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 […]

Coffee and Chocolate Chip Shortbread
February 2, 2017 by bright-admin - in Biscuit, Bites, Indulgent
Another birthday, another baking present….I am SO predictable! This time for coffee addict, Ian. I wanted to make something that I could easily transport over London and then on trains, so instead of a creamy cake, I thought biscuits were the way to go. I am also a sucker for shortbread ANYTHING, so thought why […]
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.

All Nut Spelt Cookies
November 11, 2016 by bright-admin - in Biscuit, Bites, Cookies
Every time I see my mum she asks me to make her my peanut cookies. I love that she loves them, but also, it’s a little boring. REALLY?? OUT OF EVERYTHING I EVER MAKE? THOSE AGAIN? Please excuse the shouting. I tentatively decided to mix it up a little, but keep it in the same […]
Earl Grey ShortBread
November 11, 2016 by bright-admin - in Biscuit, Cookies
With the weather turning wintery, the scarves making their first appearance of the year and the radiators getting warmer by the day its not hard to believe I’m starting to feel very snuggly.

November 11, 2016 by bright-admin - in Cake, Dessert, Free From, Gluten Free, Halloween

After an incredible time filming, it’s time to get back to the gym for myself and my boyfriend.

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 […]

I’ve recently finished watching Breaking Bad (yes, I’m very late to the party, but so glad I FINALLY got round to watching it!) and if you’ve seen it, you’ve probably got a good idea where this Bacon, Banana and Maple Loaf post has come from. For those who haven’t seen it, or saw it so […]

Purple Fruit Loaves
July 7, 2016 by bright-admin - in Bites, Cake, Free From, Gluten Free, Loaf
This gorgeous weather has me craving berries, and the shops are full of the purple variety (blueberries/blackberries etc…) so, I thought I’d stick them in a bake and simply call them ‘Purple Fruit Loaves’. This is a gluten free recipe, but if you aren’t gluten free, you can substitute the gluten free oats and flour […]

Vegan Snap Cookies
July 7, 2016 by bright-admin - in Biscuit, Bites, Free From, Gluten Free, Vegan
I’m not ashamed to admit that these Vegan Snap Cookies were made completely by accident. I was trying out a different vegan bake (which will be up soon) and realised I had the wrong consistency of ingredients. I desperately didn’t want to waste anything I had used, so turned them into these chocolate dipped moreish […]
Olive and Feta Muffins
June 6, 2016 by bright-admin - in Breakfast, Cupcake, Indulgent, Muffin
Father’s day has just passed and I asked my Dad what he wanted me to bake him. In my head, I had a fruity loaf, a decadent chocolate dessert or a moreish batch of cookies. How wrong I was – he said something with ‘cheese’. Oh. Right. Way to ruin my flow, Dad. I quickly […]

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?

Time to combine […]
Apple and Almond Quinoa Porridge

May 5, 2016 by bright-admin - in Cupcake, Dessert, Indulgent, Muffin, Valentines

My first week back from my 9 month tour and I’m back in my own kitchen. *Cue happy sigh* To get back into the ‘baking swing of things’, I (finally) decided on this Carrot, Ginger and Nut Loaf – Gluten Free. Why I hear you say? Loaves. Loaves are my favourite, favourite, favourite thing to […]
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 […]
Homemade HobNobs
April 4, 2016 by bright-admin - in Biscuit, Bites, Cookies, Indulgent
I absolutely LOVE HobNobs. That’s the only reason I really needed to make my very own Homemade Hobnobs. There was one other reason though, I was seeing the boyfriends extended family and wanted to bake something as a little treat. I don’t really know them terribly well, so wanted something that would a) suit all […]
Gluten Free Raspberry and Walnut Cake

The longer, slightly warmer days have got me all ‘Spring-like’ so I thought it time for a Spring inspired bake – My Gluten Free Raspberry and Walnut Cake with a cheeky lemon drizzle. I’m back off tour for a week and wanted to make something that I could share around. My Dad was popping over […]

Chocolate Orange Cake
March 3, 2016 by bright-admin - in Cake, Dessert, Indulgent
IT’S EASTER – and what better excuse do you need to make this delicious Chocolate Orange Cake.

