These cinnamon scrolls are definitely hard to beat. They’re soft, fluffy, packed with cinnamon, and—best of all—super easy to make. Cinnamon scrolls have always felt like pure comfort to me. My mum used to bake them on cold winter afternoons, often after we’d been out in the garden with my dad. I think that’s where my love of cinnamon really began. If you look through my recipes, you’ll spot it everywhere: in my plum oat muffins, my apple/plum cake, my walnut raisin loaf, and even my crunchy … [Read more...]
Delicious Plum or Apple Cake (or whatever fruit you have!)
Make this quick and easy snack/dessert cake using your favourite fruit. It is delicious with plums or apples but you could also use apricots, raspberries, or rhubarb!

Come summer when it’s really too hot to be baking I’ll still be in the kitchen whipping up some yummy plum treats. My favourites are these Plum Muffins, this wonderful Plum … [Read more...]

Plum Oat Muffins
I can’t get enough of these Plum Oat Muffins right now. Not only are they deliciously sweet, they’re also packed with healthy oats and juicy fresh plums! Plums would have to be my favourite fruit at the moment. That is mainly because our plum tree is currently providing us with the most deliciously sweet and juicy plums that we have had for years.

Walnut Raisin Loaf Recipe
I’m a real sucker for any recipe that contains walnuts and raisins. Throw in some apple and cinnamon and I’m in heaven! If you like these favours as much as I do you will love this Walnut Raisin Loaf recipe that I am sharing today. This recipe was actually spotted a few years ago when I was using raisins in another recipe. The packet of Sunbeam raisins that I was using included the walnut raisin loaf recipe and it sounded so good that I had to give it a try. I was not disappointed - it was … [Read more...]
