Looking for a healthy chocolate treat to hit those sweet cravings? While this is refined sugar free it is packed with sweetness from dates and bananas. This is super easy to make in a Thermomix or a high powered blender. The goji berries give it a sweet crunchy texture and you can experiment with different types of nuts.
Heston Blumenthal inspired BBQ sauce with an espresso hit. Use this espresso BBQ sauce on your smoked meats, steaks, burgers… any type of meat really!
One of the selling points of buying a Thermomix is the ability to make delicious home made mayonnaise. While we normally use Kewpie (Japanese) mayonnaise for use in small doses if we need a lot of it for potato salad or a dipping sauce there is really no better option than fresh home made.
If you are looking for family friendly, healthy, refined sugar free, gluten free and delicious recipes head over to The Fit Interest website or follow them on Instagram. After seeing these chocolate brownies posted over Easter Mr Messy Benches put his request in for me to get baking.
Tiramisu is a decadent traditional Italian dessert that can be made with savoiardi (sponge finger) biscuits for an easy and delicious dessert. Some recipes call for raw egg to be used though I choose to leave it out. I do, however, include philadelphia cream cheese in the cake to maintain a think consistency.
Gluten free muffins with the option to be dairy free and refined sugar free. These are made with coconut flour, a flour with a unique taste that requires some experimentation when it comes to quantities.

Fortnum & Mason hot cross bun shortbread make for a great change to the usual Easter fare. I have converted the recipe for Thermomix.
Craving a sweet treat but want something on the healthier side? These little balls will hit the spot. They are also great for a breakfast on the run. The protein powder is optional.
No need to buy store bought protein balls or bars when you can make them at home. There are a variety of different textures and flavours available at local supermarkets, health food stores and at shopping centre juice bars but nothing beats homemade.
Delicious seed and nut crunch – so many flavours and so many different textures. This can be adapted to be FODMAPS friendly by replacing almonds with macadamia nuts.
Both Craig and I are huge fans of Heston and his scientific approach to cooking. We have his Heston at Home cookbook and have made these bacon & banana cookies before. This time I decided to convert them for the Thermomix. They are a great combination of sweet and savoury with a biscuit crunch.
With Easter just around the corner I have started making Easter treats for my family hampers. I really do enjoy experimenting with flavours and textures in different types of chocolate.

My mother is a fan of all things Royal and several years ago I cut out a recipe for Date and Walnut loaf from a local newspaper which is the inspiration for these tamarind muffins.
Chicken marinated in a mix of honey and soy with a few extras tastes great especially grilled on the barbecue. Whether it be chicken thighs, wings or breasts this honey soy marinade works a treat. Throw in some chopped chilli if you like the heat!

Cashew, coconut, honey. Three ingredients blended for 20 seconds makes a delicious natural, no bake and gluten free slice with the option to be dairy free too!
My favourite type of ice cream! Mint choc chip ice cream made at home with coconut cream. You can make it with regular cream or, if you’re on a dairy free diet, you can use coconut condensed milk.
I love a breakfast smoothie and a green smoothie is even better! By adding protein powder, spinach and baby kale to my smoothie there is no need for snacks.
