My mum has been recently trying to cut gluten out of her diet and she absolutely loves this bread! It's quick, easy, really healthy and can work well as a side for savoury soups or toasted with some peanut butter and coffee. Let me know what you think! <br />

The actual cupcake is vanilla flavoured and the butter icing is vanilla and lemon. These aren't heavy at all and extremely moreish so just be careful not to eat the whole batch at once!

I managed to struggle on and complete this challenge last year so I wanted to give it another go because I'm a complete chocolate addict. It's a serious problem I'm not kidding!<br />
<br />
Anyway I thought this lemon drizzle cake would be perfect for anyone going through the same struggle! It's light, super easy and only took me 10 minutes to whip up.<br />

I also want to try and make more bread as I'm pretty inexperienced with that aspect of baking. This recipe is from Mary Berry's 'Baking Bible' and is super easy and delicious. It's perfect with some almond butter and a good old cup of tea!<br />

This Recipe is super simple and easy. Taking inspiration from my auntie Margaret's amazing shortbread recipe, I put my own twist on these biscuits. These are perfect for tea dunking. I'll be putting a long post about Germany and the food I tried there soon! <div>

So it's officially apple season and I was instructed to start using up the apples in our tiny garden. I have to say it's pretty cool to be able to use your own produce to make something really delicious. Apple pie and apple crumble are my favorite desserts so I decided to combine the two to make 'Apple Crumble Pie.' As you can see from the photo my mum tried to take a slice of it before I had a chance to take a photograph the pie, I shouted at her and quickly recovered the slice before it was devoured. Stressful.Anyway please try this recipe out and let me know what you think! By the way did anyone watch the great British bake off last night? I can't believe there's someone only a year older than me on it, scary. Anyway, thoughts on who might win? Comment below :)<br />

Can you tell these simple bakes are completely healthy? I mean completely! Dark chocolate chip, deliciously gooey cookies and indulgent chocolate cupcakes? You must think I'm joking right? But these simple bakes are both easy and nutritious. It was my amazing friend Charlotte's idea to make these and it was the perfect way of filling some time during yesterday's long, cold, wet 'summer's' day. So my advice for making these? Invite your friends round, bake, laugh, chat, drink tea and eat cake; guilt free!</div>

THE BROWNIE! Crispy on the outside and wonderfully gooey on the inside. These brownies are fail-safe, easy and so yummy. My preferred way of eating them? Warm with Ben and Jerry's ice-cream. I promise you you can't go wrong!<br />

These muffins are the perfect balance between being and a treat and being nutritious. They aren't particularly sweet as I only added a small amount of brown sugar. Most of the flavor comes from the apple and raspberries. I personally enjoy these as a quick and easy summer breakfast. Simply gently heat them and serve with your favorite coffee. Perfection!<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. thinly slice 2 peeled and cored cooking apples and place in saucepan with 6 tbsp of the water. Bring to boil then reduce heat. Add one tsp of cinnamon and cover pan to simmer for 15-20 minutes until all water has been absorbed. (add more water if apple starts to stick to bottom of the pan.) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2.Remove apple mixture from the pan and leave to cool. Blend the mixture in a food processor until smooth.Add remaining water and mix well. Set aside.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Grease Muffin tray with butter (this is very important as buns will stick if this step is not completed properly, if using muffin cases make sure they are also greased.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. Sift flour, salt, baking powder, sugar, remaining cinnamon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. Slowly add cooled apple mixture and vanilla extract to dry ingredients and stir gently.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. Chop remaining apple. Add the chopped apple and raspberries to the wet mixture slowly and gently. </div>

So, naturally, Kyra and I decided to try and recreate one of greatest creations known to man! Dominoes cookies. You know the ones that are gorgeously gooey in the middle? But we wanted to put our own special twist on it so we decided to use those sweets with no artificial colourings or preservatives. Better known as Smarties. They're super easy to make and absolutely delicious. Confession: we might have had more than one..<br />
