Easter season is here which means it’s time to make a mess and bake with the little ones, from hot cross buns to no bake creations.
Many of us have a bit more time on our hands and often need to entertain adults and children during the holidays. You might find yourself wondering what to cook or bake during the school holidays or when you have guests without having to go to the supermarket.
I love looking through my cupboard and fridge to see what is available there. Ingredients that I usually can always find include canned pineapple chunks - I use Del Monte - oats, flour, butter, sugar, almond flour, chocolate chunks and coconut milk.
With these staples, I can create my favourite drinks or bake some goodies from cookies to cakes.
Here is a recipe using ingredients that most of us should have at home. It's cheap, cheerful and delicious - costing only 56p per serving, the recipe will be enough for 16 servings and ready in just over an hour.
