Butter pecan ice cream/2 recipes

Make a granola full of your favorite dried fruits and nuts!

These mini pea and sweetcorn fritters make a delicious healthy snack or breakfast which we sometimes serve with fried or poached eggs. We only ever use 1/2 teaspoon of the chilli flakes as this gives the fritters a bit of a kick, but doesn’t make them too spicy. When making these you might find that the fritters split or crack when you try to flip them over (it shouldn’t happen if you only use 1 teaspoon of the mixture). If this happens we’d recommend trying them with less mixture and making smaller fritters, this way it’s easier to flip them without breaking.

For a smooth start to your day try this banana and coconut smoothie. If you love thick and creamy smoothies, then this one will go down a treat. It’s really healthy too and is full of potassium, fibre, vitamin c, magnesium and folate. We’ve used coconut cream in this recipe, which is the cream from the top of a can of full fat coconut milk that has been left refrigerated.

If you fancy a taste of tropical paradise, then this delicious, healthy and nutritious drink is for you. We’ve made it with frozen fruit so it tastes ice cold, but if you don’t have the time to freeze, it’s fine not to.

These mouth-watering quiches make such a delicious snack. We’ve made the base out of almonds and gluten free oats and the filling is eggs, sun dried tomatoes, kale and red onion with a dash of nutritional yeast. Traditional quiche is not usually a healthy option as it generally contains quite a lot of cream cheese. For this nutritious alternative we’ve substituted cream cheese for skimmed milk and used nutritional yeast to give the cheesy flavour. We’ve also used a mix of whole eggs and egg whites to help manage cholesterol levels. You can choose any fillings you like instead of the sun dried tomatoes, kale and red onion. Hope you enjoy!

Chocolate-Chip Cookie Muffins recipe

Pumpkin recipes are blowing up Pinterest this year, more than I remember seeing before. I love the put-pumpkin-in-everything craze as much as anyone, but this year I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed by it all. Maybe because it started too early, before I was even thinking about pumpkins. Maybe because I’ve had pumpkins on my porch for almost 2 months and I’ve yet to actually cut one open. Either way, I’m late to this game. If you’re not all pumpkin-ed out yet, you may enjoy this recipe for chocolate pumpkin bread. It’s free of nuts, dairy, gluten and all grains. As far as sweet breads go, this one is as healthy as it gets.

The French toast came out golden, brown and nicely crispy on top. Warm, creamy with lots of juicy blueberries in the centre. The blueberry sauce was a must, it not only added fruity and juicy sweetness, but it also maximized the blueberry taste.

This apple muffins are rich in fibire and low-fat, they are fit for all!
