Looking for a nourishing pancake with minimal ingredients and no added sugar? Look no further than these simple single serve oatmeal pancakes.They're so easy to make it's a bit crazy and you're sure to have all the ingredients in your pantry already.Delicious right out of the fry pan with banana and nut butter or as shown with stewed apple and cacao nibs. They're also fabulous cold with some nut butter and chia jam.

You may have noticed I'm on a bit of a buckwheat kick recently (after my Vegan Buckwheat Nut and Seed Loaf). I'm loving it as an alternative to oats in the mornings now the weather is cooler.Despite what its name suggests, buckwheat is not actually a wheat grain, but a fruit seed, related to rhubarb. Naturally gluten-free, buckwheat is high in protein, fibre, and antioxidants, and boasts a range of health benefits including supporting heart health and digestive disorders.

There are lots of websites online featuring nut and seed loaves, some with oats, some with quinoa, some with added sweetener or gluten-free flours. I decided to share my own go-to loaf which I make about once every 2 weeks, slice and keep in the freezer for quick nourishing breakfasts or with soup for lunch. This recipe has come about after trial and error and lots of experimenting with various ingredients (and having to substitute things because I'd run out!).

I'm a total sucker for foods with great texture. That's why I love a good chia pudding! I know most people are very polarised and either love or hate these little seeds, but I'm a fan!Other than the great texture, and the delicious taste you can create (when using this recipe!) chia seeds are also an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, rich in antioxidants, and they provide fiber, iron, and calcium. 

I love a good granola recipe and am always trying out new combinations.This was a great one I made for friends last Christmas as gifts and it went down really well!

As a child, CookieTime Apricot and Chocolate Bumper Bars were my favourite!I used to save my pocket money and buy them at the school tuck shop. Not only were they delicious but teenager me thought they were a healthier alternative to chocolate bars.

Easy to make, this makes a nice change to a toasted granola.Nutty and slightly sweet, it pairs perfectly with yoghurt and fruit in the morning or to top your smoothie bowl. Or even do as I do, and eat it straight off the spoon from the fridge!

Have you made a resolution to try and get the kids eating healthier breakfasts? Having trouble weening them off their old favorites? This recipe really couldn't be easier and may just be your solution!And no, they're not just for the kids! I love these as a smoothie topping or I grab a handful as a snack when I need the taste of chocolate.

We all know kids (and adults, lets be honest) love cereal for breakfast. However, the vast majority of breakfast offerings in supermarkets are laden with refined sugars and flours, both of which wreak havoc on our bodies.Here is a healthified alternative the kids will adore (but keep the jar up high or out of sight, otherwise it won't last long!)

This delicious nutrient packed little balls are a great addition to your Sunday meal prep for the week. I make them and keep them in a glass jar for a mid morning snack or an after-dinner treat.They work perfectly as a grab and go breakfast if you're pressed for time and are brilliant for lunch boxes too as they hold together well for little fingers.

Excess brown bananas to use up? Let that be the ONLY excuse you need to try this delicious loaf. I mean really, chocolate, peanut butter and banana....who doesn't love that combination?
