Raisin Bran Spice Cookies!

I decided to try this recipe as it sounded nutritious enough for GG and I love raisins!

These cookies are baked out of wholemeal flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, allspice, butter, white and brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, raisin bran cereal and raisins!

These were yummy and both the Husband and GG ate them! 

Bursting Blueberry Pop-ups!

With a little one, GG, in tow now, I am always on the lookout for baking recipes suitable for him. This blueberry pop-up cake recipe is from the famous Ella Kitchen's Baking Book. 

It is made out of blueberries (obviously!), self-raising flour, plain wholemeal flour, caster sugar, egg, milk, sunflower oil and the surprise in the middle, cream cheese! I thought they were really pretty and quite yummy. 

The result - small people liked it but not the grown-ups! Let's be honest, the Husband said 'it was the worst thing you have ever baked'!

Coconut Oatmeal Muffins!

Still on the trail for healthy nutritious snacks for GG, these coconut oatmeal muffins sounded like a good idea.

These muffins are baked out of plain flour, porridge oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, sugar, desiccated coconut, eggs, milk, vanilla extract and butter.

I thought they taste really healthy and maybe just a tad bland.

The key thing is GG ate them!

Florentines!

I promised the Husband to make him some florentines when we watched it being baked on The Great British Bake-Off. However, with one thing and another, this request got put on the back burner.

Today is Valentine's Day and the second one we are celebrating with GG, so I decided to actually bake something for the Husband this time.

These florentines are baked out of butter, light brown sugar, flour, mixed dried fruit and nuts and condensed milk! As you can imagine, these are not the healthiest snacks in the world!

Once cooled, the backs are coated with a layer of dark chocolate.

The Husband has pronounced them to be 'very good'!

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!
