Vegan Lemon Loaf

A deliciously tangy treat - this vegan lemon loaf is so tasty and tart without being too sweet. The perfect pick me up on cold, grim days. I'm taking a break today from my usual chocolatey desserts to share something fruity for a change. It's been so gloomy and dull in the UK the past few days that I've felt like I needed something to brighten up the day and my mood. Lemon desserts always have that effect on me, so I had to make one today. Loaf cakes are probably my favourite type of cake. They're so dense, moist and satisfying. I'm not a big fan of cakes with cream or frosting, and loaf cakes don't usually come with [...]

Hazelnut Cream Bars

A biscuit base, smooth hazelnut centre all topped with dark chocolate - these hazelnut cream bars are so delicious and dreamy! I made these copycat Kinder Bueno Bars a few weeks ago and they were a massive hit! What I love most about them is that the hazelnut cream centre is literally made up of 2 ingredients only - white chocolate and hazelnut butter! I just love recipes with few ingredients. I wanted to use that 2 ingredient hazelnut cream and incorporate it into another one of my popular recipes - these Biscoff Squares. These hazelnut cream bars are made using healthier ingredients like oats, ground almonds and hazelnut butter. I always try to use less sugar/sweetener in my treats [...]

So today I'm sharing a quick and easy single serving dessert recipe that's baked in [...]

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]
