Hummus is something that I eat every single day without fail! I eat it on the side of main meals with salads and cooked vegetables, and it's also one of my go-to snacks. I like to have some peeled chopped carrots in the fridge so when I'm feeling peckish, all I have to do is open the fridge, take out the hummus and carrots and devour! I also like to have it with rice cakes when I run out of carrot sticks and I'm too lazy to peel more!
Have you ever tried making your own tahini? This easy homemade tahini recipe is so simple and you only need 2 ingredients to make it - tahini and oil. The only equipment you need is a food processor and the blending will only take 5 minutes! The results is a super runny and delicious tahini that's better than most jars you buy from the supermarket! If you've followed me for a while, you'll know my deep love and obsession with tahini. It's a big part of my heritage, culture and childhood. We didn't have much growing up. Even snacks were limited, but we always had a jar of tahini in the cupboard. The only snack I remember having was dipping [...]
A super delicious no-bake dessert - these chocolate fudge oat bars are the perfect treat to make on a hot summer day when you're craving something sweet, but don't fancy ice cream. I do love a good no-bake recipe, especially during summer when it's too hot to turn the oven on. The last thing you want to do on a scorching hot day is to add even more heat by turning on the oven. These no-bake chocolate fudge oat bars are the perfect, no fuss, quick and easy treat that takes no time to prepare. Meaning you can spend more time out in the sun taking advantage of the lovely weather while it lasts. Because let's face it, UK isn't [...]
A beautifully vibrant dessert that's really easy to make and using healthier ingredients. This vegan raspberry pudding is the perfect dessert when you're craving something light, creamy and fruity. Spring is almost here and I couldn't be more excited! I've always been an autumn/winter person, but this winter was different for me. The shorter, colder days really affected me this time around, not sure why. As a result I am glad to see the back of it for now. My body and mind is yearning for longer, brighter and warmer days. I'm also excited to start making more spring/summer recipes. Lighter chilled treats with brighter colours and fruity notes. This vegan raspberry pudding would be perfect for this Mother's Day. [...]
Amazing tasting chocolate chip cookies that are gluten free, dairy free, vegan and contain no refined sugars? Yes, such a thing does exist! What makes this healthy chocolate chip cookie recipe even better is that it's so easy and only consists of a handful of ingredients.
A yummy crunchy treat that's so easy anyone and everyone can make it! These 3-ingredient chocolate crunch doughnuts are perfect for when you're craving something sweet, but don't feel like baking or making anything too complicated. This recipe is probably the most popular recipe on my blog to date. I think the reason is that they're so easy and only call for 3 ingredients. They're also really easy to adjust - you can add anything to them and you can shape them however you like. I love using doughnuts mould, but you can use any moulds you have on hand, or even use a cake tin and cut them up into bars/squares. These chocolate crunch doughnuts do remind me of [...]
Hobnobs used to be my guilty pleasure along with chocolate digestive biscuits. I could easily eat half a pack in one sitting. Once I started there was no stopping until I felt sick!
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!
You can probably tell I'm really into both cookies (aka biscuits in the UK) and chocolate! In fact if I had to pick only one dessert/treat that I can eat for the rest of my life, it would be some sort of biscuit dipped or covered in chocolate! I posted these biscuits on my blog a couple of years ago, but I decided to make them again, film them and take new shots since my photography skills have improved somewhat compared to when I first posted the recipe. These peanut butter filled cookies are both vegan and gluten-free. They're also really easy to make! A crunchy biscuit, topped with a simple 2 ingredient peanut butter centre, all dipped in dark [...]
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) [...]
