lower in added sugar (only 2 tbsp of maple syrup used in the whole recipe) and saturated fat, but at the same time higher in [...]

No-bake Vegan Berry Cheesecake Jars

This no-bake vegan berry cheesecake jars are the perfect fuss-free dinner party dessert! This recipe is perfect for those days when you're craving a cheesecake, but don't want to make a whole cheesecake that serves eight to ten people when you live alone or with a partner and don't have that many mouths to feed. I live on my own so recently I've been turning to single-serve recipes to ensure I don't over eat (which is impossible when I have treats lying around!), but more importantly so nothing goes to waste. Whenever I'm testing recipes, more often than not [...]
