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. […]

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 […]

I’ve recently finished watching Breaking Bad (yes, I’m very late to the party, but so glad I FINALLY got round to watching it!) and if you’ve seen it, you’ve probably got a good idea where this Bacon, Banana and Maple Loaf post has come from. For those who haven’t seen it, or saw it so […]

These past few weeks I’ve been doing a lot of ‘visiting’. I’m back from my theatre tour and I’ve been trying to catch up with as many people as I can. I wanted to bring some baking treats with me, making the reunion even sweeter ;) and muffins seem to be the easiest thing to […]

This is my extra thick, extra naughty, Chocolate Bar Shortbread recipe. Need I say more? (…I will…) Yesterday went a bit like this: I have an unrequited love for shortbread, a classic that is often overlooked. I also have a jar of chocolate bars that are burning a hole in my cupboard. Time to combine […]

Usually my baking creations are invented because of an impending event or request, but these Vegan Choco Krispies were born out of lust. A purely selfish bake – I wanted chocolate, I wanted coconut oil, I wanted something crunchy but fudgey and I didn’t want to feel too bad about eating it (so hopefully you […]

These Chocolate Guinness Muffins were created with St Patricks Day in mind. I’ve got my brothers girlfriend, Mari, over for a ‘cake date’ and seeing as it’s St Patricks Day this week, what better excuse than to add a little tipple into the bake. The Guinness gives these muffins a really luscious, dark, moist depth, […]

Other than a massive craving for Soft & Chewy American Style Cookies, there is no other reason for this post. I had a week off tour, had constantly passed ‘Millie’s Cookies’ stands and resisted temptation and so fancied a treat after some hard work. I have to say, one of my favourite cookie recipes to […]

So many people seem to be trying out a vegan diet for January so I thought I’d make something that was a tasty treat for those who may be struggling a little. This Vegan Fig and Dark Chocolate Loaf is a perfect tea time snack or dessert (I served it with some vegan coconut yogurt). […]

I’ve recently become a MARMITE SPECIAL ADVISOR (yep, real thing!). Which basically means I love Marmite so much and want to tell the world about it. The Marmite company (or I like to think of them more like family) have become aware of this and sent me some, guess what, Marmite, hence my new creation […]

It’s still feeling summer-y and it’s also my Grandad’s birthday. My Grandad is notoriously picky when it comes to food, he likes simple flavours and nothing too far from the ‘ordinary’. My vegan/gluten/nut free coconut and lime energy balls would not be up his street, but who doesn’t like a classic Victoria sponge? To be […]

I asked my Dad what he would like me to bake in the lead up to Christmas and he promptly answered SCONES. I’ve made scones before (Wholemeal Christmas Spice Scones – Mini Strawberry Scones) but he said he wanted the classic fluffy sultana scone with a twist. I thought alcohol was the answer to this […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
