Sometimes the memory of a food is better than the actual food itself.
Who hasn’t dreamt of the nostalgic treats of their childhood, only to try them again as an adult and become overwhelmed by cloying sweetness or general ick factor?
Luckily, these reinvented recipes keep all the nostalgia, with just a fraction of the sugar and other added nasties. Between you and me, they taste a lot better than the original.
Tam Tims
These might take more time than, well, buying a packet of biscuits, but it’s well worth it for this gorgeous ganache icing. Plus, you can still drink your tea through one!
Pork and Fennel Sausage Roll
Every Australian remembers the weirdly grey sausage rolls sold in school tuckshops. While we’re still not sure what was in them, we’re certain our carrot, zucchini and fennel filling is a vast improvement.
Chocolate Nut Butter Cups
One Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup contains nearly two teaspoons of sugar. We’ve seriously cut down on the sugar, letting the salty nut butter and dark chocolate take centre stage.
Mini Paleo Egg + Bacon McMuffins
We’ve swapped stodge for gluten-free muffins and great quality bacon, eggs and avocado. You might not be able to buy these at a drive-through, but we’re not complaining!
Off the Wagon Wheel
The marshmallow-filled biscuit that inspired this recipe contains five teaspoons of sugar. Seriously. Try this version instead, which is chockers with gelatin to boost your gut health.
