Healthier chocolate donuts


Healthier donuts, yes for real and Mr Sweet has given them a taste test stamp of approval.

But I can not tell a lie. Before we get carried away here these donuts are not actual health food. They are just a healthier option than the dozens I have been buying from all the fabulous donut shops that have been popping up around the place.

Yup donuts are definitely the new cupcake around here anyway and the trend is the more loaded with sugar, candy and lollies the better. In fact pop a donut onto a cream loaded milkshake, add cookies and chocolate and pretty much you have an Instagram viral photo that everyone will swoon over.

I'm not complaining I love an over the top sweet as much as the next person, but I still like to fit into my skinny jeans, so in truth on a daily basis I am more likely to indulge in something like these healthier option donuts.

Made with wholemeal (wholewheat) flour, yogurt, olive oil, baked not fried, I have then topped them with dark chocolate because I read somewhere it's full of antioxidants ;)


In fact I sometimes send these donuts without the chocolate glaze to school and donut :) feel guilty about it at all.

To make these you will need a donut baking tin. I picked mine up from Big W (Australia for about $14) and I have used it for a few different donut related baking treats so I felt it was a worthwhile purchase.

I've found you can bake most cupcake or muffin mixes in the tin, just be sure to only fill it 1/3 to 1/2 full. I like to use a disposable piping bag to fill my tins, way less mess and if you don't have any handy you can use a plastic ziplock bag with the corner cut out.

Also in un-donut related news, I have had a few people sharing their pictures when they make my recipes or decorated cookies lately and I just love it, always feel free to pop through a post or tag me HERE on instagram.


Healthier Chocolate Donuts makes 10 donuts, recipe can be doubled
If you don't have a donut pan you can make 6 regular sized muffins. If you like you can glaze the donuts with a simple ganache (recipe below) and add chocolate crisp pearls or sprinkles.

1 cup wholemeal (whole wheat) flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup 2% fat greek yogurt (I used Chobani)
2 Tbsp 2% fat milk (US 2 Tbsp + 2tsp)
1 large egg
1/4 cup sugar
Olive oil spray

Preheat oven to 160 C fan forced (325 F)

Place all ingredients in a large bowl and mix with a spoon until well combined.

Spray donut baking tin with olive oil spray



Place mixture in a large disposable piping bag, cut off the tip and pipe the donut mixture into the prepared donut baking tin. Only fill each cavity 1/2 fill as the mixture will rise.

Bake in preheated oven for 10 -12 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. 

Remove donuts from pan, serve warm if you like or cool on a wire rack and dip in chocolate glaze (recipe below). 

Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.


Chocolate Ganache Glaze for dipping approx 10 donuts
60 grams (2oz) dark chocolate
30 grams (1 oz) cream

Place chocolate and cream into a microwave safe bowl and heat at high for 50 seconds. Remove, let sit for 60 seconds and then whisk until smooth.

Hold each donut by the edges and dip the tops into the chocolate glaze, add sprinkles if desired. Chocolate glaze will take a few hours to set, but that's ok you can eat it before it sets.

Triple Chocolate Meringue Tart for Tickle the Imagination Magazine


Are you ready for chocolate overload. Like really seriously chocolate on chocolate on chocolate overload.

'Cause if you are the Triple Chocolate Meringue Tart I created for the latest issue of Tickle the imagination completely fits the bill.


You can find the recipe for it along with a stack of other amazing things to make and interesting stories about things Australian and handmade in the latest Home issue. Here is a free sneak peek of the magazine: http://bit.ly/1L4Mncb


But wait there's more. In the past few days the Handmade Coorperative - Australian Handmade 4 Kids have been having an online #TickleTour and it's been so fun watching them all make different items from the magazine. I'm kind of needy so I've been getting a big kick out of seeing them post pictures after they make the tart themselves. Plus some of the other crafty stuff they have been making is totally inspiring me to give it a go.


Make sure you pop up a picture on Instagram or Facebook if you get the magazine and make the tart yourself. I'd love to see it.

Golden Things Cupcakes with Nutella Dream Frosting


This Nutella frosting is so dreamy I might have eaten a spoonful or two while decorating the cupcakes.

Also I was kinda happy when there were a few of the bark shards leftover and I had no other option but to eat all of them. Everyone knows unevenly decorated cupcakes are just a fight waiting to happen.

I made them with Lindt milk chocolate and they were so good you could serve them as they are.

Which is what makes these cupcakes so good, every element by itself is delicious so putting it together comes up with a super delicious treat.

I've had these in mind since I made my Chocolate Peanut Layer Extravaganza Cake and when I was at the supermarket I saw Ferrero Rocher chocolates were on sale. It was totally a sign.