So here it is, simple as that – My Chocolate Orange Reward Cake. Ingredients for Chocolate […]
Chocolate Guinness Muffins
March 3, 2016 by bright-admin - in Cupcake, Dessert, Indulgent, Muffin
These Chocolate Guinness Muffins were created with St Patricks Day in mind. I’ve got my brothers girlfriend, Mari, over for a ‘cake date’ and seeing as it’s St Patricks Day this week, what better excuse than to add a little tipple into the bake. The Guinness gives these muffins a really luscious, dark, moist depth, […]
Pistachio Power Balls
March 3, 2016 by bright-admin - in Bites, Breakfast, Fitness Fuel, Free From, Gluten Free, Healthy Alternative, Vegan

One of my fellow cast members on the tour I am on calls me a little rabbit – always in the corner munching on something (leave your dirty jokes at the door please…!). ‘Healthy’ snacking can be challenging sometimes, so here is where my Pistachio Power Balls come into fruition. These are […]
Double Chocolate Protein Cookies
March 3, 2016 by bright-admin - in Biscuit, Cookies, Fitness Fuel
Double Chocolate PROTEIN cookies??? Why the extra protein I hear you ask? I’ve decided to venture out of my comfort zone at the gym – which would have usually consisted of a lot of running – and I have started to lift some weights. Apparently Daisy Ridley (of Star Wars fame) can deadlift 75kg…so that’s […]
Soft & Chewy American Style Cookies
February 2, 2016 by bright-admin - in Biscuit, Cookies, Indulgent
Other than a massive craving for Soft & Chewy American Style Cookies, there is no other reason for this post. I had a week off tour, had constantly passed ‘Millie’s Cookies’ stands and resisted temptation and so fancied a treat after some hard work. I have to say, one of my favourite cookie recipes to […]
Tropical Fruit Loaf – Dairy Free
February 2, 2016 by bright-admin - in Bread, Breakfast, Free From, Loaf

Mini Victoria Sponge Cakes
February 2, 2016 by bright-admin - in Bites, Cake, Cupcake, Dessert, Indulgent, Valentines
It’s still feeling summer-y and it’s also my Grandad’s birthday. My Grandad is notoriously picky when it comes to food, he likes simple flavours and nothing too far from the ‘ordinary’. My vegan/gluten/nut free coconut and lime energy balls would not be up his street, but who doesn’t like a classic Victoria sponge? To be […]

Wholemeal and Spelt Gingerbread Men
December 12, 2015 by bright-admin - in Biscuit, Bites, Christmas, Healthy Alternative, Indulgent
It would NOT be Christmas without Gingerbread. Fact. As I (..and my family and other half) get through a ton of them, I wanted to make them with a slightly ‘healthier’ twist. So were born my Wholemeal and Spelt Gingerbread Men. If I’m being really honest, I can promise you I don’t think you can […]
Cheese and Marmite Muffins
November 11, 2015 by bright-admin - in Bites, Breakfast, Christmas, Indulgent, Muffin
I’ve recently become a MARMITE SPECIAL ADVISOR (yep, real thing!). Which basically means I love Marmite so much and want to tell the world about it. The Marmite company (or I like to think of them more like family) have become aware of this and sent me some, guess what, Marmite, hence my new creation […]

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 […]

Yep. You read that right. Toffee Crisp Cookies. Hell yeah. These crispy joys of deliciousness came into existence as part of a family treat.

I’ve been to Thailand since my last post (…I know, lucky me!) and while I was away, coconut was pretty much a staple food in all meals – hence my slightly more exotic Coconut & Lime Energy Balls. Those of you who are regular visitors to my blog will already know of my love for […]

Yet another birthday got me baking, this time my Dad.

He’s not one for a big chocolate mess or a creamy vanilla bomb, […]
Jaffa Muffins
April 4, 2015 by bright-admin - in Bites, Cupcake, Indulgent, Muffin
One of my favourite childhood treats were Jaffa Cakes. I say childhood treat, my adulthood enjoys them too. So, I thought I’d do a variation and make some Jaffa muffins. It was also my brothers birthday last week and I didn’t have a moment to bake something for the day, so these are also know […]

Chocolate and Peanut Butter Cake
March 3, 2015 by bright-admin - in Cake, Indulgent
My little brother, Tom, recently moved into a new flat. Instead of the traditional plant pot, I thought I’d bake him a house warming gift.

Half Term HobNobs – Wholemeal
February 2, 2015 by bright-admin - in Biscuit, Bites, Cookies

February 2, 2015 by bright-admin - in Dessert, Healthy Alternative, Valentines
This Valentine’s Day Slimline Dessert is not only kind to your strict diet plan but also to your bank balance. I am a massive advocate of ‘cheat days’ – a little of what you love is ALWAYS good for you – but when dessert can taste this good and not count as a ‘cheat day’ […]
Valentine’s Day Cupcakes
