Flour-less Peanut Butter Cookies

Hello friends,

 New cookie recipe time! These delightful peanut flavoured cookies have no flour or added butter (there is enough of that in the peanut) so I am going to class these as almost a healthy alternative.



They have only 7 simple ingredients and just need to be beaten together and baked, it is as easy as that! The cookies are only baked for 8 - 10 minutes and produce a fudgey brownie type cookie, which will satisfy any sweet craving.

 I also videoed myself baking these treats, so why not pop over and take a look here:

Ingredients:

 Makes 10 cookies

 250g peanut butter
1 egg
20g cocoa powder
70g light muscovado sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Reese's Pieces for extra peanut

 Method:

 Preheat over to 180C/ 160C fan assisted, and line two baking trays.

 Put all ingredients into a bowl and beat well. Using a tablespoon scoop the dough into balls onto the prepared trays. 

 Put into the oven and bake for 8 - 10 minutes. When they are baked they will still look a bit soft a gooey, this is what we are aiming for. If you would rather have crisp cookies, bake for an extra couple of minutes. 

 Leave to cool for 15 minutes, and then enjoy with a cup of tea :)

Bourbon Chocolate Brownies

There seems to be a bit of a trend at the moment for brownies with all kinds of sweets and biscuits added to the top to give an extra dimension to these absolute classic bakes. Doing the rounds on Instagram which caught my eye were Bourbon brownies, in particular Frances Quinn's version (Former GBBO winner). Her food imagination and photography is always beautiful and well worth checking out. I have used my own brownie recipe which combines cocoa and melted dark chocolate topped with neat rows of Bourbons, making a brownie which perfectly compliments a good cup of tea. Time to get dunking! Ingredients: 220g butter 180g caster sugar 150g light muscovado sugar 50g cocoa powder 50g dark chocolate (70%) 1 tsp vanilla extract 2 eggs 120g plain flour 1 packet of Bourbons - I used 13 ontop of my batter, but you can add more or less depending on how you want your brownies to look. Method: Preheat your oven to 180C/ 160C fan assisted and line a brownie tin. In ...

Giant Ferrero Rocher cake

Hello friends.  A few weeks ago my lovely friend Liz posted a link to me of a lady who had created an awesome giant Ferrero Rocher cake (this is her blog filled with fantastic bakes - http://www.sugarhero.com/) , and then the challenge was born. Liz and her husband Matt had their first child 6 months ago and today marked his Dedication day, so I thought this was the perfect opportunity to attempt the bake (and it had the up side of having lots of people there to eat the cake!).  This was really fun to make, but I did it slowly over a week or so and whilst it looks like a Rocher inside it doesn't have a giant hazelnut  and creamy filling, but instead layers of chocolate cake and hazelnut  mousse. The biggest tip I have for you, if you want to try this special bake, is make sure you have some form of cake release in your chocolate sphere moulds. The trickiest part of this creation I found was tempting the delicate shells away from the plastic mo...

Visiting MADRID

Hello friends, Over the past couple of years I have visited Madrid more times than I can remember, for long weekends and at the start and end of holidays. I feel like I know parts of the city very well, but like any capital there is always more to see. I could probably write an essay about Madrid as a whole so for this post I wanted to introduce you to my favourite place to visit - I go here at least once per trip to Spain, and I hope you will want to visit it too if you are ever in the neighbourhood. The Mercado de San Miguel In English this translates to the market of San Miguel, and it is located in the older part of the city, very close to the Royal Palace, Opera Square and Plaza Mayor (all places that are also deserving of a visit). In a nut shell, this is a glass building which inside contains a very wide array of stalls with many of the different delicious types of food and drink that Madrid has to offer.  The beauty of this market is that within o...
