🧣 It’s officially baking season! Let’s talk winter warmers…

There’s something magical about the first day of winter. Woolly socks are out of hiding, the kettle’s always on...and baking? It's just sooo much cosier!  So I’ve picked out three of my favourite Cosy Winter Recipes: Easy Comfort Food Bakes for Cold Weather, to help you ride out the cold in the tastiest way possible. Whether you’re wrapped in a blanket or cranking the oven for "warmth" (we’ve all done it), these recipes are your winter mood board.

And since the chilly mornings are now officially part of the routine, along with walking the dogs in a puffer jacket (me and the dogs!), it’s the perfect time to cosy up with some of my favourite winter warmers.  Whether you’re after something sweet, savoury or somewhere in between, these recipes will keep your hands warm, your belly full, and your house smelling like home.

Why You’ll Love These Recipes ❤️

• They’re real comfort food -nothing fussy, just cosy flavours and warm kitchens.

• Perfect for batch cooking (hello, leftovers 👋).

• They're our family favourites!

My Top Winter Warmers 🥣

🍎 Apple Pie Porridge

Start your morning with a bowl that feels like dessert. With spiced apples, creamy oats, and a touch of maple, this one’s basically a hug in a bowl.

🍫 Chocolate Self-Saucing Pudding

The kind of pudding that makes it's own sauce while baking is pure magic (and pretty convenient too!). Best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or chantilly cream....and zero regrets.

🥐 Easy Homemade Sausage Rolls

Crispy, flaky pastry and a filling that actually tastes like meat. These always disappear fast, so don't be afraid to double the recipe!  And yes, they freeze beautifully.

Prefer to Bake and Freeze? 🧊

Try these cosy, freezer-friendly recipes as well:

• Pizza Pinwheels:  Great for lunchboxes and snacky teens.

• Classic Banana Bread:  Lower sugar, so it's a guilt-free brekky option.  Slice and freeze individual portions for later.

• No-Chill Choc Chip Cookies: I always keep a stash of these cookie dough balls in the freezer!  Simply bake from frozen, whenever you feel a cookie craving coming on.

Let’s Stay Toasty 🔥

If you're anything like me, your oven's basically on from June until September....and sometimes it's just to heat the kitchen!  These recipes are the ones I come back to year after year when I want something easy, nostalgic and comforting, with ingredients I always have on hand.

And if you're still clinging to a slice of pavlova or a deliciously light tiramisu from summer, don’t worry - I got you!  Just click on the links and you'll be reliving summer in no time!
