👩🏽‍🍳 Baking Pastries 👩🏽‍🍳

🧁 My favorite old hobby 🍪

What is Baking?

Baking is a method of preparing food that uses dry heat, typically in an oven, but can also be done in hot ashes, or on hot stones. The most common baked item is bread, but many other types of foods can be baked. Heat is gradually transferred "from the surface of cakes, cookies, and pieces of bread to their center. As heat travels through, it transforms batters and doughs into baked goods and more with a firm dry crust and a softer center".

Back when I was 16 years old, I explored some of the few things that people around me loved to do, and one of them was baking or cooking. I tried baking for the first time and for a few months it became my top tier for hobbies. However, I had to stop at one point because my schedule for classes were getting too hectic. Baking is probably one of those old hobbies I'd like to go back to once I know for myself I'm financially free.



Here are some recipes I enjoyed baking myself 🥰

Chocolate Chip Cookies

This recipe was named the “Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies,” because it’s got everything a cookie connoisseur could possibly ask for. With a texture that is slightly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, it’s a favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe that’s been top-rated by hundreds of satisfied home cooks.

Chocolate Cupcakes

This recipe is one of the most basic chocolate cupcakes you can find on the internet! If you're looking for a bittersweet cupcake dessert that's easy to work through where you can make a few adjustments into your liking? Ahhh. These classic chocolate cupcakes are ready in less than an hour, and the perfect dessert for any occasion.

Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

These banana bread muffins make for the perfect mid-morning or afternoon snack, when you need something to sustain you to the next meal. This hand-held version of my go-to banana bread is moist, flavorful, and chock-full of crunchy pecans and mini chocolate chips (trust me, banana bread is all the better with chocolate).
