salted caramel smoothie bowls

Salted caramel. One of those flavours that almost instantly makes my mouth water. I’m usually too impatient to wait until after dinner for my sweet fix, so I love dessert flavoured breakfast bowls. 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….

Raw chocolate cheesecakes

raw chocolate cheesecakes

One of my favourite things to do is make a healthier version of a classic sweet. Especially if I can make one that’s good enough to have post workout. Cake is for anytime, not just for dessert, right? These chocolate cheesecakes may look just like their sugar laden counterparts, but they’re protein packed, refined sugar, dairy and gluten free and full of wholesome ingredients!…

Chai latté donuts

22nd October 2017 by bos.kitchen 6 Comments

chai latte donuts with cashew cream frosting

Happy October, friends! It’s that time of year when I’m baking almost every day, it’s my favourite way to spend time indoors. These chai latté donuts are so delicious and moreish, plus they’re mini so you can get away with having a few at once. They’re frosted with a seriously creamy cashew icing, that’s refined sugar free but just as creamy and lush as you’d expect. I added some cacao to the mix, as I think it gives that rich latté flavour I was craving. Finished with a dusting of cinnamon and cacao, these little chai donuts are a joy to eat….

Berry galettes

28th May 2017 by bos.kitchen Leave a Comment

Summer is almost here and what better way to celebrate than with these little summer berry galettes? Luscious, jammy berries encased in a vegan flaky pastry. Perfect with a dollop of vanilla coconut cream or a big scoop of ice cream. I’ve wanted to make galettes for so long and I’ve already made three batches in one week. Making up for lost time, eh?

These are actually really simple to prepare and you’ve most likely got the ingredients in your cupboard already.  Galettes beat tarts any day for me, because your get more crust to fruit per mouthful and who doesn’t love pastry?

berry galettes

I tried making these with a mix of gluten free flours but I just wasn’t happy with the way they looked. They still tasted nice though, so feel free to sub for an all purpose gluten free flour if you wish. I’ve also put an option to use coconut oil for the pastry rather than vegan margarine, but they won’t be as flaky and golden. Coconut sugar can be used for the fruit if you’d like to make these refined sugar free. The good thing is they’ll work whichever ingredients you decide to use, it’s a pretty flexible recipe.

They’re delicious served fresh from the oven, or stored in the fridge and heated up just before serving. The perfect summer berry celebration pud.

I’ve had fun eating my way through hundreds of galettes this week to perfect this recipe, so please do let me know what you think in the comments below, or tag me on Instagram @bos.kitchen.

Author: Bo's Kitchen
Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 12 small galettes
Ingredients
  • 2¼ cup plain flour/gf plain flour
  • ½ cup vegan margarine/coconut oil
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • ⅓-1/2 cup ice cold water
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • ½ cup raw cane/coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1 lemon, juice and zest
  • 1.5 tbsp cornstarch
  • pinch of salt
  • 1.5 cups each of blueberries, strawberries and raspberries
  • ¼ cup nut milk
  • coconut sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
  1. Make the pastry. Chop up coconut oil or margarine into rough pieces. Add to food processor with flour, salt, cornstarch, ACV and almond extract and pulse until crumbly. Slowly add the water until a dough is formed. Take out and flatten into a disc on a floured surface. Wrap in clingfilm and chill in the fridge for 30 mins.
  2. Let the dough rest for a minute or two to come to room temperature. Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface into rounds, you can make bigger ones or 12 small ones, using a 5 inch bowl. Use a pizza cutter to trim any excess pastry. Stack the rounds on a plate, with greaseproof paper and chill while you make the filling.
  3. Pop a large lined baking tray in the oven to preheat at 220•c. Mix sugar, vanilla, lemon, salt and cornstarch in a medium sized bowl. Toss fruits in sugar mix until evenly coated. Divide the mix between pastry rounds, leaving an inch gap around the edge. Go round the dough in one direction, pinching and folding the pastry. Top with extra fruit if you need to. Pour over any juices from the sugar bowl. Brush pastry with nut milk and sprinkle with sugar.
  4. Bake for 30 mins, turning half way through until golden and the fruit is jammy. Remove immediately onto a cooling rack. Delicious on their own, or with coconut whipped cream.

Clementine sesame raw cookies

14th December 2016 by bos.kitchen Leave a Comment

Clementine and sesame raw cookies

Hey babes! I’m sorry for being away a lot lately, life has been pretty hectic this month and the days are so short my time for photography is very limited (I should probably get an artificial light but I’m too stubborn). I’m back with this wonderfully easy raw cookie recipe though- full of festive ingredients to get you in the Christmas spirit. There’s something about cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger that makes my heart happy, they smell truly magical together.

