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 [...]

Festive Chocolate Orange Scones Vegan & Gluten-free

*This post is sponsored by FREEE* Is there anything more comforting on a cold, rainy day than a lovely warm homemade scone and a cup of tea? How about a chocolate orange scone? It’s definitely my go to treat for this time of year! These chocolate orange scones are super comforting and they couldn’t be easier to make. I used a mixture of FREEE Gluten Free Self Raising White Flour and oat flour, which I made myself by blending gluten-free oats – try FREEE’s Gluten Free Porridge Oats - into a fine flour in the food processor. The scones are also vegan, but they don’t have to be if you’re not avoiding milk or butter. They can also easily be [...]

Tahini Stuffed Chocolate Covered Dates

Tahini Stuffed Chocolate Covered Dates A simple, yet decadent treat - these tahini stuffed chocolate covered dates are one of the easiest recipes on my blog, and one of my favourites too!  As far as I'm concerned, this is one of the best desserts ever! Really easy to make (very little prep and no baking required) and you don't have to make a big batch, but it's also easy to scale up depending on how many mouths you want to feed. If I'm only making it for myself I would probably make 5-6 so I have just enough to satisfy my sweet tooth after a meal, but I won't be as tempted to over eat. Another plus is that as well [...]

Vegan Gluten-free Blueberry Crumble

Vegan Gluten-free Blueberry Crumble A quick and easy, vegan and gluten blueberry crumble that's guaranteed to warm you up on a cold winter evening! I'm very big on no-bake, chilled desserts. I find them a lot easier to make with less steps and much harder to get wrong. However, when winter kicks in I, like many others, start to crave comforting and warming food, and that applies to desserts too!  I can't think of a dessert more warming and comforting than a crumble ? served warm with a scoop of dairy-free ice cream...can't imagine anything more divine whilst cosied up on the sofa in front of a warm fire - pure joy!  I wanted to create a crumble that's really quick [...]

Butternut Squash Turmeric Ginger Soup

Butternut Squash Turmeric Ginger Soup Now that I’ve embarked on my 30s, it’s crucial for me to look after my body in any way that I can. In my younger days, it was so easy to think I was invincible, like nothing would ever hurt me. I was so used to my body being able to bounce back and recover from pretty much anything. It’s only when I started getting the aches and pains that come as a result of accumulated injuries/physical stress, bad posture and the natural process of aging that I started to consider taking steps to look after myself! Now, that resilience I grew so used to having is fading and I find myself looking for ways [...]

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 [...]

Mushroom Stuffed Potato Cakes

Mushroom Stuffed Potato Cakes Fluffy potato cakes stuffed with a fragrant lemony herby mushroom mixture. These mushroom stuffed potato cakes would make an amazing addition to meals. I made these potato filled cakes around this time last year and they went down a treat with the family. I had it in mind to make this recipe again to share on the blog, but then completely forgot about it! I then made them again a couple of months ago, took the photos, but wasn't 100% happy with the way the shots turned out. Now I've got my act together, made them again and actually took some really decent pictures this time. So now I can finally satisfied with the cakes AND the images. [...]
