I was dreaming of sticky ginger cake when I decided to look for a recipe to make my own. Inspired by an Easy vegan ginger cake I made a few adjustments. It’s dairy-free but not gluten-free although the flour could be substituted for a gluten-free plain (all-purpose) one. What a lot of cake! I didn’t have
I came across this tasty alternative brownie recipe when researching baking uses of plantain (cooking banana). Without the need for any type of flour (unlike the Avocado Brownies which require coconut flour) the ingredients are a little bit more straightforward and cheaper. I often buy 3-4 plantains for £1 at my local market Caribbean grocery food
From dried dates to date purée Dried dates will keep for about 6 months in an airtight container in the cupboard and up to a year after their “best by date” if stored in the fridge. I find that to use in some recipes, soaking them in warm water for a few minutes helps to soften them.
Although this isn’t much different from the original recipe that I found on PaleoOMG.com, I’ve made several versions including cupcakes with an experimental raspberry frosting made from avocado. The original topping makes the bread just a bit too chocolatey for me (yes, who’d of thought!) I’ve also successfully replaced the nut butter with an avocado
Here’s a gluten-free alternative to the Blueberry Spelt Flour Muffins.

Leave out the nuts if your allergic. Try a variety of add-in ingredients including other fruit (chopped fresh, frozen or dried) or
I’d never made brownies before trying these. They are now my favourite chocolate dessert. Rich and creamy from the avocado and full of protein, these treats will make you feel good. I use 90% chocolate which definitely pack a mighty kick. Blink and these babies are gone but don’t eat too many in one go
Like chocolate but intolerant to dairy? Fear not! No eggs or dairy milk required. There’s even a nut-free option. Use this dairy-free recipe with or without the avocado frosting to make 14-16 cupcakes, one big cake or a 2-layer sandwich cake. Chocolate yumminess.
This recipe was my initiation into using avocado as a butter alternative in desserts. I first came across the recipe by chance and it’s now one of my favourites. A blender (stick or jug) will give you a decent, creamy blend but it’s possible to get a satisfactory consistency with just a potato masher and/or
