I hadn’t intended to create this as a new recipe or blog post at all. I just wanted to bake a batch of this and was going to try making it extra clumpy (such a strange word). I hadn’t expected to wind up with crunchy little clusters of granola bursting with peanut butter and cocoa…

Black Forest Bread Pudding
Bread pudding is one of those things that has possibly been floating around in my brain at a verrrrrrry subconscious level. I mean, cookies and cake are always at the top of course. So I was stunned when I woke up one morning thinking “I want to add chocolate and cherries to bread pudding”, like…
Blueberry Crumble Ice Cream (No-Churn)
Eating ice cream in zillion degree weather: smart. Trying to photograph ice cream in zillion degree weather: very very dumb. But this one tastes soooo good, it was worth the meltdown (guess who melted down more). I’m back with no-churn ice cream! Creamy, smooth, fruity and perfect. With blueberry compote swirled in and a crunchy…
Cherry Coconut Cakes
Clearly, I have a thing for mini cakes and it was only a matter of time before I added cherries to this situation. My favourite buttery cake batter, with fresh cherries and shredded coconut for an amaaaazing flavour combination. Topped with whipped cream and crunchy, toasty bits of coconut, these are ridiculously good. And also…
Healthy Blueberry Crisp
After eating a few stray blueberries from these cakes, topped with this granola, it occurred to me that a blueberry crisp, with a crunchy oat topping would be amaaaazing. Like a nice warm berry compote, with lots of texture from almonds and rolled oats. To keep this good enough for breakfast, it’s sweetened only with…
Yoghurt Parfaits with Date & Almond Granola
Back with more homemade granola! Having a batch of it on hand, no matter what flavour, is the bestest idea. For the most part, I snack on granola as is, but sometimes I’ll add it to yoghurt and that’s when I thought of turning this particular granola into a simple parfait. This granola has fresh…
Lemon Cakes with Blueberry Compote
You gaaaaiz! These cakes are so good, even better than I’d expected them to be. I’ve been dreaming of little lemon cakes for a while now, and they were to have a cream cheese frosting and blueberries on top. The frosting turned into more of an icing but I’m happy to report, it’s like a…
A week in Istanbul and Cappadocia
In the last couple of years, I know of a number of people who’ve been to Turkey and come back with incredible stories. But though it’s been on my bucket list for a while, it wasn’t the first place we thought of visiting while vaguely talking about a holiday somewhere in Europe for the summer….
Healthy Banana Oat & Peanut Butter Cookies (Vegan, GF)
After the massive baklava binge in Turkey, I figured I’d get back to baking with a slightly more redeeming recipe, saving the sugar for another day. These cookies are made with basically oats and bananas, with a handful of other ingredients to amp up the flavour. They are chewy, satisfying and really delicious! Yes, I…
