I'm not sure where you stand in the blondie vs brownie debate, but I for sure am on team brownie. To me, this dessert will always be full of indulgence and seriously moreish, yet delicate in texture and full of goodness. No, I haven’t gone mad, a brownie can, in fact, be full of goodness...

Snickers Energy Truffles
Remember that chocolate bar you loved as a kid, maybe you even remember it as the ‘Marathon’ bar (if you're old enough), sadly your lifestyle choice of becoming plant based, despite all of its delicious benefits, prevents you from enjoying the treat. If, like me, you think the combination of caramel, peanuts and chocolate is... Continue Reading →
Eating Seasonally & Rhubarb Baked Oats (recipe)
We are a privileged generation, we have everything in abundance, from clothing and beauty to food in all its various forms, but because of the array of products we are slowly beginning to suffocate under the pile of waste that accompanies them. I doubt that 2.5 billion years ago in the stone age cavemen popped... Continue Reading →
Coconut Lemon and Chia Cookies
These cookies are a lemon drizzle cake but on speed. I can’t put into words just how satisfyingly soft, zesty and sweet these are, no matter what I say, I will still fail to do these Coconut Chia and Lemon cookies their deserved justice. If you are looking to spring clean your recipes and make... Continue Reading →

Spelt Carrot Cake Muffins (vegan)
Vegetables in sweet treats can be controversial, but you can’t disagree that carrot cake is close to being heavenly. I have incorporated veggies into some other treats before like my Peanut Butter Chickpea Blondies, but there's nothing like going back to a cosy classic. Carrot cake is the most loved tea time cake for its... Continue Reading →
Coconut and Berry Crumble Bars (vegan and gluten-free)
If the thought of warm fruit and oat crumble drowned in custard doesn’t make you drool I’m not sure what will. Crumble is the ultimate childhood pudding; most of us have memories of it served in primary school at lunchtime, or on the weekend at grandmas house, and whatever memories you may have regarding it...

Peanut Butter Chickpea Blondies (vegan, GF and refined sugar-free)
Fudgy. Chewy. Gooey. Hummus has a place in many people’s hearts, whether that is on a warm pita, with carrots or on a sandwich, but chickpeas (the dominant ingredient) not so much. So, when I was munching away at a hummus bagel, I had my light bulb moment; blitz chickpeas (not hummus) into blondies… one... Continue Reading →
