Very Chocolatey American Pancakes

Very Chocolatey American Style Pancakes- American style pancakes with added cocoa powder and chocolate chips to make them extra chocolatey. Perfect for dessert with whipped cream or ice-cream on Pancake day! Pancake Day is just around the corner! We are going for American style pancakes again this year for two reasons. The main reason is convenience. They are easy to make in big batches and then freeze, so you can whip them out the night before you need them and away you go. Also, I have just grown to prefer them. They are more substantial and a bit firmer, less floppy, than traditional British pancakes. Last time, I made banana pancakes which were really nice and were good for breakfast or dessert. This time, as it will be evening when we have them, I wanted something much more desserty, so I went for chocolate pancakes. They ended up being very chocolatey as I added cocoa powder and chocolate chips! Instinctively, I wanted to put the chocolate chips in the pancake batter. I decided ...

Chocolate Orange Drizzle Cake

This week I have made a Chocolate Orange Drizzle Cake in honour of the Great British Bake Off and as part of the #GBBOTwitterBakeAlong. The new series started this week with a whole set of new bakers and new challenges for us baking addicts to soak up. The first episode had the bakers taking on drizzle cakes, jaffa cakes and mirror cakes. I was pleased to see that they were going back to some basics that we might at least have heard of! One of the things that I love about Bake Off is how it manages to have me on the edge of my seat gasping about buttercream disasters and unrisen cakes, and there was plenty of that in the first episode! Given the choice of the three rounds from week 1, I decided against making a mirror cake (too scary) and thought I would combine the other two rounds of drizzle cake and jaffa cakes into one. So I made a Chocolate Orange Drizzle cake. It's a moist chocolate orange cake with orange curd running through it and orange sugar drizzle poured over the top...

Vegan Chickpea Burgers

Vegan Chickpea Burgers- a vegan chickpea burger recipe with plenty of spices, perfect for a summer dinner. If you had told me a few months ago that I would be making chickpea burgers and putting them on the blog, I would have laughed! But here I am, sharing an easy recipe for chickpea burgers with you now. In my effort to eat one vegetarian meal a week (Meat-Free Monday) I have been looking at ideas for protein-packed, filling meals. Chickpea burgers fit that bill perfectly. We weren't entirely sure whether we would love them, but they were absolutely delicious and we were definitely full afterwards. Once again, my Meat F ree Monday recipe is not just vegetarian, it's accidentally vegan too! The key thing to get right with chickpea burgers, is flavour. Don't get me wrong, I love chickpeas. I'd happily drown myself in a vat of houmous any day, but where they really work is when they are complemented by the right flavours. For these Vegan Chickpea Burgers, I use a combina...
