Honey and tahini popcorn bites


We recreated the Secret Squirrel's honey popcorn slices this weekend. They're deeply delicious without being too bad for you, the tahini adds a nuttiness to them which is perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the chocolate and coconut….basically they're super. Simple as that. Whilst you're waiting for them to cool in the fridge too the extra popcorn pieces are perfect dipping implements in the scraped out chocolate and tahini/honey mixing bowls (naughty).

To make a tray of honey and tahini popcorn bites you will need: 
4 cups of popcorn (cover the bottom of a medium saucepan with kernels and that'll give you just over 4 cups…just incase you have any accidents involving popcorn on the floor!)
1/4 cup tahini paste
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp melted coconut oil (plus a bit more to cook the popcorn)
1/2 tbsp agave syrup (or maple)
2 tbsp cocoa powder

Line a square tin with foil

 Melt the coconut oil in a medium saucepan and add to this the popcorn kernels. Cook the popcorn until the popping stops - keep moving the pan about to cover all the kernels in oil and so none burn at the bottom!

 Transfer the popcorn to a bowl and pour over the tahini paste and honey and swirl it all together until well combined. Press this into the prepared tin and pop in the fridge.

 Make the coconut chocolate drizzle by stirring the cocoa powder into the melted coconut oil and agave syrup - taste and add a little more agave if needed. Take the bites out of the fridge, drizzle over the coconut and chocolate sauce and leave for at least an hour to set. Cut into pieces and enjoy!

Frozen yogurt breakfast bowl

I feel as if Instagram and Pinterest are awash with photos of breakfast bowls containing ingredients I just can't get my hands on in Wales (mail order acai berries anyone?) I did want to jump on the trend bandwagon however and so have been enjoying frozen yogurt breakfast bowls instead (sprinkled with some  homemade granola of course - this batch has cashews rather than ginger in though).  I make this in my smoothie maker - anything with the ability to blitz frozen fruit will do. I can thoroughly recommend this as a breakfast to get you kick-started in spring! To make 1 portion of frozen yogurt breakfast bowl you will need: A handful of frozen berries - the major supermarkets do this really well 1 banana 1 tablespoon of greek yogurt A splash of milk From experience of multiple attempts at this, you need to order the ingredients in the blender so that the banana and yogurt are nearest the blade (to create a kind of paste) with the frozen berries ...

Banana, coconut and sultana cake

This cake came about as there were 4 bananas that had been sitting in the fruit bowl for as long as I could remember that were crying out to be used. I wanted to make something a little more exciting than banana bread and so created this little number. It's exceptionally quick and easy too. Possibly a new favourite recipe... To make a banana, coconut and sultana cake you will need: 140g self raising flour (or 130g plain flour with 2 tsp baking powder) 50g desiccated coconut 150g soft brown sugar 180ml sunflower oil 2 eggs Mashed bananas (I used 4) 100g sultanas Preheat your oven to 170C and line your cake tin with greaseproof paper Weigh out and sieve your dry ingredients (flour, coconut and sugar). Stir with a wooden spoon Pour in the wet ingredients (oil, eggs and banana) and stir this through. Throw in the sultanas and gently combine. Pour into your cake tin and bake in the oven, checking at 35 minutes to see if it needs any longer th...
