Is there anything better than warmed biscuits bursting with juicy fresh blueberries enrobed in a sweet sugar glaze? Hint, the answer is no. There's a fast food chicken chain in the south of the United States that makes the most decadent treats: these fluffy American-style biscuits with blueberries and drizzled with glaze. They are delicious, and of course, not gluten-free.

Lactose-Free Pumpkin Spice Latte

This time of year all I need is my favourite autumn accessory: a pumpkin spice latte. I hear you laughing, "A drink as an accessory?!" Believe me; with as often as I've got a homemade latte clutched in my hands, it certainly is an accessory! This pumpkin spice latte is different, though, it's completely lactose free--from the frothy milk inside to the crown of whipped cream on top. And I'm warning you: it's pretty much life.

Oh and one more thing before we get to the ingredients list, don't be tied down by my measurements. Everybody likes their coffee differently. Use as much sugar as you like or no sugar. Make it a triple espresso if want it stronger or even opt for decaf coffee instead. Your brew; your rules!

Make your own frothy and indulgent dairy-free vanilla latte from instant coffee with no expensive gadgets!

Dairy Free Instant Coffee Vanilla Latte

Coffee purists, avert your eyes. As I come to grips with my inability to consume dairy, I've been hunting for substitutions that taste like the real deal and don't take longer to prepare. And the first thing on my list was my morning cup of coffee. I'm one of those "But first, coffee" gals through and through and previously relied on those instant coffee sachets for my quick fix. Since needing to avoid lactose, those are out of the question, so I scrambled to come up with an alternative.

DIY Your Breakfast with Troo Granola's Toasting Kit

Rethink breakfast and transform your morning with a gluten free, vegan-friendly toast-it-yourself granola from Troo!

Stop what you're doing, because I want you to pay attention. I've got the most incredible, delicious, fragrant, heartwarming breakfast ever imagined to share with you. You see that lovely bowl of yum up there? It's filled with yogurt and granola that I toasted and sweetened myself in my own oven just minutes before devouring. It's a TIY (toast-it-yourself) granola kit from the geniuses at Troo and it will change your life.

I first fell in love with the idea of Troo Granola scrolling through some of the popular gluten free hashtags on Instagram and was blown away by their brilliant concept: make your own granola fresh each morning and make your day a bajillion times better. (Okay, so that whole making your day better isn't a marketing promise; it's just my experience of what happened and I'm 98 per cent certain it'll happen to you too.)

Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Coconut Milk Overnight Oats #TastesLikeNoUdder

These gluten-free and dairy-free oats are the easiest breakfast around made with Vita Coco Coconut Milk!

Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Coconut Milk Overnight Oats

Breakfast is my absolute favourite meal of the day and I am an oatmeal fiend. So much so that it's bordering on obsession, and when I saw the challenge to develop a recipe using Vita Coco's new coconut milk, I immediately thought of creamy oatmeal.

Leave that from-the-packet stuff with lumps of dehydrated fruit in the back of your cupboard. I'm going to show you how to make your own fruit-filled, creamy oatmeal that is gluten-free, dairy-free, suitable for vegetarians and vegan-friendly. I've used raspberries and peaches because they're seasonal, go incredibly well with coconut and it was too tempting not to, but you can use any fruit you have on hand or whatever is seasonal.

This recipe is an entry into the Dairy-Free Style Your Breakfast challenge with Vita Coco and Foodies100. See more great breakfast ideas at http://vitacoco.com/uk. As such, this is a sponsored post for Vita Coco, however, all opinions remain my own and I was in no way influenced by the company. You can read my full disclosure policy, here.

Cloud Eggs: The Breakfast that's Prettier than it Tastes

Cloud Eggs are taking social media by storm, but are they worth the hassle?

Cloud Eggs Trending Breakfast

I love a gimmick. And I love eggs, so when I saw cloud eggs trending on Instagram, on Twitter, on actual legitimate news sites I leapt at the chance to try them. These beautiful pillowy concoctions are mesmerising. No two cloud eggs are the same and the golden egg whites looks similar to delicious meringue topping.

But cloud eggs look prettier than they taste. Seriously, they're nasty, y'all. They've got the runny yolk of eggs fried sunny side up. They've got the soft whites of poached eggs. But the texture? It's like eating egg-flavoured cotton candy. Barf, barf, barf. I couldn't even get past the texture to try more than two forkfuls. This is one trend that needs to die quickly. These hyped up eggs are fine for looking at. Just don't put them in your mouth!

