Strawberry Sponge Cake
This Strawberry Sponge Cake is so good in summer as it utilises fresh strawberries. It’s also vegan and sugar-free! Every summer I love going strawberry picking. It’s nice to get out in the sun and wander around the strawberry patches finding all the best ones and of course sampling them too! This summer’s haul was...
Peanut Butter Cookies
Category: Dessert
When I was a kid my mum used to make peanut butter cookies and they were so good! Sometimes she would put chocolate chips in too! In my adult years I have made full sugar and animal product versions complete with choccie chips and I’ve also made a vegan, gluten free version, still full of...
Chocolate Hazelnut Tart
Category: Dessert
Who doesn’t love a chocolate tart? This one is sort of a hazelnut chocolate tart, reminiscent of Nutella, but without the dairy or sugar. I had originally wanted to do this with sugar free, dairy free melted chocolate instead of the cacao but I just couldn’t find the chocolate. If you aren’t too concerned about...
Banana Oat Muffins
These Banana Oat Muffins are approx. 16g of carbs per muffin. Do you find yourself often buying bananas and then you don’t eat them in time and they go brown? I do. All the time! And for me that means baking time! You could also peel them, chop them up and freeze them ready for...
Guilt-Free Chocolate Truffles
With Easter just around the corner I thought it would be nice to provide a chocolatey recipe which diabetics and vegans can enjoy! So many Easter treats are loaded with sugar and dairy, but my chocolate truffles are both vegan and sugar while still being delicious! You wouldn’t guess they don’t include sugar or animal...
Lemon Poppy Seed Loaf
This lemon poppy seed loaf is not only vegan and sugar-free but it’s also gluten-free! I usually don’t do gluten free baking, in fact I tend to stay clear of it. It’s so different from normal baking and even more difficult when I’m trying to also make something vegan and sugar free. I always just...
Individual Lemon and Blueberry Cheesecakes
Category: Dessert
These individual lemon and blueberry cheesecakes are vegan, refined sugar free and gluten free! And the best bit is you can’t tell! I don’t normally use store bought vegan cream cheese but I wanted to give it a try and make things a little easier on myself, so I gave Angel Food Dairy Free Cream Cheese...
Neapolitan Chia Seed Pudding
This week I thought I’d try making a neapolitan chia seed pudding. Yup you read that right. Like the ice-cream flavour but in healthy, chia seed form. Chia seed puddings are pretty weird, you can make them just with chia seeds and milk, the chia seeds expand and go kind of jelly like and with...
Vegan Peanut Butter Cups
I’ve always looooved peanut butter cups. Before I was vegan or diabetic I was obsessed with Reeses. Chocolate and peanut butter is just the perfect combo, that semi sweet, thick creamy peanut butter centre covered in a coating of delicious chocolate. What’s not to like? Well unfortunately, Reeses are made with dairy and a lot...
Caramel Slice
Caramel slice is a treat I used to love getting from the bakery or a cafe, however, they generally are loaded with sugar as well as butter and who knows what other animal products! Fortunately I’ve come up with a recipe which is vegan and refined sugar-free as well as gluten-free so you (and I)...
Vegan Low Carb Peanut Butter Brownie Mug
I’ve been working on a recipe for a Vegan Low Carb Peanut Butter Brownie Mug for a little while now and I’m SO excited that I finally have one! I love a brownie mug as they’re so easy and quick to make and are such a good little dessert for those post dinner sweet tooth...
Vegan Sugar-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies are the quintessential cookie, the cookie of all cookies if you will, and I’m pretty happy with my version – vegan, sugar-free chocolate chip cookies! Yep that’s right, it is actually still possible to make this cookie without any animal products or sugar. They’re a nice golden brown and soft and chewy...
Pumpkin Spice Bundt Cake
My latest addition to my Chritsmas recipe lineup is a pumpkin spice Bundt cake. Vegan of course and also sugar-free. This is sort of a new, original take on the traditional pumpkin pie. I love a good (vegan) pumpkin pie as much as the next person but to be honest it can be a bit...
Easy Vegan Trifle
I decided to make an Easy Vegan Trifle recipe as even though I love Christmas it can so often be really stressful. Long, complicated recipes for Christmas day don’t help. So I thought an easy dessert option was the way to go for those who are short on time or feeling a bit stressed and...
Low Carb Vegan Brownies
Carbohydrates per 1 brownie: 2g. These low carb vegan brownies are honestly the best brownies! They are so incredibly chocolatey and fudgey, you would never guess they don’t contain animal products or sugar. They’re also gluten-free and nut-free! This brownie recipe uses sunflower seed flour. Yep that’s a thing. It’s great because sunflower seeds are...
Low Carb Berry Crumble
Carbohydrates per serve: 15g (depending on the berries you use). Like any crumble, my low carb berry crumble is the perfect winter dessert. It’s warming and comforting, plus the use of the oven warms up your kitchen, not just your stomach! It’s packed with lots of antioxidants and Vitamin C rich berries, which are great...
Vegan Chocolate Mousse
Carbohydrates per serve: approx. 4g. This Vegan Chocolate Mousse is not only, well, vegan, it’s also sugar-free, gluten-free and nut-free! It’s incredibly easy and quick to make – the longest part is leaving it in the fridge for an hour to set – it’s light, airy, and most importantly, rich, decadent and delicious! So you...
