Got chocolate and want to make it into a healthier, protein packed dessert with just ONE pantry ingredient? I couldn’t believe how amazingly these turned out, and my kids had no idea they were eating chickpeas!

I love brownies. Like really really love brownies. But from time to time I also really love a blondie too. Chocolate chip of course.
I find peanut butter works so well in a blondie recipe, and wanted to make something fun to use up our Easter eggs, so these were just the ticket.
My kids devoured these, and they’re perfect if you or your kids prefer something a little less intense than a chocolatey dessert. They’re light, sweet and oh so moreish.

Chocolate and raspberry is possibly my favourite flavour combination. Throw in hazelnut and it’s just perfection imo.
I love how these look like a Kinder Bueno bar, and have the classic chocolate hazelnut filling and chocolate coating, but with a healthier, fruity twist!

I used to LOVE Vienetta growing up. We’d have Friday night dinner at my grandparents, and then my grandma would wheel in her dessert trolley, and there would always be some sort of pie or crumble, a fruit salad and Vienetta. I still remember that lovely crack sound as it was cut and the knife cut through those wafer thin layers of chocolate. Chef’s kiss.
And with all such thjngs that I romanticise from my childhood, I decided to pass on that same feeling to my kids. As much as I love the mint chocolate Vienetta, I know that was a non-starter given that anything mint flavoured makes my kids exclaim ‘YUK! That tastes like toothpaste!’, so a ‘Snickers’ peanut butter version was my natural conclusion. Natural, quite literally as the ice cream is basically just bananas and peanut butter. With a little chocolate thrown in for that crunch.

This chocolate mousse no bake brownie slab is YOUR NEXT BAKE! But, like, without the actual baking bit, because no oven required!
It’s sooooo delicious, vegan, gluten free, no refined sugar and it’s even got 2 of your 5 a day, soooo basically a salad.
Omg guys. I’ve been SO bad at publishing my recipes on here, like SO bad. But this is where I can be super chatty and not worry about engagement and reach and all that rubbish and I’ve missed that!
So I’m going to start catching up (backwards) and posting the recipes I’ve missed on here, in the hope it will appease the people who get cross with me because they can’t screenshot my recipes from the caption. Anyway, let’s do this!

These cookies are potentially the best cookies that autumn has ever seen. I mean they tick all the boxes for me; something warm and gooey out the oven that I can have with a hot drink – tick. Something flavoured with all the best flavours of the season – tick. Oh and chocolate too? TICK TICK TICK. So you can understand why I’m excited to be sharing these cookies with you. They’re so lovely and cosy, spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg and with a little lovely hint of pumpkin in there too.

If there’s one thing I know, it’s that turning up at the school gates without a suitable snack in hand is tantamount to treason when you’re six years old and you’ve just finished a busy day of doing all the things at school. Like many schools these days, Azaria’s school is nut free, and given that she has usually demanded (in a nice way) and devoured (in a messy way) whatever I bring before we’ve even got out of the playground, these balls are the perfect thing to stave off hunger until dinner time and power her through on the walk home from school. Of course when I bring one for her I have to bring one for the boys too, so I end up making quite a lot of these each week, and that’s before I even get a look in!

I love a dessert with a hidden ingredient; and sweet potato is one of the best in my opinion. Its natural sweetness really lends itself to sweet recipes, and the texture of it when it’s all cooked and gooey is just so perfect. I am a big chocolate mousse fan, but realised recently that I’d only made it with avocado or banana before and never really experimented beyond that. Well I was missing a trick, so I’m here so that you don’t!
All you need for this delicious little treat is four ingredients, and it’s incredibly easy to whip up too. It really does make for the perfect little weeknight dessert.

Smoothies are something I’ve loved for years and years, and especially in more recent times I find myself making them more and more as way of having something quick, easy and tasty with loads of fruit, veggies, fibre, healthy fats and basically all the good stuff. I’ve started adding in protein powder too as I’m quite conscious that I need to pack in protein wherever I can, and this is such a good way to do it.
