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…

Banana Oat Loaf

January 26, 2018 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

I really didn’t know what to call this. I attempted to make a loaf that was like banana bread but more oaty, made from breakfast porridge oats, and add apple and cinnamon flavours to it. It still tastes like banana bread, just different. But amazing! I am not even exaggerating when I tell you it…

Happy new year foodies! Sorry it’s been so long since our last post. I had a baby in October and took a bit of a break from the kitchen and Raine is now studying to be a yoga teacher so we’ve both been pretty busy but we’re back and will be posting once a week…

Chocolate Birthday Cake with Berry Chia Jam & Chocolate Mousse Icing

March 10, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

For my son’s first birthday I made a cake without refined sugar but still used stoneground wheat flour and organic butter. Last year for his second birthday I was determined to come up with a completely clean cake recipe, so I began The Cake Trials (which you may have seen if you followed my old…

Choc-Chip Sweet Potato Cookies

February 17, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

If you’ve read my Joburg recommendations in the “Two Kitchens Loves” page, you’ll know that I am a big fan of the Organic Emporium in Bryanston. It has replaced regular supermarkets for my day-to-day grocery shopping. The owner, Debbie, is so passionate about the work she does, it’s hard not to get caught up in…

Chocolate ‘Nice’ Cream & Overnight Oats Breakfast Parfait

February 7, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Oh how I love a breakfast parfait. It’s so important to get your protein in in the morning, I’d say especially if you’re a veggie but it’s for anyone really. It’s the most important time of day to have a good protein intake so most of my breakfasts are packed with plant-based protein. I see…
