Recipe: Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies (Gluten Free)

Crisp and chewy, this Gluten Free Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe is addictively delicious and so easy to make. Roasted sesame creates a moreish tasty cookie that everyone will love and uses up the last of the tahini jar.

You might be thinking... "tahini? cookies? why?!" but stick with me and you'll discover the most addictively delicious cookies you've ever tried.

With the perfect balance of salty and sweet, these cookies are so moreish and so delicious - and also so easy to make.

Better still, they'll use up that tahini jar you have floating around in your pantry that you never seem to have enough uses for.... even if it's the bottom of the jar and a mix of dry clumpy bits and properly stirred tahini (which is likely if you're like me and too lazy to fully stir the jar every time you use it). 

The roasted sesame flavour adds that extra oomph to these cookies without being too overpowering. It's the secret ingredient that will have everyone coming back for more and asking for the recipe.

The edges are crisp and crunchy whilst the centres are soft and chewy with melting gooey chocolate chips.

I mean, seriously. Can you ever go wrong with a chocolate chip cookie?

Recipe: BLW Friendly Weetbix Banana Muffins (Gluten Free and Sugar Free)

A baby led weaning friendly recipe, these Weetbix Banana Muffins Recipe is sugar free, gluten free and so easy to make. A BLW fave that babies, toddlers and the whole family will love.

Life with an eight month old is hectic. 

With Jensen now on a mission to walk, he's climbing everything he can which means I can't take my eyes off him for a second. 

My beautiful shaker door cabinets have become finger holds for a baby who seems to think he's some kind of daredevil free climber. If he's not climbing, he's crab crawling through the house at lighting speed, untying shoelaces or chasing toys around.

And if he's not on the move, he's probably eating because oh boy does this kid love his food!

Muffins have become a recent favourite - both as entertainment (Jensen is fascinated with watching me cook) and as a snack and they've been perfect for taking with us on the go. From the zoo to the shopping centre and soon to be taken with us on our vacation, these muffins are the perfect portable snack for both baby and Mum and Dad. 

As a baby friendly recipe, they don't contain any added sugars - but you could easily add some sweetener (maple syrup or sugar) if you have an older baby or just want a sweeter muffin.

Best of all, these muffins use up the weetbix crumbs you get at the bottom of the box - and are great if, like us, you only have one weetbix eater in the family and want to use them up before they go stale.

We use gluten free weetbix for these muffins so that I can eat them to, but you can just as easily use regular weetbix. 

The recipe is also super adaptable. We add chia seeds, flaxseeds and almond meal to ours, but you can swap that out for more flour or mix through hemp seeds, raisins or whatever you like.

Recipe: Easy Gluten Free Snickers Cookies (Crisp and Chewy!)

Crisp and chewy Gluten Free Peanut Butter Snickers Cookie Recipe, aka Naptime Cookies. Baked in just 10 mins with less than 10 minutes prep, these quick and easy cookies are perfect for busy families and absolutely delicious. Made using pantry staples and ingredients you probably already have at home!

Oh hello there! Yes, I am actually alive…. the bags under my eyes would probably rack up a hefty excess baggage charge on a long haul flight and my to-do list is a million miles long - but I am indeed alive…. and I’ve come back with a recipe! 

Remember those? 

Since Jensen was born, I’ve been quiet on the recipe front. I’ve still been cooking, but it’s mainly been breakfasts, lunches and dinners. The only baking I’ve really done has been a birthday cake, some cupcakes and batch after batch of boobie bikkies.

Instead my days have been filled with juggling working full time, looking after a very active 6 month old and trying to stop my house from looking like a total dump. That doesn’t leave much time for baking.

But these cookies are worth the effort - and they’re so quick they can be made during nap time…. even if your little one is a cat napper like Jensen can sometime be.

They need 10 minutes of prep and 10 minutes in the oven and you’ve got a batch of delicious cookies ready to devour.

What’s not to love?!
