Perfect for those moments when you need a blondie (or 2) but don’t want to bake, or can’t be trusted with ( ← tell me I’m not the only one?!), an entire batch of 12-24.

Subtly sweet, deliciously buttery, crispy on the top, super fudgy in middle and chock full of choc chips

They’re ooey, gooey & all kinds of wonderful and yes, you NEED them!

Made with no refined flours or sugars using just a handful of ingredients that I bet you have on hand already & come together in 1 bowl, with 1 spoon, ready to devour in just 20 mins!

Feel free to double-triple-quadruple the batch if you’re feeding a crowd (or have the self control of a saint) – just make sure you adjust the bake time accordingly – and although they taste ah-maze-zing cold and re-heat like an absolute dream – they’re so quick and easy to make and I think you and I can both agree that nothing quite compares to that new, new, freshly baked, ooey, gooey goodness.

Also, made primarily with eggs & nut butter = totally acceptable for breakfast consumption. Living our best working from home, schooling from home, lockdown lives up in here!

If you do one more thing today, please let it be making these!

Super simple, SUPER delicious and I hope you love them as much as I do which FYI, is A LOT!

From my heart to yours, enjoy xo

You guys, this smoothie . . . honestly, I have no words!

Subtly sweet, seriously creamy, spiked with the perfect hit of vanilla, a hint of minty freshness & it’s choc-full of choc chips!

You can’t beat a classic like cookies and cream & adding a touch of matcha, a hint of mint + some extra chocolate = best idea, ever!

A matcha made in heaven! Sorry #notsorry it had to be done!

Not only does it taste incredible but, it also packs a nutritional punch!

It’s rich in antioxidants, high in calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron & fiber.

It’s a natural anti-inflammatory!

Great for stabilizing blood sugar, balancing hormones, enhancing mood, aid concentration & restoring energy levels (both mental & physical).

And, it’s packed with protein & gut healing goodness!

Super smoothie say whatt?!

So much goodness in one pretty little cup!

Healthified or not, I can’t think of a better way to celebrate St Patricks day or just kick start your day than with a cup of this deliciousness!

You in?! Of course you are, you’re cool like that!

Gluten Free – Dairy Free (if you want) – BANANA FREE (!!) – DATE FREE – Sugar free –  Low carb – Paleo – Keto – 100% vegan friendly! But most importantly it really tastes like an absolute dream and St Patricks day celebrating or not, you need it in your life because, yum!

The batter for these {low carb – sugar free} strawberry funfetti donuts comes together as quickly as a traditional, everyday muffin mix or cake batter and is made with just a handful of ingredients that I bet you have on hand already!

Healthy enough to serve for breakfast (with a big ol’ vat of coffee, of course) , the perfect mid morning or post workout pick me up , the perfect cure for 330itis but, as healthy as they are, they’re indulgent enough to enjoy for a cheeky little late-night treat (with a cup of spiced decaf mocha moon mylk for me please)!

Choc fudge lava cookies with a fun and festive candy cane crunch!

Which is totally optional unless you’re Eve because girlfriend is OBSESSED with candy canes.

Honestly, I’m not sure which she gets more excited about . . .

Presents on Christmas day or the month-long candy cane fest that is December?!

I know when it comes to choc-mint it’s one of those flavours that you either love it, or you really, REALLY don’t!

I personally am not a big choc mint fan but, come December, I do love a good peppermint mocha. Although It has to be heavy on the coffee, heavy on the chocolate with just a hint of minty freshness.

What about you? Are you, like Eve, a choc mint lover?

If your more team choc less mint then just skip the candy cane. The choc fudge lava brookie is where the magic lives anyway.

And let me tell you, these choc fudge lava brookies are pure magic.

They’re subtly sweet, super fudgy, seriously chocolaty  . . .

And then we have that dreamy little surprise inside . . .

You guys . . . how have I never made lava cookies before?

I guess I always thought they sounded a little fancy and beyond my skill level but when Eve suggested we stuff each mound of cookie dough with a square of dark chocolate . . . My girl is smart I tell you, she did me proud  . . . I mean, can you even  . . .

Super simple to make using just a handful of ingredients that I bet you have on hand already and come together in 1 bowl with 1 spoon and bake up to delicious, delectable, devourable perfection in just 8-10 short minutes but there is a catch . . .

