As a diabetic, I always have to keep an eye on what I eat. In theory, I can eat anything, but some foods can cause problems. First and foremost, of course, anything with too much sugar added. That’s why I like to fall back on sugar-free or sugar-reduced alternatives – or I come up with something at home without added sugar. This Strawberry Vanilla Jam is made with (almost) no added sugar. Great, if you want to eat less of that white stuff ;P
Scones are absolute classics in the UK. Here in Germany, those small, crumbly treats have still not really caught on. It’s a shame – I really like scones. For me, delicious Blackberry Scones like these here are among the easiest and most uncomplicated pastries you can make at home. You just have to love them ;)
Easter is the time for homemade stuff. All kinds of baked goods with yeast are popular around the world – an Easter brunch without would be wrong ;P For this reason, we always have brioche or something similar for Easter. This year, we took inspiration from a »neighboring« country (well almost) and baked a delicious (Streusel) Hot Cross Bun Wreath. Similar to our Easter bakes but still slightly different ;P
They may not be a standard for breakfast, but in my opinion, popovers are perfect for breakfast or brunch. Especially if there is a larger group at the table. These Easy Biscoff Popovers are the perfect sweet treat in between or the perfect end to a brunch. Easy to prepare and quick to decorate. Never work more than absolutely necessary in the kitchen ;P
Not everyone has a lot of time for baking. I bake and take pictures of my bakes for a living but I can also appreciate when I only have to spend a short time in the kitchen to get something sweet. These Easy Peasy Almond Croissants are definitely something you can whip up in no time. If you got some softened butter already you only need 5 minutes to get the croissants into the oven. Then you have to wait for the oven to finish and you got yourself a delicious snack. So easy!
I have to admit that there are already quite a few banana bread recipes available here on the blog. But can you ever have enough banana bread recipes?! I don’t think so! There is always something new to test and try. This easy recipe for a Vegan Walnut & Chocolate Banana Bread, for example. It’s obviously made without any dairy products but also without any added (white) sugar. Not created to be healthy but to be very delicious. Being vegan and sugar-free is just a bonus ;P
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
