Pear, blueberry and coconut loaf
I had a number of pears that were getting very squishy in the fruit bowl, and they really needed some TLC, so iv’e come up with this tasty pear, blueberry and coconut loaf to use up old pears. I decided on blueberries as that what I had in my freezer! This one isn’t gluten free, but i’m sure you could easily substitute out the plain white flour for gluten free flour. It is however dairy free and nut free, so could make a great kids lunchbox treat.

Coffee choc beetroot cake with cashew coffee icing
I’m in love with the combination of chocolate, coffee and beetroot, its such an unexpected trio, but when mixed together in a cake, produces a beautiful, sweet and healthy result! This recipe is in collaboration with Yahava Koffeeworks, and is made with their Kintamani coffee. I pre-cooked the beetroot, so have not included that in the prep time (I normally keep a few bags of par-cooked beetroot in the freezer for such occasions!).

Gluten free choc chip oat cookies
Its been a terribly long time since i’ve had a warm, freshly baked cookie out of the oven, so I decided to come up with a low GI, gluten free, healthy cookie. This recipe is full of low GI oats, cacao nibs, dark chocolate and has minimal butter and sugar. The cookies are slightly crunchy on the outside, and warm and chewy on the inside. They make a perfect treat for kids going back to school this week, and an even more perfect weekend baking recipe. Please be aware some oats are processed in facilities where gluten based products are also produced, so make sure your get certified gluten free…

Gluten free cherry cake
My sister (who is a chef) has been staying with me in Perth for the last 2 1/2 weeks. Last week she found bulk cherries for $2 at my local family owned supermarket. So the race was on to figure out what to do with so many cherries-I mean we had about 2kg of cherries! So after freezing half of them the other half got made into the most incredible cake I have ever tasted. Issue was, the cake she made was full of gluten, which usually upsets my belly.So instead, I asked her if we could make the cake again, but this time gluten free! This gorgeous cake is…
