With the weather turning wintery, the scarves making their first appearance of the year and the radiators getting warmer by the day its not hard to believe I’m starting to feel very snuggly. Tea and biscuits are my happy place, so I thought I’d make a little twist on one of my all time favourite […]

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 […]

A friend of mine has recently gone dairy free and to prove you can still have delicious moist cake for your birthday without the belly ache, I made him these Dairy Free Chocolate Orange Brownies. Cakey, moist, subtle and moreish. Dairy Free just got interesting… Ingredients for Dairy Free Chocolate Orange Brownies 120g plain flour […]

Sitting on my balcony in the May sunshine brought only one thing to mind – what bake would I like to stuff my face with right now? Strawberry Cream Cheese Muffins were the answer. Many people are put off with baking at all in the heat, but these aren’t in the oven for long and […]

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 […]

The longer, slightly warmer days have got me all ‘Spring-like’ so I thought it time for a Spring inspired bake – My Gluten Free Raspberry and Walnut Cake with a cheeky lemon drizzle. I’m back off tour for a week and wanted to make something that I could share around. My Dad was popping over […]

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, […]

Myself and my other half have given up a few indulgent treats for Lent, so I wanted to make something that will satisfy our sweet tooth, but, also something that we would actually look forward to eating too! I asked him what sort of flavours he wanted and viola – so was created the Tropical […]

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). […]

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 […]

It always puts a smile on my face when I see Christmas themed snacks and desserts and this is where my Christmas Tree Meringues have come from. I’m not particularly great at the decoration side of baking but still wanted that smile factor. This is something all of us can make whatever your skill level. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
