Vegan Pancakes

I've recently found out I can not have egg whites... which makes baking very hard. I've never had much luck at finding a good vegan pancake recipe so I finally made one up and it seemed to work.

My mum wanted some cookies but she's recently developed new allergies so I had to really put my head together to make these. 

The Ingredients are super simple,

GF rolled oats

raspberries 

cacao

chocolate chips 

walnut spread

coconut flour 

melted vegan butter

maple syrup

there are no real measurements but until your form a doughy consistency keep adding the maple syrup and butter. 

Form cookie balls and place in oven at 350 for 10-15 minutes

These muffins killed it for desert. They are so moist, tasty and the raspberries melt in your mouth

Gluten free flour blend

I have varying success with different recipes for gluten free flour blends. I don't like to use the store bought ones as they have binders in them that I find are unnecessary. Make a large jar of this blend and store in a dry cool area.

Ingredients: (makes 2 3/4 cups)
1/2 cup white rice flour
1/4 cup tapioca flour
1/2 cup potato starch
1 1/2 cups brown rice flour

Chocolate Hazelnut cake

I have made a lot of chocolate cakes, and I always encounter the same problem with gluten free, dairy free, and refined sugar free cake recipes - they are not as moist and fluffy as normal ones. However this recipe was amazing and was eaten in about .5 seconds

Salad guide

I don't really ever upload my salad recipes from Instagram because there pretty self explanatory but I figured I would give a quick guide on how to make your every day salads a little more exciting

1. Mix up the greens - Don't always use the same lettuce and try mixing rocket with spinach or butter lettuce with a deeper green
2. Nuts! this is my fav way to change a salad, try slivered almonds, pistachios, hazelnuts or walnuts
3. Dressing - I'm a very basic dressing kind of person. It's usually olive oil and balsamic or tahini, but If I want something more exciting try mixing mustard, honey and olive oil together
4. Veggies - raw or cooked either way it makes it good. Go for veggies that will actually look good in the salad, this way you more likely to want to eat it.
5. Your protein - for me there always has to be a protein in my salad even if it's plant based. If your always doing chicken try a turkey cutlet. If your vegan try a yummy veggie burger tossed up in there
6. Make it with love..... and hopefully it will taste better
