BANANA BREAD GRANOLA
Sweetened with just bananas and a little honey, this granola tastes amazing with yoghurt/kefir and some fresh berries. The nuts and seeds provide lots of lovely fats, protein and fibre alongside the complex carbs from the oats to help keep you feeling fuller for longer.
BAKED EGG LOAF
You can use up any left over veggies you have lying around to make this. I prefer making this in a loaf tin but you can also make them into muffins. Simply divide the mixture into muffin cases instead. A great recipe for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
GINGER ENERGY BALLS
Bring a spicy boost to your day with these delicious Ginger Energy Balls - great for an on-the-go snack.
WINTER SPICE GRANOLA
This granola tastes like Christmas in a bowl and will be fuelling my mornings over the next few weeks and probably months too!
RHUBARB, GINGER & ORANGE COMPOTE
I love the colours in this recipe and it always reminds me of the start of summer. Rhubarb can be quite tart so feel free to add more maple/honey if you like your compotes quite sweet. This could be a great breakfast, dessert or snack addition and feel free to experiment with different flavours or toppings too!
BAKED GRANOLA BARS
I developed this recipe for a client who was looking for a nutritious sweeter snack option and I loved them so much I wanted to share the recipe with you all. Super simple to make and feel free to substitute the nuts, seeds and dried fruit for alternative varieties if you prefer.
APPLE, PEAR AND GINGER COMPOTE
My aunt and uncle dropped round some homegrown apples which I immediately made into a compote with pear and grated ginger to add to my breakfasts. I would recommend keeping the skins on for the extra fibre and feel free to incorporate other fruits/spices for added variety. Some people find fruit easier to digest when cooked and ginger has a wonderfully soothing effect on the digestive system.
CHOCOLATE ORANGE GRANOLA
This makes the flat smell like brownies and is unbelievably moreish. If you like chunky granola, leave to cool completely once cooked without stirring before breaking it up into clusters. It will last a few weeks in an airtight container too.
SLOW ROASTED TOMATOES WITH POMEGRANATE MOLASSES AND THYME
This is incredibly simple to make and leave cooking for a few hours. The addition of pomegranate molasses transforms the tomatoes making them irresistibly sweet and tangy. They work well on toast or as an accompaniment with fish, meat, other grains and pulses etc.
BANANA BREAD
Banana bread appears to be one of the most popular baking choices in lockdown. This recipe isn’t too sweet and has a slightly nutty taste - perfect for breakfast/snacks. I love this toasted with nut butter or yoghurt and fresh berries.
CARDAMOM GRANOLA
I absolutely love the taste of cardamom and it makes this granola extra special. I like nutty granola but please feel free to add in any other toppings e.g. dried fruits, coconut flakes, spices etc. This will last in an airtight container for weeks.
STEWED PEARS WITH GINGER
The combination of these two ingredients is delightful. Pear gives a natural sweetness with the slight kick from the ginger. The pears go lovely and soft the longer you stew them and feel free to add in more or less ginger depending on your preference.
