Chai Spiced Porridge
Autumn is here and it's time to bring out the festive spices. Cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger and of course not forgetting my favourite spice of all...cardamom!!
Raw Banana Cheesecake
You can't beat a good BANANA flavoured dessert, especially when that dessert is a CHEESECAKE! I don't think I've ever had a banana cheesecake before but I had no doubt banana would go well with cheesecake.
Kleicha – Date Cookies (كليجة)
Last year I made a healthier version of my favourite cookies - Kleicha (كليجة) which are Iraqi date cookies that are traditionally served on Eid (A religious holiday to celebrate the end of the month of Ramadan where muslims fast from sun rise to sun set for a whole month). Even though I loved the version I made last year, I wanted to outdo myself by making an even better and healthier version!
Banana, Date & Almond Buckwheat Porridge
If you're familiar with the concept of overnight oats, buckwheat porridge is similar but with a slight twist. Buckwheat is one of those ingredients that not may people are familiar with, outside the health community of course! You can now easily get hold of buckwheat as it's available in most supermarkets and online. I've also noticed more and more brands adding it to their granola, muesli and snack bars.
Healthy Tahini Granola
Making homemade granola is easier than you think. The best thing about making your own granola is that you can customise it to your personal taste. If you like it sweet, add more sweetener. If you don't like raisins, leave them out! The second best thing is that you can avoid all those added calories, processed sugars and other unnecessary ingredients! It's a nice feeling knowing exactly what's going into your body and that it's actually doing you some good!
