Welcome to Vast Recipes! I'm Sarah Johnson.

Sarah Johnson
Recipe Developer & Food Blogger 

Hello and a warm welcome to Vast Recipes! I'm Sarah Johnson, the baker, recipe developer, and photographer behind this little corner of the internet dedicated to all things delicious, healthy, and wonderfully oaty!

My journey into the world of wholesome baking started from a simple belief: eating well shouldn't mean sacrificing flavor or joy. For years, I've been passionate about creating recipes that not only nourish the body but also delight the taste buds. Here at Vast Recipes, I focus on using simple, whole-food ingredients, with a special love for the versatility of oats! You'll find that all my creations are naturally sweetened (goodbye refined sugars!) and made without traditional wheat flour, making them accessible and enjoyable for many.

Why Vast Recipes? My Food Philosophy

I believe that healthy eating can be incredibly easy and satisfying. My goal is to show you that you don't need complicated ingredients or hours in the kitchen to create amazing meals and treats. Each recipe you find here is:

  • Oat-Based & Wholesome: Oats are a nutritional powerhouse, and I love showcasing their adaptability.
  • Naturally Sweetened: We embrace the sweetness of fruits like bananas and dates, or a touch of pure maple syrup or honey.
  • Flourless (No Wheat Flour): Perfect for those looking for alternatives to traditional baking.
  • Easy to Follow: I break down each step simply, aiming for success for bakers of all levels.
  • Tried and Tested: Every recipe is developed and tested meticulously in my own kitchen until it's just right.

A Little More About Me...

When I'm not experimenting with new oat concoctions or photographing a fresh batch of muffins, you can usually find me (...) [e.g., hiking in the nearby trails, curled up with a good book and a cup of tea, tending to my little herb garden, or spending time with my (...) (e.g., a beloved pet, family)]. I believe in a balanced lifestyle where delicious food and joyful moments go hand in hand.

My biggest inspiration comes from (...) [e.g., seasonal produce, my grandmother's handwritten recipe cards, a desire to make everyday meals special].
