A prune-based chocolate gluten-free cake, topped with a chocolate frosting and the best part: not just Mini Eggs, but homemade jam-filled peanut butter eggs!

EASTER CAKE
Ingredients:
For the cake –
100g tinned prunes with 3 tbsp juice
100ml oat milk
2 tablespoons almond butter
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
100g gluten-free flour
80g sweetener
1 teaspoon baking powder

For the peanut butter eggs –
2 tablespoons coconut oil
3 tablespoons peanut butter
2 tablespoons sweetener
700g no added sugar white chocolate
6 teaspoons seeded raspberry jam
Mini eggs, to decorate

Make the eggs first: Melt the coconut oil, nut butter and chocolate then stir in the sweetener. Using a 6-hole individual Easter mold, spoon in some of the melted chocolate to cover the shell. Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
Spoon a little jam in the middle of each, then spoon the remaining chocolate over the top of the jam to cover fully. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours to set.

EASTER PROTEIN BALLS 🐣🌼🏡🐰🍫🍫

Ingredients:
100g oat flour
2 scoops vanilla / salted caramel protein powder
50g sweetener
2 tablespoons smooth nut butter
3-4 tablespoons oat milk
Dash of vanilla extract

Divide into about 12 and roll into balls with the psalm of your hand. Place on a lined board and chill in the fridge for 1 hour.
Melt the coconut oil, nut butter and maple syrup, then dunk half of the balls in (I use a fork to place it on, then a spoon over the pan to cover so any excess doesn’t get wasted). Place each on a wire rack and sprinkle over the sprinkles.

#IndulgingInnocently

I believe we should all enjoy food, whatever our preference, dietary or health choice.

I have a huge sweet tooth and love creating recipes but am conscious of how food affects my mood and health - which is where the #IndulgingInnocently concept comes in. Many of my recipes I made from wholesome ingredients while tasting and looking great (because that’s important too!), and are suitable for dairy-free, gluten-free, no refined sugar and vegan diets.

You CAN have your cake and eat it!
