Raw, date free, salted caramel slice!

At last, at last it’s here at last!

Raw {Date Free} Salted Caramel Slice - Gluten Free - Dairy Free - Refined Sugar Free - Low Carb - Vegan - Keto - Paleo - www.betterwithcake.com

 

I could not be more excited to share this recipe with you today.

It’s one that I’ve been working on for weeks I tell you, WEEKS!

I’m not exactly sure who/what/where or how I got the idea to make a date free salted caramel slice but, I somehow I got it and couldn’t for the life of me seem to shake it so, date free salted caramel slice had to be made.

It took a few attempts to get it just how I wanted I’m happy to say that I got there in the end!

Subtly sweet, silky smooth, lightly salted caramel sits on a deliciously nutty, cinnamon spiked base and finished with a decadent and rich, cool, crisp, dark chocolate coating . . .

Raw {Date Free} Salted Caramel Slice - Gluten Free - Dairy Free - Refined Sugar Free - Low Carb - Vegan - Keto - Paleo - www.betterwithcake.com

You guys, this slice . . . so insanely delicious that simply saying it’s delicious doesn’t even come close to doing it the justice it deserves.

And oh my word, talk about quick and easy to make!

🌟Toast 🌟 Blend 🌟 Press 🌟 Blend 🌟 Pour 🌟 Melt 🌟 Chill 🌟 Devour!

Honestly, the hardest part about making this slice is waiting for it to chill/set – believe me when I say the struggle is real but also, 100% worth it!

Raw {Date Free} Salted Caramel Slice - Gluten Free - Dairy Free - Refined Sugar Free - Low Carb - Vegan - Keto - Paleo - www.betterwithcake.com

Now, I know, I know I’ve said this is a raw caramel slice and then I’m going to go ahead and tell you to roast/toast your cashews and almonds before making your base but, that step is totally optional although I do highly recommend it. Toasting your nuts before making the base makes it next level delicious.  Yes, it will take an extra 5-10 mins but, if you ask me, it’s 100% worth it!

Honestly you guys, I’m not sure what more there is to tell you . . .

Raw {Date Free} Salted Caramel Slice - Gluten Free - Dairy Free - Refined Sugar Free - Low Carb - Vegan - Keto - Paleo - www.betterwithcake.com

Quick and easy, secretly healthy, salted caramel slice that comes together in a matter minutes, is made with no refined flours or sugars, using just a handful of ingredients that I bet you have on hand already, is gluten free,  dairy free, refined sugar free, vegan, low carb, keto & paleo friendly and tastes like an absolute dream . . .

Raw {Date Free} Salted Caramel Slice

  • Prep Time: 40 mins
  • Difficulty: Easy

  • Ingredients
  • For the base –
  • 1/4 cup of raw almonds
  • 1/4 cup of raw cashews
  • 1 Tablespoon of hemp seeds – optional
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla
  • 1 tsp of water
  • 1 pinch of cinnamon  – measure with your heart
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • For the filling –
  • 1/2 cup of almond butter
  • 2 Tablespoons of coconut oil
  • 1 Tablespoon of maple syrup – I use sugar free/monk fruit maple
  • 1 Tablespoon of vanilla
  • 1/4 teaspoon of flaky sea salt – omit if using salted almond butter
  • Optional add-ins ;
  • 1 teaspoon of maca – an extra touch of sweetness and its great for energy & hormone balance
  • 1-2 scoops (Tablespoons) of unflavoured collagen = for an extra boost of protein and is great for hair, skin, nails & gut health – omit if vegan & use marine collagen if pescatarian
  • For the topping –
  • 1/4 cup of dark chocolate
  • 1 Tablespoon of coconut oil – optional
  • 1/4-1/2 tsp instant espresso – optional
  • Flaky sea salt
  1. Instruction
  2. Optional – lightly toast cashews and almonds – either on a lined baking tray at 175’C/350’F for 5-10 mins or just throw them into a dry fry-pan/skillet (make sure you toss them around occasionally so they don’t catch and burn on one side)  until lightly golden and deliciously fragrant.
  3. Place almonds and cashews into your food processor or blender and process until they break down into a fine, sandy-looking crumb
  4. Add hemp seeds, if using, along with your vanilla, water, cinnamon and salt and process again until a sticky “dough” forms
  5. Press base mixture into a lined loaf pan then pop it into the freezer while you make your filling
    Note – I have a little 13x8cm pan and it was the perfect size) – or, if you don’t want to have to bother with cutting your slice you could just spoon it into little chocolate moulds or even line a mini muffin tin with paper cupcake cakes – either will work just fine
  6. Place all filling ingredients into your food processor /blender and process until deliciously creamy and well combined
  7. Spoon/pour/spread salted caramel filling onto your base and pop it back into the freezer to set while you make your dark and delicious chocolate topping
  8. Melt chocolate and coconut oil by your preferred method – I like to do mine over the stove, double broiler style but the microwave works fine too #youdoyou
  9. Once your chocolate topping is melted, pour over salted caramel/base, sprinkle with sea salt and return the the freezer for 20-30 minutes to set.
  10. Slice – Devour – Enjoy xo

Note – this slice definitely needs to be kept refrigerated (I like to keep and eat mine straight from the freezer)  but it will keep well refrigerated for 7-10 days , although I highly doubt it will last that long. It can be frozen for a good 3-6 months.

