Getting into the kitchen with the kids is a lot of fun. Yes, crazy and chaotic but seeing them get joy from measuring and mixing ingredients is precious. Even if you don’t have kids, baking is rewarding, nostalgic and can be quite therapeutic. Besides, baking makes your kitchen smell just so good that you are taken to a different world altogether. Below is a collection of baking recipes I have made and love.
Lunchbox Brownies
These lunchbox chocolate brownies contain three vegetables for added goodness – zucchini, sweet potato and carrot. The end result is a brownie that is sweet but not too sweet, has a light texture but isn’t too gooey. Perfect for school lunchboxes! The added vegetables are perfect for fussy little eaters!
Apricot & Almond Cake
This is a really moreish cake. If you make this Apricot and Almond Cake then it won’t last much longer than 48 hours. It is easy to make and has a fresh summery taste it will definitely please those lucky enough to get a slice. If you are looking for a very sweet cake, then step away… this isn’t the cake for you!
Chocolate Weetbix Slice
This chocolate weetbix slice is an all-rounder. A firm family favourite in my home, this slice is super easy to make and doesn”t take too long. It’s not too sweet making it a great treat for adding into school lunchboxes.
Apricot Bliss Balls
These apricot bliss balls are so quick and simple to make. With added chia seeds and milk powder plus are nut-free, they are perfect to make and freeze for kids school lunches.
Family Chocolate Cake
Testing out a recipe. I’m currently on the hunt for a cake I can make for Emma’s birthday cake, preferably a chocolate cake. I could resort to an Aunt Betty’s cake mix from the supermarket. This is tried and true. Hasn’t failed me yet. These have been great when time poor, like when I’m working. It…
ABC Mini Muffins
Random act of kindness. I love to travel. It goes well with my love of food. That’s why I joined a Facebook group dedicated to females. The group is inspirational and supportive. I love to see all the photos of amazing places people want to or have travelled to. Definitely get travel envy from that…
Cheese Biscuits
One of the quickest and easiest biscuits you’ll ever make. All you need is a food processor and four ingredients. Great for the kids to pack into their school lunchboxes or for afternoon tea.
