Banana Cake Bars

September 5, 2024

My two little humans broke up with bananas, so I was left with a bowl of over ripe ones. During nap tine, I decided to convert some into something tasty before they got to the point of no return. These banana cake bars are super quick to make, and a lovely sweet pick me up in the afternoon (or after dinner)!

Rainy day granola (gluten free & accidentally vegan!)

November 10, 2020

Literally named ‘rainy day granola’ because it was a dark n’ stormy Sunday, thus I didn’t want to go out the shops for groceries! I made this just before the COVID-19 lockdowns began in Melbourne, but now that I have a newborn I can barely go out even though lockdowns have been lifted! I think it’s something delicious you can make at home quick & swiftly!

Easy indulgent cookies

June 16, 2020

Two days after I finished our cookie stash at home, I felt sad & insatiable again despite rummaging the house for afternoon tea snacks. I don’t have a stand mixer at home as it’s in the work studio so I had a play around with several recipes and this amazing cookie was born! Chewy, soft & supple straight out of the oven with molten honeycomb - perfect for a rainy afternoon pick me up!

Quick maple apples

May 16, 2020

I like fruit on my pancakes, they feel naked without it. With nothing but one granny smith left in the fridge during social distancing, I threw together anything else I found in the fridge & it all came together to be this surprisingly tasty maple apple topping!

Wheat free honey granola

May 2, 2020

Every fortnight I normally find some time on a Sunday to make our granola stash for breakfast. However, during the recent Covid-19 lockdowns, I got sick of making three meals a day and started to buy store bought granola, which is a luxury that quickly started to add up. After trying many different granolas in the last few weeks though, I’ve made this one based on one my husband’s current favourites from The Source - but wheat free!

Gluten Free (accidentally vegan) Gingerbread Granola

December 19, 2019

I’ve been trying out new breakfast options recently since we decided to stay at home on the weekends. After browsing cyberspace for some inspo I decided to try my hand at a gingerbread inspired granola - but made gluten free! It’s perfect for the upcoming festive season, so you can definitely enjoy this on Christmas morning if you feel that way inclined; but I think its going to be delicious all year round!

Chocolate Chip & Honeycomb Cookies

August 5, 2019

I’m definitely a doomsday preper styled holiday maker. I feel the urgency to eat everything in the house, clean profusely & spring clean in the days leading up to a trip - even though sometimes I am away for a night. On a whim to finish the honeycomb at home before flying out, I decided to chuck it in my chocolate chip cookie recipe from the cafe.

Chocolate & Peanut Butter Chip Cookies

June 17, 2019

I have a confession to make. I am helplessly addicted to peanut butter. So when Reese’s peanut butter chips were on sale at the supermarket I took them home to whiz up some magic, which is how these cookies were born.
