I took a last minute holiday the week just gone and found myself abandoning any healthy routine I usually have. I over ate (and drank) and got a bit lazy. I did, however, check my baking account and saw two requests. One for baking healthy on a budget and one for gluten free. Ah ha, […]
'Healthy Alternative' recipes
This ‘Healthy Alternative’ Easter Simnel Traybake is basically Christmas cake for Easter. With a bit less effort. I’ve given up chocolate for lent, so wanted to make something with an Easter vibe that wasn’t covered in it. Don’t get me wrong, as soon as Easter Sunday arrives I’ll be having chocolate for breakfast, lunch and […]
Wholemeal Peanut Butter Cookies
April 4, 2014 by bright-admin - in Cookies, Healthy Alternative
Peanut butter and peanuts. My mums favourite. When I go to get fed and loved by her, usually on a Sunday, I can often see a look in her eye – a look searching for a peanut inspired bake. Preferably something healthy (ish) that she won’t feel too guilty about. So this is my most […]
Healthy Wholemeal Banana Bread (butter and refined sugar free)
March 3, 2014 by bright-admin - in Bread, Free From, Healthy Alternative, Loaf
This is my “lighter” banana bread. I LOVE banana bread but I’ve come to realise that banana bread is a little like marmite. If you hate it, this recipe probably isn’t meant for you, as I’ve even put whole bits of undisguised banana in it (although my banana hating friend has eaten a slice or […]

No butter, can be made dairy free, no refined sugar, wholemeal, oaty goodness how-many-am-I-allowed-to-eat-in-a-day cookies. Or I’ve shortened it to ‘on the go’ cookies. Do you ever get that sinking Sunday evening feeling? You know Monday is going to be one of those busy days, you’ll be on the go till your feet hit the […]
Lemon and Lime Olive Oil Muffins (dairy free)
March 3, 2014 by bright-admin - in Cupcake, Free From, Healthy Alternative, Muffin
I recently invested in a juicer (quite an industrial sized one!) and have been making myself a lovely healthy juice before breakfast every morn (time permitting). Therefore, I’ve been trying out different juice recipes, seeing which ones I like best/are best for me etc etc. Well, I did a bit of a bulk buy on […]
Wholemeal Apple and Cinnamon Breakfast Muffins
March 3, 2014 by bright-admin - in Breakfast, Cupcake, Healthy Alternative, Muffin
I’ve called these ‘breakfast muffins’ but I don’t think I’ve actually eaten them for breakfast yet. They ARE perfect for breakfast though (and other times of the day…) They are wholemeal, can be made dairy free AND have fruit in them. A better breakfast than a croissant methinks! Apple and cinnamon is one of my […]
