Nutty Puffed Rice Cacao Bites

May 2, 2019 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

My names for these things are getting more and more hilarious as time goes on. Honestly, I get a bee in my bonnet about using a certain ingredient (this time puffed brown rice) then just throw something together and hope for this best but then struggle to give them a fitting (and short enough) name!…

Chai Spiced Baked Oatmeal

February 26, 2019 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Porridge, overnight oats, oat smoothies, banana oat loaf, oaty bites, oat cookies, granola, flapjacks – not much you can’t do when it comes to variation with oats. And now I bring you baked oatmeal. Whatta brekkie! Y’all know I love my chai flavours so I threw some cardamom, cinnamon and saffron in there and topped…

Sweet Potato & Pumpkin Seed Breakfast Biscuits

January 14, 2019 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

It’s hard finding things to eat for breakfast when you don’t eat gluten or dairy (or refined sugar), and tend to keep it plant-based. My dear friend Denise, yoga instructor and essential oils guru, gave me the idea for these and I put my own little spin on her wonderful original recipe, and it’s given…

Chai Spiced Granola

October 16, 2018 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

I’m such a granola fanatic. Can’t stop making it – all sorts of flavours! You can see all my granola recipes here. The most popular one is the probably the classic maple and pecan, but I’m hoping this Chai Spiced Granola makes it up there on your lists too, it’s just delicious! I love chai…

Pistachio & Sweet Cardamom Milk

January 17, 2018 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

How have I never made pistachio milk before now? I had a huge amount of pistachios left over from Christmas and didn’t know what to do with them (other than eat too many in one go), so I decided to attempt a new milk and was more than pleasantly surprised. Pistachios have a huge amount…

Everyday Superfood & Adaptogen Smoothie (That Tastes Like Banana Peanut Butter Milkshake!)

October 2, 2017 by theorganicspoon 1 Comment

NOTE: PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT ADDING SUPERFOODS One of the questions I get the most is what goes in my morning smoothie and what’s the best way to start the day for children. I’m a busy mum, we certainly don’t have time for fancy buckwheat pancakes or beetroot waffles every day! But…

It’s Autumn! The time of year for boots, fluffy cardigans, cosy nights in, warming drinks, comfort food and amazing, warming flavours like cinnamon and star anise. Apples are in abundance right now as well, so make sure to pick them off trees when you see them. You all know I love to make my own…

Zucchini Bread – GF, DF, SF

August 19, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Zucchini Bread has a much better ring to it than Courgette Bread, don’t you think? Maybe you think that ‘Courgette’ sounds nicer, and more French, than Zucchini? But after years of deliberating, I have decided that I prefer ‘Zucchini’, despite the fact that I am British and should be calling it courgette. Well, I’ve never…

Apricot & Coconut Buckwheat Granola

February 5, 2017 by theorganicspoon 1 Comment

I’m obsessed with granola and have been making yummy granola with oats for years (check out the recipe here) but I’ve never made it with Buckwheat before and I’m not sure why. It’s much lower GI and more easily digestible and despite having ‘wheat’ in its name, it’s not wheat at all, it is in…
