A few weeks ago NOMO chocolate sent me some of their chocolate bars to try and make something with. Firstly, they are incredible! Have you tried them yet babe? No?! They are easily the best vegan chocolate I've tried, they are creamy and tasty. Some vegan chocolates are not milky enough right? These are smooth … Continue reading SWEET TREATS: NOMO chocolate flapjacks

BAKED GOODS: A simple chocolate cake
Vegans just eat grass right? We've all seen the memes, we've all pretended to laugh at the jokes, yeh very funny everyone. Now that it's BBQ season this joke seems to be around more than usual - wonderful. A few weeks ago I went home for my dad's 60th birthday and what did we do … Continue reading BAKED GOODS: A simple chocolate cake
BAKED GOODS: Chickpea cookies
Your eyes do not deceive you, I did title this post chickpea cookies! I've been looking for some cookie inspo for ages, I think you can't beat a good old cuppa on a grey day (and I see a lot of those in Glasgow) with a biscuit but most of the gluten free biscuits in … Continue reading BAKED GOODS: Chickpea cookies
BAKED GOODS: Sweet potato brownies
Chocolate makes me very happy but now that I'm eating a plant based diet, it can be tough to get my chocolate fix these days and even when I do, I get sad that everything is packed full of sugar. So, to the kitchen! Surely sweet potato brownies will work and give me that hit … Continue reading BAKED GOODS: Sweet potato brownies

I absolutely love a muffin for breakfast but there's no way in hell I could eat them all the time, it's also very hard to buy a gluten free muffin that's also dairy free so I did some research and adapted a Jamie Oliver recipe for butternut squash muffins. What you need: 3 eggs 1/2 cup … Continue reading BAKED GOODS: Butternut squash muffins
SWEET TREATS: Free from everything cookies
Last weeks failure of sugar and dairy free flapjacks (that have been eaten as crumbly granola all week) inspired me try some sugar, dairy, wheat and egg free cookies. Now I know that this sounds terrible but honestly, they surprised me too, they aren't conventional cookies but they are most certainly lovely little, sweet bites … Continue reading SWEET TREATS: Free from everything cookies
BAKED GOODS: Scones without gluten, eggs, or dairy
Scones are something I really miss now I'm wheat free and any time I've tried to make them I've failed miserably, they usually crumble into tiny pieces at the sight of a knife. But after some research I've found a couple of really simple recipes that are gluten free but also dairy and egg … Continue reading BAKED GOODS: Scones without gluten, eggs, or dairy
