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, […]

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 […]
‘Better For You’ Muffins – Apple & Cinnamon (Dairy Free, Wholemeal)
January 1, 2015 by bright-admin - in Bites, Breakfast, Cupcake, Free From, Healthy Alternative, Muffin
Oh gosh, it’s not even a week into my healthy January kick and I am CRAVING some kind of treat. Muffins in particular. Healthy Muffins maybe? I can make some healthy (ish) muffins! YES! I won’t feel guilty but I’ll be satisfied. This is the kind of baking I need..and maybe you too? Be strong […]
Christmas Breakfast – Bacon, Egg, Cheese & Spinach Muffins
December 12, 2014 by bright-admin - in Bites, Breakfast, Christmas, Muffin
This year I wanted a special Christmas Breakfast. Usually we are so busy sorting the dinner, opening the presents and guzzling something bubbly that Christmas Breakfast is usually a bit of tea and toast. These muffins can be made in advance and are super tasty, therefore no need to scrimp on any indulgence at breakfast […]
Dairy Free Chocolate Mousse
November 11, 2014 by bright-admin - in Dessert, Free From, Gluten Free, Healthy Alternative
I’m having a dinner party. Quite a late night dinner party and I needed a dessert that was light and easy to digest at what would probably end up being midnight. So here I created the dairy free chocolate mousse. This is VERY chocolate-y. You’ve been warned, but a little goes a looooong way here. […]
‘Feel Better’ Gluten Free Granola (Gluten, Dairy & Refined Sugar Free)
November 11, 2014 by bright-admin - in Free From, Gluten Free, Healthy Alternative
Anyone else often have cereal as dessert?? I absolutely LOVE granola! Morning, noon and night. I’d be happy if this was the only meal I ate for the rest of my life (…maybe a slight exaggeration, this evening I made spicy chorizo burgers and that’s gotta be in my top 5 dinners…) Anyway, granola is […]
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 […]
Chocolate & Coconut Muffins (Gluten & Dairy Free)
June 6, 2014 by bright-admin - in Free From, Healthy Alternative, Muffin
I have an unhealthy obsession with all things “coconut”. So until this love affair ends, of which I hope it never does, I’m afraid you will be bombarded with statements such as, ‘scatter some desiccated coconut on top’, ‘if you have any coconut milk, use that instead’ OR ‘there’s never enough coconut in anyone’s recipes’. […]
Peach and Strawberry Yogurt Loaf (Butter Free)
May 5, 2014 by bright-admin - in Bread, Free From, Loaf
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
