To bake your own pies and tarts is sure to become a much-loved hobby, once you know how. Then you can enjoy all manner of sweet treats with homemade pastry (no palm oil) and lots of fruity fillings.

Keep fresh pastry/bread dough away from pets, as it can expand in the stomach. Keep these pies away from pets, due to toxic ingredients (stone/dried fruits, spices, nutmeg, chocolate, nuts). Never sweeten foods with xylitol near pets, a few dropped crumbs can be lethal.
Key Lime Tart (Addicted to Dates) is bursting with fresh lime, ginger and coconut. It’s easy to make – needs no baking and has just 8 ingredients.
This upside down cake with plums (Rainbow Plant Life) is a great way to use up a glut of seasonal fruits. Made with wholesome flours and spices. It’s sweetened with maple syrup and coconut sugar. The liquid base is olive oil and plant milk. Canned pumpkin puree replaces the eggs in this recipe. You can find it in most stores these days. If not, you can make your own. Pumpkins are pretty easy on the stomach, so this is the perfect dessert for delicate tummies! You could of course swap out the plums for other seasonal fruits, if wished.
