Just like a brownie… only blonde! And with banana, but more importantly, CHOCOLATE. These clean banana and chocolate brownies are very yummy, I made two batches last week and told myself ‘no more!’ haha. I can lose a bit of self control sometimes. Regardless, I still ate the whole batch. Biting into these blissful blondies is like taking a bite out of a soft, spongey, mini cake of goodness….

Over the weekend I was craving something chocolatey (surprise, surprise) and something with peanut butter (again, another surprise). After devouring a not-so-healthy brownie after dinner with the girls during the week – which was delicious – I wanted to recreate something similar. Sometimes I love eating unhealthy desserts to give me inspiration and that’s exactly what that brownie did… These peanut butter chocolate swirl brownies are the perfect treat when…

Ah, Bali… there is so much to love. I just returned a few days ago from the most relaxing trip with two of my girlfriends. We were so lucky to stay at one of the best hotels in Ubud, Komaneka Bisma. Nestled in the middle of the rainforest, Komaneka feels secluded from the hustle and bustle yet is still so close to the town (although we hardly left the hotel –…

Peanut butter – some (most) people love it. And if you’re one of them – you will love this recipe. This recipe is actually an old favourite of mine – I reinvented it the other day when my sister and I were craving a clean treat. I can’t tell you how many times I have made this recipe. There has been numerous times when my best friend has come…

Who knew apple and berries would be such a delicious combination? Definitely not me. On Saturday (aka my baking day) I had so many different ideas of what to bake and couldn’t decide so I left it up to my mum… after all, it was Mother’s Day the next day. She went through decade-old magazine cut-outs of sweet (sugary) treats and picked one she wanted me to make clean….

A decadent combination, this Clean Raspberry + Dark Choc Cake is rich, sweet and sultry (reow). Maybe not quite sultry – I did though make it for a special occasion – my sister’s Hens night. Safe to say, through the blurry-eyed women enjoying the celebrations, the cake was a hit. But it was the next day that I (by myself) truly inhaled the cake until it was totally gone. The…

It’s no secret that I love Nutella. Whether it’s winter or not – I can’t go past a nice big scoop of the gooey goodness that is Nutella – so I try to stop myself by making clean versions of treats with a hint of Nutella deliciousness! This cake is extremely easy to make… 5 ingredients. In the oven for 35 minutes. And you’re done. The combination of hazelnut…

Can you believe how quickly this year has flown? We have just over a week until Christmas (eek!) and baking mittens around the world are getting their biggest workout of the year. Each year at Christmas my mum bakes every Christmas treat you can imagine; mini fruit puddings, trifle, gingerbread – you name it. So I knew I had to compete this year with a stand-out dessert that would be delicious enough to…

I can never get enough of apples. They are so sweetly delicious on their own – and even better in dessert. Last week I felt like something fruity, soft and spongy – so I created these Clean Spiced Apple Muffins. A great one for spring – and even better to bring to your friend’s dinner party (I will have one of these over a TimTam, thank you). As you bite…
