The oven is firing up again and I’m too excited for all the recipes I have coming your way! Banana bread is probably my favourite thing to bake, so naturally I’m kicking off baking season with a new variation on this classic cake – raspberry vanilla banana bread. Always simple to prepare, tender and moist without being overly sweet, banana bread is the perfect cake to have with a cup of strong coffee or herbal tea. As we’ve got a few weeks of summer berries left, I’ve thrown in some fresh raspberries and boy does this cake deliver! …
Raw brownies
This post is sponsored by WelleCo, all opinions are my own.
Brownies are one of those desserts that never get old, right? I don’t think I’ve ever eaten a brownie I didn’t enjoy. They’re usually very rich and sugary and for that reason I usually bake them every once in a while, for special occasions. Not so with this raw brownie! Gluten, refined sugar and dairy free and nutritious enough to have any time. No baking involved, just a blender, small pan and about 10 minutes to prepare! …
Nutella Milk
Did you enjoy drinking chocolate milk as a kid? There’s something I’ve always found comforting about it, especially when it’s hot outside.
The only thing I love more than chocolate milk has to be chocolate hazelnut milk. It’s hard to go wrong with hazelnuts and chocolate, I’m always down for Nutella flavour anything. Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever met a person who doesn’t like it….

Raw chocolate protein bars
Chocolate is one of life’s great pleasures, right? Dark, milk or white, I love it all! No matter the weather or mood, there’s always special space reserved in my heart and belly for chocolate. Traditional, mass produced chocolate is something I try to limit though, me and processed foods don’t mix very well these days. Thankfully, it’s possible to make almost anything vegan and a little healthier, so I’m whipping up my own chocolate bars!

Cherry coconut cups
It’s officially summertime! My favourite time of year, not only for the extra sunshine, but the seasonal produce. Cherry season is always one I look forward to. Although the birds got to most of them on my tree, there’s still an overflow of juicy cherries at my local market and I’m enjoying them on the regular….
Lemon bars
Are you a lemon lover? It’s probably the only fruit aside from bananas that I enjoy every single day. I love it’s uplifting aroma and zingy flavour and use lemons in hot and cold water throughout the day and always incorporate them in sweet and savoury dishes. Considering how much of a lemon fan I am, it’s a surprise I haven’t made these sooner….
No bake ‘Twix’ bars
Happy June, friends! I’m back to bring you one of the things I’ve always wanted to recreate, the classic ‘Twix’ bar. That shortbread base and gooey caramel layer coated in chocolate is a winning combination! I simply had to try and make it myself, with no dairy, refined sugar or gluten, just wholesome ingredients (and a little chocolate of course)….

These salted caramel smoothie bowls taste heavenly and I can’t wait to share this recipe with you! They only take a couple of minutes to prepare and are fuelling me through my busy days at the minute….
