Love it
We want to make baking easy for everyone so that all ingredients that you can simply get them in your cupboard at home. Knowing ingredients is the first step in Home Baking. You can start baking at any time when you are at home once you know all ingredients that you need. We do not like to call the whole process of baking is making desserts, we’d rather call it the process of art creating. Once you find it easy, you can find joy from the process and you are going to love home-baking. When you do home-baking, you know what ingredients are, we would make it more healthier when it comes to the sugar and add-ins.
"When I'm in the kitchen, measuring the amount of sugar, flour or butter I need for a recipe or cracking the exact number of eggs—I am in control,”- baker John Whaite.
When you bake at home, you have the opportunity to choose the ingredients. You can choose the brands of all ingredients. If you are conscious about sugar, you can put less sugar in or choose a natural honey to replace it. For add-ins, you can choose to put less add-ins. When you bake, you can choose baking recipes which probably have less calories. Therefore, you have the full control of it.

A healthy baking recipe (ingredients from above)
Breakfast muffins - 2 large eggs
- 150ml pot natural low-fat yogurt
- 50ml rapeseed oil
- 100g apple sauce or pureed apples (find with the baby food)
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 4 tbsp clear honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 200g wholemeal flour
- 50g rolled oats, plus extra for sprinkling
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- 1½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1½ tsp cinnamon
- 100g blueberry
- 2 tbsp mixed seed (we used pumpkin, sunflower and flaxseed)
Instruction - STEP 1
Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with 12 large muffin cases. In a jug, mix the eggs, yogurt, oil, apple sauce, banana, honey and vanilla. Tip the remaining ingredients, except the seeds, into a large bowl, add a pinch of salt and mix to combine.
- STEP 2
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix briefly until you have a smooth batter – don’t overmix as this will make the muffins heavy. Divide the batter between the cases. Sprinkle the muffins with the extra oats and the seeds. Bake for 25-30 mins until golden and well risen, and a skewer inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out clean. Remove from the oven, transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool. Can be stored in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
Use simple ingredients to bake for yourself and your familyies, which is a healthier choice because you have the full control of it. Baking at home, put on some soft music, take your time to enjoy the process, which can not only relax your mind, but also smooth your soul.