The trick to getting the choc fudge lava cookie of Eve’s dreams is that you do have to chill the dough before baking . . . You can freeze for 30 minutes or refrigerate for 1-2 hours . . .

Will waiting be a little difficult? Possibly for some (some being Eve and I)!
Will it be worth it? Absolutely,  100%, without question, so, SO worth it!

NOTE – You can totally chill for longer than 1-2 hours, if it’s getting late here’s what I suggest you do, run to the kitchen, mix them up now, it will take 2 minutes. Tuck your fine self into bed have an amazing sleep, dreaming of the choc fudge lava cookies you’ll get to devour that very next morning.

Wake up, roll out of bed, wash your pretty face, stuff and roll your cookie dough, then in 8-10 minutes your early morning coffee drinking, cookie eating self will be totally high-five-ing your last nights self for putting in the (2 minutes) work to mix up and chill the dough for your fresh-faced self to enjoy this morning.

And yes, made primarily with egg and nut butter (and a cheeky pinch of espresso) means they are totally acceptable for breakfast consumption plus candy cane crumble = minty fresh breath so you don’t even to worry about brushing your teeth after . . . OK maybe not, please still brush your teeth, always, but the occasional cookie for breakfast in December is OK by me.

FYI – this topped with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream would be an amazing make-ahead Christmas dessert too.

Subtly sweet, deliciously indulgent, secretly healthy, choc fudge cookies with a ooey, gooey, dreamy little surprise inside  . . .

Gluten Free – Dairy Free – Grain Free – Refined Sugar Free – Low Carb – Keto – Paleo – Vegan Friendly

From my family to yours, enjoy xo

These super fudgy chocolate hazelnut filled mud muffins are ridiculously indulgent (yet secretly healthy!!), super easy to make and seriously chocolatey. Super moist, rich chocolate muffins stuffed with a luxurious chocolate hazelnut filling and finished with a rich dark  chocolate ganache, these muffins are without doubt one of the best chocolatey treats out there. (Even if I do say so myself.)

And on that note, Ima keep this short and sweet for you today because:

1 – I’m trying to think of something fun to tell you, some witty caption, a funny story but honestly, I got nothin’

2 – I’m still struggling with this intense pain in my shoulder and being on my computer seems to make things feel (at least) 10 x more uncomfortable! Apparently, something about the way I hold my arm when I type seems to really aggravate the pesky lil tear. Can confirm, it’s not a fun time but thankfully I have these double chocolate hazelnut stuffed muffins to make me feel better! Chocolate (and nut butter) makes everything better!

3 – Who wants to listen to (or read) my ramblings when there are super fudgy, chocolate hazelnut stuffed mud muffins to be made!

Super simple, insanely delicious and you are going to love, love, LOVE them!

And yes, the fact that we are calling them muffins + the fact that they are made with eggs & Greek yogurt (hello, protein!!) & also include a hit of espresso not to mention that they’re stuffed with nut butter, means they’re totally acceptable for breakfast consumption!

If you do one more thing today (or add it to tomorrow’s to-do list ), please let it be making these!

Gluten free – Dairy free – Grain Free – Refined Sugar free – Low Carb  – Paleo – Keto – 100% Vegan friendly!

1 bowl + 20 mins!

I hope you love them as much as we do which FYI – is A LOT!

From my heart to yours, enjoy xo

* I use Raw earth sweeteners which is a natural sugar alternative – the brown “sugar” gives a hint of caramel which is incredible – you can just buy at your local woolworths, coles or independant supermarket.

** I love Macro Mike plant based almond protein powder (have not tested any other in this recipe). Its gluten free, dairy free, sugar free, boosted with probiotics & truly tastes all kinds of incredible. Its hands down without question the smoothest, most delicious, elite tasting protein power (plant based/dairy free or otherwise!!) I have ever tried. And I have tried A LOT!  Use AMB-EM to get a cheeky discount of you want to try it & believe me, you do!

NOTE – You can sub 1/2 teaspoon of coconut flour in place of the protein powder but the taste & nutritional boost the protein pwd adds really takes these muffins to a whole new level!