Homemade Rose Chai Tea Latte

You know, it makes complete sense for Valentine's Day to be celebrated in winter; there's just something about those long, dark nights that was made for cuddling. Whether you make this romantic brew for your love first thing in the morning or sip it together lazily in bed on Valentine's night, you won't be able to deny how lovey-dovey it makes you feel. Maybe it's the spice of cinnamon, the floral rose petals or the comfort of warm milk--whatever it is, turn the lights down low and embrace those amorous feelings! Valentine's day is for lovers, after all ...

Gluten Free Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

 

Here in Manchester, we're bracing for the coldest part of the winter; with daily frosts and the near-weekly threat of snow, it's comforting to start the day with a warming bowl of hearty oatmeal. Famed for its slow release of energy, oatmeal will keep you full longer than other breakfast alternatives and will ensure you're at your best and ready to start your day, no matter how low the mercury dips! This recipe is a classic combination of tried and true oatmeal flavours suitable for coeliacs, vegans, vegetarians and even those on a dairy free diet.

Ingredients:

For the oatmeal
1/2 cup cashew milk
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 cup gluten free rolled oats
1 small apple, sliced
2 tablespoons brown sugar
handful walnuts
pinch salt
knob cashew or other nut butter

Vegan Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

I absolutely love oatmeal. It's a great blank canvas for breakfast creations, check out this gluten free cashew and Nutella oatmeal, and it makes some pretty boss cookies, too! If you're coeliac and want a good, hearty breakfast ready in minutes flat, be sure to find yourself some suitable oats. Many coeliacs can tolerate traditional oat gluten, but some may be sensitive to it, so opting for a brand that is guaranteed gluten free, will save you from any potential tummy upset. My favourite regular and gluten free brand is Quaker Oats. Their gluten free rolled oats are a bit fluffier than their traditional oats but taste just as yummy!

Instructions:

1. Prepare the oats according to the packet, either in the microwave or on the stove top, whichever you prefer.
2. Once cooked, finish with butter, brown sugar, a pinch of salt and cinnamon. 
3. Top with a handful of walnuts and apple slices and serve with a cold glass of orange juice.

Gluten-Free French Toast Eggy Bread

The classic breakfast of French toast or eggy bread gets a gluten-free makeover just in time for Christmas!

Yield: serves 2
Prep time: 10 minutes

Gluten-Free Eggy Bread

Growing up in the American South, elaborate cooked breakfasts were how you started the weekend and one of my all-time favourites is my mom's French toast. French toast, or eggy bread, as it's called in the UK, is a deliciously simple dish of bread dipped in eggs and pan fried, served with maple syrup and fresh fruit. It works best with slightly stale bread, and given that most gluten free bread naturally has many of the properties of slightly stale normal bread, it works great! This is one of those easy to make yet impressive breakfasts that you could pull out of your back pocket when you have guests or even for Christmas morning.

Boost your iron intake with this berry smoothie bowl scattered with chia and flax seeds!

Yield: 1 smoothie bowl
Prep time: 10 minutes

Gluten Free Berry & Iron Smoothie Bowl

This breakfast is one of those feel-good meals that will invigorate and energise you, whilst keeping you full. You'll notice there aren't any measurements given in the ingredients list, just because I believe smoothies should be made with only the things you like -- and as much or as little of them as you want! I made this recipe in my Nutri Ninja, so the instructions call for you to layer the ingredients so that the biggest bits are closest to the blade. If you are using a traditional blender with the blades in the bottom of the container, reverse the order.

Made overnight, this easy chia pudding is sweet and tart with a touch of honey and ripe blackberries!

Gluten Free Blackberry Vanilla Chia Pudding

Breakfast foods are my favourite, but even though I'm a morning person, I don't always feel like getting up and preparing something first thing in the morning. So after I discovered chia seeds, a friend of mine shared with me this revolutionary breakfast of chia pudding. The best thing about it? You just make it up the night before, leave it in the fridge and you can grab it on your way to work. Easy.

American style pancakes get a scrumptious, lacy gluten free and dairy free makeover!

