Healthy Twix Bars

Healthy Twix Bars

A crunchy biscuit layer topped with a simple caramel filling, all dipped in lush dark chocolate. These healthy Twix bars are my healthier take on the very much loved classic Twix bar. They're so easy to make and taste amazing too! The reason why I love making these healthy Twix bars: Hands up if you love Twix bars 🙋🏻‍♀️ I used to eat them almost everyday during my uni days. They were definitely my go-to sweet treat. Since I started making my own healthier desserts at home, I decided to try to recreate a classic favourite so that everyone can enjoy them. My version is vegan and gluten-free, so a great options for those who can't eat dairy or gluten. [...]

3-Ingredient Chocolate Crunch Doughnuts

3-Ingredient Chocolate Crunch Doughnuts

A yummy crunchy treat that's so easy anyone and everyone can make it! These 3-ingredient chocolate crunch doughnuts are perfect for when you're craving something sweet, but don't feel like baking or making anything too complicated. This recipe is probably the most popular recipe on my blog to date. I think the reason is that they're so easy and only call for 3 ingredients. They're also really easy to adjust - you can add anything to them and you can shape them however you like. I love using doughnuts mould, but you can use any moulds you have on hand, or even use a cake tin and cut them up into bars/squares. These chocolate crunch doughnuts do remind me of [...]

Vegan Cardamom Orange Muffins

Vegan Cardamom Orange Muffins

Light and fluffy muffins that are packed with yummy flavours - these vegan cardamom orange muffins make a lovely light treat to go with your cuppa! Desserts are my favourite kind of recipes to make. I've always had a major sweet tooth. I think it's mainly down to the fact that growing up in a war torn country meant we didn't have the luxury of enjoying treats. So I think now my body wants me to make up for it! The only problem is I have IBS, eczema and anxiety issues, which means yet again I don't have the luxury of eating whatever I want without it having some sort of negative impact on my mind and body. When people [...]

Vegan Chai Chocolate Tart

Vegan Chai Chocolate Tart

This tart is made up of a no-bake chocolate base and a smooth cream filling made up of coconut milk, dairy-free milk and white chocolate. I love using tea and tea bags to flavour desserts.

Vegan Oat Date Cups

Vegan Oat Date Cups

A healthier dessert made with oats and sweetened only with whole dates! These vegan oat date cups are so delicious and easy to make. I grew up eating and loving dates. It's such a big part of Middle Eastern cuisine and culture. It's especially important during the holy month of Ramadan as it's usually how most muslims break their fast. Growing up in Iraq wasn't easy to say the least, and for many reasons I won't go into in this post. We didn't have the luxury of enjoying treats, especially sweet treats as they were seen as non essential. When we did, it would be something my mum would make. She'd bake a cake or cookies every now and then, [...]

Vegan Raspberry Coconut Bars

Vegan Raspberry Coconut Bars

These bars are perfect anytime of the year, but they're a particularly fitting treat for your loved one(s) this Valentine's Day! Even though you can serve any kind of dessert on the day that's also known internationally as the day of love, I do think that something chocolatey with a hint of pink/red just makes it so much more special. You're only making one Valnetine's Day dessert, so why not make event specific to show your special someone how much they mean to you! I do enjoy making heart shaped [...]

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 [...]

Chocolate Tahini Cardamom Squares

Chocolate Tahini Cardamom Squares

Delicious, decadent and fudgy - these chocolate tahini cardamom bars are no-bake, made with healthier ingredients and are packed with aromatic flavours! If you've followed my blog and socials for a while, you'll know all about my love for tahini. I have countless recipes (mainly desserts) where tahini is the star of the show. You'll also know that I'm a self confessed chocoholic, so of course I'm always trying to marry those two ingredients together to make as many yummy treats as possible! I read this quote by Ottolenghi the other day where he said "Tahini is something that runs in the veins of the people in the Middle East” and “It's like olive oil to southern Europe.”. That definitely [...]