Chocolate. Golden spiced. Banana bread.

Can you say yummmmmmmm?!

Please tell me that I’m not the only one who finds it incredibly satisfying to transform those sad, sorry looking, manky over-ripe bananas into something so glorious and delicious like banana bread?!

The spices alone make this loaf next level delicious – It almost has a gingerbread type taste to it which of course makes my heart (and belly) all kinds of happy because Christmas is my favorite!

But, we don’t stop there!

Next, we add just a touch of cacao, you know, for those all important antioxidants of course 😉 and well, why not?!

Chocolate Golden Spiced Banana Bread {Gluten Free - Grain Free - Refined Sugar Free - Keto & Paleo Freiendly} - www.betterwithcake.com

I’m pretty sure we can all agree that chocolate in any way, shape or form just makes everything better , right?!

The sweetness of those bananas combined with that golden spice blend and the slight richness of the cacao just marries so perfectly together.

Oh my word, you guys . . . what a day/week/month it’s been!

I am so sorry for skipping out on your these last few weeks, I won’t bore you with the details but, boy-O-boy things have been a little cray, cray up in here!

For reals!

It seems that no matter how organized I think I am, how much I plan, or how hard I try, something always seem to come up to throw a spanner in the works!

Tell me that I’m not the only one who has days/weeks/months like this?!

It’s been one thing after another . . . “oi with the poodles already!” (please tell me you get my Gilmore Girls reference?!)

Anyway, it’s times like these that I am extremely thankful for recipes like this . . .

But let me tell you, these simple little lettuce cups are packed with so much flavor that your taste buds, tummy and anyone you share them with, will be all kinds of happy.

I’m talking major dorky happy dancing will be happening all over the dining room – or kitchen in my case, which is exactly what happened here the first time I made these.

What, doesn’t everyone get this excited about food?!

Admit it, you know you do – that’s one of the reasons I love you so much  😉

Speaking of love . . .

These curry chicken lettuce cups . . .

Serve them simply as they are ( and if you wanted to go ahead and add a couple of slices of crispy bacon to the mix I wouldn’t be mad about it – seriously, let’s do that because, BACON!!!!!)

Or, you could eat it with some of your favorite crackers, plantain or tortilla chips, roll it up in a tortilla, serve it on toast or as a sandwich for a quick and easy yet seriously satisfying, super simple lunch.

Or, you could enjoy it with some perfectly roasted pumpkin or crisp and crunchy roasted baby potatoes and garlic roasted Brussels sprouts and have yourself an absolutely amazing dinner.

However you choose to eat it you really can’t go wrong!

All natural, quick and easy, light, fresh, crisp and crunchy, creamy, dreamy, perfectly spiced curry chicken lettuce cups . . . .

5 Minute, 3 Ingredient Curry Chicken Lettuce Cups

{Low Carb – Gluten Free – Dairy Free – Keto & Paleo Friendly}

Makes  2 – 4 all natural, quick and easy, light, fresh, creamy, dreamy, crispy, crunchy, seriously flavorful lettuce cups. (1-2 servings)

Ingredients –

1 cup of cooked chicken – chopped or shredded

For the dressing –

2 Tablespoons of mayo – Homemade or store bought will work –  ( I use Primal Kitchen Foods – {Paleo} Avocado Oil Mayo) ** – could sub coconut or Greek style yogurt

1 teaspoon of your fave curry/Indian spice mix

A squeeze of lime juice (about 1/2 teaspoon)

Salt and pepper to taste

For serving –

Baby coz or butter lettuce leaves, washed and dried

1/2 an avocado, sliced

1-2 Tablespoons of pomegranate arils – fresh or freeze dried
*You could sub dried cranberries, cherries or even red grapes would work here too

Coriander (cilantro)

Method –

1 – Place all of the dressing ingredients into a small bowl or glass jar and stir to combine.

The dressing is quite thick so feel free to add a splash of water (or milk of choice) about 1/2 tsp at a time, to reach desired consistency.  I usually take 1/2-2/3 of the dressing and stir it into the chicken before thinning out the rest to drizzle over the top;

1 – This helps the salad mix hold together nicely in my lettuce cup and,

2 – No one likes a watery salad!!