*** I use before you speak high performance instant coffee (the adrenal reset/ decaf  is a must and for loaded coffee the OG & unsweetened are my current faves) EMS10 = 10% off all things @ before you speak coffee if you want to try & believe me, you really do!
You “can” omit but that touch of espresso pwd really helps enhance the richness of the chocolate!
**** For a low sugar/ high protein alternative I love using Macro Mikes Choc Hazelnut Protein + PB Powder – just mix with water

Honestly, Im not sure I want to drink my coffee any other way from now on?!

Especially at this time of year when I’m needing all of the coffee to try to do all the things (and then some!) please tell me I’m not the only one?!

This right here, is everything I want, all day every day on repeat (by IV) between now and Christmas . . . then on Christmas I’ll be wanting a double-double please and thank you.

Subtly sweet, seriously creamy,  spiked with the perfect hit of espresso and a heart and belly-warming hum of gingerbread spice. It’s SOOOO good!

No one would ever know that this one also happens to be seriously good for you!

Packed with protein, naturally sweetened and loaded with gut healing goodness!

I won’t tell if you don’t!

Healthified or not, I can’t think of a better way to start, end or fill the day than cozied on the couch, binge-watching Christmas movies with a cup of this deliciousness! Which is where you’ll find me, on the couch, tonight at 830 pm . . . cozied up in my comfiest PJ’s watching “The Santa Clause” or “Home Alone” I cant decide which one Im feeling today?! But, you’re welcome to join me!

Serve it hot, serve it iced, however you choose to do it you really can’t go wrong!

Seriously, so good! Starbucks who?!

Please note I like mine spicy so feel free to adjust accordingly …

And yes, all those exclamations points are 100% necessary and maybe just a few more!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean, did you hear me?!

Gingerbread Twix bars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quite possibly one of my best recipe creations ever! And I mean EVER!

Fun little story for you, many, many years ago, when Eve was just a teeny, tiny baby (although I’m sure that was just last week?!) we were visiting friends and family in the USA for Thanksgiving/early Christmas, wandering around Walmart, as you do, and there they were limited edition gingerbread Twix bars . . . I was smitten!

Guys, these bars?! They were the holiday treat of my dreams!

Every year as Christmas approaches, my eyes scan the supermarket shelves (and I regularly stalk Amazon and target, and Mars websites) in search of my beloved gingerbread Twix bars but they never appear . . .

Finally, it hit me, why not just make my own?!

How have I never thought to do this before?!

You guys . . . I don’t want to toot my own horn or anything but *toot, toot* I totally nailed it!

Deliciously buttery, gingerbread base topped with a layer of (date free) salted caramel finished with a cool, crisp layer of espresso infused dark chocolate!!!

There are few moments in life where words are simply not required and I strongly believe that this may be one of them!

Plus the sooner I stop talking (or typing) the sooner you can start making and the sooner you start making the sooner you can be eating and hear me when I say, you need these in your life like, yesterday!

Made with just 5 ingredients that I bet you have on hand already and come together in 1 bowl with 1 spoon and can be ready to devour in about 45 minutes!!!!

The hardest part about making these bars is waiting for them to set.

Will waiting be difficult? Possibly, for some – some people being me.

But, will it be worth it?

Absolutely, 100% without question, totally worth it!

Hello – healthy {DATE FREE} gingerbread Twix bars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The perfect make-ahead treat for Christmas, that’s if they last until then that is!

Gluten free – Dairy free – Grain Free – Refined sugar free – Low carb – Vegan – Keto and Paleo friendly.

All natural, quick and easy, deliciously buttery, perfectly spiced,  secretly healthy (date free) gingerbread Twix bars!

From my heart to yours, enjoy xo

For my visual learners, click here for some extra tips & to cook along with me – I also share my hack for how to slice your bars without the chocolate layer cracking!

Note – Bars are best stored in an air tight container in the fridge (can also be frozen)

Basic ingredients, basic in execution but the taste, the texture is anything but basic, they truly are out of this world delicious and no one will ever know that they also happen to be secretly healthy too!

Subtly sweet, light, fluffy, soft, and tender, vanilla spiked muffins with perfectly golden, crunchy muffin tops and are bursting with sweet juicy blueberries . . .

