🧈 DIY Whipped Vegan Butter
A super quick & easy swap for butter in a recipe, you can do a straight swap for coconut oil, or Spectrum palm shortening, but in actuality real butter contains water (not just fat!

Oat-Free Rhubarb Crisp/Crumble
It’s that time of year!! I was gifted some fresh rhubarb last night, so that means… … rhubarb crisp!! (Or crumble, or whatever you like to call it. It’s so delicious fresh from the oven with a cold scoop of vanilla ice cream. Yum!!). Here we pair the rhubarb with some fresh strawberries and blackberries that we had in our fridge, but rhubarb pairs super well with any berry, or even apples - something sweet that plays well with the sourness of the rhubarb.

Nuts & Seeds Cookies
Let’s try another recipe that has been all over my YouTube fyp recently, stating “I don't eat sugar! Healthy cookies without flour or sugar! Energy dessert recipe!” Looking at the ingredients, they are basically a bunch of mixed nuts & seeds held together with a bit of honey. And some are dipped in dark chocolate. So what’s not to like about that? (Unless you don’t eat honey - then try this with your favourite sticky sweetener instead). After trying them out, I have to say, t
