I'm using up some over ripe bananas and have a spice banana loaf in t'oven. I'll post a pic when it's out of the tin. As long as it doesn't look like the dog produced it.

Anyone else got delicious looking pics of food they've made? Not normally something I'm into but I think some of us are probably cooking/baking more than usual.

I cook from scratch a lot but haven't made a cake for a while.

Go on then, show me your grub Wink

@lostmyunicorn This may sound odd but does anyone have a banana loaf / cake recipe which doesn’t taste very banana-y.

My son loves ABC muffins, which aren't too banana-y (he went off bananas for ages)

Also this recipient but with blueberries instead of blackberries (bake for 20 mins)

Most recipes I’ve seen are 20C lower for a fan oven e.g. Bake at 200C; Fan Ovens 180C.

Very chocolatey chocolate cake!

Thank you @incognitomum, it was! I’m a relatively recent vegetarian and loving it.

Chocolate cake made last week. Very yummy!

I made Delia gingerbread yesterday. It is delicious. Hilariously, the recipe suggests leaving it 24 hours before eating it. Not happening Delia.

Still isolating with a cough so more bread was essential.

I'm quite enjoying breadmaking. I'm getting quicker and DS loves it. I can see it becoming a regular Sunday morning task. Smile

Where are you all getting flour from? I love baking and cooking but am on my last slivers of flour so being VERY careful as we can’t get flour ANYWHERE!! Not for over 2 weeks now ....

zafferana · 31/03/2020 10:56

I had quite a lot of flour in the cupboard, but our corner shop also has it. Try small shops is my advice. The supermarkets around here haven't had any for at least two weeks.

Shannith · 31/03/2020 11:40

I echo small corner shops for flour, it's where I've been getting mine.

Need to find some ways to jazz up cupcakes.

DD will only eat plain ones (though we colour them lot as of colours), lemon drizzle ones or chocolate ones. Going to try banana ones.

Anyone got any ideas? She doesn't like buttercream the little heathen.

incognitomum · 31/03/2020 11:41

I'm so happy seeing all this baking/cooking Smile

@2catsblack those samosas look delicious.

Tiramisu

Ooh I love tiramisu!

Spam88 · 31/03/2020 13:01

I might make one actually. I'm breastfeeding so choose not to drink coffee or alcohol, but they don't count when they're in food so...

FamilyOfAliens · 31/03/2020 13:04

Does anyone have a cookie recipe that uses medium oatmeal rather than rolled oats? Every recipe I google for oatmeal uses rolled oats and I’m not sure you can just swap one for the other.

HelenaJustina · 31/03/2020 13:59

Husband picked up a glut of peppers and tomatoes today. Already made roasted red pepper and tomato soup for the freezer.

Any ideas on what to do with 40 pre-poached eggs?!

AntsDeck · 31/03/2020 15:18

@Cookiedough41 and @MissConductUS thank you both x

Here's to our next Cinnabon feasts Smile

Make them into egg mayonnaise? Eat them on toast? That’s quite a challenge!