Last week I had a massive craving for a big, beautiful, blueberry muffin . . . I’ve been obsessed with blueberries for months now. Usually, I just eat them straight from the punnet (classy, I know) but this day straight from the punnet wasn’t going to cut it, a blueberry muffin MUST be had. But not just any ol’ blueberry muffin, I need a bakery-style blueberry coffee cake muffin because streusel-topped muffins are greater than all!

So off to the kitchen I went . . .

Ummmm I don’t want to toot my own horn or anything but they turned out so well, I was smitten! *toot, toot*

I packed one into spunky husbands lunch box and within minutes of morning tea time, I got a text from him telling me how amazing they were . . . then Eve had one after school and she loved them too! You know you’re onto a winner when the whole family approves!

I have been making muffins for our mid-morning/after-school snacks for months now, but these new, new, low carb, paleo, bakery-style blueberry muffins have been declared one of, if not THE BEST I’ve ever made!  One taste and I think you’ll agree. They’re so simple but they’re just so good!

What you’ll need to make your new fave, low carb, gluten-free, bakery-style blueberry coffee cake muffins –

Eggs – or flax eggs (to make 1 flax egg mix 1 Tbsp flaxmeal/ground flaxseed with 2.5 Tbsp water, mix it up and let it sit for 5 mins)
Vanilla yoghurt – Dairy or non-dairy, either works just fine
Vanilla extract
Vanilla almond milk – or milk of choice
Monkfruit sweetener – or granulated sweetener of choice
Almond Flour
Coconut flour
Blueberries, obv
Tapioca or arrowroot starch – tossing our blueberries in a little flour before we mix them into the batter helps to stop them all from sinking to the bottom
A pinch of salt, always
Baking soda & baking powder to help them rise.

Pretty standard ingredients, right? I bet you have most things on hand this very minute!

How to make your low carb, gluten-free, bakery-style blueberry coffee cake muffins –

Honestly, as far as baking goes, it doesn’t really get much easier than this . . .

Just throw everything but the flour drenched blueberries into a bowl, give it a little stir . . . fold through the blueberries, scoop into your lined muffin tray, sprinkle on your streusel, bake, devour . . . see, told you it was easy!

But  . . . Don’t overmix the batter. Mix your dry ingredients into your wet ingredients until it’s just combined. If you overmix the batter your muffins may turn out dense and a bit rubbery, which nobody wants!

A more few tips on how to make your low carb, gluten-free, bakery-style blueberry coffee cake muffins –

I prefer to use fresh blueberries, I find frozen ones work fine but they do cause the batter to seize a little because of the sudden change in temperature and they also tend to bleed a lot through the mixture which can result in your muffins looking a touch green  . . . they will still work just fine and taste absolutly delicious but it’s just something for you to keep in mind. I prefer fresh berries but frozen will work if that’s what you have or prefer to use.

Use an ice cream scoop to get your batter from the bowl into the muffin tray. This is by far the easiest and least messy way Ive found (a lot less drips on the counter and yourself, and the muffin tray) and it also produces nice, uniform and even sized muffins! Deliciously winning on so many levels!

Ok, I think that’ it . . . so, what are you waiting for . . . go get your deliciously simple, secretly healthy, anything but basic, basic, bakery-style blueberry coffee cake muffin on!!

And FYI – just in case you, like me, are wondering why it’s called a coffee cake when there’s no actual coffee in it  . . .  apparently (according to google) – “coffee cake is a moist, tender cake that is usually topped with some kind of streusel topping and served alongside coffee or tea at breakfast (!!!!) … A coffee cake might have coffee in it, but the name comes from the fact that it is served with coffee, not because it has coffee in it.

So  . . . cake for breakfast it is! Thanks, google!

Gluten free – Dairy free – Grain Free – Refined Sugar free – Low Carb  – Paleo – Keto – Vegan friendly – but most importantly they really are downright delicious and you need them in your life because, yum!

Life’s short, eat dessert for breakfast (it’s OK, we’re allowed, google said so and if google said it, it must be true, right?!)!
*pls know I don’t actually believe everything google has to say but, an excuse to eat cake for breakfast . . . I’m in!

Super simple, insanely delicious and I hope you love them as much as I do which just in case you didn’t catch it is A LOT!

From my heart to yours, Enjoy xo
