I don’t make cakes very often, mainly as they normally aren’t that healthy and I don’t trust myself not to eat the whole darn thing. This cake is in the middle of the scale, or so I’ve convinced myself! And yes, it really is made with sweet potatoes! Continue reading “Sweet Potato & Walnut Cake”
Sugar seems to be the big debate of the moment, and I personally haven’t and wont be eliminating it from my diet completely. I am very much in the “everything in moderation” camp, and life is too short not to sneak in a cheeky bar of chocolate every now and then.

Anyway, enough said, it was time to create a healthy version and an alternative race fuel for my boy.
These are another cracking whole food energy bar, bursting with goodness, super easy and cheap to make.

I really like muffins, or should I say, I like the idea of them. However, I’m always disappointed with any I’ve tried. They are always too sweet, stodgy or greasy and hugely calorific. I’ve been experimenting with different combinations the last few weeks and these were our Sunday morning treat- dark chocolate and banana made with spelt four.
