Low Sugar French Toast (Gluten & Dairy Free)

Thursday morning is croissant morning in our house. It’s a once-a-week treat, and although I do love to make some proper delicious wholegrain croissants when I can, often we just pick up a bake-from-frozen pack of butter croissants that have just a few simple, recognisable ingredients (flour, yeast, butter, sugar) and less than 5g sugar…

Sugar Free Pumpkin Pie Pop-Tarts

At this time of year, I make a pumpkin pie spice blend to use in the autumn. Ok, that’s a lie. I use it all year round. Because…yum. Why wouldn’t you add it to coffees, hot chocolates, desserts, tagines, stews, pies, puddings and just about anything? But I do tend to top it up a…

My coconut & raspberry cake is proof of that. These little truffles are a truly lovely coconut treat, however. Dairy free, gluten…

Low Sugar Chocolate-Covered Blueberries

In my pre-sugar-detox days, I used to snack on chocolate-covered-raisins. All.the.time. Because, well, healthy! Right? It wasn’t until I started reading labels when we quit sugar that I realised how high the sugar content of those so-called “healthy snack packs” was. I was gobsmacked. “Dark chocolate” meant 55% cocoa solids (and so 45% sugar), wrapped…
