Sweet Potato Vegan Cupcakes
Before I go on to talk about these sweet potato vegan cupcakes, I would just like to say that If I was a sweet potato, I would be utterly offended by those out there who ignorantly fail to see the difference between me and the common old white one. For one, sweet potatoes, when sliced,… Continue reading Sweet Potato Vegan Cupcakes
Mince Pie Crumbles
The reason I’ve given these vegan mince pie crumbles a crumbly top is because a) crumble is the don and b) I’m not actually good at ensuring the pastry case and the pastry top cook at the same time. Either the top is too brown and the case is perfect or the case is too… Continue reading Mince Pie Crumbles

Salted Caramel Butter Bean Blondies (vegan | gluten-free | grain-free | refined sugar-free)
When it comes to beans and pulses, chickpeas seem to get the most attention. The other beans are just left behind, pondering in limbo, not being given the credit that they quite frankly deserve. For example the butter bean: creamy, sweet, smooth no unpleasant bitterness or earthy flavours, quite simply, a blank canvas to turn… Continue reading Salted Caramel Butter Bean Blondies (vegan | gluten-free | grain-free | refined sugar-free)
