BANANA BREAD GRANOLA

Sweetened with just bananas and a little honey, this granola tastes amazing with yoghurt/kefir and some fresh berries. The nuts and seeds provide lots of lovely fats, protein and fibre alongside the complex carbs from the oats to help keep you feeling fuller for longer.

BAKED EGG LOAF

You can use up any left over veggies you have lying around to make this. I prefer making this in a loaf tin but you can also make them into muffins. Simply divide the mixture into muffin cases instead. A great recipe for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

RHUBARB, GINGER & ORANGE COMPOTE

I love the colours in this recipe and it always reminds me of the start of summer. Rhubarb can be quite tart so feel free to add more maple/honey if you like your compotes quite sweet. This could be a great breakfast, dessert or snack addition and feel free to experiment with different flavours or toppings too!

APPLE, PEAR AND GINGER COMPOTE

My aunt and uncle dropped round some homegrown apples which I immediately made into a compote with pear and grated ginger to add to my breakfasts. I would recommend keeping the skins on for the extra fibre and feel free to incorporate other fruits/spices for added variety. Some people find fruit easier to digest when cooked and ginger has a wonderfully soothing effect on the digestive system.

ZA’ATAR AND CANNELLINI BEAN DIP

Za’atar is a Middle Eastern spice mix that you can buy or make from scratch. It usually contains a combination of sesame, sumac, thyme, oregano, cumin, coriander and salt. I lather it on meat/fish/roasted veggies etc and have just discovered it tastes AMAZING in dips. We’ve been munching on this toast, with crudités, roasted veg and on its own.

CHOCOLATE ORANGE GRANOLA

This makes the flat smell like brownies and is unbelievably moreish. If you like chunky granola, leave to cool completely once cooked without stirring before breaking it up into clusters. It will last a few weeks in an airtight container too.
