Aunty Delia’s nutty brownies

For a while now I’ve been looking for a 3rd recipe to add to flapjacks and cherry scones to make up my new weekend baking routine. I wanted something chocolatey but easy to make and I know I could have made my chocolate fudge cake but I wanted something that was already portioned. So, thanks…

Bulletproof Flapjack recipe

I’ve never been very good at making flapjacks. I think it’s my desire to cram so much in, and my aim to get a crispy flapjack finish that ends up leaving me with something that is either too sloppy or two chewy. Lots of research later and I think (after 5 times of making these…

Cherry scones

Hubby absolutely loves cherry scones and I used to buy these from the shops every time we go out. After a google search though I realised these are actually quick and easy to make and with only 2 tbs added sugar (let’s ignore the glace cherries 😉 ) isn’t that bad for us. So here…

No added sugar Rocky Road

I have been hankering after something totally indulgent that doesn’t send me into a carb coma since Christmas. I started to think that rocky road would be an easy option as I can get NAS versions of all the ingredients and wanted to try this to see if it would hit the spot and I…

Fruit scones

My hubby loves his sweet things and as you know I’m having to be good getting ready for surgery but as he is having a bit of a bad time at the moment I asked him if I could get him anything and he told me he really fancied scones. I’ve never made scones before…

Banana & Pecan Loaf

I adore banana loaf, not just because is its really easy to make, uses up old bananas and is a very forgiving recipe but because it tastes delicious. Elsewhere on the blog I have a no added sugar recipe which I’ve been making for years but I was doing my usual root through my larder…

Orange bundt cake

Its that time of year again when we join in with the worlds biggest coffee morning at work in aid of MacMillan. I always try and do something different (last year was Hungarian cherry cake) Ive joined a community on Facebook (The Cook’s Cook Community Forum) which is an amazing group of people from all…

Peanut M&M Flapjacks

One of my Hubby’s favourite treats are flapjacks and if I’m being honest I’ve never been totally happy with the way mine turned out.  Don’t get me wrong, he loves them, but I always feel that mine are a little dry and crumbly despite adding lots of fruit to the mix and making sure they…

Lemon Bars

Its Bake off season and we are following along at work with our own version!  For week one we have decided to make tray bakes and as we work for a company that specialises in international markets I thought Id try something different – and after googling and pinteresting I came up with the idea of…

Lemon Drizzle Blueberry Bread

I got given these amazing Russian doll cup measures for my birthday and have been desperate to try them out for ages. Ive also not baked in a while so this morning when i couldn’t sleep i took to Pinterest and my fridge to work out what I could bake. I came across this recipe…
