Blueberry Nectarine Baked Porridge

Blueberry Nectarine Baked Porridge

Blueberry Nectarine Baked Porridge If you're looking for new and fun breakfast ideas that you can prepare in advance and enjoy fuss free on a busy morning, then you need to try this blueberry nectarine baked porridge recipe! Now that the weather is finally getting colder, my breakfasts are now changing from frozen smoothie bowls to porridge and my new favourite, baked porridge! Or baked oatmeal as it's known in other parts of the world. I'm finding myself craving warm breakfasts more and more. And I know once the UK winter kicks in, I'll say goodbye to my smoothie bowls for good (well, until next spring!), as I welcome bowls of comforting, stodgy oats. One of the things I really miss about winter [...]

Easy Coconut Chickpea Curry

Easy Coconut Chickpea Curry

Easy Coconut Chickpea Curry For me, meals like this easy coconut chickpea curry are such a huge time saver on a busy day. Come evening time I don't usually have the energy to cook, especially if I've been recipe creating or filming earlier that day followed by cleaning and tidying. It can really take it out of me. So I always fall back on quick and easy recipes like this one that doesn't require much time to prepare and uses ingredients I always have available in my pantry. Ingredients like canned chickpeas, canned coconut milk, spices and rice. I use light coconut milk to make it slightly healthier and lighter. The great thing about this curry is that you can adapt it to [...]

Vegan and Gluten-free Pecan Oat Cookies

Vegan and Gluten-free Pecan Oat Cookies

Vegan and Gluten-free Pecan Oat Cookies Deliciously crunchy vegan and gluten-free pecan oat cookies perfect enjoyed with a cup of tea as an afternoon treat :D A few weeks ago it dawned on me that I had't baked cookies in ages. How did that happen?? I used to bake cookies so regularly since they're my favourite kind of treat (that and chocolate ;) ). If you know me, you know I love cake, but I have to admit that I love cookies even more! Especially the crunchy kind. To make up for the months of lack of cookies, I recently posted a chocolate hazelnut stuffed cookie recipe as well as a giant skillet chocolate chip cookie. Now, I'm sharing with you these vegan and gluten-free pecan oat [...]

Vegan and Gluten-free Chocolate Waffles

Vegan and Gluten-free Chocolate Waffles

Vegan and Gluten-free Chocolate Waffles Rich, vegan and gluten-free chocolate waffles using healthier ingredients. Based on my healthy baked waffles, but made in a waffle maker instead of waffle moulds. I recently bought a new waffle maker and was dying to try it out, so thought I would recreate this basic recipe but with added chocolate. I usually make waffles on a Sunday morning for me and the hubby and it's something we both look forward to. We don't have much time for a sit down breakfast during the week, so it's a real treat on the weekend to take our time prepping breakfast (although we don't usually eat until 10-11am, so technically it's brunch!) and have a chilled sit down meal on [...]

Vegan & Gluten-free Chocolate Hazelnut Stuffed Cookies

Vegan & Gluten-free Chocolate Hazelnut Stuffed Cookies

Vegan & Gluten-free Chocolate Hazelnut Stuffed Cookies There is so much buzz at the moment around The Great British Bake Off since the first episode was aired yesterday. Since the new season kicked started with cookies, I wanted to join the fun by offering up a stack of these vegan & gluten-free chocolate hazelnut stuffed cookies. They're basically Nutella stuffed cookies, but I used a dairy-free version of the spread, which you can get here. It's not the healthiest thing in the world, I know, but at the same time a little won't do you any harm! In fact, enjoying one of these cookies will only leave you feeling happy and satisfied, which no doubt is good for your health! You know you really [...]

Vegan & Gluten-free Afternoon Tea

Vegan & Gluten-free Afternoon Tea

Vegan & Gluten-free Afternoon Tea If you're looking for a vegan & gluten-free afternoon tea, you've come to the right place! One of my favourite things ever is going to afternoon tea. There is something so special about sharing sandwiches, scones and little, bite sized desserts with loved ones. The husband and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary with a spot of afternoon tea. If you know me, you'll know I love nothing more than cakes and sweet treats. I used to be known for glancing at the dessert menu before looking at anything else when at a restaurant. I just have such a sweet tooth. I also love bread and anything baked, so you can imagine why I love afternoon tea so [...]

Protein Cookie Dough Cups (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Protein Cookie Dough Cups (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Protein Cookie Dough Cups (Vegan & Gluten-free) My current cookie dough obsession continues! I recently posted these cookie dough bars and they seemed to go down a treat with you guys, so I decided to go back to the kitchen and whip up another cookie dough creation for you. This time with added protein :D I try to make sure I consume enough protein throughout the day, which can sometimes be a struggle when trying to avoid meat and animal products. I ALWAYS add protein powder to my breakfast, whether that be in my smoothies, nicecream, overnight oats, porridge or chia pudding. I get the most awful blood sugar crashes between breakfast and lunch and need protein to help keep my blood sugar levels steady. Vegan [...]

Vegan Caramel Magnum

Vegan Caramel Magnum

Vegan Caramel Magnum If this UK heat isn't a good excuse to make my own homemade version of Magnums, then I don't know what is! Not that I need an excuse to make any form of ice cream. I welcome ice cream any time of the year, but I definitely crave it a lot more when it's scorching hot. So hot that even having a fan facing me at all time doesn't really do much to stop the sweating. I posted a picture of these vegan caramel Magnums on my Instagram page yesterday as a teaser and I received such an amazing response, so I just had to post them ASAP. As someone commented "it would be rude not to [...]

Speedy Avocado Pizza (Vegan & Gluten-free) This avocado pizza is perfect for those evenings when you come home after a long tiring day and just want to throw together something quick, easy and tasty. You'll only need a handful of ingredients. I actually used a shop bought gluten-free pizza base, which you should be able to find in most big supermarkets. It just means you don't have to faff about making a base when you're in a hurry or simply don't have the energy to make one from scratch. If you prefer you can make one of my chickpea pizza bases. It's also really quick and easy to make. You can have it ready in 15 minutes, which is not [...]
