Healthy Banana Bread

Healthy Banana Bread

Who could say no to a lush slice of healthy banana bread? Not me! Banana bread is delicious as is, but add chocolate into the mix and you'll end up with something truly irresistible ? Few smells are as comforting as banana bread baking in the oven - the warm sweetness of ripe bananas, the faint nuttiness of toasted oats, that caramel edge where the crust meets the pan. It’s a nostalgic treat for many of us, yet it’s also one of the easiest baked goods to make healthier without sacrificing any of that cosy, homey goodness. This healthy banana bread recipe isn’t about deprivation - it’s about balance. It’s about making choices that nourish your body and satisfy your [...]

Vegan Chocolate Swirl Pumpkin Fudge

Vegan Chocolate Swirl Pumpkin Fudge

I wanted to make a super simple, no-fuss, few ingredient recipe that tasted good, but was also somewhat good for you. Made using pumpkin puree, nut butter, spices and a little bit of coconut oil to set and maple syrup to sweeten. To [...]

4 Ingredient Almond Fudge

4 Ingredient Almond Fudge

Fudge, but not as you know it - these 4 ingredient almond fudge are made with healthier ingredients and there's no cooking required! For years, dates have been my No. 1 go-to ingredient to use in my desserts. Even though they are high in sugar (like most fruit are), I would prefer to eat a date than a spoon of sugar. It's like the argument that fruit juice is as bad as drinking fizzy drinks just because fruit juice is high in sugar. It may be high in sugar, yes, but it's also high in vitamins and antioxidants, which fizzy drinks are not. So if you're going to drink one or the other, of course fruit juice is better for [...]

Protein Chocolate Cupcakes with a simple 3-ingredient protein chocolate frosting. They're easy to make, delicious and made using healthier ingredients! I love adding protein powder to my treats. It's such an easy way to add extra goodness without compromising on taste or texture. The great thing about using flavoured protein powders is that they also add some sweetness, meaning you don't need to use as much sugar as you would in a regular recipe. Not only are these cupcakes high in protein, they're also lower in added sugar! I also love using finely ground oats instead of plain flour in my bakes. I find it works amazingly well in so many recipes. These cupcakes are topped with a simple 3-ingredient [...]
