Celebrate World Baking Day 2023 with 8 of our all time favourite baking recipes!
World Baking Day 2023 👩🍳
This Wednesday 17th May is World Baking Day - a chance to celebrate all things baking and the wonderful foods it brings us!
There are so many reasons why we love baking, but here are just a few...
🧡 Baking your own food means that you can cook from scratch - choosing to include only natural, healthy, real food ingredients - and swerving the artificial colourings, flavouring and added chemicals you find in readymade baked goods
🧡 Getting creative in the kitchen helps us to learn new skills, is a great hobby, is super rewarding and the perfect way to enjoy some screen-free downtime on a weekend
🧡 We love getting the whole family involved in our bakes, especially the little ones who will love helping out (and 'cleaning' the yummy bowls and dishes when you're done with them!)
🧡 Take a special occasion to the next level and impress your guests with some homemade bakes - great for gifting too, to show someone that you really care!
A Round-Up of Our Favourite Bakes 😍
To celebrate World Baking Day we have gathered 8 of our all time favourite baking recipes, to inspire your kitchen creations and help you get involved! Here's a round-up of our 8 favourite bakes.
Chocolate Brownies with Extra Virgin Coconut Oil 🍫
Crispy on the outside, gooey and oozy in the middle - just like the perfect brownie should be!
Our chocolate brownies are made with Extra Virgin Organic Coconut Oil - a fabulous fat that's perfect for baking with. We use 100% dark chocolate and almond flour, to keep it low carb and gluten-free.
This recipe makes 16 servings, the perfect traybake to treat the whole family with - just be sure to keep a couple back for yourself!
Gingerbread Cookies with Coconut Butter Icing 🥥
If you have little ones at home, this recipe is a must this World Baking Day!
The kids will be more than happy to help you decorate the gingerbread cookies - simply by dipping in melted coconut butter or going the extra mile with iced faces and patterns.
We add Collagen Peptides to our cookie mix, which are neutral in flavour and ideal for adding to healthy baking recipes like this one.
Dark Chocolate Raspberry Muffins 🧁
Make your own dairy-free and gluten-free muffins using almond flour, non-dairy milk, dark chocolate and naturally sugar-free erythritol.
We love the addition of raspberries, which are a low sugar fruit packed with a fresh and fruity flavour - which perfectly balances out the chocolate in this recipe.
The fat in these muffins is Extra Virgin Organic Coconut Oil, a healthy fat that's as good for you as these muffins taste!
Ultimate Chocolate Cake with Sugar-Free Frosting 😍
Who said that you had to give up chocolate cake to follow a healthy lifestyle anyway?
This showstopper of a chocolate cake deserves no less than to be the centrepiece of any special occasion, perfect for birthdays, anniversaries and family get-togethers.
You can make a rich, indulgent and gooey chocolate cake that is actually good for you with a few simple swaps.
One genius swap in this recipe is using our Classic Avo Mayo as a healthy alternative to veg & seed oils or margarine. This mayo is packed with fabulous fats that will also add a richness and moisture to your cake.
Seed Crackers with Collagen Peptides 🌱
Baking doesn't always have to be sweet and we love a savoury baked treat just as much.
You can bake your own healthy snacks in batches, so that there's always a tasty and nourishing bite nearby whenever you need a little pick-me-up.
Our seed crackers are low carb, high fat and Keto friendly. They're made simply with a mixture of your favourite seeds, a dash of water, sprinkle of seasonings and Collagen Peptides.
Bake in batches until crispy, then snap into bitesized seed crackers you can take with you and munch on the go!
Grain Free Bread Rolls with Smoked Salmon 🥯
Bread is often perceived as one of the most difficult things to bake, but it doesn't have to be. Why not challenge yourself this World Baking Day to make these deceivingly simple grain-free bread rolls?
They're made with almond flour and psyllium husk powder to keep things grain and gluten-free. We also add a dash of apple cider vinegar, which works its magic to improve the texture and crumb of the bread.
Top your grain-free bread rolls with a generous dollop of Garlic Avo Mayo and some wild caught smoked salmon for the perfect lunch, brunch or light meal!
Chocolate and Raspberry Cheesecake Marble Brownies 🍓
Another showstopper of a dish, this recipe will take your brownies to the next level.
Classic chocolate brownie mixture is marbled with cream cheese 'cheesecake' filling, to create an amazing marbled effect that will have your guests wondering if you've bought your bake 👀
We add Collagen Peptides to the cheesecake filling to help support healthy hair, bones, joints and gut function with every delicious chocolate cake bite!
Grain Free Protein Bars with Collagen Peptides 😋
Baking your own protein bars will save you a fortune in hard earned cash.
It also means that you can use Hunter & Gather Collagen Peptides - award winning, grass fed collagen peptides that are the gold standard of protein powders.
We add dark chocolate and coconut flakes, as well as a sprinkle of sea salt to make delicious and nutritious protein bars that are completely natural.
You can cut your protein bars into small bites and even freeze them, ideal for taking to a picnic or enjoying in the great outdoors to keep you fuelled.
We hope that we have inspired you to get busy in the kitchen this World Baking Day. Whether you're a culinary wizard or baking novice, there's no time like the present to get started with baking and enjoy reaping the delicious rewards!