Then I thin it out whats leftover to drizzle over the top, because I love me a good drizzle!

2 – Place your cooked chicken into a small bowl, add 1/2-2/3 of the dressing and stir to combine.

3 – To serve – Place a few slices of avocado into your prepared lettuce cups, top with your creamy, dreamy, chicken salad, sprinkle with fresh coriander, pomegranate arils and drizzle over the last of that dreamy dressing!

Enjoy xo

These spicy tuna, tahini and lime salad lettuce cups are so quick and easy to prepare but they are so insanely delicious, packed with so much flavor that your pretty little head may just explode!

You guys know how much I love a good lettuce wrap (see 👉🏻 here , 👉🏻 here, 👉🏻 here and 👉🏻 here ) and these bad boys are my latest obsession.

One taste and I know you will be as in love with them as I am!

Especially that light, fresh, creamy, dreamy, garlic infused, tahini and lime dressing . . . oh my word! 😍😍😍

The combination of that deliciously creamy, slightly nutty tahini combined with a pinch of garlic, a sprinkling of red pepper flakes and light. freshy, zesty squeeze of lime is absolute perfection!

I seriously want to take a bath in that dressing.

Ok maybe not, especially considering that there are red pepper flakes are involved . . . but I think you get the point!

It’s seriously good!

So good in fact, you might want to go ahead make yourself a double – triple – quadruple batch because if you’re anything like me (which I’m pretty sure you are seeings as we are food and fitness lovin’, invisible internet BFF’s and all)  you are going to want to eat it on allllll of the things! #cantstop #notsorry

It’s such a quick and easy way to add a tonne of flavor to a delicious, nutritious, 5 minute meal!

Serve them simply as they are or, for a heartier meal you cold roll it into a tortilla,  load them on to a slice or two of your favorite bread, or a couple of crackers for a quick and easy yet seriously satisfying, flavor packed lunch.

Or you could even serve them along with some light and fluffy cauliflower rice (or regular rice or quinoa if you prefer) and garlic roasted Brussels sprouts and have yourself an absolutely amazing dinner.

I personally adore them served straight up as they are, in all their unadorned, simplistic (slightly messy) glory. I love the contrast in texture and the cool, crisp freshness that those crunchy little lettuce leaves bring to the table – but play around, do what you feel just promise me you’ll make them sooner rather than later.

However you choose to eat them you really can’t go wrong!

There’s just so much much to love I tell you!

And oh how I do dearly love thee, let me count the ways . . .

Spicy Tuna, Tahini & Lime Salad Lettuce Cups
{Low Carb – Gluten Free – Keto & Paleo Friendly}

Makes (1 serving) of 2 – 3 all natural, quick and easy, light, fresh, seriously flavorful, sweet and spicy lettuce cups.

Ingredients –

For the salad –

1 large (or 2 small) cans of tuna – drained

6 baby tomatoes, quartered.

1/2 a small carrot, grated

1/4 cup red cabbage, finely shredded

For the dressing –

2 Tablespoons of tahini

1/2-1 teaspoon of garlic powder

A squeeze of lime juice (about 1/2 teaspoon)

A pinch of red pepper flakes

Salt and pepper to taste

For serving –

Baby coz or butter lettuce leaves, washed and dried

1/4-1/2 an avocado, sliced

1 small red chili, sliced

Red pepper (chili) flakes

Coriander (cilantro)

Method –

1 – Place all of the dressing ingredients into a small bowl or glass jar and stir to combine.

The dressing is quite thick so feel free to add a splash of water (about 1/2 tsp at a time) to reach desired consistency.  I usually take 1 Tablespoon of the dressing and stir it into the tuna salad mix before thinning it out. 1 – this helps the salad mix hold together nicely in my lettuce cup  and 2 – no one likes a watery tuna salad!!) then I thin it out to drizzle over the top.

FYI – you will have a little extra dressing, especially if you don’t do the extra drizzle when serving (but please do the drizzle!).

2 – Place your tuna along with 3/4 of your carrot, cabbage and tomatoes into a small and stir to combine.

3 -Add about a Tablespoon of your tahini and lime dressing into your tuna salad mix and stir to combine.

4 – To serve – Place a few slices of avocado into your prepared lettuce cups, top with your super tasty tuna salad, add the rest of your carrot, cabbage and tomato them sprinkle with fresh coriander, extra chili (or chili flakes) and drizzle over a little more of that divine tahini and lime dressing!

