Mixed Berry Coconut White Chocolate Muffins
I always seem to have a bag of frozen berries and fruit in my freezer and in the year of 2020, that seems to have been exacerbated. And I’ve been wanting to throw them into a bake for a while but couldn’t really think of a simple and easy recipe that could incorporate them. Then…
Teatime Malted Milk Cake
Malted milk (or we might know it better by Horlicks) is one of my favourite drinks, it evokes a lot of childhood memories for me and reminds me of having Iced Horlicks in Hong Kong cafes in the scorching heat. It has a slight nutty caramel flavour and that made me think it would work…

Sweet Potato Babka
Lots of people have been getting into bread making during the quarantine period and whether it’s sourdough, making bread rolls or learning to make bread, it’s been great to see everyone get into baking. But of course with that came a huge shortage of flour. I wanted to bake bread like everyone else but didn’t…

But now that I’ve developed a recipe to include peanut butter and they are even better! These are my Peanut Butter Brownies! I’ve taken my favourite brownie recipe and adapted it to include peanut butter…
Apple and Plum Crumble
You might associate crumble with being a typical autumnal dessert but I think that crumbles are just perfect anytime you have some fruit that needs using up, especially apples! I’ve taken my glut of fruit and used it to make my favourite Apple and Plum Crumble (or as I like to call it, plumble) I…

Peanut Butter Granola Bars
I’ve been snacking a lot since the quarantine/isolation period began and the amount of biscuits I can make my way through is genuinely incredible.
