Halloween food tends to conjure up images of gruesome-looking party food or treats so jam-packed full of sugar, your teeth are likely to shatter at the first bite! Well there is no reason why you can’t join in the festivities with these easy to make, healthy (well as healthy as you can be on Halloween) recipes! From flavoursome pumpkin bread to super spooky witches’ fingers, we’ve got Halloween covered this year! We promise there is no trick and only treats…

1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
2. Soak the chia seeds in a bowl with five tablespoons of water for about 10 minutes.
3. Grease a 20x12x5cm loaf tin with coconut oil and line it with baking paper.
4. Place the pumpkin purée, soaked chia seeds, maple syrup, honey, salt, cinnamon and coconut oil in a food processor and blitz. Add 80ml water and combine again.
5. Place the oats in a big bowl and stir in the pumpkin mixture until everything is combined. If it’s too runny, you can add more oats.
6. Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf tin and pop in the oven for about one hour and 20 minutes, until golden. Insert a knife into the middle and it should come out clean.
7. Leave to cool for at least 30 minutes, serve and enjoy.

1. Blend the walnuts and cashew nuts in a food processor till they reach a flour-like consistency.
2. Add the dates, vanilla and coconut oil and blend until everything is smooth and evenly mixed.
3. Remove the mixture from the food processor and roll into finger shapes. Place the flaked almonds at the end of each finger (as the nails) and enjoy!

1. Start by placing the cacao butter in a bowl above a pan of boiling water, over a low heat. Once the butter has melted, remove from the heat and stir in all the chocolate ingredients until the mix starts to thicken.
2. Spoon the mix into chocolate moulds or small muffin cases until they are half full, then place the moulds in the freezer for about an hour to set.
3. While they’re freezing, make the filling by warming the almond butter above a pan of boiling water. Once this has softened, stir in the vanilla powder and salt. Make sure you melt these gently on a low heat and keep stirring so the almond butter doesn’t burn.
4. Take the moulds out of the freezer and scoop the almond butter filling into the centre of each one before covering them with another spoonful of chocolate (reheat to soften it if you need to).
5. When the moulds have been filled, place them back in the freezer for an hour to set. Turn out to serve.
