I’m doing my best to bake more and more desserts that are healthy-ish and ‘better’ for me than um, this cake. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I still love cream cheese frosting and I’ll still bake brownies, but the big side-effect of adulting is actually wanting to eat desserts that aren’t all bad. Who…

Wholewheat Almond Butter Blondies
Happy new week everyone! I’m back after an indulgent vacation in the US and getting back to real life has been much harder than I expected. I wasn’t too excited about baking or blogging in the last four days since I’ve come back to India. Apparently a three week break from the oven and kitchen…
Homemade Gnocchi in Tomato Sauce
If you’ve never made this before, don’t gnoc-chi it till you try it. Ugh, sorry, that was awful. I promise to make it up to you with this soft, yet crispy gnocchi, dunked in the quickest, most flavourful tomato sauce! I was amazed at how straightforward this whole thing can be. Takes a little time to…
Cornmeal Pancakes
I don’t make pancakes very often for breakfast because I’m a toast and eggs girl most days. Pancakes tend to fill me up more than I like in the mornings, so when I do make a batch, it’s always a small one and with some sort of fruit on top. Or I go the oat…
Classic Apple Crumble
This blog is not new to apple crumble. Here it is with strawberries, here with sage. But what it didn’t have till this moment was a classic, basic, magical ‘plain’ apple crumble that doesn’t even have a proper recipe and still can’t go wrong no matter what you do. All it’s got is juicy apple…
Flourless Peanut Butter Oat Cookies
Feel-good cookies, everybody! I’ve made flourless peanut butter cookies before but these guys are better for you. With redeeming oats, no added refined fat or sugar and obviously, no flour. It sounds like there’s going to be no point at all eating them, but I promise, they’re delicious! They’re soft, chewy, full of peanut butter…
Chocolate Date Pudding (Eggless)
This was just an experiment but I couldn’t believe how well it turned out. I adore homemade chocolate pudding but hadn’t really planned on making a naturally sweetened version. And then I did and oh my god, you guys. This one is creamy, rich, bittersweet and contains no added refined sugar. It’s thickened and sweetened…
Blueberry Galette
The reason that galettes are the first natural step to making pie dough is because you scream a lot less while making a galette. There’s no panic, no need to make things pretty and in fact, the wonkier it looks, the better. ‘Rustic’ is in. As long as the crust is buttery, flaky, tender and…
Coconut Blondies
Butter and brown sugar is a highly underrated flavour combination. I don’t know why I haven’t raved enough about it, because that’s basically caramel! It’s exactly what’s going on in these blondies. Caramel. With coconut and chunks of dark chocolate. So good! A blondie is like a brown sugar brownie. Dense, chewy and buttery. We…
