1/2 cup coconut sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3 ripe bananas
1/3 cup coconut oil

Method

Method

Method

Preheat oven to 170 degrees C.
Combine all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, mix well.
Combine ‘wet’ ingredients in a high-speed blender, blend until smooth.
Create a well in the centre of the dry mix and gently fold through the blender mix until well combined.
Pour into a greased and lined spring-form cake tin and bake for 20-25 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before removing from the cake tin.
Whilst the cake is cooling, prepare the peanut butter frosting.
Simply combine coconut yoghurt and peanut butter in a small mixing bowl, mix well and place in the fridge.
Once the cake has cooled, spread the frosting on top of the cake, serve and enjoy. Note: we recommend only putting frosting on the cakes you are eating right away.

Affogato style nice cream
This simple nice cream is perfect for dessert, an afternoon treat or a decadent breakfast. For a banana-free option, you can swap out the bananas for an additional 300grams frozen coconut flesh (or vice versa for a coconut-free option). For dessert, we recommend adding a drizzle of chocolate and/or grated dark chocolate for a mocha-style affogato.

Banana Bread
Whenever we bake this loaf, we can’t help but question why most banana bread recipes rely on so much refined sugar. Ripe bananas bring natural sweetness and a boost of nutrients. This recipe is a collab with Sophie (@coconutandbliss).

Blackberry nice cream
This three ingredient nice cream is dairy free, gluten free, nut free, refined sugar free and most importantly - delicious. As with all our nice cream and smoothie bowl recipes, we recommend adding some kind of superfood booster. For this one we opt for freeze fried açai powder as this enhances the nutritional profile while also contributing to the vibrant purple colour. We love keeping it simple by topping with fresh blackberries, coconut yoghurt and toasted coconut flakes.

Chocolate Hazelnut Bark
Our homemade dark chocolate bark is made with just four simple ingredients and comes together in minutes. To keep it nut-free, swap hazelnuts for goji berries, coconut, or any toppings you like. A perfect after-dinner treat to satisfy late-night chocolate cravings.

Chocolate Soufflé Skillet
The ultimate healthy treat. You would never guess this chocolate soufflé skillet was gluten free, dairy free and refined sugar free. It is delicious served with dairy free coconut ice cream or vanilla bean nice cream.

Chocolate Tahini Sauce
Our choc–tahini sauce is a regular in our kitchen—drizzled over pancakes or paired with sweet treats. The base recipe is easy to adapt: add orange juice and zest for a creamy citrus 'jaffa' twist, or use less boiling water to turn it into a rich spread. Try it on gluten-free toast with banana, shredded coconut, and a pinch of cinnamon.

Coconut Bread
A versatile recipe perfect for breakfast or a snack. We love it served with homemade choc-tahini sauce and a sprinkle of desiccated coconut—indulgent but guilt-free. Made in a mini loaf tin or baked as mini coconut muffins, it’s an easy crowd-pleaser.

The Gluten Dilemma
Gluten, the protein found in grains like wheat, barley, and rye, is almost ubiquitous in the Western diet. While gluten-free products have become widely available, many are highly processed and packed with sugars and preservatives, making them less healthy options.

How toxic is your cookware?
In recent years, growing concerns have surfaced around the presence of PFOA and PFAS, often called "forever chemicals," in everyday products like cookware. These synthetic compounds, prized for their non-stick properties, have been linked to a range of potential health risks. If you haven’t watch the Netflix Documentary, Dark Waters, go watch it!

Get to know your Olive Oil
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) is a staple of the Mediterranean Diet, renowned for its health benefits. This diet, which also includes fish, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and whole grains, is consistently considered one of the healthiest in the world.