Enjoy xo

If you’re looking for an all natural, deliciously simple, decadent, rich, creamy, dreamy, velvety smooth, seriously chocolaty, perfectly spiced, secretly healthy treat that’s decadent enough to be enjoyed as a cheeky little, late night indulgence, yet healthy enough to serve for breakfast then look no further my friend, I have just what you need.

Chocolate chai spiced chia pudding!!!!!

Try saying that 10 times fast?!

I don’t know if it’s because the weather is getting cooler as we head into winter here in Sydney but, for some reason I find myself seriously craving all things chai!

I just can’t seem to get enough.

So in an attempt to satisfy my never ending craving for chai (and chocolate) I thought I would make myself a delicious little pudding cup.

Because who doesn’t love a good pudding cup (and chocolate) am I right?!

And, ummmm, you guys . . .

Best idea, ever!

This chocolate chai spiced chia pudding is seriously, incredible!

It’s decadent, rich, subtly sweet, deliciously indulgent and seriously chocolatey with the perfect hum of chai inspired spices.

So, SO good!

And, you know what makes it even better?!

The fact that it also happens to be seriously (and I mean S E R I O U S L Y ) good for you!

It’s made with no refined flours or sugars, sweetened naturally with just a splash of vanilla and those chai inspired spices.

Also, because I’ve used coconut yogurt and vanilla almond milk in our base it also happens to be 100% dairy free, vegan, gluten free and paleo friendly!

And then there’s all those incredible health benefits that those cheeky little chia seeds bring to the party – It’s rich in antioxidants, packed with protein, high in calcium, fiber, magnesium and those all important omega 3’s!

Super-food say whaaaaatttt?!

So much to love I tell you and love it you will!

This pudding would make the perfect little, deliciously indulgent, late night dessert but, it’s also light enough to enjoy for breakfast especially if you serve it with some coconut yogurt, a sprinkling of this cranberry and coconut {grain free} granola and a giant vat cup of coffee, of course.

Chocolate pudding for breakfast = winning!!!

It also makes a killer post workout (or anytime) snack.

I mean would you just look at it?!

Swoon!!

Those of you who have been following along for a while now may recall that I have some weird, texture issues with straight up chia pudding. Same goes for porridge/oatmeal.  As much as I want to, I just can’t do it which is why I always end up blending it. That way it gets thick, creamy, velvety smooth and all kinds of delicious! Texture issues be gone baby!

So, if you don’t have the same texture issues that I do you can go ahead and skip the blending stage. It’s totally up to you, 100% your call. Blending it doesn’t change the flavor of our pudding so go ahead and do what you feel, just promise me you’ll make it, and soon, OK?!

All natural, quick and easy, creamy, dreamy, velvety smooth, decadent and rich, seriously chocolaty, perfectly spiced, secretly healthy chocolate chai spiced chia pudding . . .

Make it. Eat it. Love, love, love it.

Chocolate Chai Spiced Chia Pudding
{Vegan, Dairy Free & Paleo Friendly
Makes approx 2 serves of all natural, thick and creamy, decadent, rich, velvety smooth,  seriously chocolatey, secretly healthy, perfectly spiced chia pudding

Ingredients –

1/4 cup of coconut yogurt (or Greek style yogurt)

1/3 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or milk of choice)

3 Tablespoons of  chia seeds

1 Tablespoon of cacao

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or 4-6 drops of Vanilla Cream Stevia – I use Sweet Leaf Stevia

1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon

1 pinch of nutmeg –  I used 1/2 of my 1/8th teaspoon

1 pinch of cardamom –  I used 1/2 of my 1/8th teaspoon

1 pinch of cloves –  I used 1/2 of my 1/8th teaspoon

1/4 teaspoon of espresso – optional

A pinch of salt

Optional but recommended for serving;

1 teaspoon of shredded dark chocolate  (or cacao nibs)

Coconut yogurt (or yogurt of choice)

Chia seeds

Method –

1 – Place all pudding ingredients into a small bowl or jug and stir to combine.

2 – Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, (or overnight). Make sure you go and give it a little stir every now and again to remove any lumps and just to make sure those cheeky little chia seeds haven’t settled at the bottom of the bowl.

3 – Once your pudding is nice and thick, place the mixture into your food processor or blender and process until smooth and creamy. If you don’t have texture issues like me you can skip this step and simply stir and serve as is.

Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary, you could add a little maple syrup, honey or some extra stevia/vanilla if you like your pudding on the sweeter side.

4 – Pour your pudding mixture into cute little cups or bowls and place it back in the fridge for at least 30 minutes chill and re-set before serving (it gets a little warm and the consistency thins out with the friction created while blending).

6 – To serve, top with coconut yogurt (or yogurt of choice),if using, sprinkle with chocolate (or cacao nibs) and some extra cheeky chia seeds if desired.

Enjoy xoxo
