Super fast east store cupboard baking

[FusionChefGeoff]

I'm an excellent cook but a very reluctant baker.

What are your go to recipes for the easiest, fastest, store cupboard bakes to reduce the amount of processed crap we buy for snacks??

I'm our house it's -

Brownies - good food easy brownie recipe is outstanding

Choc chip cookies

Shortbread

Scones

Lemon drizzle cake

Carrot tray bake cake

Flapjacks

I make large batches of whatever I'm making and freeze them in separate bags for later use or wrap cake slices individually and freeze them too .

Mini frittata www.olivemagazine.com/recipes/quick-and-easy/mini-picnic-frittatas/

Banana bread www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/easiest_ever_banana_cake_42108

I rarely eat & never make sweet treats, but crisps in a microwave are so easy - mandolin is essential.
Bought tortilla flatbreads do contain additives, but cutting them into triangles & baking/airfrying into dipping tortillas means they are far better than ready-made.

@dynastyfan great list although I've always thought brownies / carrot cake were a bit technical / a faff??

Like the idea of making loads and freezing though that makes sense.

Scones!! I forgot about scones!

Do you by any chance have a yummy/quick/easy recipe that you use for choc chip cookies and for carrot cake tray bake please?

I make cheese scones and plain or fruit and freeze when cooked.

Sorry this is the chocolate brownie recipe and it's so easy .
I use white and milk chocolate chips in it. Cook them then open freeze on parchment paper and then bag up .
They defrost so quickly.

I hope the links work !

Brownies are pretty simple, once you've found a recipie you like. Melt butter and chocolate, stir in sugar, then eggs, then flour. Cook. One pan and one baking tin.

https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/sticky-chocolate-drop-cakes is a pretty simple iced cake.

Shortbread

Rock buns, jam tarts, drop scones and home made biscuits are family favourites here.

You need the Be-Ro recipe book, it's only a couple of quid I think, or look in charity shops for a copy.

@dynastyfan Thank you, I'm looking forward to doing some baking at the weekend now!

I like Mary berries banana loaf - out of all the banana loaves ive made I think its the best recipe

I also like https://www.paulhollywood.com/post/a-trio-of-biscotti more for the adults with a coffee. My friend has a nut allergy so I make the cranberry recipe but add more cranberries and substitute the pistachio for dates or prunes and add orange instead of lemon. They work really well.

This is a good base recipe and they can be baked in the air fryer
