Did someone say Easter’s on the way? Pancake day is done and dusted, and I’m sure you’ve seen those chocolate eggs filling up the seasonal aisle in your local supermarket (Katie, I want the Mint Chocolate Lindor one please, if you hadn’t already guessed). Plus I’m basically living off those incredible Mini Egg yogurts that…

Peach Raspberry Smoothie Bowl
After the complete decadence of my recent Snickers Cheesecake Bars, I think we all need something a little bit more healthy on our tables. And healthy doesn’t have to mean bland or tasteless, as you’re about to discover thanks to my brand new (and very colourful) Peach Raspberry Smoothie Bowl. Uh, Smoothie What? If you’re new…
Super Berry Granola Cookies
And just like that, Easter was done. If you’re anything like me, then you are pretty much sick to death of chocolate right now. It won’t last past Sunday, but for now I’m ready to get my sugar hit from much less chocolatey treats. And that’s exactly why these Super Berry Granola Cookies are the…
Cherry Bakewell Smoothie Bowl (aka Dessert for Breakfast!)
It’s January now, so here’s the compulsory ‘healthy’ breakfast recipe. But, just because something’s got some vitamins and goodness inside it, doesn’t mean it’s not allowed to be yummy and taste like pudding. Plus, I’m always on the hunt for sneaky ways to eat dessert for breakfast. New Year, same old me. What’s a smoothie…
Apricot & Marzipan Breakfast Rolls
Who doesn’t love breakfast? It’s the number one meal of the day in my book (well, apart from the 8pm Cadbury chocolate button binge, of course). And sometimes a bowl of cornflakes just doesn’t cut it. For those occasions when you really need to step up your breakfast game, I’ve got just the recipe for…
Peanut Butter Overnight Oats
I’ve got something brand new (well to me, anyway) to share with you all today – my first foray into the world of overnight oats. Yep, although my first instinct was “nobody wants to eat cold porridge”, apparently a lot of people do! And now my wife’s one of them. So get on board the…
Salted Caramel Granola
I’ve got serious granola goals for you today. Totally overbaked salted caramel granola goals. BUT it still tastes good. Easy all-in-one salted caramel, roasted almonds, hazelnuts, and seeds. Oh yeah, and chocolate chips, as always. You can’t have a good breakfast without chocolate. I will live and die by that motto. Well, probably die. [Oh…
Clementine & Prosecco Jam
The inspiration for today’s recipe came from some bubble bath. I bet that’s not a phrase that’s often bandied about on baking blogs, but it’s 100% true. I loved the smell of my Clementine and Prosecco bath soak so much that I knew I needed to make some jam based on it. And so my…
Apple Raspberry Danish Braid
Has this not been the sunniest week ever, or what? Somehow I always seem to pick the best weeks to take off work – especially as we are holidaying here in the UK this year. And have I got a summery treat for you today, even if you are stuck inside the office. Meet my…
Pink Lemonade Curd
Summer’s well and truly here now guys – Kate’s even swapped the winter duvet for the summer one. And to celebrate let’s get cooking up some pink lemonade curd. Zesty lemons and tangy raspberries come together to create something a little bit special. And it’s totally do-able for anyone. Yes, even you! This isn’t the…
Lucky Charms Granola (with Honey & Almonds)
This is the granola recipe you’ve been waiting for! Honey nut granola (because lush) sprinkled with everyone’s favourite cereal addition – marshmallows ? It’s Lucky Charms Granola time ladies and gentlemen! The base here is a tasty, naturally sweetened honey nut granola recipe. There’s slivers of toasted almond trapped in big oaty clusters, sweetened with…
30 Perfect Weekend Breakfast Recipes
Isn’t there something special about breakfast on a weekend? You get to take your time over it. On a typical weekday, I’m guilty of eating some very under-done toast, sloppily covered in whatever jam I see first when I open the fridge door (or my homemade lime curd, of course). You might have noticed a few…
Intense Double Chocolate Granola
I’ve been brainstorming granola recipes all weekend, to the point where I’ve just taken delivery of a bulk order of cereal mallows ? Granola may just be my new favourite thing to bake! It’s so easy, and is always appreciated greatly by my wife. And top of my list, as requested by the woman herself, was double chocolate granola. …
Homemade Lime Curd
This past weekend was pretty much summer here in the UK, and of course that meant that everyone ventured out and about for picnics and barbecues in the park. I did manage to get in the kitchen and throw together a couple of things – the salted caramel banana bread I shared with you earlier in…
Salted Caramel Banana Bread
I don’t like banana. So why is today’s recipe salted caramel banana bread? Because, my wife does. I really love that photo! I definitely think my photography skills have massively improved in the past year and a bit of being a baking blogger. Yes, I’ve still got loads to learn, but I’m getting there. Happy…
Peanut Butter Jelly Muffins
There’s peanut butter in the batter. There’s raspberry jam running through the middle (along with some more peanut butter if you fancy it). There’s no need for a stand mixer. I give you – Perfect Peanut Butter Jelly Muffins! Want to make these? The most important piece of advice I can give you is to…
Cherry Bakewell Granola
Making your own homemade Cherry Bakewell Granola is easier than you might think – and I have it on extremely good authority that it tastes like perfection. I live with the world’s most experienced breakfast cereal eater (probably). My wife literally buys three boxes of cereal every single time we go to the supermarket, and…
Blackberry Apple Crumble Muffins
I’ve basically had a headache for 10 days now (thanks a lot stress), so apologies for the lack of new recipes. It hasn’t been for a lack of baking – I’ve got recipes and photos coming out of my ears, but concentrating for long enough to actually sit down and write something has been a…
Chocolate Waffles
I gave Katie a waffle maker as a wedding present. It might seem unromantic, but at some point the humble waffle became a symbol of the future we were going to share together. We’d imagine the house we would own, the gorgeous kitchen we would create, and the ridiculously over the top breakfasts we would…
Gingerbread Pancakes (without Molasses)
Soft and fluffy gingerbread pancakes, drizzled with home made warm lemon sauce. Perfect for a lazy Sunday morning breakfast. If you live in the UK, tomorrow is Pancake Day. Yep, we have a whole day set aside just to eat pancakes. One of the main problems we face as a nation is that our ‘pancakes’…
Dark Chocolate and Raspberry Banana Muffins
Today I’m bringing you some incredibly moist banana muffins, packed full of fresh raspberries and dark chocolate chips. And please accept my apologies for use of the word moist. It’s going to happen again in about 50 words time, so if that is going to upset you, then you have my permission to leave now….
Flapjacks with Apricot, Cranberry & Orange
These flapjacks are perfect if you want to pretend that your New Year’s resolution to eat more healthily is still going strong, when actually these beauties include a tonne of sugar and syrup. But there’s oats and fruit, so that makes it all okay. Right? These are the type of flapjacks that are soft and…
