17 Easy Home Baking Recipes
Easy, stress-relieving, healthy baking ideas that are sure to lift your mood.
When you’re stuck at home, baking can be a great source of stress and anxiety relief. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a keen baker or relatively new to the baking game, these easy and delicious home baking recipes have something for all levels. Typical baked goods found in shops and cafes will often contain high levels of refined carbs and sugars and aren’t likely to provide you with many health benefits. However, by simply switching a few ingredients out, you can make healthier twists on your favourite sweet treats. Whether you’re after brownies, cakes, tarts, or flans, you can make them all while keeping the calories and carbs down and the flavour high. Check out our tastiest home baking recipes below.
If you’re looking for convenience, indulgence and healthy treats generally, then our brownie mix or Vanilla Sponge Mix could be the one for you. Making delicious brownies which are also low in calories, carbs and sugars has never been easier - all you need to do is add water and bake!

Low calorie Banana Bread
As a waste-conscious public, recipes like banana bread are perfect for using up leftovers. Whereas the regular variety is sugar and fat laden, our low-calorie, gluten free banana bread makes perfect sense for dieters, without sacrificing on taste.

Chocolate and orange will always have that nostalgic taste, whisking us back to Christmas and chocolate oranges in one bite. However, we believe this tart should be enjoyed all year round!

Raspberry and Cherry Brownies
It’s always good to have some frozen and dried fruit stocked in your cupboards and freezer, be it for smoothies or desserts! We’ve opted for raspberries and cherries in these brownies, but you can add the fruit of your choice and they will be equally delicious!
Low-Calorie Chocolate Chip Cookies
Although slightly different from cookies you’d usually get in a shop, these healthier alternatives lose nothing in the taste department and still satisfy those cravings. By blitzing up your Lo-Dough base in a food processor, you can use the fine breadcrumbs as a great low carb flour replacement.
