For some of you who have been following me for a while, you would know I get extremely excited about spring/summer. Yes, I know we are still in August, however in just 10 short days (not that I’m counting) spring will be upon us and the streets will be lined with flowery trees and sunshine… So what does this have to do with clean desserts? Well rather than indulging in…
I am always overly excited each time I create a new recipe. I just love sharing it with you all and hearing the feedback! This cake is just too good to keep to myself. I made this cake at 4pm today – and it is now 8pm and completely vanished (in my tummy of course, and my family’s). This clean pear & date upside down cake is something I am extremely…
We all wish we could eat rocky road every day of the week – well at least I do. We also wish we could indulge in cake every day of the week (again, referring to myself – I assume I’m not alone on this one?) so I decided to put the two together for one very decadent dessert. This clean rocky road inspired cake was made for those nights where…
It’s no secret that peanut butter and chocolate make an incredibly delicious pair – and it’s no secret that the world is crazy about peanut butter…. and chocolate. So what happens when you create a peanut butter biscuit base with rich chocolate…
As most of you may know, the aim of My Clean Treats is to recreate my favourite desserts with healthy ingredients. It’s difficult when you crave something sweet and know it will do more bad than good for your body. Life is about enjoying – so why give up dessert? Since as long as I can remember, my grandparents would often open a packet of Arnott’s Mint Slice after a big Italian feast….
Don’t you love biting into a rich, dark chocolate cherry ripe after a hearty dinner? The combination of bitter dark chocolate and sweet cherries is deliciously decadent and perfect for enjoying in front of the fire on a chilly night. My Dad has always been a big fan of Cadbury’s Cherry Ripe so I was excited to hear his opinion on my healthy take of the famous chocolate indulgence. Cherry ripes…
Chocolate and coffee – now that is a yummy combination. I am not a massive coffee drinker (around 2-3 per week) but I do enjoy desserts with coffee and of course, with chocolate. I am also more drawn to a warm coffee during the colder months (aren’t we all?). Since Melbourne is extremely chilly this time of year this is exactly what I felt like when I created this recipe….

You know when you go to a friend’s house for dinner and you want to bring something sweet for after? This is the cake to make. My Mum recently created a moist banana cake for a friend and after I had a few bites, I was hooked on the soft, fluffy texture. I knew then I needed to recreate something sweet, tangy and light. It took a few trial and…
By now you may have noticed the idea around my blog is to recreate my favourite treats, well, my most recent obsession are the popular Quest bars. On my way to work, it’s hard to say no when I can easily pick one up as I pass the health food store. Although Quest Bars aren’t BAD for you (let’s be honest, they aren’t a Snickers chocolate bar), they do contain…
Every year my family devours hot cross buns in the lead up to Easter. Although I love traditional hot cross buns, to me (and my chocolate addiction), nothing beats when you warm up a chocolate hot cross bun and bite into the gooey centre, with melted chocolate drizzling down your fingertips. And that is why this year I have decided to give the healthy hot cross buns a go…
‘ With Valentine’s Day literally around the corner, it can be tough deciding on something special to bake your partner – and this cake definitely fits the theme.
