Did someone say Mince Pie Banana Bread? 🍌🙌🏻 I am really so excited to share this recipe with you very soon as part of my festive recipes that I made before flying over here 👆🏻 It’s super moist and fluffy studded with fruity mincemeat and topped with the creamiest vegan cream cheese laced with more mincemeat. It’s the Christmas banana bread dream! 🎄🍌 And even more special with some mince pie chocolate truffles 🍫 . Back here in Melbourne, it’s wedding weekend as we watch our gorgeous friend get married tomorrow... Bring on a weekend full of love, laughter, friends and a dessert table 🌟 Have a great weekend! * * * #nourishingamy #feedfeed #mincepies #bananabread #veganchristmas #easyrecipes #eeeeeats #healthyfood #glutenfree #healthyrecipes #eatrealfood #iamwellandgood #healthyfoodporn #healthyfoodshare #onmyplate #52grams #thrivemags #foodfluffer #goodoldvegan #foodiesconnected #vegandessert #glutenfreevegan #veganlondon @thrivemags @huffposttaste #London #mindbodygram #eatplants #bestofvegan @goodoldvegan #melbourne

Smile sweetly 😬🍭 [#ad] In this second part of my smiling campaign, I’m all about living life without foodie limits. You know when you think of really sour foods, you get that funny feeling in your mouth? And it almost feels quite exciting? From sour apples and berries to fizzy sweets… that tongue-tingling feeling is great for most but not if you have sensitive teeth - luckily @sensodyneuk is formulated for sensitive teeth meaning the sourness won’t bother you - nor will the heat or the cold temperatures! 🥵🥶 . Also *fact alert* 44% of sufferers adjust their brushing technique to avoid sensitive areas, all of which can potentially lead to further oral health problems 🌟 . So why not join the #SensodynersClub with me and make some yummy… . Sour Apple, Blackberry & Ginger Pavlovas w/ Calvados Salted Caramel Sauce 👆🏻 The mini pavlova meringues are made from 100g aquafaba (water from the tin of chickpeas!) whisked until firm with 1 tsp cream of tartar, 200g caster sugar and some ground ginger. Piped and baked for 90mins at 100C until crisp. Topped with sour apples (cook down 3 large peeled, cored and chopped cooking apples with 50g sugar and a splash of water until soft) + fresh blackberries + a good drizzle of calvados salted caramel sauce (400g coconut milk + 170g soft brown sugar + 1/2 tsp vanilla paste + pinch salt + 30ml calvados) I also topped mine with some creamy vanilla yoghurt and extra syrup! . Take a look at the range via the link in my stories [ad] . p.s. Sensodyne conforms to the EU Cosmetic Regulations so do not test on animals. While some of the toothpaste range does contain beeswax or traces of dairy, the Daily Care Gentle Whitening is 100% vegan friendly! 🦄 * * * #nourishingamy #vegan #veganrecipes #vegandesserts #smile #vegansofig #veganpavlova #feedfeed #veganchristmas #easyrecipes #eeeeeats #healthyfood #glutenfree #healthyrecipes #eatrealfood #healthyfoodshare #onmyplate #52grams #thrivemags #foodfluffer #goodoldvegan #foodiesconnected #glutenfreevegan #veganlondon @thrivemags @huffposttaste #mindbodygram #eatplants #bestofvegan @goodoldvegan

