Vegan Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cupcakes

...with Chocolate Avocado Frosting... This was the first vegan cupcake recipe I made from Ms Cupcake: The Naughtiest Vegan Cakes in Town. I did make the cocoa brownies earlier which you can read all about here. This is one of my go to recipe books at the mo and I'm having fun working through them all. I …

Vegan Brownies from ‘Ms Cupcake’

I'm feeling lost now that I haven't blogged in a week! The reason being I've been head first into my literature review first draft. However I was so excited to get the book: Ms Cupcakes - The Naughtiest Cakes in Town that I took an hour this afternoon to try my first recipe from it - the brownies. I …

Let’s make and discover: Almond Milk

Is there a difference between ground, flaked and whole almonds when making almond milk? I started hearing through various sources how great making your own almond milk is. I do like almond milk for a change, although I do largely prefer to stick to unsweetened soya. Now I wasn't really sure which type of almonds …

The Quest Continues – Vegan Richa Brownies

So today's vegan brownies are brought to you by the gorgeous Vegan Richa. After my experiment with making my own Almond Milk, I have quite a lot of almonds to use in various forms. Therefore I decided to hunt down a recipe using almond flour. I've used it quite a lot in recipes as it …

Really Easy Supper – The Key to Perfect Wraps

I don't about you but sometimes it can feel quite challenging when it's Friday night and there is nothing you fancy more than just shoving a pizza in the oven, if only it wasn't for the fact that you have made a choice not to eat said pizza anymore. I think it's great, therefore to …

Super Speedy Sushi

I wasn't originally going to post this, instead just enjoy stuffing them into my face, but 'Super Speedy Sushi,' - this is for you 40fying. When people think of sushi, …

A Baseline for my Vegan Brownie Quest

Some vegans may wish to look away now, for to set the baseline on my quest for the perfect vegan brownie I had to temporarily revert to eggs and butter. Fear not though my vegan brownie bunnies I will take you briskly through this journey and aim to not disappoint. For despite making two of the biggest names' recipes in brownies, this vegan one is better IMHO.

Super Tasty Homemade Applesauce

So I was on a baking extravaganza a week Saturday. I made this super tasty applesauce to make it easier to make vegan cakes. I looked up recipes online but just ended up making it up. Here's my recipe and it is absolutely delicious. I could eat it on its own. It did kinda remind …

You Will Never Want to Buy a Falafel Again

I actually made two falafel recipes last weekend because they were so easy and straightforward. This is the second one. It is much more like how you would expect a falafel to be - round, with chickpeas and a subtle hint of spice and herbs. By this point I had pretty much thrown the recipe …

These Falafel Patties are Amazeballs

I had this really strong urge to make falafels on Saturday. Now I don't know about you but I've never really come across a bought falafel, be it ready made or in packet form, which floats my boat. I find they all taste a little, weird. Maybe they have too much cumin in, maybe they …

OMG: It’s A Rolo-Over Millionaire’s Shortbread

I meant to post this months ago after a request, but a wonderful card from the Friends of Seaton Park has spurred me on to actually write this down. Now I don't like to blow my own trumpet but these are pretty amazing! They may not have won Cakefest 3 (sob) but the local councillor did …

Kris Holechek’s Ultimate Brownies (modified)

Next on my list of brownie delights was a recipe I found in the book "The 100 Best Vegan Baking Recipes" by Kris Holechek lent from a vegan friend of mine. Any recipe which is called 'The Ultimate Brownies' is up for a challenge. Therefore I just had  to try these. What i am posting here …

Jamie Oliver’s Vegan Brownies

I made Jamie Oliver's Vegan Brownies last weekend. To be honest I was nervous. They were to be my first vegan cake. No eggs? Yikes! I was expecting a gloopy lump of slightly weird tasting stodge. However, I was very pleasantly surprised - these were pretty good! They had nice simple ingredients all of which …
