Banana Bread Mug Cake

Banana Bread Mug Cake

This banana bread mug cake is a quick, cosy treat that delivers all the comforting flavours of classic banana bread in minutes. Warm, naturally sweet, and made with simple nourishing ingredients, it’s the kind of instant homemade dessert that feels both indulgent and wonderfully practical. We all know what to do when we find a bunch of bananas turns spotty and soft on the kitchen counter - baking a banana bread is the go-to solution to avoid waste. But, what if you spot a single ripe banana sitting on the counter - speckled, soft, and just past the point where you’d happily eat it plain? It’s not enough for a full loaf of banana bread, and you don’t feel like [...]

Vegan Tuna Salad

Vegan Tuna Salad

Now that the weather is warming up and we’re having sunnier days, it seems like the perfect time to share a light and healthy salad that’s still hearty, filling and delicious! We’re all adjusting to life in lockdown which has quickly become the new norm. A lot of us are preparing way more homecooked meals than we’re used to and are on the lookout for ideas and inspirations. One of the worst feelings is when you’re hungry and you can’t think of what to prepare to eat, especially when you’ve already made a meal 4-5 hours ago. As much as I love cooking and experimenting in the kitchen with new methods, techniques and flavours, sometimes all I want to do [...]

Vegan Chocolate Oat Cups

Vegan Chocolate Oat Cups

These vegan chocolate oat cups are the perfect quarantine indulgent sweet treat made with healthier ingredients like oats and tahini! An oaty layer, with a creamy and fudgy chocolatey centre and an oaty topping. I based this recipe on my chocolate tahini oat bars, which is one of the popular recipes on my blog. I think that's down to the fact that they're so easy to make, no-bake and include healthier ingredients that are easy to get hold of. I've changed around the quantities a little, but the main difference is that they're shaped into cups rather than bars. I halved the recipe because I'm in isolation with my partner and didn't want to make the full recipe and risk [...]

Mocha Overnight Oats & Mocha Granola

Mocha Overnight Oats & Mocha Granola

A delicious mocha overnight oats recipe topped with homemade crunchy mocha granola – both made using Rheal’s new Mushroom Coffee. Overnight oats has been my go-to breakfast for years. It’s just so convenient to prepare your breakfast the night before and have it waiting for you the next morning. It’s also a healthy option for breakfast – packed with fibre in the oats and by adding things like nut butters and nuts you can get some healthy fats and protein in there too! I always like to have a jar of homemade granola in my kitchen to enjoy as a quick breakfast or snack when I’m feeling peckish and craving something sweet and crunchy. It’s also nice to have something [...]

Vegan Protein Brownie Batter * This post is sponsored by The Protein Works* A delicious healthier treat that can be enjoyed as a snack or a dessert - this vegan protein brownie batter is so easy to make and super satisfying! Easy, no-bake, mix in the same bowl kind of desserts are my favourite. They take less time to prep and leave you with fewer dishes to wash up later on.

Using a naturally sweetened and flavoured protein powder also means I don't have to use as much sweetener/sugar to make it taste good! I'm using The Protein Works Vegan [...]
