Blueberry Muffins- #100bakeschallenge (24)
After the Raspberry and White Chocolate Muffins went down well the other week, I’ve not made any more muffins since. Such a shame as they’re so easy to make. So different to shop bought in size and in terms of sweetness. These muffins are perfect for a breakfast on the go or a snack with…

Baking Update!
Hi everyone! I feel as if it’s a lifetime since I last updated my blog. My last post was just around Easter, I think. As soon as we got into the second week of the Easter holidays, I began to feel unwell. I have been using HRT for nearly two years and due to the…

#100bakeschallenge: Raspberry and white chocolate muffins (Muffin Monday!)
Did you know that Muffin was my nickname as a little girl? I think it was my Dad who called me that as apparently I couldn’t say Samantha properly and it came out something like “Muffind”! Or maybe I was like Muffin the Mule, haha! Whatever the reason, I love baking muffins even though it’s…

Jane’s Patisserie- Book Review.
Over the past couple of years I’ve discovered Jane’s Patisserie website with her delicious, foolproof recipes. Her cheesecake recipes are my absolute go-to, especially as cheesecakes always used to be a disaster when I made them before. Not any more. No more need for gelatine or for baking cheesecakes. I don’t need that with Jane’s…

Chocolate Chip Muffins
It’s been ages since I’ve baked muffins. At the beginning of the lockdown when going off to the supermarket for our weekly shop, my son asked if I could buy some of those mini muffins you can buy in plastic tubs on the bakery counter. I never usually buy these as they taste horrible to…

Marbled Mocha Muffins #MuffinMonday
I love baking muffins as they’re so quick and easy to throw together and stick in the oven. Though these are really more like cupcakes as I used butter in them. A quick and easy all in one sponge mix with butter, caster sugar, self raising flour and free range eggs to start with. Then…

Blueberry and Lemon Yoghurt Muffins
It’s very hard when you want to bake but you can’t because you know you’ll just eat it all. The other day I had the urge to bake some muffins. I told myself that it would be ok if I ate one for breakfast. Yes, it was very nice but I don’t recommend it because…

Chocolate Orange Yoghurt Muffins.
I get itchy hands when I haven’t baked for a few days. It’s been a mad few days in SmartCookieSam land. I had a really busy week doing a teaching assignment in a nursery, then that very weekend I went down with a chest infection. Before I started feeling really rough, I did manage to…

The Hairy Dieters’ Banana and Sultana Muffins.
I have a long running diet problem. My weight goes up and down by the same two stone like a yo-yo. The reason why? I have a sweet tooth. I had a long chat with my hubby and he said the answer is simple: “Stop baking!” To me, to stop baking would be like someone…

Scandelicious Baking- Dime/Daim Bar Muffins.
Last Friday, at the end of the second week of the summer holidays I was at home in baking mode. I’d had the scales and the oven on to bake some cupcakes for my Dad’s cousin’s Golden Wedding Celebration. My two teenagers weren’t coming to the party but I wanted them to have a treat…