The cookie monster is here again… 🍪🎄 . Biscotti are (one of) my favourite kinds of cookies and I just love making new flavours. They’re not typically vegan but these ones have no dairy or eggs and are so crisp, light and moreish. They’re the perfect for dunking into warming hot chocolates this festive season… ✨ . Chocolate Cashew Biscotti 👆🏻 (Makes 10) Stir together 125g spelt flour (or GF blend*) + ½ tsp baking powder + 50g coconut sugar + 10g raw cacao powder + 1 tsp espresso powder. In another bowl stir together 20g melted and cooled coconut oil + 4 tbsp plant-based milk (room temperature) + 1 tsp vanilla extract. Pour the wet mix over the dry mix and stir. Knead with your hands until fully combined. Stir through 50g chopped cashew nuts + 50g chopped chocolate 🍫 Shape into a log about 12cm long on a lined baking tray and bake for 25-30 mins at 160Fan/180*C until firm 🍪 Remove, allow to cool for 10 mins. Using a sharp serrated knife slice into 10 pieces and arrange cut side up. Bake again for 15-20 mins, flipping over halfway through. Leave to cool then drizzle with 40g melted chocolate 🍫 . I loved making these with @snacking.essentials cashew nuts as they’re so creamy and light! Get your oven on and get baking these easy biscotti! 🍪 *for GF blend has your favourite that holds together well. I’ve not tried many. * * * AD | #nourishingamy #feedfeed #cookies #veganchristmas #easyrecipes #eeeeeats #healthyfood #glutenfree #chocolate #biscotti #healthyrecipes #eatrealfood #iamwellandgood #healthyfoodporn #healthyfoodshare #onmyplate #52grams #thrivemags #foodfluffer #goodoldvegan #foodiesconnected #vegandessert #glutenfreevegan #veganlondon @thrivemags @huffposttaste #London #mindbodygram #eatplants #bestofvegan @goodoldvegan

I can’t wait to get back to Christmas baking 🙌🏻🎅🏻 I’m having such a great time in Australia with the girls (I’ve been loving the sight seeing and the food and the sunshine - although it’s so sad that the sun is dimmed by all the ash smoke. It’s scary that this country is on fire) and I cannot believe it is getting so close to Christmas now 🎄 . There’s the odd Christmas tree in the city centre but it doesn’t feel very festive at all and I cannot wait to get back and start baking again (and sharing all these yummy recipes) . For now I’ll tease you with these Mince Pie Thumbprint Cookies 👆🏻 Recipe coming ✨ p.s. they’ve got lots of yummy almond butter and spices 🍪 Have a magical day! * * * #nourishingamy #feedfeed #cookies #mincepies #veganchristmas #eeeeeats #healthyfood #berries #glutenfree #milkfree #coeliac #healthyrecipes #eatrealfood #iamwellandgood #healthyfoodporn #healthyfoodshare #onmyplate #52grams #thrivemags #foodfluffer #goodoldvegan #foodiesconnected #vegandessert #glutenfreevegan #veganlondon @thrivemags @huffposttaste #London #mindbodygram #eatplants #bestofvegan

It’s in your gut! 🌟🙆🏻‍♀️ #ad I love this time of year getting all festive, but it can be stressful, with parties, meet ups, present shopping and needing for it all to be perfect. There are so many things I like to do to help cope with stress and one of them is to eat well 🌿 I love learning more and more about the role of our gut: Did you know a healthy gut is central to our overall physical and mental wellbeing? . That’s why I try to include some probiotic and prebiotic foods throughout the day and am so excited to use @biocareltd ‘s BioAcidophilus Forte live bacteria supplement to help support a healthy gut! ✨ This recipe is a real winner and contains probiotic fermented food sauerkraut and prebiotic vegetables and wholegrains. It’s delicious, too! . Roasted Cauliflower and Broccoli Freekeh Salad with Sauerkraut and Tahini 👆🏻 Here’s how: 1. Toss 200g broccoli florets and 200g cauliflower florets in olive oil, salt and pepper and toast at 160Fan/180*C for 25-30mins. Add 50g walnuts for the final 10 mins. 🥦 2. Cook 80g freekeh, millet or quinoa. 3. In a bowl, massage 4 handfuls kale with 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar and a pinch of salt until vibrant and wilted. 🥬 4. Stir everything together with 50g pomegranate. Divide between two plates, top with 2 tbsp sauerkraut, extra walnuts and the tahini dressing (stir together 3 tbsp tahini + 1 tbsp tamari soy sauce + 1 tbsp lemon juice + 2 tbsp coconut milk and water until creamy). 🥗 .