And because Ferrero Rocher's are wrapped in golden paper I wanted to make the cupcakes gold. I used Robert Gordon gold cupcake cases and edible gold which always add a bit of fabulousness to any cupcake.

Also just so you know, it seems I can not be trusted with edible gold as once I get it out I put it on everything. It's just sooooo pretty I can't help myself.

I made a few without the golden cases and Ferrero Rocher chocolates and they were delicious as well pretty much because....yup Nutella dream frosting :)


I've included the full recipe below exactly as I made it, but like I always say do what makes you happy. If you want to use a packet mix for the cupcakes to save time and then just make up the Nutella Dream Frosting go ahead. If Ferrero Rocher chocolates are not on sale, skip them and if you prefer a different brand of chocolate, who am I to tell you different.

Happy Baking


Some Stockists (many online stores and baking specialty shops stock these items)

United States of America




Australia - Baking Pleasures stocks edible gold leaf and Ateco piping tips
Robert Gordon baking cases are available at many kitchen and homeware stores or online
23k Edible Gold (25 sheets/Transfer Type) 23k Edible Gold (25 sheets/Transfer Type)


Golden Things Cupcakes with Nutella Dream Frosting (makes 18 cupcakes)
I've used edible gold which is available from specialty stores see end of post for some places you can buy it. It is completely optional.

18 Chocolate Cupcakes (recipe below)
1 batch Nutella Dream Frosting (recipe below)
Almond Bark (recipe below)
18 Ferrero Rocher Chocolates unwrapped (optional decorated with a little edible gold leaf)

Place a large star tip onto a piping bag (I uses Wilton # ) and fill half full with the Nutella Dream Frosting. Start piping on the left outside of the cupcake and pipe a circle around the outside edge, when you reach the start move the piping inwards to pipe a smaller circle. You should apply consistent pressure to the piping bag and when you reach the top gently release the pressure as you pull up.

Press in 2 shards of almond bark into the frosting with the widest edge along the bottom in the back half of the cupcake frosting.

Press a Ferrero Rocher chocolate into the front of the cupcake.

Can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge. Remove container from fridge and allow to come to room temperature for 30 minutes prior to serving.


Almond Bark Shards with Edible Gold
It is very important to always make sure your bowl and spoon are completely dry when working with chocolate. I have used Lindt milk chocolate as it is what I have, but you can use any chocolate you would be happy to eat including dark or bittersweet.

200 g (7 oz) Lindt milk chocolate cut into small pieces
80 g (2 3/4 oz) slivered almond (blanched almonds cut into strips)
Edible gold leaf (optional)

Line a tray with baking/ parchment paper.

Melt the chocolate in the microwave at medium low heat for 2 minutes. Allow to stand for a minute stir until all lumps have melted. If required return to the microwave for 30 seconds at medium low stand for 1 minute and then stir (repeat this step as required).

Pour the almond into the bowl and mix until it is completely coated with chocolate.

Spread the chocolate almond mixture onto the paper lined tray and allow to set to room temperature. Remove the paper and chocolate from tray onto a cutting board and cut the chocolate into irregular shards.

Optional - press gold leaf transfer sheet onto the chocolate with edible gold side down touching the chocolate. The heat from your finger should be enough to melt it a bit so it adheres, if not you can brush a tiny amount of water onto the chocolate so the gold adheres.

Store in an airtight container until required, up to 2 weeks.

The edible gold pictured is on a transfer sheet. Some edible gold comes loose. 
That's ok for this type of use.

115 g (4oz) unsalted butter at room temperature cut into small cubes
1 1/4 cup caster sugar (superfine sugar) use regular white sugar if caster not available

Gluten Free Chocolate Chocolate Cookies


Shhhh, don't tell anyone. They will never ever know these chocolate, chocolate chip cookies are gluten free and celiac friendly.

Ok then tell your friends that are gluten intolerant, in fact share this gluten free recipe all around because it's a keeper, the cookies are soft and filled with chocolate chips and chunks and they stay soft for a couple of days.


Eating gluten free is a necessary way of life for many people and luckily these days there are quite a few options available in the supermarket to help out.

If you do a lot of gluten free baking you will probably already know that there are some things you need to put into your flour to give it a bit of help. I find it can be expensive to have a pantry full of stuff like guar gum and tapioca starch for the occasional cookie or biscuit I make.

So I buy a gluten free flour that already has those things added. The one I use at the moment is Orgran as I have found it to be a good all purpose flour but if you make your own or have another brand you like just substitute that in my recipe.


If you are living a gluten free life I hope you enjoy these cookies, they can be frozen and kept for a few months after baking.

