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 […]

Toffee Crisp Cookies
June 6, 2015 by bright-admin - in Biscuit, Cookies, Indulgent
Yep. You read that right. Toffee Crisp Cookies. Hell yeah. These crispy joys of deliciousness came into existence as part of a family treat. We are all headed to a little country cottage for my mums 60th, she loves my wholemeal and peanut butter cookies (click here for the recipe) so I made a ton […]
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 […]
Blackberry & Yogurt Spelt Cake with a White Choc Drizzle
May 5, 2015 by bright-admin - in Cake, Dessert, Indulgent
Yet another birthday got me baking, this time my Dad. This Blackberry & Yogurt Spelt Cake with a White Choc Drizzle isn’t necessarily the first thing one might think of for a birthday, but my Dad always likes something a little different. 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 […]
No Guilt Chocolate & Banana Bread
April 4, 2015 by bright-admin - in Bread, Free From, Gluten Free, Healthy Alternative, Loaf
I love chocolate, I love bananas and I love eating. I also like trying to be ‘healthy’. My cupboards were still full of Easter chocolate treats and I wanted a healthier way to consume them. So was made my Blooming Healthy Chocolate & Banana Bread. I’m all about guilt free treats and this is something […]
Maple Syrup Carrot Cake
April 4, 2015 by bright-admin - in Cake, Indulgent
It was my brother’s girlfriend, Angela’s, birthday and I wanted to make her a cake. I know Carrot Cake is her fave and I thought, what with Easter coming up, it might be quite apt. Not one for being too traditional, I wanted to put a little bit of a spin on it. So was […]
Gluten and Dairy Free Cookies – only 5 ingredients!
April 4, 2015 by bright-admin - in Biscuit, Bites, Breakfast, Free From, Gluten Free, Healthy Alternative
I’ve over indulged. Again. My excuse: I’ve been busy, it was Easter, lots of food on the go, needing a quick sugar fix and no time to bake. The rush has calmed and so I made these SUPER SUPER HEALTHY Gluten and Dairy Free Cookies. I also challenged myself to keep the cost down, so […]
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. When I suggested this to him, without a moments hesitation he said ‘I’d like a Chocolate and Peanut Butter Cake’. This, coming from my bother who takes at least a […]
Vegan and Gluten Free Carrot and Coconut Bites
March 3, 2015 by bright-admin - in Bites, Free From, Gluten Free, Healthy Alternative, Loaf, Traybake, Vegan
I was given a task. A vegan task. A request from Jonno’s (my boyfriend) friend, Gregg. I have been sending Jonno into work with various baking treats, trying to rid my household of what my will power cannot control. I have therefore been, mildly and happily, fattening the West End cast of Shakespeare In Love, […]
Gluten Free Raspberry Swirl Tray Bake
March 3, 2015 by bright-admin - in Bites, Free From, Gluten Free, Traybake
My Gluten Free Raspberry Swirl Tray Bake has been made for all those incredible and wonderful people who are doing a bake sale for RED NOSE DAY, which is on the 13th March. I wanted to make something that was simple, yet a little different, but, most importantly, totally scrumptious so people will come back […]
Half Term HobNobs – Wholemeal
February 2, 2015 by bright-admin - in Biscuit, Bites, Cookies
“Half Term HobNobs” were created because I imagine some of you might like something to bake with the children while it’s half term? These are wholemeal too, so they’re not only a fun little thing to spend an afternoon making, you also don’t have to feel quite so bad when devouring them too. Although these […]
Valentine’s Day Slimline Dessert – Meringue & ‘Cheats’ Cream
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’ […]
Ginger And Maple Syrup Spelt Loaf (Butter free, Reduced Refined Sugar)
January 1, 2015 by bright-admin - in Bread, Breakfast, Dessert, Free From, Healthy Alternative, Loaf
I like bread and I like dessert. I’m also a bit health conscience. So I made this ginger and maple syrup spelt loaf to cater for these three needs. I use a lot of wholemeal flour and came across spelt flour in my local supermarket and thought I’d give it a go. Spelt flour is […]
Blondies With Hot Fudge Sauce (For Bravo)
January 1, 2015 by bright-admin - in Bites, Brownie, Cake, Indulgent, Traybake
I caved. I’ve been so good this January, but I wanted a treat and, I say, if you’re gonna go bad, go really bad. So here are my (really bad but really good) Blondies With Hot Fudge Sauce. In honesty, I added the hot fudge sauce because I had lots of fudge left over from […]
