Vegan hot cross buns

Posted by Bake Club on Friday, April 8, 2022, In : bread 

Easy buns! For us non-religious types, why don't we make hot cross buns all throughout the year and just call them not cross buns?


Makes 12

500 g flour

2 1/2 tsp dried yeast

1/4 c caster sugar

1 1/4 c mixed dried fruit (I used mixed peel and prunes)

1/2 tsp nutmeg

2 Tbsp apple sauce

Cross

Another trio of bliss balls - peanut butter, lemon & chocolate prune

Posted by Bake Club on Friday, July 2, 2021, In : sweets 

Bliss balls are the easiest thing to make. Basically chuck everything in the food processor and blitz. To fancy them up you can coat them in melted chocolate. You can use anything you have available in your pantry and swap out different nuts, seeds and dried fruit and sweetener to create different versions. Here's another 3 versions here.

Peanut butter, makes about 30

1 c oats

1/2 c peanut butter

1/2 c dates

1/4 c toasted peanuts


Chocolate prune, makes about 30

1 c cashews

1 1/2 c prunes

1/4 c ground ...

Prune blondies

Posted by Frances Chan on Saturday, June 20, 2020, In : slices 

This recipe originally uses apricots but I just used what I had to hand, prunes. The prunes add a lovely sweet and sticky flavour to the blondies. Slab or tray cakes are quite robust and practical to make for lunchboxes or to feed a crowd


175g butter, softened

1/2 c brown sugar

1/2 c caster sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

3 eggs

1/2 c self-raising flour

1 1/2 c plain flour

1 c chopped prunes (or apricots)

1/2 c white chocolate chips (optional)

icing sugar to dust


Preheat oven to 180C. Line a 17 x 27cm cake ...

Gingerbread bundt cake

Posted by Bake Club on Tuesday, May 26, 2020, In : big cakes 

I got myself a new tin! A silicone bundt actually. The cake slipped out the mould very nicely. It pays to still grease and flour silicone moulds, just to make sure. I decided to add a little surprise in the middle - stewed prunes. They contrast quite well with the gingery cake. They're completely optional, though. You can replace the butter with more oil if you like. This recipe browns the butter first for extra flavour.

Stewed prunes:

1 c prunes
1 c water
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Flapjacks

Posted by Bake Club on Thursday, November 14, 2019, In : slices 

Flapjacks, muesli bars, granola bars, oatmeal crunch - whatever you call them these wholesome bites are great for lunch boxes and snacks in general. In the US though, flapjacks are pancakes, so don't get lost in translation. What makes traditional flapjacks compared to other granola bars is the inclusion of golden syrup, which gives a caramely taste.
I have substituted with healthier rice syrup (no fructose) but feel free to use whatever sweetener you prefer. You can also use non-dairy spread ...

Caramel slice - version 4

Posted by Bake Club on Friday, January 25, 2019, In : slices 

Here's another version of a raw caramel slice. I've tweaked the ingredients to make it simpler. If you're not averse to peanuts, peanut butter makes a very good caramel base. The prunes add a lovely sweetness to the base.

Base:
1/2 c pitted dates
1/3 c prunes, optional
1 c almonds (toasted if you like)
1 1/2 tbsp coconut oil
pinch sea salt

Caramel:
1/2 c pitted dates (or date syrup)
1/2 c maple syrup
1/3 c peanut butter (I prefer smooth)
1/4 c coconut oil

Topping:
1/4 c cacao powder
1/4 c coconut oil, so...

Apple and prune slice

Posted by Bake Club on Friday, November 20, 2015, In : slices 

On a visit to the library I spied a whole table of enticing cookbooks, including French by the Australian Women's Weekly. I went straight to the After-Dinner Treats section and found something fruity I could make with what I had on hand. This is the first time I've made my own shortcrust pastry, using a food processor. Turned out lovely and crisp and I shall be doing it again!

4 apples (about 600g)
3/4 c prunes, chopped
2 1/2 c water
1 tsp each cinnamon and nutmeg
2 Tbs ground hazelnuts (...
