Vegan Gluten-free Cinnamon Roll Cookies

Vegan Gluten-free Cinnamon Roll Cookies

Vegan Gluten-free Cinnamon Roll Cookies Cinnamon rolls with a twist, or are they cinnamon cookies with a twist? I'm not sure, but what I do know is that these vegan gluten-free cinnamon roll cookies are absolutely delicious and super addictive. Having only one is not an option I always enjoy baking with spices, but even more do during winter and especially closer to Christmas time. I grew up not celebrating Christmas, even though I'm half English, I grew up in Iraq, a muslim country and there weren't many English/Christian people around us, so there didn't seem much of a point to celebrate it. Also, I grew up in a third world, war torn country that was subjected to sanctions that made it difficult [...]

Chocolate Salted Caramel Cups

Chocolate Salted Caramel Cups

Delicious, decadent and completely plant-based! These chocolate salted caramel cups are so easy to make with only a handful of ingredients! * This post is sponsored by Nature’s Charm* No-bake recipes are my favourite kind of recipes to make, but especially so on a hot day like today. I can’t even think about turning the oven to bake something right now - it's that hot and humid! All you need to make these cups is a bowl, spoon and moulds/muffin pan - that's it! Mix the dough ingredients together, press into the pan then fill the centre with ready made vegan salted caramel sauce. I used Nature's Charm coconut based salted caramel sauce. Because it's so sweet, I made sure not [...]

Vegan Chocolate Caramel Crunch Bars

Vegan Chocolate Caramel Crunch Bars

Delicious crunchy treats that are made using healthier ingredients! These vegan chocolate caramel crunch bars are the perfect weekend treat! Made with dates, tahini, protein crispies and dark chocolate, these bars make a tasty healthier substitute to things like brownies and cake when you're craving a bit of chocolate. I used protein soy crispies instead of rice crispises to bump up the protein content and add a delicious crunch! I topped the bars with a layer of smooth dark chocolate to make them a little more indulgent, but you can leave the chocolate out if you want to make them lighter or reduce the calorie count. The 'caramel' is made up of a simple blend of dates and tahini with [...]

Hot Cross Millionaire’s Shortbread

Hot Cross Millionaire’s Shortbread

We all need a treat this Easter after the last 12 months we've all had (stills can't believe it's been a whole year since the first lockdown!). And now that we can meet people outdoors again, it would be lovely to start sharing food with others. This Hot Cross Millionaire's Shortbread traybake is the perfect crowd pleaser that everyone can enjoy this Bank Holiday. Made up of a crumbly shortbread base, a healthier date caramel centre and a chocolate topping. What's not to love? I added the warming flavours of a hot cross bun, allspice and cinnamon, to make it taste more like a hot cross bun. You can also add some sultanas to the caramel centre to add more [...]

Easter Egg Brownies (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Easter Egg Brownies (Vegan & Gluten-free)

It's often difficult to make bakes that are both vegan and gluten-free. Vegan bakes usually work best with plain wheat flour and gluten-free bakes need eggs to make the recipe work. So it can be a struggle to tick both boxes and still end up with something yummy with the right texture and consistency. Not only have I managed to make these brownies both vegan AND gluten-free, I've also made them using only 6 main ingredients! They're delicious, especially when topped with a vegan white chocolate drizzle. If you're looking for an easy Easter bake that's both vegan and gluten-free (it's also nut-free!), then you need to try these brownies! I added some food colouring to the white chocolate to [...]

Vegan Cookie Dough Brownies

Vegan Cookie Dough Brownies

Delicious ooey gooey brownies topped with an equally yummy cookie dough layer! These vegan cookie dough brownies are a must try! This recipe is slightly more difficult compared to my usual 4 or 5 ingredient recipes, but the result is so worth the extra effort! It's still really easy, you just need to create 2 separate batters, one for the brownie layer and another for the cookie dough! They're made using healthier ingredients like oats, almonds, flaxseed and almond butter! I did use brown sugar to sweeten, but a little sugar here and there is ok as long as you don't over do it. Vegan Cookie Dough Brownies Makes - 8 Ingredients For the brownie layer50g (1/4 cup) ground almonds55g [...]

Peanut Butter Filled Cookies

Peanut Butter Filled Cookies

You can probably tell I'm really into both cookies (aka biscuits in the UK) and chocolate! In fact if I had to pick only one dessert/treat that I can eat for the rest of my life, it would be some sort of biscuit dipped or covered in chocolate! I posted these biscuits on my blog a couple of years ago, but I decided to make them again, film them and take new shots since my photography skills have improved somewhat compared to when I first posted the recipe. These peanut butter filled cookies are both vegan and gluten-free. They're also really easy to make! A crunchy biscuit, topped with a simple 2 ingredient peanut butter centre, all dipped in dark [...]

5-Ingredient No-bake Peanut Butter Brownies

If you're looking for a super easy and yummy dessert, look no further! These 5-ingredient no-bake peanut butter brownies are so moreish yet couldn't be simpler to make! No-bake desserts are my favourite type of treats to make. They're so easy, call for few ingredients and taste so good! What I also love about them is that you can adjust the taste and texture as you go along rather than having to wait for something to bake before you know whether it's worked or not! Many of you following me on Instagram seem to prefer my easy, few ingredient recipes too, that's another reason why I find myself gravitating back to this sort of recipe. These brownies are based on [...]

Vegan No-Bake Coffee Cheesecakes

Vegan No-Bake Coffee Cheesecakes

*This post is sponsored by Planted* We all need a good pick-me-up at the moment, and these delicious and decadent no-bake vegan coffee cheesecakes are exactly what you need after a long and stressful day! I’ve always loved coffee flavoured desserts. I really do think coffee is such an underrated flavour when it comes to desserts and so I’ve taken it upon myself to add to the coffee treat catalogue to show it a little more appreciation! This is my take on a vegan no-bake cheesecake. Super creamy and lush without having any dairy or gluten! The base is chocolaty as I think chocolate and coffee go perfectly together. Made with oats, cocoa powder with a little bit of coconut [...]
