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 :)

BBC Good Food Caramel Brownies

Another get together with friends has prompted some more baking (whilst the baby is sleeping) and the salted caramel cover recipe from a BBC Good Food issue from a while back caught my eye. I have been storing this recipe waiting for a good excuse to bake it, and I can say (after scoffing a few), these brownies do not disappoint and will be made again. Brownies are very easy to make, the one stumbling point I often find is the temperature of the oven and the time they are baked for - as ovens vary vastly this is quite hard to write into a recipe, but I have a fan assisted fairly new over which bakes quite hot. They key for baking the brownies is checking after the stated time, and they should still be a little liquid in the middle if you want moist squishy squares. Leaving them to cool completely in the tin is also an essential, as if they are cut too early they may still be too liquid. Time to make batter - around 15 minutes Baking time - 35 minutes depending on your oven I...

Classic Victoria Sponge

Hello friends, As we are in Wimbledon week, what better cake to celebrate with than the classic Victoria Sponge, with a cream and strawberries filling. This is a beautiful looking cake and an ideal desert to the countless BBQs and outdoor meals as we celebrate the coming of summer. Ingredients: 175g softened butter 175g caster sugar 175g self raising flour 3 duck eggs 250ml double cream 1 tbsp icing sugar 1 tub of strawberries, halved  Method: This makes an 18 inch sandwich cake. Preheat oven to 180C/ 170C fan assisted. In a bowl beat together the sugar and butter until it is pale and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and mix well. The mixture may separate a little after the eggs are added, but this will come together as you beat it. Fold in the flour gently, and pour the batter into two greased sandwich tins, then put into the oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven when golden and allow to cool fully. Whilst cooling, whip the double cream until it f...

Nutella cookies!

Hello friends, So..... Nutella. Anyone else obsessed with this? I love the chocolate-hazelnut yumminess and will spread it over pancakes, toast, muffins, crumpets, anything really that seems like a good combo. So it struck me the other day, that I haven't made the most appealing bake - Nutella cookies! This recipe only has three ingredients, it is so simple and makes gooey cookies that won't stick around for long!  Ingredients : 130g plain flour 260g Nutella 1 egg Extra Nutella for the gooey center Method: Preheat the oven to 180C/ 160C fan assisted. Mix together the three cookie ingredients and beat well until the dough is consistent. It will be quite a greasy dough and will stick together well. Take a spoonful of mixture and roll into a ball, flatten slightly and make a little well in the middle. Put a teaspoon of Nutella into the well and then take another spoonful of dough, roll and flatten then cover the Nutella. Press the two halves together to make ...
