I’m thinking you want healthy treat options for your family this Easter. There’s no need to miss out on Easter traditions when healthy marshmallow bunnies and chickens can be made with additive free ingredients and coated in homemade or dairy-free organic chocolate. This recipe is vanilla flavoured, see my Pink Marshmallow recipe to make both colours.

A delicious nut-free version of Hot Cross Buns. These traditional Easter Buns have a more bread-like texture than regular gluten-free muffin style Hot Cross Buns. Spiced with cinnamon and allspice and glazed to add a beautiful shine to their tops. Perfect for school lunch boxes.

No-fuss chocolate muffins made in minutes. A perfect nut-free snack to pack into school lunch boxes (use 1/4 cup of raw cacao for children, more for an extra chocolaty flavour). All the ingredients go into a blender and in seconds your muffins are in the oven, the kind of recipe a busy mum needs.

My favourite way to eat these yummy sweet grain free pancakes, is to top them with coconut yoghurt and fresh strawberries, a drizzle of honey and a sprinkling of cinnamon. For a very special treat or a birthday breakfast, you could add 1/4 cup of dark chocolate chips (no soy, paleo friendly of course), just mix them through the batter by hand before cooking.

Why would I make a homemade “Aussie Spread” recipe? I can hear you say, what about store-bought black spreads? Most of us would be able to sing the TV ad ‘We’re happy little Vegemites, as bright as bright can be, we all enjoy our Vegemite for breakfast, lunch and tea‘.

Over the holidays, my wife and I baked a Tim Tam Cheesecake, not once, not twice, but three times!
(Shout out to Kris who gave me the recipe – see below.)

Lamingtons are such an Australian icon. When my mother made Lamingtons when I was a kid, it was a sign guests were coming. So for Australia Day I decided to create my own healthier version.

Gingerbread cookies are a traditional Christmas treat. This healthy paleo version of gingerbread has a slightly soft and chewy centre and is topped with homemade white chocolate icing. The icing dresses the cookies up for Christmas but best of all it makes them taste so good!

These Chocolate Buttons are a perfect no-bake, no-fuss healthy treat. They can be made in minutes, then put aside to set in the fridge or freezer. No stress here, just a colourful treat to share over the holiday season.

Christmas cookies free from wheat, gluten, soy, nuts, eggs, refined sugars and dairy (ghee used), with a yummy shortbread flavour. A great Christmas treat option for children with allergies.
