This low-sugar pancake recipe from The Foodie Dentist uses oats and mashed bananas for a healthier start to the day

A suitably monstrous-looking treat for Halloween – and far healthier than the usual bucketloads of sweets and chocolate

The sorbet would also be lovely as an aperitif served as a small scoop in a glass of Champagne or prosecco

A super quick, relaxed starter that’s perfect for sharing. If you fancy more of a kick, you can add in a finely chopped jalapeño

Whip up this easy traybake for a post-barbecue dessert or garden party. Juicy pineapple chunks are mixed through the batter and the reserved juice is absorbed by the sponge for extra sunshine flavour. All topped with an irresistibly creamy coconut frosting!
