It’s another Treat Petite round up for you to feast your
eyes upon. The theme this month was ‘Anything Goes’ and there was a scrumptious
selection of goodies entered into the linky this month.
Take a look…
Firstly my pal Janice, at Farmersgirl Kitchen entered her chocolate
tiffin. Made with figs, I think these would pack a sweet punch! The no-bake
recipe was ideal for those who didn’t want to turn on the oven in the hot
weather!
Next, Caroline over at Caroline Makes, inadvertently predicted
the first bake on this year’s GBBO, by making this lemon
drizzle traybake. Ideal for picnics, it was drizzled with a lemon sugar
syrup and I bet made everyone’s lips pucker up!
Angela at Only Crumbs Remain used bilberries in her Bilberry
and Custard Crumble Tarts. An ingredient, I’ve never had before, Angela
explains they can be a very liquid fruit, but using a metal tin can counteract
the moisture. I think these would be a very elegant dessert at a dinner party.
Next Anukampa at Namaks Wada Nusar made Dates
Maamouls, a popular Lebanese dessert. These are small cookies stuffed with
different ingredients such as dates, dry fruit, nuts and so on. For her filling
Anukampa used dates, cinnamon, cardamom and coconut. These look a perfect treat
to enjoy with a cuppa.
Helen at Family Friends Food made two tempting recipes which
she shared with us.
Firstly Cheese
and Olive Savoury Muffins, loaded with tangy cheese, herbs, garlic and
salty olives. I love the circles of olive dotted on top of each muffin. Super
cute! And perfect for a summer picnic also!!
Helen also entered her blueberry
and coconut ombre ice lollies. A combination of flavours I had never
thought about using before, these lollies were graduating colours of purple and
looked very easy on the eye and easy on the tummy!
Next, my baking pal, Kat at The Baking Explorer made a Cherry
Traybake flavoured with almonds and topped with marzipan. The cherry
decorations on top were adorable and I bet the traybake was a flavour
explosion!
Another recipe using cherries were these gooey Chocolate
Cherry Pecan Brownies from Kate, the Gluten Free Alchemist. If these fudgy,
moist brownies tasted as good as Kate’s photographs looked I am making them
pronto!
Next was my entry Cookie
Dough Stuffed Oreos. I combined my love of Oreo cookies and combined this
with a dollop of homemade cookie dough in each. A fun idea to make, which
anyone who loves scraping out the bowl will adore!
Claire, the Foodie Quine, made Blackcurrant
Oaty Flapjacks. She has had a bumper crop of blackcurrants in her garden
this year and got inventive adding the wee currants to flapjacks. They look
gorgeous and packed with flavour.
Elizabeth at Elizabeth’s Kitchen Diary used courgettes in
her courgette
and poppy seed muffins to give added moisture. She says they are not too
sweet and almost savoury – they sound very intriguing!
Coconut
Scones with coconut Nutella glaze were entered by The Lawyer’s Cookbook and
are a scrummy combination of coconut milk, shredded coconut, pecans and
Nutella. Why don’t Starbucks ever sell scones as good as these!?
Last, but not least we had Eb at easy peasy foodie with her Blueberry
Porridge Squares. Now I adore porridge and blueberries, so combining the
two and baking into little bars – yes please!!
What a delectable round up of treats which I’m sure gives us
all some inspiration! Thanks to everyone who took part and look out for Treat
Petite next month, hosted by Kat, The
Baking Explorer.
What a mouth watering selection of delicious looking entries! Thanks to everyone who linked up.
