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 […]

There’s nothing quite like the autumnal flavours of a huge toffee apple. I, however, find them stupidly difficult to eat, so I made this Gluten Free Apple Cake with Toffee Frosting for slightly easier consumption and something perfect to share (oh and I reckon tastier…!) Enjoy bakers! Ingredients for Gluten Free Apple Cake with Toffee […]

These Apple and Almond Quinoa Porridge pots were born out of boredom. I LOVE oats, porridge and cereal, but wanted to switch breakfast up a bit. I didn’t want to break too much from the norm, just a slight variation and quinoa seemed to fit! Quinoa is pretty spesh – naturally gluten free, jam packed […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

Right, it’s the new year. Gym membership renewed. Gluten Free Protein Flapjacks made. Myself and my boyfriend, Jonno, are getting back onto a health kick. I’m quite a keen gym-er, as is Jonno, we have to be with the amount of cakes and biscuits that are always floating around our kitchen! For a while I’ve […]

Oh Christmas scones. Beautiful lovely Christmas Scones. If you’re a follower of my blog you might remember how much I love a scone. So as its Christmas, I thought I’d make a ‘Christmas’ scone, but one that I wouldn’t feel so bad eating, hence the wholemeal flour. Although if you’re of the ‘who cares, it’s […]

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 […]

I was asked to make a gluten free carrot cake for a good friends 30th birthday party and combined housewarming. Most of my friends love a good carrot cake, but I wanted to do something a little different and so I made these Gluten Free Carrot & Walnut Trees. Also, I always find that a […]

It was my dad’s birthday and I said I’d bake him anything he wanted, anything at all, this was the result. He actually just said ‘Banana and Walnut’. For a moment I thought of bringing over a bowl of chopped bananas and walnut pieces, then quickly realised that that was only funny in my head […]

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 […]
