Sweet treats to beat the January Blues

There was a delicious array of recipes linked up to last week's post and because it's January, and we all need a bit of a pick me up (well I certainly do), I've decided to showcase a wonderful selection of sweet treats to get us through the January blues. We have cakes, muffins, cookies and buns as well as a few favourites from my blog Effortless Foodie

5 sweet treats from #CookBlogShare Week 3

Breakfast Muesli Muffins

Jacqui over at Only Crumbs Remain has linked up these healthy Breakfast Muesli Muffins made with wholemeal spelt flour. Perfect for breakfast on the go, or as a mid morning pick me up!

Apricot & Almond Flapjacks

These delicious Apricot and Almond Flapjacks from Cat over at Curly's Cooking are crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside - just how a flapjack should be! My kids love flapjacks so I'll definitely be giving these a try at the weekend.

Pear and Apple Crumble Cake

This vegan pear and apple crumble cake from Family Friends and Food has a layer of tender vanilla sponge with cinnamon-spiced apples and pears, and a topping of scrumptious oaty crumble. Perfect with a cup of tea or why not serve warm as an easy dessert?

Whitby Lemon Buns

I couldn't resist including Karen's Whitby Lemon Buns in the round-up. Made using a sourdough starter, they are light and airy with plump sultanas inside them and a generous dollop of lemon icing on top. Who could resist one of these?

Castagnole

Last but by no means least these light and airy castagnole from Maicruz Avalos are deliciously soft on the inside and crisp on the outside. Castagnole (a traditional Italian dessert) are so called because their shape is reminiscent of a chestnut.

Lemon Curd Loaf Cake

This zingy lemon curd loaf cake is the perfect sweet pick me up! It’s fresh, moist and oh so moreish, you definitely won’t be able to stop at one slice! Serve for afternoon tea or as a quick and easy pudding with cream.

Chocolate Tiffin with Mini Eggs

A rich and delicious no-bake chocolate tiffin with mini eggs, the perfect chocolate treat for Easter, or any time of year for that matter! Crushed digestive biscuits, melted chocolate and sweet golden syrup encase the all-important Cadburys mini eggs in this decadent chocolate delight. Not for the faint-hearted, that’s for sure!

Peanut Butter & Banana Muffins

These light and fluffy peanut butter and banana muffins make a delicious and filling snack for kids, or a protein-packed grab and go breakfast option.
