1. Chocolate Peanut Butter Slice
Looking for not-so-naughty sweet vegan treats? Then this one’s for you! With their toffee-like consistency and rich, nutty sweetness, you would never suspect that such simple, pure and nutritious ingredients could create such gooey, delicious decadence.

2. Chocolate & Banana Cake
We all wish we could eat cake for breakfast, but that’s just not healthy is it? Think again. These cacao, banana, date and cashew slices are the dreamiest and moistest cakes you can imagine, and are made solely from fruits and nuts! Bananas and cashews are incredibly sustaining, and a slice of this for breakfast fills you up for hours. The cashews are full of protein, and the natural sugars from the dates provide the ideal boost of energy you need in the morning, perfectly kickstarting your day and your metabolism.
3. Tahini Chocolate-Chip Cookie Recipe
Tahini is a fantastic addition to baked recipes, and give these chocolate chip cookies the most wonderful nutty flavour and creamy texture. The sea salt and rich dark chocolate chunks also render these cookies impossibly moreish. They are flour-free. dairy-free, and derive their sweetness from maple syrup. Curl up with a mug of tea on a rainy, or for that matter, any type of day, and indulge!
4. Salted Caramel Tahini Truffles
Another excuse to utilize the beautiful flavour and texture of tahini paste are with these mouth-watering truffles. They have no added sugar, and are vegan and gluten free as well. These treats are perfect for a special occasion, I love to serve these at dinner parties at the end of the meal with some mint tea or cups of coffee.
5. Raspberry Swirl Yogurt Pops
Greek yogurt is very low in fat compared to cream, and has endless health benefits such as building immunity with its probiotics and mineral profile. The creaminess of the yogurt combined with the tang of the raspberry makes for a scrumptious and refreshing treat on a hot summer’s day. Mmm…scrummy!
