Chocolate Chip Blondies

April 14, 2018 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Chocolate chip blondies, resplendent in all their gooey perfection. It really is hit and miss to give these the exact right amount of time in the oven. They have to be cooked through but equally, no point in a blondie (or brownie) if they are more like a cake texture – they just have to…

Quinoa Crunch Bars

Remember ‘Crunch’ bars growing up? I think they were my favourite. Crunchy and chocolatey but not too rich – yum. So here I give you… the healthy version: Quinoa Crunch Bars. As long as you have a good food processor, these are easy to make. Quinoa is such an awesome source of plant-based protein, and…

Blueberry Banana Bread

May 14, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

                        I had a heap of blueberries in my fridge and some ripe bananas so I thought I’d use my classic banana bread recipe and add blueberries. If you want a more chocolatey version, see here. This one is so light and fluffy and…

Chocolate & Peanut Butter Drizzled Banana Bread

April 10, 2017 by theorganicspoon 1 Comment

This is basically exactly the same as my usual banana bread (gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free and vegan), I just added a bit of peanut butter and chocolate drizzles to the top because, why not! It sank a bit in the middle which is really annoying when you make something so pretty, but…

April 1, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Braxton is leaving his childminder this week and starting nursery – eek!! I didn’t know what to get the lovely ladies at the childminder so decided to make them some nice things and package them nicely as a thank you. I made them these and some chocolate truffles – I hope they like them and…

Vegan Pumpkin Donuts

November 5, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Yup, so this actually happened in my kitchen today!! I’d been seeing a lot of pictures of donuts around and my friend Deepa at GirlBoyFoodBaby made some healthy donuts also, so I decided to give it a go. I wanted to make them using pumpkin (had a bee in my bonnet) so that they were…

Vanilla Berry Ice Lollies

August 19, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

If there is one thing I miss about dairy, it’s ice cream! Especially during hot summer days; there’s nothing better. So I decided to make my own. I’ve made smoothie lollies before and fruit lollies but I wanted something creamier, like good old-fashioned ice creams and I came up with this idea. It literally couldn’t…

Flapjacks For Breastfeeding Mamas (& everyone else!)

July 29, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

My friend just had a baby and was really determined to make breastfeeding work. I always found that the best gift anyone could bring me after having the baby was food. And healthy food. You don’t have time to cook so you just have to take whatever anyone gives you or whatever is convenient which…

Mint Chocolate Energy Balls & Some Info On Essential Oils

July 22, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

I’m loving my essential oils at the moment – I’ve really been getting into EOs since finding that Frankincense helped my postpartum arthritis flare as it’s such a great anti-inflammatory. I made a Frankincense oil rub for my joints by mixing it with coconut oil (this is called using a carrier oil to dilute the…
