Chocolate Chip Brownies

Chocolate brownies are one of the most popular and, in my opinion, delicious sweet treats. They are either fudgey or cakey, and can include many different ingredients such as nuts or, as in the case with this particular recipe, chocolate chips.

Cheese Scones

I haven’t posted on here for a while. In fact, there hasn’t been a lot of content on my blog over the last couple of months. I have been stuck in a bit of a rut when it comes to both blogging and baking in general. I found it quite stressful to try and think of new recipes each week, and it was almost impossible to include a historical element for each one as well. So much of my time was spent worrying about what I was going to bake to include on my blog, and then trying to make sure that the recipes were as good as they could be. This meant that I wasn’t really enjoying it, and I was completely lacking motivation. And what’s the point in blogging or baking if I don’t enjoy it?

Bourbon Biscuits

Bourbon biscuits are a family (and British) favourite. They consist of two chocolate-flavoured biscuits sandwiched together with a chocolate buttercream icing. They aren’t the quickest thing to bake, but boy do homemade Bourbon biscuits far outstrip the (albeit very tasty) shop bought Bourbon biscuit!

Nectarine Streuselkuchen

Using nectarines, this streuselkitchen makes a wonderful summer dessert and can be easily adapted with other fruit to cater for different times of the year. This is based on a recipe from a bread machine cookbook, however you do not a bread machine to make it.

Flapjack

Flapjacks are one of the easiest and most simple things to bake. They are definitely not the healthiest of treats, but boy are they delicious!

Muffins vs Cupcakes: What’s the difference?

In my last post for honey, orange and ginger muffins I mentioned how I never really know whether to name my recipes muffins or cupcakes, when really, they could very much be either. It would have still worked if I’d called them honey, orange and ginger cupcakes, right? There are no rules as such, and there seems to be a lot of overlap. So what is the difference between muffins and cupcakes? I decided to find out.

A light flavoured muffin great for breakfast, brunch or even lunch!

Individual Rhubarb and Ginger Crumbles

I had some spare stewed rhubarb in the freezer which needed using up so decided to make these individual rhubarb and ginger crumbles in ramekin dishes!

Katie’s Kitchen Experiments: Baking and Oven Temperatures

Which? got in touch to tell me about their new guide showing how important oven temperatures are. I decided to do a little experiments to see how oven temperatures affected scones!
