It’s that time of the year again… Hot Cross Bun time! These fluffy pikelets have the flavours and aroma of hot cross buns… minus the orange peel and dried fruit because I decided to go the chocolate chip route instead.
Cinnamon Roti with Coconut Ganache and Caramelised Banana | My Rotimatic Review!
This recipe is insanely quick and easy to make and just as appropriate for brunch as it is for dessert. The secret to these perfect, flaky cinnamon scented roti is the best kitchen appliance I’ve tried in a long time. It’s an actual AI enabled robot in your kitchen. For real, I’ve had a robot called the Rotimatic cooking with me and it’s my new favourite kitchen appliance.
Tahini Double Chocolate Skillet Brownie
Wow. This is a good one. Fudgey and delicious and best eaten warm straight from the pan. It’s also really quick and easy to make with no fancy equipment needed. It’s the kind of dessert you’ll dream about and it’s gluten free if that’s a thing you need!
Dark Chocolate and Chia Nice Cream Popsicle (Vegan)
These are so simple I’m almost embarrassed to post the recipe. Minimal ingredients but maximum flavour and the perfect thing on hot summer days or to grab for a light and yummy dessert.
Mango and Coconut Icey Poles
Why hello there summer, do I have the perfect accompaniment for you. These icey poles are life and have i fact been saving my life for weeks now. They’re so simple to make and taste amazing. Like a mango Weiss bar but better. Well I think they’re better, and they’re also better for you.
7 Christmas Party Worthy Desserts That Are Also Good For You
I totally get that Christmas is a time of indulgence for all of us and I am by no means suggesting you overhaul your whole Christmas tradition and make it a ‘healthy’ Christmas because Christmas isn’t unhealthy, it’s a time to celebrate with your loved ones and share traditions, gifts and food. It’s not a time to be worrying about calories. Then again I don’t think any day is a day to worry about calories! That said, you can include a few things that are a little lighter to mix things up, lighter but still super delicious and this little collection ticks those boxes big time. From gluten free, to dairy free, to just wholesome there’s something for everyone,
Crispy Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies (Gluten Free)
It’s December so you know what that means: Christmas baking! I like to mix it up with old favourites and healthier takes on old favourites. These crispy gingerbread cookies have a hint of chocolate, lots of spice and are low in both fat and sugar in comparison to a regular cookie. They’re also gluten free if you’re into that sort of thing;)
5 Treats to Cool You Down on a Hot Day
This week has been HOT and I am loving it… mostly! I’m also kind of dying by the time I walk home from work in the afternoon and in need of something super refreshing. So this week instead of new recipes (because to be honest I’ve had so little time in the last fortnight I haven’t been able to do the final test on anything) I’ve put a joyful little list together for my fellow down under peeps. All the healthier treats to stock your freezer with, or make in mere moments on a hot day. Yay!
Chocolate, Coconut and Zucchini Cupcakes With Tahini Caramel Glaze
Oh yeah. These are happening. They’re like a a coconut rough cupcake but with green vegetables in them. Yesss please. Don’t freak out about the vegetable content, it’s there to give texture and zucchini is so mild and slightly sweet so it’s a totally fine thing to put in your baked goods. No more zany than carrot cake. So if you can get around carrot cake, you can get around these.
BLUEBERRY AND GOLDEN FLAXSEED MUFFINS
This recipe makes a mini bathc of muffins, just 6 of these special delicious beauties and there’s good reason for that. They’re best eaten the day you make them. Having one fresh from the oven is pretty much a must as they’re super light and airy. They’re alos amazing as part of a brunch spread if you’re the kind of person who has friends over for breakfast. Those kinds of people are great (note to all friends, have me over for breakfast please).
