Porridge has been my go to breakfast this winter. There’s nothing better than a warming bowl of goodness on a cold morning. I’ve always used rolled oats in my porridge but lately I’ve switched to steel-cut oats. Not that there’s anything wrong with rolled oats but I just thought I’d try something different.

Cacao banana pancakes with coconut yogurt, smashed raspberries and caramelised bananas
As much as I love going out for breakfast on the weekends I also enjoy spending time at home making something special for breakfast that I wouldn’t normally have time to prepare during the week.

Raw vegan avocado chocolate mousse
Up until 3 years ago I wasn’t a big fan of avocados, the flavour just didn’t do it for me. Maybe it was the avocados I grew up with. And if someone would have offered me an avocado dessert I would have probably said there’s no way I am trying this. But then one day…