Yield: at least a dozen pancakes
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes

Gluten Free & Dairy Free "Lace" Pancakes - #GBBOGlutenFree

Let's start with a bit of a lesson: American style pancakes > crepes. Any day of the year. Now that we've gotten that out of the way ... :) I'm back with my version of last week's Technical Challenge on the Great British Bake Off. Paul Hollywood (ever pushing the boundaries and insisting contestants on a baking show don't actually bake) set the task of making beautiful lacy French pancakes. Or crepes.

Personally, I hate crepes. Can't stand them. I'd much rather prefer a thick American style pancake. So when it came time to do this challenge, I stuck to my guns and made the type of pancake batter I'd normally make, with sugar and eggs and pancake mix with baking soda in it. You can take the girl out of America, but you can't take the American pancakes out of the girl. But these aren't your ordinary pancakes; these babies are made with gluten free pancake mix and are completely dairy free as I've used delicious cashew milk instead.

Start your morning with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice with no added sugar!

Yield: 1 250ml glass
Prep time: 5 minutes

Fresh Squeezed Valencia Orange Juice

I cannot resist freshly squeezed orange juice. What used to be a luxury when staying in hotels or dining in restaurants is now a task I can complete in a matter of minutes with my Nutri Ninja. Plus, there's no added sugar, no preservatives; no nasties at all. Nothing but pure, pulpy orange juice just the way God intended.

Health Benefits of a Green Smoothie

If you've been reading this blog for any length of time, you'll probably notice that I do love a good smoothie - I even wrote a breakfast smoothie ebook, once! You can download it for free! Smoothies are like gold dust for me, whether they're traditional out-of-the-glass types or smoothie bowls like this one or this one, I just can't get enough of them.

Gluten Free Raspberry Mango Smoothie Bowl

I mentioned in my very first smoothie bowl recipe (this is my second, so clearly, I'm an expert) that I had been skeptical, but with one slurp from my spoon, I was converted. And it's true! And what that conversion has done is given me the courage to step outside the smoothie bowl box, to chuck more ingredients in the blender and to sprinkle more goodies on top with wild abandon.

Valentine's Decadent Rose Petal Hot Cocoa

This luxurious hot cocoa is fragrant with rose petals, indulgent with cream & the perfect Valentine's drink!

Valentine's Rose Petal Hot Cocoa

Can you honestly think of Valentine's Day without thinking of roses and chocolate? I certainly can't! So when I headed to the kitchen to develop this recipe, I wanted to be inspired by those two Feb 14 staples, but to highlight them in a unique and easy way that anyone could recreate.

There's one thing you should know about this hot cocoa (and any hot cocoa made from scratch): it will taste as good as the quality of the chocolate you use. That is the secret to getting a luxuriously thick and decadent hot cocoa!

Check out that chocolate work heart! So sweet!

Williamson Tea's Kenyan Earth Review

A review of a robust blend of Kenyan Black Tea from Williamson Tea!

 

Review of Kenyan Earth by Williamson Tea

I've always been an elephant lover. Ordinarily, elephants don't really come to mind when you speak of tea, but the lovely folks at family-owned Williamson Tea share my passion for the pachyderms. You cannot think of any of their lovely teas without thinking of elephants. From the moment you reach for their iconic, elephant tea storage tins, to the realisation that they support the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust to their mission to spread the word of the "tea for elephants" movement. My love of elephants isn't why I'm reviewing this tea, however. It's my downright tea snobbery, that brings me to the steaming mug again.

Princes From Concentrate Juice Review

A review of Princes long-life from concentrate juice range!

Long-Life Princes Juice Review

As the mother of a 4-year-old, I buy a lot of juice. Juice is definitely one of our staple food groups in this house, and having options that don't require refrigeration after purchasing is a definite bonus, especially given our limited fridge space.

I'm not usually a drinker of  juices from concentrate as I find they can sometimes taste a bit too artificial, but that's not the case with Princes. Whilst the orange juice has a stronger taste than I was expecting, it's still quite tasty; getting a big seal of approval from Callum!

No matter what, I'm destined to buy juice in every weekly shop. Not only does it keep Callum happy by satisfying a sweet tooth, it also keeps everyone in the family consuming their five a day! The Princes juice range stocks just under a dozen flavour combinations from the smooth orange, apple and apple and raspberry that I tried to mango, tomato and cranberry.

The lovely people at Princes provided me with a sample of juices. Although compensated, none of the views or opinions expressed within this post have been bought, coerced, bribed or influenced. All words are my own and have not been coached or vetted by Princes or anyone else.
