This is a delicious recipe for a French Classic. It's my take on it though so I'm not saying it's authentic! I just had a craving for something 'almond-y' so I thought I'd create something a little clafoutis like. This version is gluten free as I used ground almonds but traditionally would be made with flour. 

Raspberry Clafoutis-style dessert 

2 eggs 
1/2 of a 1/4 cup honey 
1 cup semi skimmed milk 
Coconut oil 
50g whole almonds (ground into meal)
3/4 tsp vanilla extract 
Handful of raspberries 

Preheat oven at 190
Put coconut oil on dish and put in oven to melt (about 30secs) 
Once melted, remove from oven and 
Arrange raspberries on dish 
Mix together 
Add to a glass dish 
Bake for 25mins @190 degrees C or until golden and set.

What to have for breakfast? Hmmm... If, like me, the thought of food in the form of breakfast is a big incentive to get up and out of bed in the morning, it's crucial that you pick something good for breakfast! As an avid fan of oats, my breakfast usually has oats in it as some point or another. I often have porridge but some days call for a cold bowl of deliciousness. Days like today, Summer Solstice.
I'll now share with you my go-to for days like this! It's packed with complex carbs for slow release energy, vitamins, calcium and protein. 

Ingredients:
• 1 pear - peeled and cut into small chunks 
• 30g serving oats 
• 6 pecan halves broken 
• Milk (however much or little you like) 

Put it all in a bowl and hey presto you're done!

Here is a tasty way to make porridge, an update spin on a classic breakfast. 


This recipe is can be dairy free by using water but if you use milk, the coconut and milk goes together to make a deliciously coconut-ty creaminess. While the date gives it natural sweetness along with the coconut and the cinnamon adds a little spice. 


Ingredients:


30g oats


180ml water or milk 


1tbsp desiccated coconut 


1/2 tsp cinnamon 


1 or 2 dried date(s) (finely chopped) 


1 tsp honey (can leave out if using milk or if you're wanting less sugar)


Method:


1. Put everything into a pan

2. Stir on a medium heat until thickened to your taste 

3. Serve and top with more coconut or Greek yoghurt
