<h2>Top Tips</h2>
<p>Using a wooden spoon for mixing flapjack is recommended it is:</p>
<ol>
  <li><strong>Gentle on Ingredients</strong>: Wooden spoons are less likely to damage the oats and other ingredients, helping to maintain the desired texture of the flapjack.</li>
  <li><strong>Heat Resistance</strong>: Wooden spoons don’t conduct heat, making them comfortable to hold when mixing hot ingredients.</li>
  <li><strong>Non-Reactive</strong>: Wood is non-reactive, meaning it won’t interact with ingredients or alter the taste of your mixture.</li>
  <li><strong>Sturdy and Durable</strong>: Wooden spoons are strong and durable, ideal for mixing thick, sticky mixtures.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Substitutions&nbsp;</h2>

<p>If you're looking for an easy banana bread recipe then look no further. Banana loaf&nbsp;is such a great way of using over ripe bananas, the fruit adds moisture and sweetness to your bake making it a healthier snack option.&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Why Bake Our Easy Banana Loaf Bread? &nbsp;</strong></h3>
<p>This banana bread recipe is easy to follow making it perfect for both beginners and experienced bakers. It is delicious in flavour and can be frozen once baked. Just slice beforehand so you can defrost a slice at a time.&nbsp; If love the warming undertones of spice in your loaf, try replacing a tbsp of flour for ginger. It's a gamechanger!&nbsp; Love banana in your bakes? Try our <a href="/recipes/banana-and-chocolate-chip-muffins">banana and chocolate chip muffin</a> recipe!&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Top Tips</h2>
<p>It's best to use ripe bananas for banana bread for several reasons:&nbsp;</p>
<ol>
  <li><strong>Sweetness</strong>: As bananas ripen, their starches convert into sugars, making them much sweeter</li>
  <li><strong>Moisture</strong>: Ripe bananas are softer and contain more moisture, which helps keep the banana bread moist</li>
  <li><strong>Ease of Mashing</strong>: Ripe bananas are easier to mash, which helps them blend more smoothly into the batter, ensuring an even texture throughout the bread</li>
  <li><strong>Flavour</strong>: Overripe bananas have a stronger banana flavour, which intensifies the taste of the banana bread</li>
</ol>
<h3>How ripe should bananas be for banana bread?</h3>
<p>Generally the riper the bananas, the better. Your bananas should be:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Very soft</li>
  <li>Covered in brown or black spots (or even mostly black work well)</li>
  <li>Strongly sweet-smelling</li>
</ul>
<p>The more ripe they are, the sweeter and more flavourful your banana bread will be. However, if you spot any mould or off-putting odour this indicates your bananas are too far gone and should be composted or thrown away.</p>
<h3>Can you put too much banana in banana bread?</h3>
<p>Yes, adding too much banana to banana bread can make it heavy, damp, and potentially under-cooked.&nbsp;It can also throw off the balance of wet to dry ingredients, leading to a mushy texture. For best results follow our recipe. If you have too many bananas leftover, you can always freeze them for later use.</p>
<h3>Why is my banana loaf soggy?</h3>
<p>A soggy banana loaf is usually caused by one (or more) of these:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Too much banana or liquid in the batter which can throw off the wet to dry ingredient balance</li>
  <li>Under-cooking – check with a skewer or knife; it should come out clean</li>
  <li>Not cooling properly – let it cool on a wire rack so moisture doesn’t build up underneath</li>
  <li>Using too small a tin for the mixture which can cause uneven cooking</li>
</ul>
<h2>How to Store</h2>
<p>To store banana loaf and keep it fresh, wait until its cooled completely before storing.&nbsp;For short term storage, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container where it will last up to 4 days.&nbsp;For medium-term storage, wrap it or place in an airtight container and refrigerate it for up to a week - although let it come to room temperature or warm before eating.&nbsp;For longer term storage you can freeze banana loaf. Wrap it tightly and place it in a freezer bag or airtight container, where it can last for up to 3 months.&nbsp;Make sure to defrost overnight or until room temperature, again you can warm slightly if you prefer. If you notice mould on your banana bread, it’s time to get rid of it.</p>

