When I want a little sweet treat I make smoothies.

My base is always frozen banana + milk + oats then do one of these:

Cinnamon + vanilla

Pumpkin + pumpkin spice+ brown sugar

Strawberries/blue berries

Cost like under a dollar to make a good cup and they are pretty filling.

    Brown soda bread made with buttermilk, still warm from the oven with butter and good cheddar. So comforting. It’s like tasting my childhood again.

      You can’t just lay that out there without giving us the deets on how to create it ourselves

        Hahaha. In a short space I’ve had two folks asking for it.

        It honestly couldn’t be simpler. I did reply to the other request with the basics and will get back to you both in the morning as it’s 2am here. :)

        I’m gonna get you the proper measurements etc. tomorrow because it’s very late here but the ingredients are:

        400g wholemeal flour

        White plain flour, seived (my own preference is about 1/4 but you let your mouth decide from experience)

        Baking soda

        Pinch of salt

        Buttermilk until it’s fairly mushy

        Honestly you just lump it all together. Make a circular mound out of it. Criss cross with a knife and lob it in the oven on a floured baking tray at 180C for fan.

        I’ll get you a proper recipe in the morning or poke me if I forget. It’s hard to do wrong and I’m not a good baker.

            Here’s a decent one. I was pretty close. :D

            I would tend to do 400 / 100 brown to white, no wheatgerm as I said but I do like it it a bit more dense. Higher white flour ratio will have it slightly less dense so up to yourself. It’s technically possible to do with normal milk and baking powder (instead of buttermilk / baking soda) but I would always go with the buttermilk and soda myself.

            I also frequently use that recipe and just roll it out and cut scones out of it with a glass or large cutter. They cook faster for hungry kids and have more crust (which I like).

            Interested to hear if you do give it a whirl. :)

            edit: I had a quick look at your post history and see you’re vegan. Baking powder (probably 2tsp I imagine for the acid + base instead of 1 for just the base when using baking soda) with oatmilk I would imagine would be totally fine. I’m not sure if there are any acidic vegan milks that would be the equivalent of the buttermilk?

            In a pinch I have used cows milk, baking soda and a small amount of vinegar or even lemon juice in the milk for raising. Good luck!
