I have had such a busy weekend of baking and I am loving my newest creation, especially these clean coconut surprise cookies. So you’re probably wondering what exactly the ‘surprise’ is. Each of these delicious cookies has one square of 70% dark chocolate hidden inside. When you take them straight out of the oven and take a bite, gooey, melted chocolate will hit your lips with a lovely coconut…

\ A long work day, perhaps a coffee or two, and then it hits the 3pm mark and you’re craving a sugar hit – you know the feeling right?! I do too. And I usually visit Hunter’s Roots for a sweet treat. This Melbourne cafe is only a short walk from my work and Kerry and the team KNOW how to bake – without any nasties. On one of my visits…

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 –…

= = As I write this I am eating the final piece of this clean carrot cake. I would also like to add that this cake lasted less than 24 hours. I would love to tell you that I gave away this cake to my friends and family… but the truth is, I definitely ate most of it. At least three quarters… By now it’s no secret that this clean…

For anyone who is following me on Instagram you would know that this was ‘accidental’ gelato. This gelato was actually meant to be nougat. When I was ready to slice the ‘nougat’ my boyfriend looked at it and said ‘that’s going to melt.’ He was right. And when he dug in his teaspoon to taste it, I gave it one look and one taste to know that this recipe…

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….

Winter is upon us, which means chilly nights snuggled in front of the fire with something to warm your tummy, is not too far away. Unfortunately, my body feels the cold right away, so when Melbourne autumn settles there’s one thing I crave in particular; chocolate. And not just chocolate, but warm, gooey, decadent chocolate. These Clean Warm Chocolate Puddings are perfect for cold nights and chilly mornings (who said…

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…

I was craving something sweet but I couldn’t put my finger on it… something chocolatey… but different to what I normally make. I have two favourite people who give me true criticisms of my recipes; my dad and brother. These guys don’t muck around – they eat kit kats, cadburys – you name it. If they want to eat my treats – then I have created something worth putting on…

A few days ago it was International Nutella Day, and it was a totally a coincidence that I felt like making Nutella a day before the special occasion. Needless to say, I was pleased I could celebrate the day in foodie style with some clean nutella drop biscuits. Nutella is extremely easy to make – you will need a processor, hazelnut meal (from The Source.. buy it here), cacao butter,…
