Happy Tuesday Ssasspots! Hope you’ve all had a lovely bank holiday weekend 🙂
I know there has been a lot of food related content on the blog recently, but that’s the great thing about being a lifestyle blogger. I’m sharing parts of my everyday life, and if you know me, you know food is a huge part of my life! Another little guilty pleasure of mine is baking, and although I have never allowed myself to get swept up by GBBO (that done by choice btw, I’d be glued to the tv if I did!) I thought I would get you all warmed up with a little treat seeing as the new season starts in an hour!
It’s ok, I’ll give you a moment to scroll back up.
Look pretty tasty right? I had a huge hankering for Flipz this weekend and decided to whip up a batch of my own in preparation for the Great British Bakeoff.
Sorry for the bad photo quality, I was kinda desperate to start stuffing my face and obviously couldn’t hold my camera steady…
NO – YOURE A CHILD!
Now don’t panic, these are super easy to make. Again with those mom points huh 😉 Seriously though, that dog people! I need one! They also work great as that post workout treat! Because once you’ve made your fat cry you deserve a little pick me up.
I know the sprinkles are a little OTT, but after attending a food network event a few weeks ago – I got kinda obsessed with sprinkles. It’s my 2017 baking trend prediction. Watch this space AND WATCH ME SPARKLE WITH SPRINKLES!
Now I have done you two versions, one super duper unhealthy and one that might surprise you 🙂 One of Sainsbury’s baking trend predictions is alternatives to sugars, and I thought I would put it to the test!
White Chocolate Pretzels
Ingredients:
- Pretzels ( I bought the lightly salted kind from Sainos)
- 2 bars of Sainsburys basics white chocolate (any kind will do)
- Sprinkles
Directions:
- Melt the chocolate in water bath
- There are two ways of doing this, you can either do it pretzel by pretzel, by dipping them one by one into the chocolate, and using a fork to pick them up and tap it against the edge of the bowl to get off any excess. OR you can do what I did. – I dropped the whole bag into the bowl, gave it gentle fold and then fished them out one at the time. Time is precious after all!
- Place the pretzels on a baking sheet.
- Apply sprinkles before the chocolate hardens.
Vanilla Yoghurt Pretzels
Ingredients:
- Pretzels ( I bought the lightly salted kind from Sainos)
- No fat vanilla Greek yogurt ( I used about 1.5 cups)
- A couple of teaspoons of Stevia (Stevia is an alternative to sugar, but you can use TRUVIA as well. I haven’t tried with syrups but worth giving it a go!)
- OPTIONAL – Vanilla protein powder for that extra punch!
Directions:
- Mix the yogurt with the stevia
- Follow step two from above.
- Place the pretzels on a baking sheet and pop them into the freezer until they have hardened!
- You can take them out after a few minutes and cover with sprinkles 🙂

I would love to hear if you gave one of these a try! What are your baking trend predictions for 2017?
