Did you bake today?

[LoveFall]

Just put these muffins in the oven. I have made this recipe many times and it's always delicious. I use muffin paper liners so they are portable. Today I added some soaked dried cranberries. They freeze beautifully.

Best part, no added refined sugar.

I make 2 dozen instead of one as they are very large. An ice cream scoop is the perfect size.

I made our spicy orange cake.

It's a bit like carrot cake, but made with grated parsnip, with orange peel, nutmeg, cinnamon and dark brown sugar. And then orange flavoured icing.

It's very autumnal and rich

@Mintjulia

That sounds delicious. I'd love the recipe to try if you have time.

I made Soupdragon's flapjacks today for the first time today. Omg so delicious

I am a terrible baker. I made cupcakes today with DC, the cakes were a little bouncy (I think the recipe has too much egg plus I added it too quickly) and the buttercream was runny (I added too much milk). DC still ate them of course !!

Any foolproof recipes much appreciated. Where can I find the aforementioned flapjacks please?

BBC good food best ever chocolate brownies. For work tomorrow. Have made before and they are the best.

Also queuing for @Mintjulia recipe, pretty please with sprinkles?

Made spiced carrot and apple muffins with the kids :) Always good.

I had some leftover sweet shortcrust pastry knocking about in the freezer, so I made some tiny tart cases (canape-esque) and filled them with chocolate ganache. I had some ganache left over so I filled www.lakeland.co.uk/32435/Lakeland-Chocolate-Bar-Mould this with it and have stuck it in the freezer to see what happens!

They sound good - any chance of the recipe, please?

@Sausagis

I wish I worked where you do. OMG chocolate brownies.

I made some with raspberries in them last weekend for our little party sending grandson off to uni. Not the same recipe but very chocolaty. They turned out well. I put in a whole carton of raspberries that were threatening to become too soft.

Family enjoyed them.

I made fluffy pancakes for breakfast

I intended to make banana bread to use up a bunch of bananas on the turn, and a pear cake to use up some tiny pears that are not much good for anything else. Then I realised I had no eggs in the house until the ocado shop arrives at 10pm and then it will be too late. Guess tomorrow is baking day now!

We have a school bake sale on Saturday so I will be baking a lot this week I think.

I know it’s a bit early but Christmas cake got to have lots of time to put alcohol in

Just a little hint I learned. You can freeze over ripe bananas if you are not ready to use them. I just throw them in the freezer, skin and all. They defrost very quickly. I often just run them under warm water as I peel them.

They work just the same.

Not as healthy as your banana muffins @LoveFall but the cinnamon sugar really makes these delicious!!

I also made bread and butter pudding for dessert tonight. Very much using up over ripe bananas and stale bread directing my bakes today!!

I did an apple and blackberry crumble for pudding today, if that counts? Got the berries from the garden. I do a caramel and turn the apples in that rather than adding sugar; it makes it more interesting IMO. Basic crumble mix with a bit of cinnamon on top. Very nice, if I say so myself.

Dd and I made peppermint slice. My mum used to make it when I was a child and I loved it. It has a huge amount of sugar, but it is so very nice 😋

I made tahini cookies and chocolate banana bread. My friend and her kids were supposed to come over for coffee but unfortunately they have sore throats so cancelled.

The baking might have to come to work with me...
