I know what you’re thinking… how can I possibly top last week’s Naked Black Forest Cake? The honest truth is – I don’t think I ever can. I’ve peaked, at age 30. Speaking of age 30, I’ve only got one day left before I turn 31. Tomorrow is my birthday, and to celebrate I’m bringing…

Chewy Jammy Dodger Blondies
As I’ve mentioned numerous times before, I’m not the best at brownies or blondies – remember my excitement when finally managed to make an epic pan of brownies last year?! But the heart wants what it wants, and so blondies were the order of the day. And I didn’t do too bad a job, even…
50 One Bowl Recipes to Save on Washing Up
If you’re new around here – Hi, I’m Charlotte, and I’m such a lazy baker. Add that to the fact that I don’t own a dishwasher, and the result is a constant pile of dishes next to the sink, that almost always includes many baking bowls. And we’ve got a tiny tiny kitchen. Bad times….
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…
Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies (Gluten Free!)
I’ve got a pretty magical recipe for you today – oatmeal peanut butter cookies that are made without any flour at all! Nope, none of that gluten-free flour either. I’m talking naturally GF cookies that are also one of the easiest recipes on my blog, and don’t even need any chilling. Plus, lots of nutritious…
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…
Christmas Pudding Cookies (Dark Gingerbread)
Spoiler alert – a recipe for delicious gingerbread cookies that look like little Christmas puddings. And lots of chat about failing, stress, and picking yourself back up. If you’re just here for the recipe, then skip to the bottom! I had such big plans for Christmas on this blog. There was going to be a…
Toblerone Hot Chocolate
[AdSense-B] Today’s recipe is served with a side order of sadness. Cue X-Factor style sob-story music. Three Christmases ago something magical happened. I walked into my neighbourhood Starbucks, ready to get myself into the festive spirit and drink something seasonal from one of those gorgeous red cups, and noticed something magical on the menu –…
Cherry Coconut Macaroons
Enough with the peanut butter! It’s time to get things a little more coconut up in here. Yeah, there’s some cherry in there too. Of course. And wherever there’s cherry, chocolate is not far behind. I’m getting so predictable in my old age. Let’s rewind a minute. These cherry coconut macaroons started out their short…
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…
Creamy Lemon Ice Pops
Possibly the easiest recipe in the whole world coming at you today. Only three ingredients – yogurt, lemons, and a little bit of runny honey. Mix them altogether, wait six hours, and you’ve got yourself some creamy lemon ice pops. So many confessions to make today. Firstly, those aren’t popsicle sticks. I used up the…
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Fudge
Oh candy, my old friend. It’s been too long. The last time we had fudge around here was last Easter, so I wanted to come back with my fudge-game strong. And this Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Fudge is about as good as fudge gets, in my opinion. How many times can I use the word…
Chocolate Cherry Loaf Cake
Want a chocolate cherry loaf cake, where all the chocolate chips and juicy cherries don’t just sink straight to the bottom? Well, go on then, if you insist. This isn’t the first loaf cake I’ve shared with you, and it 100% won’t be the last. There’s something incredibly simple about mixing up some batter, chucking…
Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies
We’ve done chocolate chip cookies, double chocolate chip cookies, and even chocolate and hazelnut cookies. But there’s always been something missing. There was a cookie shaped space in my heart that I didn’t even know needed filling – until today. Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies are here. And they taste just like the ice cream ? Ice…
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…
Mars Bar Cakes
Today I’m sharing with you what is quite possibly the easiest yet scrummiest bake around – Mars Bar Cakes. More exciting than your usual marshmallow squares, these will definitely be the hit of your kid’s birthday party (apart from Jelly cubes though, am I right?) or office charity bake sale. Everyone loves Rice Krispie treats!…
Vanilla Sugar Cookies + 2016 Favourites :)
A very happy 2017 to all of my lovely readers! If you missed yesterday’s post, I shared my recipe for these sweet and salty caramel profiteroles, as well as my resolution to aim for quality over quantity in this brand new year. So, before I get stuck in to today’s vanilla sugar cookies, I thought…
Apple Sultana Oatmeal Cookies
The clocks have gone back, the heating is on, and the sun is setting before I’ve even left the office. Holidays are coming! But before this blog gets completely overcome with festive cheer and cranberries, there’s just enough time for a few more weeks of autumn. And a bit more apple. These cookies are super…
Pumpkin Spice Roll Out Cookies
What? No bright orange Halloween bake? I could pretend that I deliberately avoided creating anything tacky on purpose… but the truth is that unfortunately my hidden pumpkin cake did not go to plan at all. It was a mess. Less hidden pumpkin, more hidden blob. It tasted good though – so I’m sure there is a…
Mojito Ice Lollies
After killing it with my Peach Raspberry Ice Lollies a few weeks ago, I thought it only fitting to give my specially imported ice lolly moulds another go. And this time I went boozy. I’m pretty sure Mojitos are everyone’s favourite cocktail. They went down a storm at our recent wedding after all. And you are…
White Chocolate Strawberry Cookies
Strawberries and cream! In a cookie! I’ve genuinely spent the last week trying (and failing) to get this white chocolate strawberry cookie recipe right. I really wanted to make a slice and bake cookie, but getting the balance between too sweet, too spready, and too yucky turned out to be a lot harder than expected. …
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…
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Blondies
I’m finally posting a new recipe! Gold star for me! Seriously, I’ve been such a bad baking blogger lately. Last time I promised I would try and post once a week, and that was about a month ago… It turns out that being less than six weeks away from your incredibly DIY’d wedding, having a partner…
Hazelnut Chocolate Cookies
*Photos updated in May 2017* Did everyone enjoy eating their own body weight in chocolate eggs this weekend? After much pestering from Katie, I did manage to throw together some roast chicken on Sunday evening, along with my best ever roast potatoes. I must share the recipe for those beauties sometime. Not really baking though,…
