Tropical Gluten Free Bircher Muesli
I love me a good bircher muesli or overnight oats and make them frequently, however, I'm aware not everyone tolerates oats so well.
Mocha Peanut 'Pick-me-up' Bars
Here's one for the grown-ups! For all those who need a little pick-me-up during the day, this one is for you!I adore anything that incorporates my two favorite things; chocolate and coffee. This bar take it even further and adds in some peanuts for a nutty flavor too!
Chocolate Chunk Chickpea Cookies
I'm forever on the lookout for a good chocolate chip cookie recipe. These cookies, however, are the kind that are soft and chewy, equally as delicious and you guessed it, use a humble can of chickpeas!
Chocolate, Pear & Buckwheat Muffins
I love a good muffin as much as the other gal, but one I know is giving me some nourishment, as well as some mouth pleasing pleasure, is an added bonus.Naturally gluten-free and higher in fibre and protein than regular flour, buckwheat flour has a beautiful nutty flavor that pairs so well with chocolate.
Salted Peanut Butter Cups
My best friend growing up was originally from the US, so I was introduced to American candy early! When my family moved cities, I missed my supply of Reese's Pieces Peanut Butter Cups and Peanut Butter M&M's (and my friend too of course!). Nowadays, these chocolate candies are way too sweet for my taste buds, however, this version you CAN enjoy in moderation, without the trans fats and refined sugar.
Berry & Nut Butter Baked Oats
Baked oats are delicious as a quick breakfast, as a snack or even in the lunch box! Baked oats results in a lovely spongy texture and it's easy to adapt it with your favourite fruits and spices.
Carrot Cake Loaf
Carrot cake has always a favourite of mine, but traditional carrot cake recipes are usually full of oil and packed full of refined sugar.This delicious gluten-free loaf, however, is packed full of goodness and flavor, with zero vegetable oil or refined sweetener!I've made this for friends and it has always got the thumbs up!
Chocolate Peanut Protein Fudge Bites
I whipped up these protein-packed bites using NuZest Chocolate Clean Lean protein powder, but you can use any kind of protein powder you like.As you can see, my chocolate coating skills leave a lot to be desired, and I've since had recommended to insert a toothpick and roll the bite in the chocolate to get an even coverage all around. Try that and let me know how you go.
Hazelnut Jaffa Bliss Balls
Anyone else love a chocolate and orange combination?These have got to be two of my flavours together, and these sugar-free, dairy free and grain free little bites of amazingness are even better than store-bought Jaffa's or Terry's Orange Chocolate in my opinion.
Easy Single Serve Oatmeal Pancakes with Stewed Cinnamon Apples
Looking for a nourishing pancake with minimal ingredients and no added sugar? Look no further than these simple single serve oatmeal pancakes.They're so easy to make it's a bit crazy and you're sure to have all the ingredients in your pantry already.Delicious right out of the fry pan with banana and nut butter or as shown with stewed apple and cacao nibs. They're also fabulous cold with some nut butter and chia jam.
Pesto Croquettes
Who doesn't love a hot croquette? Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, just delicious.Traditional potato croquettes are deep-fried, stuffed with breadcrumbs and in my opinion, somewhat bland by themselves.I give you the pesto croquette! Is there anything that pesto does not make taste better? I think not.I used my go-to vegan cashew pesto recipe for these, but you can use whatever pesto recipe you like, or heck, buy the pesto (just be careful to source a pesto made with olive oil, not canola).
