Vegan Strawberry Custard Tarts

Vegan Strawberry Custard Tarts

Mini puff pastry tarts topped with fruity jam, creamy custard and fresh strawberries. What's not to love? These vegan strawberry custard tarts are the perfect way to celebrate summer! Custard is a classic English dessert, one that's used to accompany so many treats like a crumble, pudding or cake. It's also an essential part or the British trifle. Although it's usually used to drizzle over puddings, I honestly think custard is a strong enough contender to stand as a main dessert in its own right. I would happily curl up on the sofa with a bowl of (warm or cold, depending on the season) plain custard. I would even go so far as to say I'd probably pick a bowl [...]

Vegan Quorn Crunchy Strips Nachos

Vegan Quorn Crunchy Strips Nachos

*This post is sponsored by Quorn* Mouth-watering nachos layered with Quorn Crunchy Strips, salsa, guacamole and vegan cheese. Super easy to make and perfect for a speedy healthier ‘fakeaway’. I’m not going to lie, I am partial to a takeaway. My partner and I sometimes order in on a Friday evening and it’s something we both look forward to from time to time, particularly if it’s been a stressful week. I’m the one who usually prepares meals and as a food blogger who spends most of my days thinking about recipes, testing recipes and creating recipes for content, I like to give myself the day off cooking on Friday nights. It’s always nice to have someone cook for me for [...]

Protein Vegan Skillet Brownie

Protein Vegan Skillet Brownie

A delicious brownie that tastes like a decadent treat, but made with better for you ingredients! As well as using ingredients like oats, nut/seed butters, I also love using protein powder in desserts to improve the nutrient content and make it healthier. It's also an easy way to add extra flavour and sweetness without adding extra sugar. This protein vegan skillet is the perfect comforting dessert to warm you up on cold days. There's nothing more comforting than a warm, gooey, chocolatey treat to lift your mood when the weather is getting you down and you're in desperate need for some cheering up. It's also perfect for sharing. I'd say it serves 4 people, but of course depending on your [...]

Blended Matcha Overnight Oats

Blended Matcha Overnight Oats

*This post is Sponsored by Very* January is widely considered to be the wellness month of the year. From setting New Years resolutions, following ‘cleanse’ diets, cutting out booze for dry January or setting a goal to eat less animal products for Veganuary. So many of us embark on a mission to improve our health, well-being and start the year the right way. The only problem is, for many, once January is over it’s more difficult to keep the momentum going. ‘Wellness fatigue’ kicks in and sticking to a healthy lifestyle becomes more difficult, tedious and seems to require a lot more effort. You’ve probably heard the phrase ‘it’s not a diet, it’s a lifestyle’ a lot, but it’s true! [...]

Coconut Caramel Bars

Coconut Caramel Bars

A delicious sweet treat that's super easy to make, these coconut caramel bars are the perfect post meal treat! Have you seen the new Celebrations Christmas advert? You know, the one where the bounty bar is lonely and no one loves him. It's become a running joke that the humble Bounty bar is the one chocolate left untouched every Christmas when the Celebration box comes out. What?? Is it just me that ALWAYS picks a bounty before any of the other Celebrations chocs? I'd be happy with a box full of bounty bars and nothing else. Actually, my partner is the same as me. Bounty is his favourite, so neither of us can understand why they're so unloved! I love [...]

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 [...]

Festive Chocolate Orange Scones Vegan & Gluten-free

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 [...]

The raspberries along with the lemon give these bars a zingy, tart flavour that makes them feel so refreshing and summery.
