Healthy Fruit and Nut bars

Healthy Fruit and Nut bars by Angie Wilkes

Homemade version of Nak'd bars. Easy to make, very versatile. If you love the taste of Nak’d bars, but you’re not so keen on the price, try making your own – you won’t believe how easy these are to make. This is the basic recipe for the bars, but you can add whatever flavourings you want. I’ve used vanilla, but I suggest…

Walnuts in honey by margaret

The simplest possible recipe. You could use hazel nuts instead. These are very good to decorate cakes, desserts and especially ice-cream.

Carrot Cake (butter and sugar free)

Carrot Cake (butter and sugar free) by Hungry Jenny

A healthier version - that still tastes like carrot cake :-) The 'frosting' is cream cheese so is also a healthier option than the standard frosting you get with carrot cake, but feel free to omit if you want to make this even healthier! This recipe is for a 7 x 12.5" traybake and cuts into 27 small bars.

Travel Gingerbread Cookies

Travel Gingerbread Cookies by Hungry Jenny

Make these soft gingerbread cookies to take on your travels if you suffer from travel sickness - the calming effects that ginger has on the stomach should help to relieve the symptoms. Perfect for kids too. They should be lightly golden and still a little soft when you take them out - they will firm up a little as they cool down…

Soft Pear and Cranberry Squares

Soft Pear and Cranberry Squares by Hungry Jenny

Aside from the egg, this is otherwise dairy-free! Use very ripe pears for best results. This recipe is for a 13 x 8" traybake (32 squares) Cover the top with baking paper or foil during the last 10 minutes to avoid the top over-browning. http://hungryjenny.blogspot.com/2011/03/soft-pear-and-cranberry-squares.html

Butter Free Raspberry Polenta Cake

Butter Free Raspberry Polenta Cake by Hungry Jenny

The quantity of polenta used is small, but is enough to work in that slightly gritty texture expected from a polenta cake. I also baked it in a shallower tin which results in a crunchy cased cake that is still soft and moist on the inside.

Cranberry Orange Cookie Bites

Cranberry Orange Cookie Bites by Hungry Jenny

These taste best fresh out of the oven but keep well for a few days, they just go a little chewier. But best of all, they're pretty healthy! Which is why it's ok to eat six of these at once ;-) This recipe makes 60 mini cookies (tsp size) or 30 'normal' cookies!…

Mini Brioche Muffins

Mini Brioche Muffins by Hungry Jenny

This recipe can create 48 mini muffins, or 24 cupcakes - or, as I did, 24 mini muffins and 12 cupcakes!) Leave the brioche out to dry overnight for best results. If you want to make cupcake-sized ones, amend the temperature to 180 degrees C instead for about 20 minutes.…

My version of Nigella's Chocohotpot

My version of Nigella's Chocohotpot by Padma Priya Manikam

This is a dessert made by British chef Nigella and I have made it several times varrying a little. The original recipe calls for 4 ramikens but I bake mine in a rectangle oven-proof dish. I also use Van Houten's cooking chocolate. Below is the recipe adapted by me and for the original recipe kindly refer to the web link.
