Healthy Cinnamon Rolls

These healthy cinnamon rolls are a lighter version of the much loved classic. The dough is a simple mixture of flour and Greek yoghurt and the centre is sweetened only with whole dates. Packed with flavour, but with less sugar, saturated fats and more protein! There’s a reason cinnamon rolls hold such a cherished place in the world of baked goods. They’re warm, soft, fragrant, and deeply comforting - like a hug in pastry form. But traditional cinnamon rolls also tend to be heavy, rich, and intensely sweet, often leaving me feeling weighed down rather than nourished.

Beet-a-ganoush Dip Recipe

Beet-a-ganoush Dip Recipe If you've been reading my blog for a while you'll know of my never ending love for Hummus. What you may not know is I'm also a huge baba ganoush fan.

Healthified Homemade Nutella (Video)

That's not to say you cannot enjoy it from time to time as part of a balanced diet, but if you want to eat it on a daily basis, why not make you own healthy version that tastes equally as good!

Unsweetened Applesauce Recipe

A few days ago I uploaded a post talking about applesauce, its benefits and its uses, so I thought this would be the perfect time to show you how I make my own homemade unsweetened applesauce. I use applesauce in a lot of my baking and you would be surprised at how easy it is to make at home! Essentially all you need are some apples, water, a peeler and a pan!

Raspberry Chia Jam

Before embarking on my healthy eating journey, I never thought to make my own homemade jam. It just seemed like too much of a faff and when you have endless options at the supermarket, why bother? But how amazing would it be to be able to make your own healthy homemade jam that's sugar free, mostly fruit and takes only 5 minutes to make? Seems to good to be true, right?
