On the weekend we make … COOKIES! These are so easy to make, require just a handful of ingredients, are free from gluten, dairy, refined sugar and eggs, and are super delicious. A friend who is staying with us right now said they’re the best cookies I’ve ever made and I also made a few…

Salted Double Chocolate Pecan Cookies

May 9, 2020 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Well, after being woken up at 4am this morning (it’s usually 5am), I decided to make the most of it and be productive. So I made cookies at 7am while the kids ate breakfast. I have to admit, I usually stick to my oaty cookie recipe and use that base for any cookie recipe, just…

Coconut & Sultana Peanut Butter Cookies

May 23, 2018 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

This was one of those recipes I was sure was set to be a failure. I just wanted to throw something together to make some healthy cookies for the week, but I really fancied something different to the other cookies on the blog. Thankfully (because I HATE wasting ingredients) they turned out scrumptious, despite my…

Vegan Chocolate Frosted Brownies

August 30, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Is there anything more satisfying than an indulgent chocolate brownie? How about when you know that said brownie is free of refined sugar, gluten, wheat, grains, dairy, eggs, soya and preservatives? Sound good? How about if I tell you that they are SUPER easy to make? Sold? Great! Get baking! Surprising though it may sound,…

Moroccan Halva (Tahini) & Cardamom Cookies

August 1, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

These gluten, dairy, sugar free & vegan Israeli / Moroccan inspired Halva (tahini) and cardamom cookies epitomise the tastes of my upbringing. There are many benefits to being brought up in an Israeli / Moroccan household. Without a doubt, one of the best ones is the food. I don’t know of many people who don’t…

Vegan Lemon & Poppy Seed Muffins

August 30, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

I love muffins and cupcakes, but I try to stay away from the ones packed with refined sugar, gluten and dairy these days. My favourite was always lemon and poppy seed so I thought I’d try to make my own today. I’m loving using my Natvia natural sugar substitute and wanted to try it in…

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

April 26, 2016 by theorganicspoon 3 Comments

These need very little introduction! They are by far the best cookies I’ve ever made and I honestly just threw the ingredients together as I was in such a rush so it was hard for me to remember the exact measurements! They are egg, soya, gluten, dairy and sugar free (depending on what chocolate chips…

Homemade Chocolate Sauce (The Healthy Version!)

February 12, 2015 by theorganicspoon 9 Comments

I use this sauce for so many of my recipes from brownies to cookies and cakes. It’s a staple, and so easy to make. Once you have the ingredients you’ll whip this up so often. You can dip strawberries in and use it for fondu even! Ingredients 1/4 cup coconut oil 1/4 cup cacao powder…
