Raspberry Banana Bread

-
Banana bread is one of those recipes everyone needs in their recipe collection.  If you ever have ripe bananas, this is a great go-to recipe.

This Raspberry Banana Bread is super moist and delicious.  The addition of raspberries throughout the bread gives it a little tang' and balances the sweetness perfectly.

Trick to having raspberry pieces appear throughout the banana bread is to break the raspberries into smaller pieces so they are not too heavy and won't sink towards the bottom of the bread,  Also, if you pop a few raspberries at the top and push it in slightly before baking, they tend to stay towards the top of the banana bread.

This recipe is so easy to make and everyone will enjoy it.  It's great for breakfast, afternoon tea or just a snack throughout the day.

Hope you get a chance to try this recipe soon.  Start ripening those bananas.

Coffee Kisses

I made these coffee biscuits awhile ago and thought I would make them again and share this recipe with you.  I'm sure there are many coffee lovers out there. These coffee kisses smell amazing when they are baking in the oven.  The aroma of the coffee biscuits coming out of the oven smells like an Italian cafe. I must say these coffee biscuits are more of an grown up biscuits.  They taste like a shortbread with a hint of coffee and they smell just like coffee. I would recommend making these biscuits when the weather is a bit warmer as the mixture can be a bit firm and hard to pipe out of the piping bag on a cold day. Happy Baking xo Coffee Kisses Ingredients · 250 grams butter, softened · ⅔ cups icing sugar · 2 teaspoons instant coffee · 2 cups plain flour Filling · 45 grams dark chocolate, melted · Icing sugar Instructions 1.

Mini Yo-Yos (Melting Moments)

I thought I would share with you all, one of my signature bakes.  The traditional melt-in-the-mouth biscuit known as Yo-Yos.  Yo-Yos are made with custard powder and often people refer to them as Melting Moments.  However, the only difference is that melting moments are made with cornflour instead of custard powder. These biscuits are loved by all as they melt-in-your mouth and they taste so good with the lemony buttercream in the centre.  I love this recipe as it's easy and you can fill the biscuits with any filling you like or you can just eat the biscuits unfilled. If you haven't noticed I like to bake products in mini form or bite size.  I find that everyone loves mini desserts or treats.  You can make 16 full sized Yo-Yos or 32 mini ones. Hope you bake this classic traditional biscuits soon as everyone will love them.  This is a favourite amongst my family and friends. Happy Baking xo Mini Yo-Yos (Melting Moments) Ingredients · ...
