the gluten-free adventures of a compulsive feeder
With only 5 ingredients, this is a versatile wee recipe – you can use it as a luscious cake frosting, or team it up with chia pudding for a simple rich dessert. And who doesn’t love a healthy sweet treat where the main component is a sneaky vegetable?!

Oh so soft & deliciously creamy! I seriously can’t get enough of this tart. It’s so simple, yet feels utterly decadent. The rich yet paradoxically light filling comes from banana & peanut butter – as the name suggests – but the secret weapon here is silken tofu, giving a delightfully smooth silky texture. It’s like a mousse crossed with a cream pie crossed with heaven.

Bursts of berry & a subtle zing of lemon gives this densely delicious cake a lovely flavour, while fresh grated apple gives moisture & natural sweetness.

This is a bigger, pimped-up version of my mini ganache bites recipe, which has always been a hit. Not one person has ever guessed the secret main ingredient! The ganache filling is light & soft & melts in your mouth, like a wonderfully moist mousse….
No food blog is complete without a recipe for chocolate chip cookies, right?! Quick, simple & not too sweet, these nutritious little biscuits are lovely eaten fresh, or dunked in a cup of tea. Tahini acts as a rich, mineral-laden binder, a creamy compliment to sweet maple syrup….
Triple nut butter, I hear you ask? Yep, that’s because there’s peanut butter in all three layers of this decadent slice (you can swap it out for almond butter, but I’m a PB freak from way back) The base is a simple nutty date ‘dough’, the luscious middle layer of caramel involves dates & nut butter blended until smooth, while the chocolate coating is a rich blend of cacao, maple and – you guessed it – nut butter!…
This is a new riff on my crowd-pleasing Blue Bounty Bites. Soft & succulent, these not-too-sweet treats are infused with earthy matcha (green tea powder) and punchy peppermint, then smothered in a layer of dark chocolate. Matcha contains vitamins A & C, and – like dark chocolate – it’s rich in antioxidants. So this isn’t only a delicious treat, it’s also damn healthy….
Warning: these will call to you from the freezer, like a raw, ridiculously healthy choir. Soft, melt-in-your-mouth goodness, made with only a handful of nutrient-dense ingredients. Nothing complicated here, all you need is a mixing bowl or two….
I have a serious crush on this cake. It’s so moist & stuffed full of fruit that it’s almost a pudding. Plant-based & gently spiced, there are no eggs or dairy here, just pears encased in a simple naturally sweet batter….
