Vegan Tahini Chocolate Fudge

Vegan Tahini Chocolate Fudge

Tahini Chocolate Fudge A delicious treat made using only 5 ingredients! This vegan tahini chocolate fudge is super easy to make and tastes divine ? I know most people associate tahini with savoury recipes like hummus and tahini sauce, but for me tahini suits sweet treats so much better. It's like nut butter, but made with seeds instead. I also think chocolate and tahini make the perfect flavour combination. If you've never tried chocolate with tahini before you're missing out big time! I based this recipe on my 2-ingredient vegan chocolate fudge that I made a while back. It was a huge hit and I can see why. A yummy healthier fudge recipe that requires not special fudge making equipment and calls for very [...]

Vegan & Gluten-free Scones

Vegan & Gluten-free Scones

Vegan & Gluten-free Scones Super easy, fail proof vegan and gluten-free scones that are easy to make and adapt. I was craving a comforting rainy day treat, and the first thing that came to mind was scones. Topped with jam and vegan creme fraiche- heaven! Went down a treat with my cup of cardamom tea ? I used a mixture of gluten-free flour and oat flour, which I made myself by blending plain rolled oats into a fine flour in the food processor. If you're allergic or intolerant to gluten do make sure you use gluten-free oats. Most oats are handled in the same facilities as other gluten containing products, so chances are there will be some gluten contamination. These scones [...]

Caramel Bramley Apple Energy Balls

Caramel Bramley Apple Energy Balls

Caramel Bramley Apple Energy Balls * This post is sponsored by Great British Apples* Quick, easy and healthy no-bake caramel apple energy balls. I love having snacks like these in my fridge for when I have a snack attack, which I usually get on busy days when I'm feeling stressed out and need something to keep me going between meals. They help me avoid reaching out for the biscuits and crisps, which are fine to have every now and then, but most of the time I try to make sure my snacks are as healthy as possible. I like to make a big batch of energy balls and enjoy them as a mid-morning snack with a cup of tea or as [...]

Vegan Peanut Butter Mug Cake

Vegan Peanut Butter Mug Cake

Vegan Peanut Butter Mug Cake A speedy treat for those times when you just want to have a slice of cake! This vegan peanut butter mug cake is really quick, easy and so yummy! This recipe is for anyone who likes cake, peanut butter and lacks patience when it comes to waiting for treats to be prepared. It's all well and good making a cake batter, waiting for it to bake and then waiting for it to cool down before you can finally tuck in. But what if you want a cake RIGHT NOW? Well you wouldn't want to wait, would you? I made this protein chocolate mug cake last year and it was a huge hit! So I thought [...]

Vegan & Gluten-free Cookie Dough Bites

Vegan & Gluten-free Cookie Dough Bites

Vegan & Gluten-free Cookie Dough Bites A delicious, easy and speedy treat that's healthier for you but still tastes delish! These vegan & gluten-free cookie dough bites are packed with healthy fats, fibre and yummy flavours. It's been a month since my last post! I can't believe I left it so long, although I have to say I did have a good excuse. Many of you already know that I've been working really hard the past few years on getting my nutrition qualification and the last few weeks I've been keeping my head down trying to get my end of year portfolio submitted. 3 case studies, an essay and a whole lot of paper work took it out of me. [...]

Chocolate Chip Almond Nicecream

Chocolate Chip Almond Nicecream

Chocolate Chip Almond Nicecream A quick and easy ice cream recipe that requires no churning! It's also much healthier than shop bought ice cream. I've been craving ice cream a lot recently. My flat is like a sauna and attracts the heat. So much so that it's actually warmer in the flat than it is outside! So you can imagine how hot it feels when it's 30 degrees outside. The only things I've been wanting to eat are ice cream and water melon. I've also been experiencing digestive problems due to stress and the fact that I haven't been eating well the past couple of months. I usually have a massive appetite and I'm always hungry. Now I find myself [...]

Vegan Biscoff Rocky Road

Vegan Biscoff Rocky Road

Vegan Biscoff Rocky Road A scrumptious chocolaty treat with lots of yummy flavours and interesting textures! Rocky road is such an easy dessert to make. No baking required and it's pretty foolproof so everyone and anyone can make it! It's enjoyed by adults and kids alike and is easily adjustable to suit different tastes, likes and dietary preferences. My father-in-law invited us to a last minute BBQ a few days ago and I wanted to make a speedy dessert to take with me so I don't show up empty handed. I had to make sure it was nut-free because my sister-in-law has a nut allergy. My husband's siblings are all a lot younger than him (the youngest being 13), so I had to also [...]

Vanilla Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

Vanilla Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

Vanilla Chocolate Sandwich Cookies It's no secret that I love cookies (or biscuits as we refer to them here in the UK) they're my favourite sweet treats and the kind of recipes I enjoy creating the most. I've made so many cookie recipes over the years from tahini chocolate cookies, no-bake thumbprint cookies and Nutella filled cookies to more adventurous cookies like chocolate & strawberry S'mores, cinnamon roll cookies and doughnut cookies more recently. I also love recreating vegan and gluten-free versions of classics like Jaffa cakes, Wagon Wheels and Jammie Dodgers. So yeah, I'm a cookie monster and proud of it! Another big love of mine is chocolate. Add chocolate to any dessert and I'll eat it! I think what [...]

Chocolate Chip Doughnut Cookies – Vegan & Gluten-free

Chocolate Chip Doughnut Cookies – Vegan & Gluten-free

Chocolate Chip Doughnut Cookies A crunchy cookie shaped like a doughnut. Who could resist one of these chocolate chip doughnut cookies? I haven't posted a dessert recipe on my blog in a while, which is so unlike me! So I thought it was about time I posted a new healthified treat. Chocolate chip cookies are a classic, and although they're perfect just the way they are, I wanted to put a fun spin on them. I used a silicon doughnut mould to create choc chip cookies shaped like a doughnuts to make them stand out from the crowed, and also because why not? I don't know what it is with me and doughnut shaped treats that are not actually doughnuts! I just [...]
