Almond and apple are a match made in heaven! That particular combination always reminds me of lazy, family holidays in France and eating big slices of tarte aux pomme, with its almond center and thinly glazed apples decorating the top. …
Refined Sugar Free Recipes
Banana Flapjacks
I’m really excited about these banana flapjacks! It’s not just because they are healthy. It’s not just because they are sweetened with honey and banana, making them refined sugar free. It’s not even that they’re a great school/work lunchbox treat. It’s because I have made a video tutorial to accompany them 🙂 . You can see it here!…
Chocolate Ice Cream
OK, so I am now a honey sweetened ice cream convert! Last week, I posted about a vanilla caramel swirl ice cream that I had made and loved, so this week I have been in ice cream making mode and have put together a few other flavors. This dark Chocolate Ice Cream is creamy, rich and indulgent and a little goes a long way….
Madeleines
I was asked by a good friend to make 3 dozen madeleines for a charity bake sale this weekend. I was pressed for time, and as I had never made refined sugar free madeleines before, I felt that I couldn’t experiment on real paying customers so I made two batches, one batch of normal ‘full of white sugar’ madeleines for the cake sale and a batch of sugar free ones for myself! Purely for quality control purposes 😉 I had to taste one of each, and I was very impressed with the sugar free ones. …
Lavender & Honey Shortbread
Rooting around my favorite grocery store the other day, I was very excited to come across a new ingredient. I snapped it up, rushed home and tried it out! …
Vanilla Caramel Swirl Ice Cream
Oh my goodness, this Vanilla Caramel Swirl Ice Cream is good! It is a refined sugar free vanilla ice cream that is sweetened with honey and swirled with date caramel. Of course, you don’t really need to swirl it with caramel, but who in their right mind wouldn’t want swirls of caramel in their ice cream. No one I know!…
Cocoa Swirl Meringues
These meringues which are swirled with gluten free cocoa and made with organic coconut palm sugar are sublime! They are rich, caramelly, chocolatey and chewy! What more do you want from a meringue? …
Maple & Pecan Eclairs
I recently visited Toronto (what an amazing city) & returned home with a suitcase full to bursting with cans of maple syrup and packets of maple sugar. I made these maple and pecan eclairs the day I got back in an attempt to get over my end of holiday blues and to help with my jet lag! They did their job perfectly – who wouldn’t be happy and relaxed whilst feasting on maple & pecan eclairs. …
Elderflower Fruit Tarts
To celebrate my brilliant, clever honey bees doing so well this year I have made these honey sweetened Elderflower Fruit Tarts. They had a pretty tough start to the year, my poor girls! A storm blew the roof off two of the hives earlier in the year and by the time I got to them, they were pretty wet and sorry looking. …
Kouign Amann (Cheat version)
Okay for those of you who have never tried Kouign Amann, you must, must, must try it! This recipe is a cheat’s version of the buttery, sugary, divine (but highly calorific – eek!) original, but it is still very, very good. Until I can find or develop a refined sugar free recipe that matches those refined sugar filled, buttery originals, these make a very good alternative! …
