You know how when you go grocery shopping when you

You know how when you go grocery shopping when you're hungry, you tend to find more things you "need" then is actually on your list?⁠⠀
⁠⠀
That happened to me last Easter. I was craving hot cross buns and instead of being civilised and buying one pack, I somehow ended up with 3 in my cart.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
You can guess what happened. I couldn't eat them all in time and one pack got very stale. But instead of throwing them out, I chucked them in a tray with butter, cacao powder, and cream and ended up with the most delightful Chocolate Hot Cross Bun Bread Pudding!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
It's the perfect finish to an Easter roast. If you don't have any leftover hot cross buns, you could use any stale bread you have to hand. #reducefoodwaste⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Grab the full recipe on my blog @naturallysweet_kitchen. Search term: BUN PUDDING.⁠⠀

Join me on THURSDAY at 12.30PM BST for a LIVE bake-along! 👩🏻‍🍳 We'll be making these Cranberry Almond Vegan Breakfast Cookies! Ingredients are listed on the next slide, so SAVE THIS POST for your shopping list! 🔖⁠⠀
⁠⠀
These are the perfect cookie to bake right now because they're incredibly versatile and quick to make. You can use basically any nuts, seeds, dried fruit, liquid sweetener, and chocolate you have on hand!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Plus, they don't require any eggs and only a measly 50g of flour. I don't know about you, but I'm saving the four eggs I have left for dire necessity and I'm very precious about what I use my flour for. Conservation is the name of the game rn! 🤣⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I hope you'll join me for the bake-along on Thursday! Please save me from talking to myself for 30 minutes. I already do that enough as it is these days! 😅⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Full recipe is on the blog as well @naturallysweet_kitchen. Search term: BREAKFAST COOKIES.⁠⠀

You've probably noticed that I've been taking a li

You've probably noticed that I've been taking a little break from Instagram recently. I haven't been showing up in Stories as much as I normally do & my static feed posts have been relatively generic. So I thought I'd take a moment & let you in on where my head's been lately.⠀
⠀
As most of you are now aware, I suffer from anxiety & have suffered depression in the past. Last week was very difficult for me emotionally as we entered lockdown here in the UK.⠀
⠀
Alongside empty grocery store shelves, apocalyptic messaging in the news and on social & idiots who refuse to stay in at the weekend, I also lost multiple freelance contracts and potentials.⠀
⠀
This isn’t a shock. It’s completely expected given the situation we’re all facing as we try to navigate this new way of life & daily routine.⠀
⠀
What did come as a shock is the intense fear I felt over losing nearly my entire income overnight. I wasn’t as prepared for it as I could have been. I’m very new to self-employment & there’s a constant learning curve to running a small business.⠀
⠀
All of this happening at once sent me into a tailspin of anxiety and panic.⠀
⠀
In times like these, I find it easier to turn inward & focus on myself and the people closest to me. Over the past few days I’ve pulled back from social media to get to grips with this new reality we’re all facing & figure out how best to show up for you during this uncertain time.⠀
⠀
YOU are the heart of my business. Everything I do here – recipe development, photography, Instagram Stories, content series, all the boring behind the scenes stuff – is all in an effort to help you live a happier & less stressed life. I can’t do what I do without you.⠀
⠀
I want to thank everyone who reached out to me over the weekend with their unconditional love & support. You have no idea how much your warm words have impacted me & I hope you know that I'm ALWAYS here for you too. Now more than ever, we need to know we aren't alone in this.⠀
⠀
Things might be a bid ad hoc from here for a little while, but we'll weather this storm together with lots of comfort food & grace. Stay healthy! ❤️⠀

NEW | Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal! This is seriously

NEW | Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal! This is seriously the best thing since sliced bread. 😍⁠⠀
⁠⠀
How do I know this? Because 1️⃣ carrot cake is the best cake to ever exist in the world (don’t @ me), and 2️⃣ oatmeal is one of the most nutrient-packed, heart-healthy, and filling breakfasts you can eat.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
It only made logical sense to combine the two. 💁🏻‍♀️⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Here are just a few reasons why you're gonna ❤️ this vegan, gf baked oatmeal:⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I’m not kidding when I say that this baked oatmeal literally tastes like carrot cake. 🥕The flavours in this recipe are INSANE and jam-packed!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
It’s not dry! Hallelujah! 🙌🏻 A lot of baked oatmeal recipes I’ve tried online tend to be quite dry and stodgy. I like my oatmeal creamy, and that’s exactly what I’ve done with this recipe. The cashew butter and coconut oil lend extra moisture and creaminess that takes this brekkie over the top!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Fun textures! 🤩 Thanks to the crunchy walnuts, juicy popping sultanas, shredded carrot, and desiccated coconut, this baked oatmeal is packed with 'em. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
This is a small batch recipe! 💃🏻 You asked for it and I was only too happy to deliver. It makes 2-3 individual baked oatmeals. However, if you wanted to feed a crowd, you could double, or even triple the recipe and bake it in a large rectangular pan.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I hope you give it a go this weekend! I would be honoured if you made it your Easter brunch choice. 😌⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Full recipe is linked in me bio 👉🏻 @naturallysweet_kitchen⁠⠀

Hot Cross Buns are showing up EVERYWHERE rn, but have you ever tried making your own? 🤔⁠⠀

Don't be intimidated by yeast baking! I promise it's actually quite easy and lots of fun. It's a great way to take advantage of all this home time as well! 👏🏻⁠⠀
⁠⠀

⁠⠀
Send me a photo when you bake them – I wanna see your BUNS! 🤣⁠⠀

In my opinion, spring has sprung. 🌸 Therefore, I think it's high time I busted out the Strawberry Daiquiri Cupcakes!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
This is one of the first recipes I published OTB back in 2018. A sweet vanilla cupcake filled with a tangy lime curd and topped with a healthy dollop of the sweetest, fluffiest strawberry Swiss meringue buttercream.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
They're a dream! 😍⁠⠀
⁠⠀
And there's no better way to celebrate #NationalCocktailDay imho. 💁🏻‍♀️⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Grab the recipe for these #refinedsugarfree cupcakes on my website 👉🏻 @naturallysweet_kitchen. Search term: DAIQUIRI⁠⠀

NEW | The Best Peanut Sauce EVER! This is without

NEW | The Best Peanut Sauce EVER! This is without a doubt my favourite sauce in the entire world. 🤸🏻‍♀️⁠⠀
⁠⠀
You’ve probably cottoned on by now that I have a major addiction to peanut butter. So it should come as no surprise that along with adding it to my oatmeal, baking, smoothies, and eating it straight up with a spoon, I also pour it all over my chicken, tofu, beef, and salads in the form of this peanut sauce.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
It’s ridiculous how often I crave it. It’s nutty, savoury, spicy, salty, and tangy – just the way a good peanut sauce should be. 🤩⁠⠀
⁠⠀
You are going to LOVE having this in your arsenal! It goes with EVERYTHING. Here are just a few of the ways I use it:⁠⠀
⁠⠀
🥜To marinate chicken, beef, pork, or tofu⁠⠀
🥜As a stir fry or pad Thai sauce⁠⠀
🥜As a dipping sauce for chicken or veggie skewers⁠⠀
🥜As a coleslaw or salad dressing⁠⠀
🥜Drizzled over lettuce cups⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The options are endless! I can’t wait to see how you use it. Don’t forget to tag me in your photos – I’d love to share! 🧡⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Grab the recipe at the link in my bio @naturallysweet_kitchen.⁠⠀