<p>Whether you’re a seasoned baker or just starting out, these chocolate brownies are sure to impress. With only 20 minutes prep time and 5 key ingredients, these chocolate brownies are easy to whip up anytime!</p>
<h3><strong>Why our Ultimate Chocolate Brownie?</strong></h3>
<p>In our chocolate brownie recipe, we use Billington’s Light Brown Soft Unrefined Cane Sugar, and believe us when we say these make the most indulgently-rich and gooey chocolate brownies you've ever tasted. You'll never look at another brownie the same way.</p>
<h3>How to Make Your Brownie the Most "Fudgy"</h3>
<p>Billington’s Light Brown Soft Unrefined Cane Sugar adds more moisture than white sugar due to its molasses content, making the brownies extra gooey. Then make sure you bake until just set. Overbaking can dry out your brownies, making them less fudgy.</p>
<p>Once you’ve mastered this chocolate brownie recipe, you can go wild exploring new flavour combos. Try adding Caramac or Biscoff spread to add a new twist - we've shown you how to amend the recipe below.</p>
<h2>How to make Caramac Brownies:</h2>
<p>Caramac lovers: Break 6x 30g bars into the brownie mix right before baking. Once&nbsp;baked, drizzle a melted 30g bar over the top.</p>
<h2>How to make Biscoff Brownies:</h2>
<p>Bonkers for Biscoff? Dollop 200g Biscoff spread into the brownie mix, right before&nbsp;baking. Break up 5 Biscoff biscuits and place the pieces&nbsp;on top of the brownie batter. Bake for 20 minutes extra.</p>

<p>This vegan biscoff cheesecake recipe is simple&nbsp;to make.&nbsp;Making a vegan version of a biscoff&nbsp;cheesecake is easy if you use the coconut based cream cheeses.&nbsp;I use Violife, it’s perfect and sets well with the biscoff so NO other ingredients except a little sugar are needed to give you a perfect cheesecake!</p>
<p><strong>To make mini cheesecakes:</strong></p>
<p>You can also make mini versions too, simply spoon the cheesecake base into loose bottomed cupcake, mini cake tin or individual ramekins and layer the filling and topping on top as per the recipe. If you don't have a loose bottomed tin you can use a cupcake baking tin and before filling with the cheesecake biscuit base put a thin 1cm strip of parchment paper inside the cupcake case (allow some of the paper to overhang the sides) When the cheesecake has chilled, you can run a knife around the edges and lift the paper strips to gently release your mini cheesecakes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>These super-simple, easy American-style pancakes are light, fluffy and perfect for an indulgent breakfast. Whip up our American pancake recipe in only 10 minutes, stack them and serve with syrup, bacon or fresh fruits.</p>
<h3>What's the main difference between British and American pancakes?</h3>
<p>The&nbsp;difference between British and American pancakes is that American-style pancakes use a raising agent - typically baking powder, whipped egg white, or both to make them thick and fluffy. We've used both in our recipe below.</p>
<h3>How to get fluffy American pancakes:</h3>
<p>We recommend doing the following to get super-fluffy pancakes:</p>
<p>- Allow your batter to rest before frying.</p>
<p>- Separate the egg yolk from the white initially. Beat your egg whites until they form stiff peaks, then combine the egg yolks with the rest of your ingredients - gently fold in the whipped egg whites last.</p>
<p>- Don't over-mix your batter, as you'll knock the bubbles out which causes the pancakes to rise. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Prepped and oven-baked in just over an hour, as soon as you take your first bite of our&nbsp;New York-style cheesecake you'll realise why it’s completely worth the effort. Serve to your friends and family and we guarantee they'll be asking for seconds - or even the recipe!</p>
<p>We’ve served ours with a tangy raspberry sauce, but you can personalise it however you like with fruit, caramel or even chocolate toppings.</p>
<h3>What’s the difference between a baked cheesecake and a no-bake cheesecake?</h3>
<p>The main difference between baked and no-bake cheesecake is in their preparation and texture. Baked cheesecake involves mixing ingredients like cream cheese, sugar and eggs, then baking in the oven, resulting in a dense, but creamy texture.</p>
<p>No-bake cheesecake, on the other hand, is chilled and set in the refrigerator and made without eggs, relying on ingredients like cream for firmness, and resulting in a lighter, mousse-like texture. Baked cheesecakes are richer, indulgent and completely worth the extra effort - and no-bake cheesecakes are quicker to prepare and have a softer, airier consistency. Both of them are equally as yummy!</p>
<h3>Reasons to bake:</h3>
<p>⭐Easy recipe for pro or novice bakers</p>
<p>⭐Deliciously rich and creamy</p>
