2-Ingredient Greek Yoghurt Cheesecake

2-Ingredient Greek Yoghurt Cheesecake

This is my take on the 2-ingredient Greek yoghurt cheesecake that's going viral online and social media at the moment. The concept is basic, but the results are impressive. I don't think it necessarily tastes like a 'cheesecake', but it definitely turns boring plain yoghurt into a delicious snack or even a lighter dessert. Every few years, the internet falls in love with a recipe so simple and so surprising that it feels almost too good to be true. Recently, that recipe has been the “two-ingredient Japanese cheesecake” made with Greek yoghurt and biscuits. No cream cheese, flour, or complicated techniques. Just two everyday ingredients coming together to create something soft, comforting, and oddly luxurious. It’s the kind of food trend [...]

Healthy Brownies Recipe

Healthy Brownies Recipe

So these brownies were kind of an accident. Is it just me or are the best recipes usually the ones that don't go to plan, instead they result in something even better! I was trying to make egg free chocolate cookies, but they didn't turn out exactly the way I planned, so I decided to turn them into brownies instead...and here's the result!

Healthy Cinnamon Rolls

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. For this reason I decided to make a healthier, lighter version. A version that leans on simple ingredients like Greek yoghurt and flour [...]
