No-Bake Peanut Butter Chocolate Pinwheels (Vegan & Gluten-free)

No-Bake Peanut Butter Chocolate Pinwheels (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Peanut Butter Chocolate Pinwheels I'm really into quick and easy recipes at the moment that require only a handful of ingredients and it seems you're loving them too! After the success of my 3-ingredient chocolate crunch doughnuts (people went crazy for them on Pinterest!), I thought I would start creating more few ingredient recipes. I see the appeal of simple recipes. Because I create recipes and bake treats for a living, I sometimes forget that not everyone has much time to make their own treats and so don't give the time aspect of it much thought. But recently I found myself preoccupied with studies and clinic prep for my course that I haven't had almost no time to do anything else. It made [...]

Ice Cream Sandwiches 2 ways – Chocolate or Vanilla (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Ice Cream Sandwiches 2 ways – Chocolate or Vanilla (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Ice Cream Sandwiches 2 Ways - Chocolate or Vanilla (Vegan & Gluten-free) We've been really lucky in the UK the last couple of months in that we've had the most amazing weather. There's been so much sunshine we almost don't know what to do with ourselves. None of us is used to this much heat and sun! You'll find some making the most of it and enjoying every second of it, and others complaining about it. I have to say I was one of the latter. Don't get me wrong, I love the sunshine, it's the heat I can't stand. It makes me feel so sleepy, lethargic and irritable. Especially since moving into our new place. It seems our flat just draws [...]

Strawberry Chocolate S’mores

Strawberry Chocolate S’mores

Strawberry Chocolate S'mores S'mores aren't really a thing here in the UK, but they really should be! Two crunchy biscuits (aka cookies) with a melted marshmallow and melted chocolate. I can't think of anything better :D I missed out on so many years of toasted marshmallow goodness. I really didn't know what I was missing out on until I tried one for the first time and I was hooked! Really puts the regular, un-toasted marshmallow to shame. And now you can get gelatine-free marshmallows too (yay!!). In celebration of the Royal Wedding, I've created a traditional American recipe with a British twist by adding in some chopped strawberries to give them a 'strawberries and cream' feel. Everyone is in agreement [...]

Blueberry Scones (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Blueberry Scones (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Blueberry Scones (Vegan & Gluten-free) I've only made a scone recipe once before when I first started my blog and was fairly new to baking and recipe creating. I don't know why it's taken me so many years to finally make another one. It's not like scones are one of the most quintessential British bakes ever or anything like that! :P So I thought it was about time I went into my kitchen and made another scone recipe, but this time vegan, gluten-free and packed with blueberries! Because blueberries! I've teamed up with Seasonal Berries to demonstrate how versatile their Chilean blueberries can be and how you can incorporate them into sweet, delicious and moreish treats. Bursting with antioxidants, vitamins [...]

Cookie Dough Brownie Bars

Cookie Dough Brownie Bars

Cookie Dough Brownie Bars A few years ago and before embarking on my health journey, I never thought healthier desserts existed. How can you have a dessert that's also somewhat good for you? It just couldn't be done, unless it was mainly fruit. Now I know the word 'health' and 'healthy' have different definitions to different people depending on their stand point. Just to give an example, I've come across people who don't even consider fruit healthy and avoid them at all cost because they're 'too high in sugar'. That notion still baffles me. When I say 'healthier' treats I mean treats that are lower in sugar and saturated fat but at the same higher in things like fibre. Treats that contain more 'whole' ingredients [...]

Healthy Baked Waffles (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Healthy Baked Waffles (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Healthy Baked Waffles (Vegan & Gluten-free) Healthy waffles made with oat flour instead of plain flour, almond butter instead of oil and sweetened with stevia. they're also egg-free and suitable for vegans and those with a gluten allergy/intolerance. Do you own a waffle maker? I used to, but I rarely used it. I found it so difficult to create a healthy vegan, egg-free waffle without the batter sticking to the waffle iron. It almost always ended up in a huge mess, and trying to get the stuck batter off was a nightmare! That really put me off using my waffle maker. I must admit it was a cheap waffle maker and I haven't owned one since, so my waffle maker [...]

4-Ingredient Salted Caramel Fudge (Vegan & Gluten-free)

4-Ingredient Salted Caramel Fudge (Vegan & Gluten-free)

4-Ingredient Salted Caramel Fudge Do you feel you overdosed on chocolate over the Easter holiday? No? Me neither, but can you really overdose on chocolate?? Well the answer is yes but it doesn't count during Easter :P Actually, I haven't had any Easter chocolate or any kind of Easter treats this year. I've been recipe developing meaning I had way too many of my own treats to work my way through that I didn't see the need to go out and buy an Easter egg and my family know not to get me treats for that exact same reason. Which worked out fine! It just means my chocolate cravings are as strong as ever, and that's why I'm posting this chocolate [...]

Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies (No-Bake, Vegan & Gluten-free)

Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies (No-Bake, Vegan & Gluten-free)

Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies (No-Bake, Vegan & Gluten-free) I find thumbprint cookies so cute and fun to make. I recently made a blueberry pistachio & cardamom thumbprint cookie recipe, which received a lot of love on my Instagram feed. So, I thought why not create another one, but this time a no-bake version with a chocolate hazelnut centre. These no-bake chocolate thumbprint cookies are super easy to make and only call for five ingredients, well technically six, but who counts salt as an ingredient anyway? They're a really good back up treat idea when you need to whip up something quick either when you're craving something sweet or if you have guests coming over and have nothing to serve them. Whenever I'm expecting [...]

Pistachio Cardamom Rose Loaf (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Pistachio Cardamom Rose Loaf (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Pistachio Cardamom Rose Loaf (Vegan & Gluten-free) A deliciously nutty pistachio loaf flavoured with aromatic cardamom and topped with a silky pink rose flavoured frosting. Decorated with chopped pistachios and pomegranate seeds to add a pretty pop of colour contrast. A couple of days ago I posted a pistachio cardamom thumbprint cookie recipe and it made me realise how much I love that flavour combination. As you may be able to tell this loaf is inspired by Middle Eastern flavours. Pistachios, cardamom, rose and pomegranate are all essential ingredients in Middle Eastern cooking and especially desserts. Think baklava meats Turkish delight. This is what this cake tastes like to me. And I'm a huge fan of both baklava AND Turkish delight! I absolutely love sweet, [...]
