This has to be one of the easiest baking treats I have been making recently. Just 6 ingredients mixed in a bowl and you're done. It can be ready in about 20 mins. Great for a Sunday afternoon sweet fix...

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of wholemeal flour (I use spelt wholemeal)
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1 cup of desiccated or shredded coconut (depending on your taste)
  • 3/4 cup of...

These sweet potato brownies are a sneaky healthy treat! The recipe is super simple to pull together, and you can't taste the sweet potato at all!

  • 1 medium raw sweet potato, peeled and grated (about 2 1/2 cups)
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup real maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 heaped tsp baking powder
  • 1/2-3/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder, depending on how dark...

This is a super easy museli bar and great for the lunchbox, though if you start eating them while they're still warm they may not get that far!

Tahini is sesame seed paste and can be found in the health food section of the supermarket. Use the hulled version as it has a milder flavour. You can substitute the chocolate with dried apricots, raisins and goji berries (chocolate is pretty goof though!)

  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 1-2...

This recipe comes from Mayumi's kitchen (formerly macrobiotic chef for Madonna) and is frequently whipped up my house because so quick and easy with no refined sugars or flours. Hardest part is to stop my 3 year old from sneaking them off the biscuit tray...

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cup almond meal
  • 1 cup oat flour or rolled oats run through blender until fine (which is what I do - takes about a minute)
  • 1...

I tried this recipe from Cookie and Kate and it worked wonderfully! The Pram Power babies and toddlers enjoyed it very much. I like that it does not require the refined sugar and white flour of many other recipes.

  • ⅓ cup melted coconut oil
  • ½ cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2½ medium or 2 large bananas)
  • ¼ cup milk of choice or water
  • 1 teaspoon baking...

These Spiced Ginger Cookies are one of the most popular healthy cookies that I bring to Pram Power morning teas! All you need is a few ingredients blitzed in the food processor, then roll into balls and bake! I use a combination of brown rice flour and almond meal, but you could use all of either one if you want to keep them nut-free.

Makes 12-15 cookies

  • 2 1/2 cups Almond Meal (I use 1 1/2 cups almond meal and 1 cup brown...

I love this recipe from The Healthy Chef, Teresa Cutter. All the ingredients go into one bowl and are mixed to make a lovely cake. The cake uses almond meal which means that it is gluten free and high in protein. The recipe packs in 500g of carrots, which is a great source of vitamin C, B6, potassium and fibre. It is naturally sweetened with maple syrup and raisins.

I usually top the cake with a cream cheese icing (see below) and...

I am a big fan of Janella Purcell and her wholefood cooking. I have been making her bliss balls for years and this recipe can be found in her latest cookbook 'Janella's Super Natural Foods'. You can mix up the ingredients depending on what you have in your cupboard. I usually have almonds and dried apricots in my version. No need to toast the nuts but it's quick to dry toast in a fry pan.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup puffed millet,...

I was never a fan of custard or trifle growing up. I found this recipe a few years ago in my cookbook “Feeding the bump” by Lisa Neal and it’s since become my “Christmas go to dessert”. It always goes down really well! This modern version uses yoghurt and seasonal fruit of raspberries and peaches to create a healthier dessert than the original version of my childhood. It is also a fabulous finale to a summer barbeque or dinner party. You can...
