Irresistibly Moist Chocolate Banana Bread - VLOGMAS DAY 3


This moist delicious Banana bread makes it to day three of my #VLOGMAS2021 journey. This bread week is proving to be fun coming up with recipe ideas that I can add to my challenge. I love that banana bread gives you both that healthy-ish feel and dessert feel all in one because it is almost like eating cake! Banana bread is a type of bread made from mashed bananas.It is often a moist, sweet, cake-like quick bread; however there are some banana bread recipes that are traditional-style raised breads.  There are various variations of the banana bread which include, Banana raisin bread, Banana nut bread (often featuring chopped nuts, such as walnuts, pecans or almonds), Chocolate chip banana bread (featuring chocolate chips), Banana bread muffins, Vegan banana bread (made without eggs or dairy products), Blueberry banana bread (or other fruits such as raspberry or orange to add additional flavours and more. There's something undeniably comforting about the aroma of freshly baked banana bread wafting through the kitchen. The rich, moist texture, the sweet aroma of ripe bananas, and the warmth of cinnamon and vanilla – it all combines to create a slice of pure nostalgia. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a kitchen novice, our Moist Banana Bread recipe with 2 cups of all-purpose flour is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

Nutmeg Chocolate Mixed Spice Rock Cakes


Rock cakes kind of always remind me of Christmas. I know, I know, it's only March and it was Christmas only 4 months ago! But hear me out. Rock cakes especially cinnamon ones remind me of mom's baking when we were kids. The smell of baked goods wafting through the house was a sign that it was Christmas morning.  We would all excitedly go to the kitchen knowing that freshly baked goodies awaited us. The best part of eating these rock cakes was the crunchy slightly hard exterior then biting into the soft fluffy insides! Aaaaaah, great memories.

Eggless Chocolate Rock Muffins


A simple yet delicious chocolate treat as a desert or snack. Mom used to make them for birthdays or even holidays. She used to make them plain and sometimes add cinnamon. I remember how we used to go sit in the kitchen watching mum bake. For me I loved licking the batter from the bowl, I would tell mum not to clean the bowl as I would do it for her, only to sit on the floor and lick the cake batter! Brings back so many many memories. Today I chose to make them chocolate muffins, after all chocolate should be part of everyone'd diet, don't you think?  I love muffins because they are big fluffy delicious and totally filling. I love how they look like they are pouring over the muffin tin while baking, totally satisfying and therapeutic! The almost shapeless imperfection of the muffin is what gives it that distinct. I have always made these muffins with eggs but I wanted to see how they would taste without eggs. Didn't miss the eggs whatsoever! The chocolate muffins turned out soft, crumbly yet fluffy and delicious!

I don't know why I am so excited but this is the mood I want to start with hoping it is infectious until the end of the month. So new month, new recipes.

Still my need to be in the kitchen overrides every emotion I might have been having before. And what better way to start the new month than with chocolate, chocolate cookies to be precise. Add coconut, honey, butter, vanilla and you have foodie garsms right there! So let's get into the chocolatey goodness of it all
