Most treats are high in carbs and/or sugar… And what I see most often are cases where a runner is actually needing more healthy fats in their diet. Therefore, to round out a meal with some ‘dessert’ at the end, or even as a snack, these fat bombs can prove quite useful. They are both a tasty treat and at the …
This recipe is an adaptation of one I picked up over 2 years ago – so long ago it’s undergone 10 handwritten renditions and the final cut has actually been part of my recipe book for at least the past year. Needless to say, these brownies are currently my ‘party favourite’ – whenever we have company over, they get brownies …
The inspiration for these simply came from having 3 egg yolks on hand that I didn’t want to toss. I’m rather glad for it, as I think I may just keep an ongoing supply of the lemon topping in the freezer for ever and ever, as probably my most favourite treat ever! The crust requires pulling out the food processor, …
Originally developed for during fat-loading in prep for a race, these ‘fat bombs’ have been an ongoing experiment for the past year – a perfect LCHF (low carb, high fat) snack for all those times you are NOT just headed out the door for a run and therefore don’t need a high carb snack! Of course you could add way more …
My holiday dessert creation for this year! I made a recipe last month that really should have used a tart pan… So I finally bought one and experimented with it. It worked beautifully! The dates make a lovely caramel filling, with the tart cranberries and crunchy almonds being the perfect compliment. And all in a chocolate crust of course, because, …
When a friend sent me a picture of a Cherry and Chocolate Tart from a UK magazine called Delicious asking if I could rework it to make an ‘eat2run’ version – of course I happily accepted the challenge. Anything with chocolate and cherries and I’m pretty much automatically sold!! This would make a lovely holiday dessert – because don’t get me wrong, …
It’s my birthday tomorrow! So why not celebrate with cupcakes today – matcha cupcakes of course, because matcha everything is my favourite. But seriously, the lemon accentuates the matcha flavour just perfectly, making it a tasty mix of citrus and green tea that is deliciously smooth. And of course the matcha adds those wonderful anti-inflammatory catechins to the mix for …
I drink matcha tea every single day. But that doesn’t stop me from looking for ways to sneak more matcha in here and there in baking as well! And it just so turns out that matcha works really, really well in donuts. Healthy treats are my favourite 🙂 Makes 36 mini donuts. Ingredients 2 eggs ½ cup almond (or coconut) milk …
I wanted to try making a fruit square that used a sort of ‘chia jam’ as it’s middle layer… Worked like a charm 🙂 These make a great pre-run snack or even a quick on-the-go breakfast! They would also make a great option to have on hand when carb-loading for a race. Makes 16 squares. Base & Top Ingredients 1½ …
I was in a kitchen store and came across a donut tin (a mini donut tin)… Which for whatever reason called my name as I wondered if I could make a healthy version of a pastime favourite… A few attempts later and I’ve got to say, these do the trick better than just fine – they totally taste like a real donut …
