France has a lot of delicious sweet snacks that are known all over the world. The classic French Madeleines like these Madeleines with Pistachios & Pandan are definitely something that is known and loved by many… although the use of Pandan is probably rather unusual for a French bake I assume. That is more often used in Asia than in Europe. But still – it works great here ;)
I am a big fan of scones. Served with some jam and clotted cream a real treat. Unfortunately, clotted cream is extremely rare to find here in Germany. That’s why I love scones that don’t need cream, jam, or anything else added. Scones that are good to eat as they are ;) Delicious little fellas like these Chocolate Walnut Scones. You can have a coffee on the side, of course, but nothing else is needed. A perfect snack/dessert you can take anywhere ;)
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
Whenever cherry season is upon us there is only one question to answer – what will we do first with these little red fellas? If you just snack on them, they are gone in an instant ;P That’s why we normally do something like a compote first. This can be used in various bakes and desserts. This year I decided to make these delicious Cherry Cheesecake Brownies as my first seasonal bake with cherries. It’s basically just another way to use cherry compote in a bake ;P
If you got a sweet tooth it’s a good idea to have something sweet at home all the time… just in case ;P If you are a fan of white chocolate and Toffifee (that caramel and chocolate candy with a hazelnut inside) you might want to try these Mini Brownie Bites with White Chocolate Toffifee. Very long name for such a small snack, I know ;P These fellas are as quickly baked as they are eaten afterward… at least in our house. You better watch out!
Donuts are nice – you can’t deny that. Airy, fluffy, sweet, and greasy… the perfect combination for a sweet snack, right? If only making them at home could work without frying and those smells in the kitchen. For this reason, we don’t make delicious Boston Cream Donuts like these here not that often at home. Only for special occasions once in every blue moon. Or maybe I should get a proper deep-fryer you can seal off completely? ;)
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 ;)
