I know my recipes recently have been dominated by chocolate but seriously, chocolate is delicious so why not? :P. These chocolate muffins are lovely and quick to make and we ALWAYS have all the ingredients sat in the cupboard. You can customise easily with adding different nuts, dried fruit or even chocolate chunks. Continue reading Chocolate muffins
This recipe is everything you could want from a brownie. Moist, rich, gooey and incredibly chocolate-ey! I’m often disappointed by commercial brownies as they are overwhelmingly sweet when really, I’m looking for something which will satisfy my chocolate craving. This recipe delivers every time. You can replace the walnuts with something else if you prefer, other nuts, cranberries, chocolate chips, etc. Continue reading Ultimate chocolate brownie
This pear and chocolate cake is just what I have been craving. It doesn’t take long to make and is a lovely dinner party special or just as a random week night treat when you need a pick me up. It is a bit fiddly and creates a whole load of washing up but is sooooooo worth it. Oh and it’s gluten free too. Continue reading Pear & chocolate cake
Rye is not the typical flour I would use for baking, particularly not for sweet baking, so when the lovely folks at Talgarth Mill (you know them, they have a traditional water mill and provide us our wholemeal, rye and spelt flours) gave us this recipe I had to give it a go myself. And…I can honestly say it was a pleasant surprise. The rye works really well with the chocolate in these brownies. I did use less chocolate than the original recipe and it turned out great.

Have you ever tried one of those Nakd bars? They are pretty tasty but unfortunately they come wrapped in plastic. So, thanks to one of our lovely customers, I am able to share with you a recipe for your very own fruit bar, and these truly are ‘naked’. This is a really simple recipe which is gluten free, vegan, and sugar free. But I assure it, they don’t taste well behaved. Eating these gives me my sweet snack fix for the day. The dates give these bars a deliciously fudgey taste and I assure you they are a great way to pack in some healthy sugars if you are planning on climbing any mountains.

I made this cake as a dessert when we had guests over and it was an absolute hit. I had never tried vegan baking before so I was a bit hesitant over whether it would all work but it did. Due to the amount of fruit in this plant based chocolate cake I feel like it can even be called healthy too ;). Even better, most of the ingredients are available from our shop plastic free! It is a bit faffy and perhaps not the most elegant cake but well worth the effort for the taste.
