Vegan Chocolate Cherry Tart

Vegan Chocolate Cherry Tart

* This post is sponsored by Whittard* A yummy and decadent tart that's perfect for Veganuary made using only 6 ingredients! A flaky pastry base, a layer of jam all topped off with smooth silky chocolate - truly a combination made in heaven! To enhance the cherry flavour even more, I used some Whittard Chocolate Cherry Brownie Hot Chocolate mix. I love using hot chocolate mix to add extra flavour my desserts. It's such a fun and versatile way to enhance the taste without having to use too many ingredients. Whittard have just released a new limited addition hot chocolate mix in time for Valentine's day. Oh, and it just happens to be vegan! So it's also perfect if you're [...]

Chickpea Cookie Dough Balls

Chickpea Cookie Dough Balls

I'm a huge fan of the idea of adding beans, lentils and pulses into sweet treats. They bump up the fibre, mineral and vitamin content while giving desserts a lovely moist texture. It also means you don't need to add as much flour or even cut it out completely! Beans & pulses are so underrated, under-consumed and unappreciated. They're such an amazing source of nutrients, protein and fibre and yet as a nation we hardly ever eat them! Baked beans are probably the only exception but they come with added salt and sugar and to be fair there is only so much you can do with them. On toast, on baked potatoes or on the side of a fry up. Beans and pulses are [...]

There is no baking required and all you have to do is blend biscuits with butter to make the base, and pour a simple melted chocolate and coconut milk mixture on top and leave in the fridge to [...]

Festive Gingerbread Bundt Cake

Festive Gingerbread Bundt Cake

*This post is sponsored by FREEE* Only a week left before Christmas! If you’re looking for a last-minute festive treat that’s both gluten-free and vegan (and delicious!), then you have to try this festive gingerbread bundt cake! One of the best things about Christmas is all the yummy baked goods. What better excuse to bake than Christmas? And for me, when I think about festive desserts, the first one that comes to mind is gingerbread! Those warming and aromatic spices fill the house with so much festivity and cheer. Typically gingerbread is made in the form of cookies or gingerbread men (I actually shared my take on gingerbread cookies, which you can find here), but I wanted to incorporate it [...]

Festive Orange Cranberry Banana Bread

Festive Orange Cranberry Banana Bread

*This post is sponsored by FREEE* You can’t beat a good slice of banana bread – it never fails to impress, but only when it’s rich, moist and packed with yummy flavours, like this festive orange cranberry banana bread is. Even though I’m a HUGE banana bread fan, I somehow managed not to make one throughout both lockdowns when everyone else was going banana bread mad! I’ve recently been craving a moist slice of sweet banana bread though, so decided to make a festive version seeing that Christmas is only 2 weeks away! ? This banana bread is completely gluten-free and vegan. I used a mixture of FREEE Gluten-Free Plain White Flour and ground almonds to give it that moist [...]

Vegan Caramel Filled Chocolate Cookies

Vegan Caramel Filled Chocolate Cookies

* This post is sponsored by Nature’s Charm* A chocolate cookie with a yummy hidden surprise - These vegan caramel filled chocolate cookies are exactly what you need during this lockdown! We all need a little cheering up. It's bad enough that we're having to spend our days in doors without being able to see friends and loved ones, but this cold and gloomy weather is only making things that much more difficult! I think many of us, myself include, need little pleasures throughout the day. Something to look forward to to make the day a little easier. For me, cookies are the ultimate comfort treat. Especially when paired with a cup of tea. That time on the sofa afternoon [...]

Tahini Cardamom Cookies

Tahini Cardamom Cookies

A crunchy cookie flavoured with cardamom, cinnamon and tahini. I created these tahini cardamom cookies especially for Eid (which is this Sunday/Monday depending on the sighting of the moon). This is the third year in a row where I make a cookie recipe to celebrate Eid. A couple of years ago I made my healthified Kleicha/date cookies recipe (which is probably my favourite recipe on the blog to date!) and last year I made another version of cardamom cookies without the tahini and with a few different variations, but still equally as delicious! I used tahini instead of oil to add lots of goodness and flavour making these tahini cardamom cookies oil-free. They're also vegan (no eggs, milk or butter) [...]

PB&J Chocolate Crunch Doughnuts

PB&J Chocolate Crunch Doughnuts

These PB&J chocolate crunch doughnuts are such a fun recipe that requires few ingredients and are so easy to make! I created these chocolate crunch doughnuts a couple of years ago and they've been a huge hit! I've since seen countless of other influencers recreate it or make something similar, which is nice to see that I inspire people. I wanted to make a PB&J version, because let's face is everyone loves PB&J! I used homemade raspberry chia jam and peanut butter, but really you can use any jam (shop bought or homemade) and any type of nut butter. I also topped them with some crunchy pretzels and dried strawberries to add even more texture and different flavours. PB&J Chocolate [...]

2-Ingredient Chocolate Chickpea Bark

2-Ingredient Chocolate Chickpea Bark

This 2-ingredient chocolate chickpea bark makes a great snack or healthy post meal treat! I have yet another super simple, few ingredient treat for you that's ready in no time and requires minimal effort and washing up to do after. My partner bought me some chocolate chickpeas a couple of weeks ago and that inspired me to make my own at home. It was such a simple concept and I thought it would be so much cheaper to make my own at home and they're really easy to make too. All you have to do is roast the chickpeas in the oven for 35-40 minutes until nice and crunchy, then mix them in chocolate while still hot so they melt [...]
