Healthy Easter Eggs


These little beauties are about the healthiest treats you can make, ticking all the boxes for vegan, gluten free, paleo, raw and refined sugar free - not to mention they are delicious. As with any form of sugar I recommend them only as a treat, but hey its Easter and these are a guilt free alternative to the toxic Easter eggs in the store.

Vegan Chocolates


A rich dessert with only 3 ingredients and super easy to make, what better way to prepare for a busy Easter than whipping up these vegan, refined sugar free chocolates. I popped mine in mini muffin trays but why not get creative with festive molds and use them for any season.

Paleo/Grain Free/ Gluten Free Pizza Base



Ingredients (makes 5 saucer sized pizzas)
3 eggs
1 clove garlic diced
1 cup almond milk
1/2 cup coconut flour, sifted
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp thyme

Instructions
  • Preheat oven to 175 degrees
  • Line a tray with baking paper
  • Add all the ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix until combined. The dough will be liquidy but just stir and wait a few minutes until the coconut flour absorbs the liquid. 
  • When you have a dough that is like a pancake mix consistency, pour two table spoons onto the baking paper and spread it around until you have a thin layer with no holes. I like to do two saucer sized pizzas on one tray but feel free to do 4 TBS and make one large pizza
  • Bake for 10 mins one side, flip and do 10 mins the other side.