Sweet, citrusy, delicately spiced and full of vitamins, they’ll help to keep you snacking healthy this Christmas. They’re vegan, refined sugar free and no bake- meaning less washing up and minimal prep time (less than 10 minutes). They’d be a great cookie to make with little ones too.

I can’t believe this year is almost over. What a year it has been. I could never have predicted just quite how unpredictable it could be. It’s been a rollercoaster in every way possible but thankfully I’m ending it on a huge high and I’m so grateful to the universe for everything it has thrown my way.

I’ve learnt that sometimes bad things need to happen so you can see things as they really are. And it’s far better to have your eyes wide open than be blinded to the truth, however painful it may be. I’m ending the year on a massive high with somebody I truly love and everything feels like it is going to plan for the first time in my life!

Fortunately my new man has taken to this whole vegan malarky like a fish to water, so I have an excuse to make loads of food again. The whole raw cookie thing was completely unchartered territory for him, so I knew I had to create something extra sweet and delicious to make a good first impression (the green smoothies are still too ‘funky’ for him at the mo hehe). These babies hit the spot for sure, although he didn’t get to enjoy that many as I wolfed them down in less than two days. I’d love to know if you try these, either leave a comment below or please take a pic and tag me on Instagram – @bos.kitchen, it would make my day!

Stay warm and nourished, sending you a big hug and an even bigger bag of cookies.

xx

 

Clementine sesame raw cookies (makes about 16 small cookies, or 12 big ones)

  • 1 cup oats
  • 1 cup cashews
  • 1/2 cup walnuts
  • 1/2 cup sesame seeds

  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg

  • 1/4 cup dairy free choc chips
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries/sour cherries other dried fruit
  1. Add oats, cashews, walnuts and 1/4 cup of the sesame seeds to a food processor and grind to a flour.
  2. Add salt, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg to the blender and pulse briefly to combine.
  3. Tip dry ingredients into a bowl and stir through the clementine juice, agave syrup, melted cacao butter and vanilla until the dough comes together. It should be very moist and smell awesome (feel free to taste test at this point)!
  4. Now stir through the choc chips,  1/4 cup sesame seeds and cranberries. Shape into little balls and flatten into a cookie shape. Sprinkle with extra sesame seeds and clementine rind. Eat right away, or pop them in the fridge to firm up. Keep in the fridge for up to 4 days in an airtight container.

Chocolate and peanut butter marble cake

22nd November 2016 by bos.kitchen Leave a Comment

Chocolate, vanilla and peanut butter marble loaf

Do you like cake? Do you like chocolate and peanut butter? Yes? Well you’re in the right place, my friend. This chocolate peanut butter marble cake has been sent to satisfy your cake cravings. This was actually a treat for my boyfriend, who has been rambling on about a special cake for the past few weeks. He kept saying he doesn’t want anything fancy, just a ‘marble cake’. I dread to think what I’m going to have to make when he tells me his idea of ‘fancy’!

This baby is so easy to prepare but looks like it takes a lot of skill to bake (perfect for wowing that special someone). You can make it in a loaf tin, or two sandwich tins for a traditional cake. I bet it would be lush with a peanut butter cream in the middle. It’s made with spelt and plain flour, but feel free to sub with all spelt if you prefer, or a gluten free plain flour. I used ‘aquafaba’ for this cake too, which is basically the liquid from a tin of chickpeas or white beans. Sounds gross, but works amazingly well as an egg substitute and I promise it doesn’t leave any chickpea flavour at all.

Do you have a favourite cake? Please let me know if so in the comments below as I really enjoy veganising cakes. This cold weather has got me craving baking time too, so I’m on the lookout for new baking adventures!

 

Chocolate peanut butter marble cake

Dry 

  • 1 cup plain flour
  • 2/3 cup spelt flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup avocado or coconut oil (melted)
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/4 cup cacao powder

Wet 

  • 1/4 cup aquafaba liquid
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup nut mylk (I used almond)
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup boiling water
  1. Preheat oven to 180•c and line a loaf tin or two sandwich tins with greaseproof paper.
  2. Mix all dry ingredients apart from the cacao together in a bowl. Add all wet ingredients to the mix apart from the boiling water and stir well to combine. Add a little more almond mylk if you need to loosen the peanut butter.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix 1/4 cup cacao with 1/4 cup of boiling water. Now add half the cake mix to this bowl and mix to incorporate.
  4. To the remaining batter, add in 1/4 cup boiling water and mix. Now you should have one bowl of chocolate batter and one bowl of plain batter.
  5. Spoon dollops of each mix into your prepared tin. Once complete, swirl through with a chopstick to create the marble effect.
  6. Bake in the oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Stores well in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
