Two things inspired me for this recipe. Firstly, I found a random pear in my garden – it had rolled a fair distance from a neighbouring tree, ripe, sweet, hot from the sun, a tad bruised from the journey but stunningly juicy. Secondly, the kids had been eating a bag of mixed nuts & left all the brazils at the bottom. So, as you do, I decided to pair the two – chunky brazil nuts meet sweet ripe pears….
Maple Pecan Cookies
I love adventuring in the kitchen with my six year old. She announced that we should invent some cookies: “I don’t want them to be too sweet. And I think there should be pecans”. Right, then. Game on. These cute, nutty, little biscuits were quick & easy to concoct (with the added perk that they’re dairy & egg-free, meaning Trixie could share them with her vegan friend). Tahini is a magic ingredient here – it’s rich, mineral-laden but not overbearing, plus it helps to bind the cookies together….
Chocolate Berry Dreamcake
Okay, so this is the fanciest frilliest most epic recipe on the blog so far! How sensationally festive would this look on your Xmas table? Since it’s summer downunder, I was inspired by the vanilla, chocolate, berry combo of the Kiwi classic Jellytip iceblock. But this plant-powered cake version is a nutrient-rich wholefood taste sensation, packed with goodness as well as flavour. Using raw natural ingredients to lock in flavour & texture, it’s made entirely of nuts, fruits & pure sweeteners, dodging all the processed sugars, saturated fats & high-glycaemic flour blends of traditional cheesecakes. Mean clean green cuisine….
Berry Treasure
How cute are these tiny chocolate bombs? Made from scratch using nutrient-dense super foods – raw cacao, coconut oil, nut butter, pure maple – they are naturally free of dairy & refined sugar AND they pack a nutritional punch of guilt-free goodness. A hidden nugget of raw berry chia jam inside gives these sweet treats their name….
Chocolate Cinnamon Chia Pudding
Thick, gloopy, chocolatey goodness! Super-quick to make, this raw pudding lasts for several days in the fridge – perfect for a guilt-free breakfast, chocolate-hit snack, or a healthy treat to chuck in a lunchbox (my son loves a small container of it with a frozen strawberry dunked in the middle to keep it cool). Chia seeds are mini nutritional powerbombs – rich in antioxidants, minerals & fibre, laden with omega-3’s AND a complete protein. Boom!…
Banana Cupcakes with Walnut Cinnamon Topping
I always get excited by bananas going freckly and darkening merrily in the fruit-bowl – they add such awesome sweetness for baking. This recipe is a banana cake adaptation from my grandmother’s ancient copy of the Edmonds Cookery Book – I’ve made it gluten & dairy free, with about a third of the sweeteners. You can easily serve the cupcakes on their own, or go a bit fancy and make the topping too. This easily adapts to make one large cake….
Lemon Honey Coconut Cake
Light, moist, zesty, not-too-sweet, flour-free & Paleo friendly! This cake is secretly drizzled with lemon juice & a little honey once it comes out of the oven, giving it a fresh burst of moisture & extra hit of flavour. You can also easily transform this recipe into cute little mini cakes which will be loved by all.
