Chocolate Stars Granola

Chocolate Stars Granola

Chocolate Stars Granola * This post is sponsored by FREEE* If you love cereal and are looking for a bit of a change, try this healthier chocolate stars granola that’s vegan, gluten-free and so moreish! I know you love make-ahead of time breakfasts as much as I do. They really are such time savers and take the hassle out of your morning routine. It’s even more convenient when it’s easy enough to take with you to work if you don’t even have time for a sit-down breakfast. Skipping breakfast is not an option for me. If I don’t have a good filling breakfast in the morning it really plays havoc on my appetite later on in the day, especially late [...]

Vegan Sweet Potato Cakes

Vegan Sweet Potato Cakes

Vegan Sweet Potato Cakes A delicious side to any meal, these vegan sweet potato cakes are yummy and really easy to make. Seeing that my mushroom stuffed potato cakes are one of the most popular recipes on my blog, I thought I'd create another potato cake recipe only this time using sweet potatoes. This humble vegetable is so tasty as it is, but when mashing it with other vegetables and spices, shaping it into cakes and frying it in some coconut oil, they taste that much more amazing! There are two ways of preparing the potatoes in this recipe. You can either boil them until soft, leave to cool and then mash them. Or what I like to do is roast them in the oven with salt, [...]

Chai Chia Pudding

Chai Chia Pudding

Chai Chia Pudding Another super easy and nourishing breakfast that you can prepare ahead of time. This chai chia pudding is perfect if you're taking part in Veganuary or if you're simply trying to eat healthier this month. Even though Christmas is over and we're already half way through the first month of the new year, I'm still craving all the warming and comforting spices. I love chai tea, and I had the idea to create a recipe incorporating tea bags into a recipe instead of using whole or ground spices. Why not? I figured chai tea bags already have just the right combination of flavours making it a much easier way to get the perfect chai flavour into a recipe. Chia [...]

Breakfast Fibre Flake Bars

Breakfast Fibre Flake Bars

Breakfast Fibre Flake Bars * This post is sponsored by FREEE* These breakfast fibre flake bars are perfect to enjoy on busy mornings either before you leave the house, or on-the-go. Are you looking for a fun way to liven up your breakfasts? I wanted a change from my usual smoothies and porridge bowls and felt I was stuck in a breakfast rut. Don't get me wrong, I love my porridge and smoothies, but every now and then I do like to change things up a little. A bit of a crunch is what I've been craving recently. Something crispy and satisfying to bite into! Also, I knew January was going to be a busy month after taking so much time out to [...]

Vegan Gluten-free Mince Pies

Vegan Gluten-free Mince Pies

Vegan Gluten-free Mince Pies This is my first Christmas recipe of the year and I'm kicking it off with a good one - these vegan and gluten-free mince pies! When I think of a Christmas dessert, the first thing that pops into my head is a mince pie. Last year I made these no-bake mince pies and wanted to create a baked version. The beauty of a no-bake treat is it's easier and quicker to make, but I think baked treats always taste better! These vegan gluten-free mince pies are healthier than your average mince pie. Lower in added sugar (only 2 tbsp of maple syrup used in the whole recipe) and saturated fat, but at the same time higher in [...]

Bramley Apple Sweet Potato Sausage Hash

Bramley Apple Sweet Potato Sausage Hash

Bramley Apple Sweet Potato Sausage Hash * This post is sponsored by Great British Apples* This is not your average potato hash recipe, this is a sweet potato hash with the addition of delicious tart apple chunks and veggie sausages as a good source of protein. It’s really quick and easy to put together and you can enjoy it for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The leftovers would also make a really nice side dish to other meals too. If you’re not vegan/plant-based you can go ahead and top it with a couple of fried or poached eggs, although the sausages add more than enough protein to make it a filling and substantial meal as it is. You don’t have to [...]

Tefal ActiFry Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon Sauce

Tefal ActiFry Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon Sauce

Tefal ActiFry Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon Sauce * This post is sponsored by Tefal * A delicious side or snack, this roasted cauliflower with lemon sauce recipe is so easy to make and a good way to add vegetables to any meal. Roasting vegetables is by far my favourite way to cook and eat my five-a-day. It adds so much richness to and flavour to them without having to use many ingredients or flavours. Just a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper is enough to bring any vegetable to life and make them taste 10 times better! Out of all the vegetables, cauliflower is my favourite one to roast (brussel sprouts is a very close second!). I find I can [...]

This no-bake vegan berry cheesecake jars are the perfect fuss-free dinner party dessert! This recipe is perfect for those days when you're craving a cheesecake, but don't want to make a whole cheesecake that serves eight to ten people when you live alone or with a partner and don't have that many mouths to feed. I live on my own so recently I've been turning to single-serve recipes to ensure I don't over eat (which is impossible when I have treats lying around!), but more importantly so nothing goes to waste. Whenever I'm testing recipes, more often than not [...]
