These muffins are a result of leftover chickpeas (I used the rest to make the Orgasmic Cookie Dough from Periods, Poo & A Glorious You), a big-ass pumpkin and a new delivery of chocolate chips.
I’d rather celebrate what they are, rather than what they are NOT, but this is 2020 and we like labels for ease of navigation. So, for your convenience, please know that these babies are …
This seductive sweet spud dish is ‘sweet as’, hence the name. Now, never fear dear readers, I’m will not keep going on like;
a) I own a surf board,
OR
b) I call everyone ‘bro’
The ‘sweet’ talk (sorry) ends here.

A synergy of almonds, coconut and banana flour makes this special Chrissie treat gluten and grain-free without compromising texture or flavour. The addition of essential oils brings an a touch of Christmas love and makes me think of my friend Kimmy – the woman that took my mild affection for essential oils and turned it into borderline-obsession (and I wouldn’t have it any other way!)
Cooked and cooled rice is a source of resistant starch. Resistant starch (as the name suggests) resists digestion in the small intestine, instead acting as more of a fibre. It’s an incredible fuel source for our gut bugs to keep them thriving and healthy (super important for digestion, amazing skin, immunity and mental health).
The coconut milk is a brill source of fatty acids for nourishment and energy and the warming spices help to balance blood glucose levels. Pair this with the fibre- rich dates and the zinc-loaded pumpkin seeds and you’ve got yourself a pretty snazzy make-ahead brekkie.
I don’t always use the phrase “BOMB DIGGITY”, but when I do it’s because of taste sensations like this super-easy dessert “parfait”.
This baby only features two ingredients, but the technique and uh-maz-zing flavour combo is the absolute shizzle, I’m not even exaggerating when I say that it honestly tastes like banana cake batter. Who doesn’t love eating cake batter by the spoonful?
Damn that title is long. But I couldn’t just say “boring old brownies”. No point of difference there. I couldn’t simply label them “raw vegan chocolate brownies” – the internet has enough of those making the rounds at the minute. I needed to add in the (nut-free) specification, because although these treats smell like they have peanut butter in them (thanks to to addition of inca inchi seeds), I assure you they don’t – hence air quoted “peanut butter”. I like the bang-for-your-buck prefix because it’s playful and sums the recipe up dandily.

I’ve just purchased inca inchi protein powder because with my gallbladder attacks of last year putting me off virtually all animal products (nothing like almost choking on chicken and mayo salad vomit to put you off meat, eggs and oil for a while) I’m in desperate need of vegan sources of “complete” protein. I tried adding it to my pumpkin “custard” last night and it wasn’t glorious.
This divine butter can be made with or without the white chocolate twist. It’s simple but will have you making foodgasm noises left, right and centre. Serious “foodporn” in a jar.

Do you ever set out to make a basic recipe, only to be overwhelmed by an intuitive plea to modify the recipe to such an extent that you manifest an entirely original product?
I was just going to do a basic date, cashew and cacao wafer bliss ball recipe, but then I saw all the other ingredients in the pantry and completely changed my mind.
