No-bake Chocolate Oat Cookies

No-bake Chocolate Oat Cookies Delicious and satisfying chocolate cookies that are healthier than your average cookie and require no baking. No-bake recipes are my favourite kind of recipes.

Vegan Chocolate Fudge Cake

Vegan Chocolate Fudge Cake

(AD) I can’t think of anything better than a decadent piece of cake to get me through a long and stressful week. If you’re looking for a yummy, sweet treat that’s completely plant-based, you NEED this vegan chocolate fudge cake! I don’t often eat cake, but when I do it has to be homemade. I’ve always found homemade to be so much more delicious with a better texture. Shop bought cakes can so easily be dry and far too sweet with not much else in terms of flavour. I usually make a cake when I have people coming over, but the restrictions that we all faced over the last year and a half changed all that. All of a sudden [...]

Vegan Tofu Patties

Vegan Tofu Patties

Delicious patties that are packed with protein - these vegan tofu patties are really easy to make and are so tasty! You can enjoy them for lunch, dinner or even as a healthy snack. I love using tofu in recipes. It's so versatile and can be used in so many ways. The one I see the most is chopped into cubes and fried, but I find crumbling a block into a fine mince or blending it with other ingredients works best in terms of both texture and taste. These patties have become my new favourite way of using tofu. It's so easy, all you have to do is blend everything together, shape, then fry them for a few minutes. You [...]

Vegan Gluten-free Matcha Pistachio Butter Cookies

Vegan Gluten-free Matcha Pistachio Butter Cookies

Deliciously light and so pretty, these matcha pistachio butter cookies are the perfect treat to enjoy this New Year's Eve! I've taken a simple butter cookie recipe and made it both vegan AND gluten-free. Although I used oats instead of flour, it's not the healthiest dessert I've ever made as there is a lot of dairy-free butter in there and I used icing sugar to sweeten. However, it's New Year's Eve in a couple of days and if we can't enjoy an indulgent treat now, then when can we? Right? I dipped them in matcha white chocolate (I made my own by mixing matcha powder in melted white chocolate) and topped them with chopped pistachios to make them even fancier, [...]

A delicious chocolate sponge with a buttercream filling and a decadent ganache topping – what’s not to love?
