They’re gluten free, so easy to make and absolutely to die for!

Being a food blogger is hard work. There’s the recipe planing, the recipe testing, the photographing, editing the photos, writing the post. A lot goes into these humble little posts. But I think the hardest part is coming up with the recipe name! Especially for something as over the top as these beauties! I mean, if it’s a vanilla cake with chocolate frosting, that’s easy. But when so many layers make up the final product, each as delicious as the next, how do you decide on a name that does it justice and really tells your readers what they’re in for, without writing an essay as a title? I swear, naming a child would be easier sometimes.  Hopefully my final recipe title has captured the deliciousness of these cookie dough brownie bombs that I’m about to share with you!

Coconut, Ginger and Chocolate Oat Bars by Giraffes Can Bake - chewy oat bars, packed full of flavour. So easy to make, they're perfect lunch box snack!

It’s that time of year –  summer is ending, autumn is getting so close you can smell the pumpkin spice and kids are heading back to school! I love summer for all it’s wonderful flavours, all my favourite fruits are in season and tasting amazing, plus it’s the perfect time to enjoy a refreshing cocktail or Pimms cup n the garden. But autumn is definitely my favourite time of year, the weather isn’t great in the UK usually – we just have a lot of rain – but it’s cool out during Autumn and that makes me happy, even if it is wet too! It’s such a cozy time too; snuggly sweaters, hot drinks and warm spices – is there anything more comforting than Autumn?

 Chocolate Oranges are my Achilles heel, my weak spot! I don’t buy them often because I can sit and eat an entire one before I even realise I’ve opened it! But when they’re on sale I can’t help but grab one or two, and I’ve been very good and had three in my kitchen for a few months – waiting to be baked with – and I didn’t sneak a taste at all! I’m very proud of myself. I don’t know what took me so long to bake with them, I did have them hidden away too so I wouldn’t tempt myself, so they weren’t at the front of my mind.

Easter Rocky Road Brownies

Easter sneaked up on me this year, it always does when we have it early! I know the date of Easter is decided by the equinox (I think?) but I do wish it was the same date every year, because I just get confused! So I was a bit late baking something for Easter to share with you guys, but there’s still a week to go and plenty of time for you to bake up these amazing brownies! Or, if you have your Easter baking planned, take advantage of all the discounted Easter chocolate on April 7th and bake these after! Either way, everybody is gonna love them!
