Banana loaf with toasted coconut
This deliciously moist banana loaf with toasted coconut makes a wonderful teatime treat. The nutty crunch of the coconut perfectly accompanies the stickiness of the dates, with the apricot jam adding a fabulously fruity edge. Enjoy with your favourite cup of tea.

Chocolate and avocado mini-bites
These rich, chocolatey bites combine 85% cocoa, dried fruits, nuts, live yoghurt and avocado for a decadent treat. Better yet, they’ll keep for up to a week so are great for making ahead and snacking on throughout the week (if they aren’t snaffled up by hungry hands by then, that is!).

Dark chocolate and almond cake
Nothing beats a square of this rich, gooey kladdkaka, a dark chocolate and almond cake recipe from Sweden. Almonds are fantastic for our wellbeing and are bursting with skin-friendly nutrients, such as vitamin E. Enjoy it washed down with a cortado – a Spanish coffee that consists of equal parts espresso and warm milk. Delicious!