For more gluten free options check out my recipe for macarons (CLICK HERE) which are also gluten free and super delicious.

Happy Baking



Gluten Free Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe Makes around 16 cookies
Do not be tempted to over bake the cookies they will continue to bake and harden as they cool.

260g (9 1/4 oz) Orgran All Purpose Flour
30g (1 oz) cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder (make sure it's gluten free)
115g (4oz) unsalted butter
60g (2oz) cream cheese
115g (4oz) brown sugar
60g (20oz) white sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 1/4 cups chocolate chips (I used dark bittersweet)
Optional 1/4 cup extra chocolate chunks to press into top

Preheat oven to 160C (320 F ) and line 2 trays with baking paper.

Sift together flour, cocoa and baking powder and set aside until required.

Place butter, cream cheese, brown sugar and white sugar in a large bowl and mix at low speed until combined. Increase speed to high and mix for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture is well creamed and lightened in color.

Reduce mixer speed to low, add vanilla and egg and mix until combined.

Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined then add the chocolate chips mixing until the chips are distributed evenly.

Place approx 2 Tbsp mounds of cookie dough onto the prepared baking trays leaving. Flatten the cookie dough slightly. If you would like to add extra chocolate chunks to the cookie press a few into the top of each cookie at this stage.

Bake in preheated oven for 12 minutes, the cookies should still be soft to touch, but don't worry they should be fine.

Remove from oven and allow to cool on tray.

Keep in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Cookies can be frozen wrapped separately in plastic wrap and placed in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.

M'mores warm melty marshmallow macarons


Y'all know I live in Australia, which is pretty great generally, but one thing we don't have is graham crackers.

I know what is with that! Of course we have other crackers (or biscuits as we call them) but nothing quite like graham crackers so sadly no s'mores for us.

But I'm not one to mope about and I decided to turn a batch of macaron shells I had sitting about into m'mores.

Oh boy, they were good, but I don't have to tell you that. In my book pretty much anything with flowing warm chocolate and melty marshmallows is a win in baking terms. Messy but oh so good.


And then in my warm gooey sugar haze I thought, what if I put an Oreo cookie in as well.

I think the picture above speaks for itself.


I've topped my M'mores with edible gold leaf , but it's a completely visual thing so you can leave it off if you like. If you do decide to use it make sure it's the edible version from a reliable source (In Australia try Cakes Around Town, in the US try Amazon Edible Gold Leaf Sheets CLICK HERE )

Happy Baking











M'mores Recipe (macarons with melted marshmallow and chocolate)
M'mores are of course best eaten immediately to experience the warm ganache and melted marshmallow. However filled macarons can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Ingredients
40 Macaron Shells colored brown or caramel (Click here for my recipe)
10 Large marshmallows (or 20 regular marshmallows)
100 g dark chocolate
50 g cream
Optional - Edible Gold Leaf

Make chocolate ganache by placing the cream and chocolate into a microwave safe dish and heating at medium for 2 minutes, let stand for a minute and use a hand whisk until all chocolate is melted. If lumps still remain heat at 30 second intervals until all the chocolate is melted.

Place ganache into a ziplock bag or disposable piping bag and set aside until required.

Place half the macarons on a baking tray with the hard shell facing down.

Cut marshmallows in half and place on top of the macarons on the baking tray. Push the sticky cut side of the marshmallow gently onto the macaron shell.

Optional - brush a very small amount of water onto the top of the remaining macarons and adhere a small amount of edible gold to the top of each macaron shell.

Set a rack in the oven near the top and turn the grill (broiler) on high. Place the marshmallow topped macarons under the grill (broiler) and cook until the marshmallows turn golden. Alternatively you can use a handheld kitchen blowtorch to toast the marshmallows.


Cut a small hole in the corner of the ziplock bag holding the ganach and pipe dollops of ganache onto the top of each macaron. Press a macaron half onto the top of the warm ganache.

Serve immediately.

Oreo Macaron Variation You will require 20 Oreo Cookies.

Follow instructions as above, after you have piped ganach onto the top of the marshmallow, press an oreo on top and then pipe a small amount of ganache onto the top of the Oreo. Finally press the other macaron shell on top.

I'll have what she's having Nutella Cookies


Welcome to my kitchen, where it's kinda obvious I can not resist any type of pretty thing for my house.

It's been a problem for a while now, you might have noticed over the years I have the same thing going on with food which I frequently decorate with pink sugar flowers and sprinkles, because most everything tastes better that way.

But not these cookies. Nope, they will not win any beauty contests, but oh the taste, the yummy chocolately taste will win you over in no time.

There seems to be a lot of ingredients, but these are easy to make if you have a mixer to help cream the butter and sugar together. Just follow the steps and soon you will have a batch of soft chocolately cookies of your own.

