Butter and Flour Free Chocolate CakeThis contains chickpeas which might sound strange but actually works really well! It doesn't taste particularly 'chickpea'-like and is still incredibly moist despite having no butter. You can easily make this completely gluten-free by using gluten-free baking powder too. This was made in an 8" square tin. |

Scottish ShortbreadThis is the most famous cookie of Scotland. It’s a must to use pure butter. Traditionally, shortbread contains no other flavor. I’ve been making this recipe since 1970 when I got the recipe in Edinburgh, Scotland. The addition of a small amount of rice flour gives a firmness and crunchiness to the cookie. Most American recipes for… |

Vanilla Custard Sauce (British)This sauce is served over steamed puddings, fruit crisps (crumbles), and any dessert that would be enhanced by a creamy vanilla sauce. It's the perfect homemade replacement for Byrd's Custard powder. One warning, however: 1) use a small, "thick-bottom" saucepan, and 2) cook over low heat and don't allow the mixture to boil or it will… |

Indulgent Chocolate TartI used an 8 x 12 inch rectangular tin for this, which was slightly too big, but you don't particularly need to roll the pastry right out to fill up each side of the tin completely. As long as you can create a 'lip' around the whole thing to seal in the chocolate goodness, you're good to go! This cuts into 6 decent sized dessert… |

Low Fat Chocolate and Banana Oat CakeApart from the sugar (and flour), this can be quite a healthy cake choice. It tastes good too! Stick your bananas in the freezer if you want to ripen them up before using. http://hungryjenny.blogspot.com/2010/04/almost-low-fat-chocolate-and-banana-oat.html |

Raspberry Banana Pie with Coconut PastryA nice healthy pie with fresh raspberries and banana, plus a butter free pastry base that has a mild coconut flavour. You can eat two slices and not feel guilty ;-) You can substitute with 350g 'normal' sweet shortcrust pastry if preferred. http://hungryjenny.blogspot.com/2010/07/friday-pie-day-raspberry-banana-pie.html |

Dirty Carrot CakeI made this cake thinking it was going to be pretty healthy, what with the absence of butter and use of sunflower oil instead. But when you eat it, it has the definite inklings of a cake that is more naughty for you than it should be. http://hungryjenny.blogspot.com/2009/11/dirty-carrot-cake.html |

Mini Mango TartsWhen I made these, they deflated a little whilst cooling, then the tops cracked a bit after chilling in the fridge! I'm not sure what cooling tactics I was meant to use there (any advice welcome!) but they taste good, which is the important thing! http://hungryjenny.blogspot.com/2010/05/friday-pie-day-mini-mango-tarts.html |

Cranberry Orange Cookie BitesThese 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!… |
