My brother wanted ‘anything with peanut butter’ as a birthday bake, so I went with these Peanut Butter and Banana Oat Slices. They are easy to transport to him, tasty and secretly vegan. He had no idea they were vegan, obviously, LOL. I really like these as they are quick, simple and full of goodness […]

These Gluten and Dairy Free Raspberry and Chocolate Brownie Slices were absolutely ideal for my hen party season! It’s wedding wedding wedding prep over at my household at the moment. Not mine, I should add, but lots of my friends have decided this is the year to tie the knot and therefore hen party preparations […]
Vegan Chocolate Orange Granola

I have no qualms in expressing my LOVE for granola. I’d have it for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks if I allowed myself to. I’ve made this Vegan Chocolate Orange Granola to satisfy my needs but also my purse. Good quality vegan granola can be an absolute fortune, which I think is usually unnecessary. You […]

January 1, 2017 by bright-admin - in Bites, Breakfast, Free From, Gluten Free, Healthy Alternative, Traybake, Vegan
Yep, you read that correctly, Vegan Banana & Walnut CHICKPEA Slices. These are grain free, I used chickpeas instead of flour and syrup instead of refined sugar. These are THE ONE. I’ve fallen into a Vegan diet, I was just going to do it one day a week, but then I watched lots of videos […]

A friend of mine has recently gone dairy free and to prove you can still have delicious moist cake for your birthday without the belly ache, I made him these Dairy Free Chocolate Orange Brownies. Cakey, moist, subtle and moreish. Dairy Free just got interesting… Ingredients for Dairy Free Chocolate Orange Brownies 120g plain flour […]
Banana, Date & Dark Chocolate Chip Squares
September 9, 2016 by bright-admin - in Bites, Breakfast, Fitness Fuel, Free From, Gluten Free, Healthy Alternative, Traybake, Vegan
I’ve been on set filming for almost a month and as much as I love to indulge in a biscuit or five the novelty is beginning to wear off, not only for me but for the majority of the cast and crew too. Filming life is not known for eating well or healthily…. So, I […]
Raspberry and Honey Oat Bars
August 8, 2016 by bright-admin - in Bites, Breakfast, Fitness Fuel, Free From, Gluten Free, Healthy Alternative, Traybake, Vegan
I’ve got a freezer full of frozen raspberries and a hungry boyfriend who is allergic to nuts. Why not combine the two? (not literally of course!) These Raspberry and Honey Oat Bars are simple, quick, cheap, gluten free, dairy free and a healthy alternative to a shop bought variant. Swap the honey for maple or […]
Chocolate Bar Shortbread
June 6, 2016 by bright-admin - in Biscuit, Bites, Indulgent, Traybake
This is my extra thick, extra naughty, Chocolate Bar Shortbread recipe. Need I say more? (…I will…) Yesterday went a bit like this: I have an unrequited love for shortbread, a classic that is often overlooked. I also have a jar of chocolate bars that are burning a hole in my cupboard. Time to combine […]

These Chocolate Chia Protein Brownies are a tasty, healthy alternative brownie. Something to really look forward to after a sesh at the gym or after a pumped up game (or even just after ‘one of those days….’). They will keep you full, satisfy that sweet craving and are totally non-guilty. Full of all the healthy […]
Vegan Choco Krispies
April 4, 2016 by bright-admin - in Bites, Brownie, Dessert, Free From, Gluten Free, Healthy Alternative, Indulgent, Traybake, Vegan
Usually my baking creations are invented because of an impending event or request, but these Vegan Choco Krispies were born out of lust. A purely selfish bake – I wanted chocolate, I wanted coconut oil, I wanted something crunchy but fudgey and I didn’t want to feel too bad about eating it (so hopefully you […]
Simple Honey and Cinnamon Flapjack
November 11, 2015 by bright-admin - in Biscuit, Free From, Gluten Free, Healthy Alternative, Traybake
I’m on tour with a play at the moment and I am travelling to different parts of the UK every week. It’s quite a gruelling schedule – Poole to Blackpool, Exeter to Liverpool. Living out of a suitcase is definitely not for the faint hearted. I can’t travel much ‘stuff’, including food, as I’m not […]
SuperFood Crumble Bars – Vegan/Gluten Free
October 10, 2015 by bright-admin - in Bites, Breakfast, Free From, Gluten Free, Healthy Alternative, Traybake
I’ve been away on a UK tour of a show, hence a few less posts than normal, and I’ve been so eager to bake! I am back for a week and wanted to make something that I could take away with me as a bit of an energy lift during the interval of the show. […]
Coffee & Chocolate Mini Loaves
September 9, 2015 by bright-admin - in Bites, Cake, Indulgent, Loaf, Traybake
My boyfriend’s Dad, Ian, is a coffee fiend…and I don’t think he would mind me saying that. So trips back to see his parents in Milton Keynes often inspire some baking. Therefore these, Coffee & Chocolate Mini Loaves, are for Ian. The man who helps with my blog, assists me in anything technical and plies […]
Nutty Fridge Bars
July 7, 2015 by bright-admin - in Bites, Fitness Fuel, Free From, Gluten Free, Healthy Alternative, Traybake, Vegan
It’s just TOO hot to bake, but I want a nutritious and cooling snack. I got my thinking cap on and so here are my Nutty Fridge Bars – they live in the fridge to keep them fresh and cool and are sort of like a sticky version of a granola bar. Gluten Free and […]
Rocky Road (with all the bad stuff)
June 6, 2015 by bright-admin - in Biscuit, Bites, Dessert, Indulgent, Traybake
I’m off to my friend, Will’s, BBQ and I refuse to go empty handed but I also don’t have much time. These rocky road bars are simple, quick and a massive crowd pleaser. Will is a chocolate fiend, if he’s having a chocolate treat he is having a CHOCOLATE treat. There’s no time for nuts […]
