3 Ingredient Snickers Bars (aka Reindeer Poops)
As someone who is allergic to most nuts, I’ve never had a Snickers bar, but I have heard they are filled with crunchy peanuts, sweet caramel and coated in chocolate. I’ve not got a very sweet tooth, so I’m subbing in dark chocolate for milk, adding extra plant polyphenols which my gut will love. It’s also got the benefit of …

I used to work at King’s College London as a postdoctoral researcher and there was this little falafel stall just around the corner which would be mine and my colleagues go to spot when we were treating ourselves to lunch out (or running back to the metabolic research unit!).

It is estimated that 28% …
Chocolate Courgette Cake
This cake secretly hides 2 courgettes in it, and you almost can’t tell bar the few flecks of green and yellow here and there. The courgette helps the cake stay moist, and it is in ways close to the texture of a brownie, but it also happens to be egg and dairy-free, meaning it’s suitable for those following a full …
