I'm still amazed by how delicious these flapjacks are in comparison to how quick they were to make. They're sweet, chewy and would be perfect for snacks or dessert. I also think they're healthier than cakes which is an added bonus!

Ingredients:

200g butter

200g brown sugar

2 tbsp golden syrup

275g porridge oats

200g desiccated coconut

75g raisins (you could use other dried fruits such as sultanas, dates, prunes or glacé cherries)

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 160°C.

2. Put butter, sugar and syrup in a pan and heat until just melted.

3. Turn off the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients thoroughly.

4. Spoon mixture into a rectangular baking tin and flatten with a spatula.

5. Bake for 30 minutes.

6. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes.

7. Turn out of the tin onto a chopping board and slice up into desire shapes and sizes (I made around 20 rectangles).

 Enjoy!

Harry Potter cake.

This is a cake which I made for a friend's birthday (the same one as the rubber duck cake) in April of last year. Sadly, the icing tasted really strange so the cake didn't taste amazing but I was really really happy with how it looked. As with all my cakes, I made the physical sponge cake (see standard sponge cake recipe down the side) two days before it's needed and decorate it the day before. 

I hope this has inspired you, enjoy!

Microwave chocolate chip cookie.

In case you haven't realised yet, I'm obsessed with baking things that are quick and easy but also taste good. I stumbledupon this recipe a while ago but didn't have the chocolate to try it out at the time. It says you should microwave for 2 minutes but after reading the comments I microwaved it for 1 minute 30 seconds and then a further 15 seconds to make sure it was properly cooked (don't forget to use a cake tester just because it hasn't been in the oven).

 I'm not going to take credit for another blogger's recipe but I just really wanted to share it. It says it's for one but I would really struggle to eat this by myself, definitely one to share. I ate it with custard but ice cream or whipped cream would be really nice too.