Also make sure you take them out while they are still soft, they will continue to cook on the tray a little bit and as they cool they will harden up a little bit.

Like all chocolate chip cookies I love them best when they are still a bit warm, but if you can resist you can store them in a cookie jar for up to 3 days.

Happy Baking Xx

Preheat oven to 160C (320 F) and line 2 or 3 trays with baking paper.

Sift together flour, cocoa powder, cornflour (cornstarch) and bicarb soda (baking soda).

Cream butter and both sugars for approx 3 minutes at high speed. Reduce speed to medium-low and mix in egg and then Nutella until combined.

Place approx 2 Tbsp (US 2 1/2Tbsp) mounds of cookie dough onto prepared trays leaving enough room for the cookie to spread during baking. Flatten the cookie dough slightly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. The cookies will still be soft when you remove them, however leave on trays to cool and you will be able to pic them up.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Chocolate Hot Cross Bun Recipe


I love baking, love it. But for some reason when it comes to hot cross buns I usually buy them from the bakery or supermarket.

But this weekend we had a bit of free time so I whipped up some myself taking an old traditional hot cross bun recipe and modifying to add chocolate chips, removing all that unnecessary dried fruit and changing the bun into a chocolate bread with a lightly fragrant cinnamon base.

Deliciously perfect just baked Chocolate Hot Cross Buns

I don't know why it took me so long, look at that picture, delicious just baked softly fragrant buns and oh my goodness the house smells even better than those buns look.

Plus it cost me way less than the bakery ones, so economical as well.

They were super easy as I used my stand mixer's dough hook attachment and saved about 10 minutes time of hand kneading, although don't worry, the recipe will work out just fine hand kneading if you don't have a dough hook/stand mixer.


I find the key things for successful baking with yeast is to not overheat and to prove the yeast prior to mixing into the other ingredients. Oh and time, you can't really rush it, I made the ones in the picture in about 2 1/2 hours including rising and baking time but I would normally set aside at least 3 hours.

Chocolate Hot Cross Bun Recipe makes 12 large hot cross buns
I use premix royal icing mixed with water to a piping consistency.

2 X 7g packets yeast 14g total (1/2 oz total)
1 tsp caster sugar
3/4 cup milk (6 fl oz)
50 g unsalted butter (1 3/4oz) melted/softened
1 large egg
1/2 cup milk (4 fl oz) extra
525 g plain (18 1/2 oz all purpose flour)
70 g caster sugar (2 1/2 oz)
25 g cocoa (7/8 oz)
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
230 grams chocolate chips (8 oz)  # the baking kind that hold shape.
1/2 cup royal icing mixed with  1/2 tsp cocoa and 1/4 tsp cinnamon.

Put milk in microwave safe jug and heat in microwave for around 15- 20 seconds at high so that it is warm to touch (not hot). Using a fork whisk in yeast and 1 tsp sugar and allow to sit around 10 mins until needed.

The yeast should froth up like this

Sift the flour, cocoa, remaining caster sugar, cinnamon and salt together and set aside until required.

In the bowl a large stand mixer with a scraper beater attachment or regular beater, place the butter, egg and 1/2 cup milk and mix for 30 seconds at low speed. Add the yeast mixture and mix another 10 seconds, then add the sifted flour mixture and beat at low speed until all the dry mixture has been incorporated. The mix will be quite sticky.

Switch to a dough hook and mix at medium low speed for a couple of minutes until the mixture is smooth and elastic.* If you do not have a stand mix and dough hook you can knead by hand for around 10 minutes.

Spray a large bowl with oil, place the dough into the bowl, cover with plastic wrap and pop in a warm place to rest for around 1 to 1 1/2 hours until the mixture has doubled in size. I use my oven and turn it up to 50C for a few minutes then turn it off before placing the bowl into the oven, if required I turn the oven light on. It should be just warm not hot.

Once the dough has risen remove from bowl, punch it down and mix in the chocolate chips quickly. I used baking chips which do not melt very quickly, the higher quality chocolate will melt and become a sticky mess.

Dough should be smooth and flexible

Lightly spray a baking tray around 20cm X 30 cm with oil. Shape the dough into 12 even rolls and place into the tray. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest/rise for 30 minutes.

Heat the oven to 190 C (fan forced). Remove the plastic wrap from baking tray and pop the buns in the oven for 10 minutes, reduce the heat to 160 C and cook for a further 20 minutes.

Allow to cool a little. Pop the royal icing into a zip lock bag, cut a small hole in the corner and pipe crossed onto the top of the buns.

Best served immediately although still good next day. Store in airtight container at room temperature.
