My boyfriend is ‘bulking’ – which, for those who don’t know what it means, is basically trying to gain mass and muscle. My mission – to make a Chocolate Orange Protein Bread for my boyfriend that he doesn’t feel guilty eating, has a good boost of protein in it and is still a tasty treat. […]

This Vegan Orange and Cranberry Loaf is the ideal Christmas flavour combination in my eyes. I’ve been desperate to get these flavours into something, shortbread, cookies, cakes…but settled on a loaf cos, well, loaves are my fave, end of. Not only have I made this loaf Vegan, but it also uses wholemeal flour, so will […]

Myself and my boy held a coffee morning to raise some cash for MacMillan Cancer Care – I baked lots of BakingBright goodies but had a few Vegan guests and wanted to make something a little different. This Raspberry and Dark Chocolate Spelt Loaf went down an absolute treat! It was actually the most popular […]

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 […]

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 […]

Halloween is fast approaching so I thought a little colourful baking was in order, so here’s my Halloween Marble Loaf. I’ve always loved how satisfied I feel after cutting a slice of marble cake. Like you’ve done something really magical while baking, when actually it’s blooming easy and pretty fail safe. I know it looks […]

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 […]

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 […]

So, we’ve had the indulgent Halloween family treat, now time for some healthy halloween baking but also something that is equally as scrummy. This is a waste not, want not sort of bake. So many of us buy a pumpkin, carve a spooky face and then throw away everything we didn’t use. So here is […]

Happy National Baking Day! I will be very disappointed if you don’t bake SOMETHING today, so as the sun is out in full force, I thought something fruity and summery was in order. Now, this loaf doesn’t taste like the cakey loafs I usually make, as this is made with yogurt instead of butter. It’s […]

  What is the point of a lemon and poppy seed recipe if it isn’t really lemony and has a shed load of poppy seeds? I was fed up with half hearted flavours, so this one suits my taste to a tee, and yours too I hope! My only comment would be to check your […]

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 […]
