Healthy Sweet Treats Take Centre Stage in Melissa Hemsley's Delicious Recipies
For those seeking sweet treats that won't sabotage their healthy eating goals, Melissa Hemsley has got you covered. The renowned food blogger and author shares her ingenious recipes for no-fuss homemade Bounty bars with matcha, savoury granola with a twist, and easy-to-make flapjacks that are perfect for on-the-go snacking.
The first treat to catch our eye is the coconut-filled Bounty bar with matcha. This indulgent dessert combines the richness of dark chocolate with the invigorating zing of green tea, all held together by a crunchy coconut centre. What's more, Hemsley reveals that she often makes a massive batch and simply divides it into individual portions for an instant sweet fix.
The recipe is simplicity itself – just mix together softened creamed coconut, coconut oil, maple syrup, matcha powder, and vanilla extract before stirring in desiccated coconut and dark chocolate. Once set, each bite-sized square is perfectly balanced between indulgence and healthiness.
Next up is a deliciously versatile savoury granola that's perfect for sprinkling on salads or wrapping around avocado toast. This recipe combines rolled oats with an aromatic blend of smoked paprika, dried rosemary, mixed nuts, seeds, soy sauce, and flaky sea salt for a crunchy snack that's bursting with flavour.
While this recipe can be cooked in the oven or pan-fried to give it a crispy texture, Hemsley stresses the importance of not stirring the granola too much. "Just let it cool completely," she advises – trust us, you won't regret it!
Last but certainly not least are Melissa's five-ingredient flapjacks that make for an instant afternoon pick-me-up. These chewy treats combine smooth almond butter, runny honey, rolled oats, ground cinnamon, and a handful of raisins in one easy-to-make recipe.
With just 25 minutes of cooking time required to bake these babies into deliciously golden brown squares, it's no wonder Hemsley swears by them as her go-to snack for a quick energy boost.
