Baked Pear & Blueberry Coconut Porridge/Oatmeal - Bakemas Day 17

Berries & Cream Ginger Beer Float - Bakemas Day 16

I feel like the only way to describe this is “kind of like a root beer/coke float...but kind of not at all”. I mean it’s berry-ie and creamy and gingery and fizzy and it gets this crazy foamy head you can eat with a spoon and it’s so quick to make especially when you use a hand blender.

Coffee Oatmeal/Porridge with Cherries, Chocolate & Coconut

Warm, cosy, wholesome caffeine-filled breakfast on a chilly morning topped with cherries, chocolate, blueberries and seeds; count me in.

I am 100% the definition of “it’s the little things”, I get excited about the most ridiculous things. I started writing this list around midday to put down as a caption for my daily photo but I thought it might be nice to add it on here too and it's kind of perfect for this recipe.

Strawberry, Yogurt & Granola Parfait and a little waffling.

Breakfast and a chat?

I don’t know if this is a bad idea or not but I might start doing something a little different on Sundays. I guess I’ll see how I feel after I post this because I’ve kind of been wandering around the house for a few hours umming and ahhing about it, but what's life without a little risk?

I apologise in advance for the mass amount of writing and I'll put a disclaimer now that this is not supposed to come off as depressing in the slightest but if you want you can just skip ahead to the recipe because this breakfast is so delicious. It’s one of those foods where you almost feel like you’re being bad but it’s healthy for you and it kind of tastes more like dessert than breakfast which is a win win in my book. What more could you ask for on a Sunday morning? Anyway, onto the waffling.

No-churn blueberry muffin ice cream

This has been a long time coming; for some reason I've just got out of the groove of things. I made this about three weeks ago; let me set the scene for you. It was a thursday, about 9 o'clock, I was up showered and already hot from running round the house, the sun was beaming down, there was not a cloud in the sky with temperatures expected to hit 30 degrees later that day. I walked through the kitchen and out of the corner of my eye spotted a tin of muffins longing to be eaten from the day before. With a little time to spare before meeting a friend, I decided to whip up some ice cream; how appropriate for the climate.

Two days later it was raining and for a week we were living with permanent grey skies, constant drizzle and the occasional downpour. I sort of took a mini holiday/sick week and pretty much spent the last week watching tv series with my laptop on my lap staring at a blank screen; bloggers block? Although I guess it was more lack of concentration than anything else. So here I am on a sunday evening writing this while my bed sheets dry with a coffee and film on standby as a reward for my spectacular efforts.

I guess this recipe is not quite so suitable now the season has changed, but I have always preferred my ice cream in winter; there's just something about the cold, eating ice cream and burying yourself in a sea of blankets. But if you're a warm weather ice cream lover, which I suppose most people are, just curl up by the fire and eat it, it's almost like it's summer again...right? You're just a little bit closer to the "sun".

When I said i whipped this up I wasn't kidding; I think it takes more time getting the ingredients out than it does to make this.

Blueberry muffins

Ladies and gentlemen throw your recipe books away because I have a blueberry muffin recipe that will knock your socks off; in the words of Justin Timberlake "these guys are DA BOMB!"

I'm sure most people have a blueberry muffin recipe tucked away in their cupboard that they always go back to, but this recipe is the best I've ever had; although I'm more than happy for you to prove me wrong. It's easy to make, moist, and with a crumb topping that involves the holy grail of ingredients; cinnamon, I wouldn't say no to multiple helpings.
