It’s been a while since I have created anything raw and I’m currently a little obsessed with peanut butter. Peanut butter is great and there are so many ways you can include it in your meals or treats. Some even smear it over celery and carrots (I’m yet to try that). And in comparison to natural maple syrups or honey, natural peanut butter is very affordable and accessible from your…

Read More...Chocolate Cake with Cacao Cream and Strawberries
Chocolate cake has a strong effect on even the most controlled individuals; there is just something special about a chocolate sponge with a matching cream. When your spoon digs into the cake’s soft texture and the sauce drizzles out from the centre, you know you have entered dangerous territory and the button on your jeans will most likely be required to be undone. A friend of mine recommended I…

I must give credit where credit is due…. My lovely mother helped me create these scrumptious muffins following my first disastrous muffin attempt (think oat porridge with raspberry mush). My mum is a FANTASTIC cook and has been learning about combining healthy ingredients (through me of course hehe) to develop delicious creations. Sometimes, mothers know best – especially when it comes to cooking! These muffins are so close to perfection…
Read More...Chocolate Peppermint Slice
Mmmm peppermint. I love it in biscuits, cakes, ice cream, mousse and anything else it may be included in. The fresh taste always leaves me delightfully satisfied and I can never get enough, resulting in the disappearances of my entire slice in a record 3 hours… woopsie! My chocolate peppermint slice is a light and fluffy option if you’re feeling like something minty. And who doesn’t love chocolate and peppermint…
Read More...Mini Coconut Cream Cakes
I woke up this morning feeling a little creative. Someone recently asked me about an alternative for nuts in a dessert base so I decided to do a little experimenting with rolled oats. I wasn’t quite sure how this recipe would turn out, but the combination of coconut cream with chewy oats is fantastic! The oat base holds just as well simply by adding a little rice malt syrup and…
