Apple crumble muffins

If there’s one thing I don’t mind about winter (I’m a summer girl at heart), it’s the decadent desserts that are made through the season; chocolate puddings, hot chocolates, apple pie with custard… the list goes on. So, as soon as the weather started to take a chillier turn, there was only one thing I felt like – apple crumble. But not just any apple crumble, a smaller, for-one apple crumble….

Chocolate Peanut Butter Oat Squares

A few weeks ago my mum called me into the kitchen and said, “Jess, can you make a clean version of this?” It was a recipe video on Facebook by Tip Hero which wasn’t clean – but looked incredibly delicious. It was chocolate oat bars. I immediately said “yes, I will make this clean!” and I did (it’s a win win for everyone. My mum, my stomach… and most importantly,…

Coconut Surprise Cookies

  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…

Dark Chocolate and Pecan Cookies

\    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…

Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies

  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…

Dadar Gulung

  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 –…

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…

Chocolate & Almond Gelato

  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…

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…

Raspberry + Dark Chocolate Cake

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…
