the gluten-free adventures of a compulsive feeder
Seriously good, seriously simple. You can make this bark using store-bought chocolate, but better yet, whip up your own healthy chocolate with four super simple ingredients: coconut oil, maple syrup, nut butter & cocoa. Pretzels add an awesome crunch, or go wild with your own topping ideas.

Healthy, nutrient-dense, plant-based, perfectly rich & soft! It’s no secret that I’m a tahini freak – I’m in love with its mineral-rich creaminess – and I’m also in love with plant protein and the endless creative ways it can be added to our diets. This recipe is a classic example – black beans form the bulk of the truffle, complimented sweetly with a little maple, nut butter and of course, cacao. The other star of the show is sesame (tahini’s origins!), which adds a toasty, nutty, crunchy, warmth.

With only 5 ingredients, this is a versatile wee recipe – you can use it as a luscious cake frosting, or team it up with chia pudding for a simple rich dessert. And who doesn’t love a healthy sweet treat where the main component is a sneaky vegetable?!

Oh so soft & deliciously creamy! I seriously can’t get enough of this tart. It’s so simple, yet feels utterly decadent. The rich yet paradoxically light filling comes from banana & peanut butter – as the name suggests – but the secret weapon here is silken tofu, giving a delightfully smooth silky texture. It’s like a mousse crossed with a cream pie crossed with heaven.

This is a bigger, pimped-up version of my mini ganache bites recipe, which has always been a hit. Not one person has ever guessed the secret main ingredient! The ganache filling is light & soft & melts in your mouth, like a wonderfully moist mousse….
Triple nut butter, I hear you ask? Yep, that’s because there’s peanut butter in all three layers of this decadent slice (you can swap it out for almond butter, but I’m a PB freak from way back) The base is a simple nutty date ‘dough’, the luscious middle layer of caramel involves dates & nut butter blended until smooth, while the chocolate coating is a rich blend of cacao, maple and – you guessed it – nut butter!…
Warning: these will call to you from the freezer, like a raw, ridiculously healthy choir. Soft, melt-in-your-mouth goodness, made with only a handful of nutrient-dense ingredients. Nothing complicated here, all you need is a mixing bowl or two….
Such a cute home-made gift! Chocolate salami is a wonderful sweet treat to keep tucked away in the fridge – simply slice & snack. I had a quick scout around online for sweet salami recipes, but so many of them were a high octane blend of store-bought chocolate, biscuits, eggs, butter, lollies…so I set out to create a healthier version. This is a no-bake nutty chocolatey superfoods concoction, which will scratch that sweet itch without spiking your blood glucose….
Hands up if you love freezer treats! This healthy sweet treat has a soft layer of caramel encased between golden toasted hazelnuts and a nutty chocolatey base. It never ceases to amaze me how wonderfully versatile the plant world is – this tastes so insanely good, yet it’s basically just a mélange of fruit & nuts. No dairy, no refined sugar, no grains, and naturally, no gluten. Yum!…
