Marshmallow Snowmen Cupcakes (Vegan)
These super cute Marshmallow Snowmen Cupcakes are a perfect Christmas treat, and super cute! I used a dusting of icing sugar to make it look like a lovely little snowy scene and I'm so pleased with how they turned out ☺️

Vegan Chocolate Caramel Crispie Treats
These are a real treat and a throwback to the snacks of my childhood - I believe making rice crispie treats is a staple of learning to bake as a child, and I really enjoyed going back to that and making my own. These Vegan Chocolate Caramel Crispie Treats required sourcing vegan marshmallows, vegan caramel and vegan chocolate chips - all of which are seriously easy to do now thanks to the ever growing amount of vegan products on the market!

Homemade Vegan Maltesers
These have long been on my list to try and "veganize" - and as far as I know there aren't any vegan maltesers available on the market... so I decided to make them myself!

Winter Spice Crinkle Cookies (Vegan)
These cookies are fully inspired by my love for all things Autumnal/Christmas as well as the prettiest cookies I've made (my Chocolate Crinkle Cookies) - when I was making these it was very difficult not to eat all the dough, it just tasted so good!

Caramelised Apple Scones (Vegan)
I seem to have developed a love for scones, and when I thought of a way to bring a little bit of Autumn to them I knew I was on to a winner. These Caramelised Apple Scones are a tasty treat, perfect to eat warm with some jam and butter.

Vegan Chocolate Mousse Pie with an Oreo Crust
Since being introduced to silken tofu pies by a friend on Instagram, I have been dreaming (day-dreaming, not literally dreaming) about making an Oreo pie. With a buttery Oreo biscuit base and a smooth chocolate filling. Well, no more day-dreaming about pie for me, as I've made that dream a reality 😎

Vegan Yorkshire Puddings
Since giving up dairy and eggs, there has been something noticeably missing from my Sunday dinners, and that would be Yorkshire puddings. I'd mastered putting together my own meat free, egg free and dairy free roast dinners, with some good vegan sausages, lots of roast veggies and plenty of gravy. BUT, a key item was missing, and I haven't seen any shops selling vegan Yorkshire puddings so I decided it was time to make my own.

Halloween Shortbread Biscuits (Vegan)
These biscuits are so easy to make, and super cute! Perfect for your halloween party or even as a little seasonal treat. I used my trusty Easy Vegan Shortbread recipe and the same icing recipe I used for my Vegan Gingerbread, another seasonal treat but it's not quite that time of year yet haha!

Vegan White Chocolate and Raspberry Cookies
Since giving up dairy and eggs, I feel like I've really been missing the supermarket cookies you see her in the UK. I've made my standard chocolate chip, double chocolate - but I knew there was one more I needed to try (not oat and raisin, does anyone actually like them?!). Obviously White Chocolate and Raspberry!

Chocolate Chip Scones (Vegan)
Scones are so quick and easy to make, and have always been firm favourite of mine. Normally I would be making fruit scones, however I decided to mix things up and go for some dark chocolate chips, making a sweet, vegan and satisfying snack.

Lotus Biscoff Rocky Road Bars (Vegan)
One of the best things about avoiding dairy/eggs/animal products is when you discover new goodies to use! I've known about Lotus Biscoff Spread being "accidentally vegan" for a few years now, and as Rocky Road is one of my most popular blog posts I was keen to try out a new variation of it - cue Lotus Biscoff Rocky Road Bars!

Vegan Wagon Wheels
A wagon wheel is a classic British treat, and something that I haven't had since I went vegetarian 3 years ago. Unfortunately, standard marshmallows contain gelatine, so therefore not suitable for vegetarians (or vegans!). Luckily for us though there are now vegan marshmallows available to buy, and all you need is some jam, biscuits and chocolate and you can make your own!

Vegan Date Flapjacks
These are possibly the tastiest flapjacks I have made - the gooey centre from the dates just adds that little something extra, super yummy!

Vegan White Chocolate Gluten Free Cookies
I am beyond pleased with how these cookies turned out - they were crunchy on the outside but wonderfully soft on the inside. This is also the first time (I'm 99% sure it was the first time!) that I've made gluten free cookies... bonus points, they're also vegan!!

Vegan Millionaires Shortbread with a Date Caramel
I've been really enjoying "veganising" some of my favourite foods recently, including this Risotto and this Chocolate Ganache. Next up on my list was millionaires shortbread - something I never actually got round to making as a non-vegan! So here it finally is - my recipe for a Vegan Millionaires Shortbread, with a Date Caramel ("ooh ah" I hear you say, keep reading to find out more!).

Vegan Cookie Dough Truffles
These truffles are such a treat. Something that you just want to eat 5 in a sitting treat. Or more, you know, if you're feeling wild 😜Seriously though these cooke dough truffles are super tasty and super vegan. I always feel like such a winner when I make tasty vegan treats, not that there's anything too complicated to it, but just that I've succeeded again in proving that vegan doesn't equal boring!

Chickpea Curry
I've been promising this recipe for the longest time now, you may have spotted it on my Instagram account and I said I'd be writing up the recipe soon but fully due to my own poor planning it took far too long to get this recipe on my blog... well the wait is over now! Here is a recipe for a super tasty Chickpea Curry! It's fully vegan, nut free, gluten free but not lacking in any of the tasty curry spices you'd expect!

Chocolate Chunk Cookies (Gluten Free + Vegan)
Gluten free baking used to scare me, being honest it still does, but I'm getting a lot more comfortable with it. I've managed to make a few gluten free things now, and as cookies are one of the easiest things to make (in my opinion), I thought I might as well try making them gluten free!

Tofu Scramble
Before I made this last week, I had never tried tofu scramble before! I'd seen it floating around on Instagram and Pinterest for a long time but for some unknown reason I'd never gotten round to making it. For my first effort at making this I can hands down say this is a great alternative to scrambled egg on your vegan fry-up and it will become a staple part of my breakfast next time I want a little treat!

Chocolate Cranberry Tiffin (Vegan)
This chocolate cranberry tiffin is something you can whip together in a few minutes and enjoy as soon as it's set! Tiffin is something that is easy to "vegan-ise" as it just requires some simple swaps and you get exactly the same result! This tiffin was super tasty and definitely hit satisfied my sweet cravings!

Vegan Mushroom and Asparagus Risotto
This is an easy to follow recipe for a delicious vegan mushroom and asparagus risotto, and as with all my other recipes it doesn't call for any unusual ingredients! Honestly it's the most annoying thing when you come to make a recipe and it calls for some hard to come by ingredient or a really expensive ingredient! The great thing about a risotto is you can really add whichever ingredients you have available - I've made it with aubergine and peas before but you can add in anything you have available (within reason!).

BBQ Jackfruit Tacos
Jackfruit is a great meat alternative, and is often used to create a "pulled-meat" texture, great for burgers, sandwiches or in this case, tacos! This recipe for BBQ Jackfruit Jackfruit is really easy to follow and produces a super tasty vegan meal which is rich in fibre and potassium.
