Vegan Sweet Potato Brownies

Vegan Sweet Potato Brownies

  For some of us, a love of chocolate seems to be there from the moment we’re born. Bibi’s first words about three decades ago weren’t ‘vegan sweet potato brownies’ but they weren’t far off. She could barely utter ‘mama’ when she started saying ‘ickle agg, ickle agg’. ‘That’s odd,’ I said to my mum…

Salted Peanut Butter Energy Balls

Salted Peanut Butter Energy Balls

These Salted Peanut Butter Energy Balls taste like they’ve been sent from heaven after a long run. The sodium and other minerals we lose during exercise need to be replaced and what better way than with the sea salt energy balls as delicious as these? Bibi rather surprised me singing about chocolate salty balls when…

Vegan Cranberry Tiffin

Vegan Cranberry Tiffin

Tiffin is a sweet little treat made with chocolate and broken biscuits. It originated in Scotland (I’ll admit I’ve just learned this) but came into its own when it met my kitchen. Ha, not really, but this quick and easy recipe definitely gives traditional tiffin recipes a kick in the butt. I won’t even go…

Pistachio and Cardamom Marzipan

Pistachio and Cardamom Marzipan

These vegan treats are delicious, super simple to make and would be lovely Christmas gifts. I don’t think I can really pretend that a food containing nearly a quarter sugar is healthy, but pistachios are great sources of mono-unsaturated fats, vitamin E and iron. Just make sure you share them around and don’t eat them all. (Believe…

Vegan Chocolate Coconut Treats

Vegan Chocolate Coconut Treats

If you’re not a fan of coconut look away now. These are the most delicious, most coconut-y, vegan, chocolatey sweet treats ever. These also demonstrate just how much we get from the humble coconut. They contain creamed coconut (the kind comes in a block), coconut milk, dessicated coconut and coconut essence. The dark chocolate balances the…

Chocolate Race Medals

Chocolate Race Medals

What should you do with your old race medals? This is a problem familiar to all runners. You could hang them up and let them gather dust. You might hide the in a drawer and forget about them. OR, if you’re really smart, you could turn your race medals into CHOCOLATE! That way, you celebrate your successes…

Chocolate Chia Seed Protein Balls

Chocolate Chia Seed Protein Balls

It’s the most wonderful time of the year… No, no, not Christmas – it’s marathon training time. Yippee! Well, not always maybe. There are a lot of miles to cover and sometimes it seems like not enough legs to run them on. That said, every cloud has a silver lining and these Chocolate Chia Seed…

Chocolate Pretzel Energy Bars

Chocolate Pretzel Energy Bars

After a big race, I’m always starving, and desperately crave two things – salt and protein. This can lead to some of my most pleasing food inventions. After the Pocklington 10 miler, I demolished Harissa Hummus and beetroot crisp sandwiches in my chia seed pittas. After a training run last week, I went weak at the…

Vegan Nutella Cookies

Vegan Nutella Cookies

These Vegan Nutella Cookies help me forget that I totally failed at Lent. I’m not religious but I do like a challenge. My Lent-alution (Lent-resolution) had been to start meditating every day for ten minutes. I managed a week. I did feel the benefits of that one week, but I didn’t properly prioritise it, and…

Chocolate Nut Energy Bars

Chocolate Nut Energy Bars

Heavens, thank god for these Chocolate Nut Energy Bars, that’s all I can say! We did the Snake Lane 10 Mile Race at the weekend and all that got me round was knowing that I had a box full of these beauties waiting near the finish line. Bibi was bounding along, chatting away to everybody (like…

Vegan Ginger-Chocolate Brownies

Vegan Ginger-Chocolate Brownies

I was given Scott Jurek’s book ‘Eat & Run’ for Christmas and have been devouring it ever since. It’s part running guide, part autobiography of the world’s greatest ultramarathon runner and part vegan recipe book. A proper book review will follow shortly when I’ve gulped the whole thing down. His book couldn’t come at a…

Mexican Vegan Chilli Chocolate Pots

Mexican Vegan Chilli Chocolate Pots

Be warned: these Mexican Vegan Chilli Chocolate Pots may look harmless and easy going but they have a real kick to them. They are definitely not for kids! Inspired by spiced hot chocolate we had while skiing, a little goes a long way with these dark, decadent pots. These cheeky choc pots went down a…
