Mocha Buckwheat Pudding (Vegan | GF | High Protein)

Delicious, super smooth and chocolaty - this mocha buckwheat pudding can be enjoyed for breakfast, as a snack or a healthy dessert! Breakfast is my most favourite meal of the day by far! I've said it before and I'll say it again, if I could I would eat breakfast foods for breakfast, lunch AND dinner. I wake up looking forward to it, so I wanted to share with you my current favourite breakfast that's easy to make, balanced and tastes so good. A lot of people seem to struggle with breakfast ideas, especially breakfasts that are healthy with good amounts of protein, fibre and healthy fats. I recently rediscovered buckwheat pudding, which I hadn't had since making this blueberry buckwheat pudding. It's [...]

4-Ingredient Almond Butter Cookies

These 4-ingredient almond butter cookies are not only easy to make, but are also nutritious and taste so good! A great snack to have in your fridge or a healthier dessert to enjoy after meals.  Recipes don't come easier than this - a cookie recipe using only 4 ingredients and requires no baking.

Healthier Fig Rolls (Vegan & GF)

These healthier fig rolls are my current favourite afternoon treat to accompany my cup of tea! They're so easy to make and only call for 7 ingredients. They also happen to be vegan, glute-free and dairy-free.  I started testing a fig roll recipe a couple of years ago and dabbled with it again here and there, but never really finalised a recipe I was happy with. A couple of months ago I had a mad craving for fig rolls, so decided to revisit the recipe and test it a couple more times. I'm now finally happy with a recipe that tastes amazing, but is made with healthier ingredients making it better for you than shop bought fig rolls. I also [...]

Chocolate Pudding Cake (Vegan & Gluten-free)

If you love chocolate treats, you need to try this chocolate pudding cake. It's rich, easy to make and requires no baking. The perfect chocolate dessert for summer! The best way for me to describe this chocolate pudding cake is that it's a mixture between a mousse and jelly - almost like a thick, gelatinous custard that you can set in a cake tin.  This is the perfect dessert to make on warmer days when you fancy something chocolatey, but also want something cold form the fridge to help cool yourself down. With it being no-bake, it also means you don't need to turn the oven on, which is the last thing I want to do on a warm day.  [...]

Vegan Raspberry Pudding (Healthier Dessert)

A beautifully vibrant dessert that's really easy to make and using healthier ingredients. This vegan raspberry pudding is the perfect dessert when you're craving something light, creamy and fruity. Spring is almost here and I couldn't be more excited! I've always been an autumn/winter person, but this winter was different for me. The shorter, colder days really affected me this time around, not sure why. As a result I am glad to see the back of it for now. My body and mind is yearning for longer, brighter and warmer days.  I'm also excited to start making more spring/summer recipes. Lighter chilled treats with brighter colours and fruity notes. This vegan raspberry pudding would be perfect for this Mother's Day. [...]

Healthier Vegan Baklava Cups

Mini cups filled with crunchy nuts - these healthier vegan baklava cups are the perfect light sweet treat! Baklava is probably the one dessert you’ll find served at every celebration in the Middle East or any Arab speaking country. It’s such a decadent dessert - one that is served to show hospitality & generosity. Diamond shaped delights made up of layered crispy phyllo pastry, crunchy nuts flavoured with cinnamon & cardamom all drenched in a rose water + orange blossom infused syrup. Baklava is also the go-to dessert during the holy month of Ramadan as well as during Eid celebrations. They’re usually so hearty/sweet that I can only manage a couple of bites or a really small piece, otherwise it sits heavy [...]

Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bread (Vegan)

*This post is sponsored by Califia Farms* A decadent chocolate peanut butter banana bread - dense, rich and topped with a lush frosting. Dessert heaven right here! Who doesn't love banana bread? I have never come across someone who doesn't like to indulge in a moist, dense slice of banana bread. However, this is no ordinary banana bread. For one, it's a chocolate banana bread, AND it's topped with a decadent peanut butter frosting. It's impossible to say no to a slice with your afternoon cuppa. Banana bread had a serious moment during lockdown. Everyone seemed to be making it apart from me, which is strange seeing as banana bread is my favourite kind of cake. On reflection, I know [...]

Packed with nuts, cranberries and a hint of orange with a layer of dark chocolate to intensify the flavour! I've always loved florentines - they have the most beautiful crunch and a complex flavour from the nuts, spices and chocolate.

All you have to do to make these vegan & gluten-free florentines is to add everything to a pan (apart from the chocolate), heat to combine, shape into cookies and bake! There [...]

Walnut Cranberry & White Chocolate Biscotti

Nothing beats a crunchy biscotti with a cup of tea. These Walnut cranberry & white chocolate biscotti make a lovely lighter treat to enjoy during the festive period. *This post is sponsored by California Walnuts* For me, biscuits and cookies are the king of desserts. I would happily never eat any other dessert for the rest of my life as long as I have access to crunchy biscuits - and they don’t come crunchier than biscotti! I’m teaming up with California Walnuts to bring you an easy & fun festive walnut recipe to help you get Christmas, Cracked. I wanted to put a bit of a fun spin on the traditional biscotti, and make a walnut version to show how [...]
