Scones always remind me of my Gran who would make them every friday for when we visted her after school.

My son loves my banana and/or apple & cinnamon muffins. He often asks me to make them. I love baking a zucchini slice, too.

They all look fab but I vote for the zucchini, apple and banana muffins. Sneak them into the lunch boxes and they’re full of vegetables they kid’s don’t know about.

Yum. Definitely trying some of these and adapting to suit tastes and adding extra hidden vegetables to muffins and brownies to disguise more nutrients in snacks.

Anzac biscuits are always a winner and so great if you are stuck with no eggs and need to whip something up for a morning tea.

Love baking for family and friends no matter what’s on my mind, during the weekdays I do easy stuff, and weekends are for something requiring more attention and efforts.
