Baking by Ingredient
Sometimes you know exactly what you want to bake, but sometimes you start with one ingredient. A few apples in the fruit bowl, a leftover pack of puff pastry or a jar of Biscoff spread in the pantry. That is where these ingredient categories come in handy.
On this page you can easily browse recipes by ingredient. Whether you are looking for fresh fruit recipes, cozy fall bakes or easy desserts with chocolate, there is always something delicious to make.
Not specifically searching for recipes by ingredient? You can also browse sweet recipes, for example in the cakes category. A popular recipe to start with is easy banana bread.
Fruit Recipes
Fruit is one of my favorite ingredients to bake with. It adds freshness, natural sweetness and often makes a recipe feel extra homemade.
Start with the strawberry recipes category if you love fresh and fruity bakes. A recipe like strawberry milkshake is perfect for a quick treat, but strawberries are also delicious in cakes, cheesecakes and desserts.
Classic Baking Ingredients
Some ingredients are true baking staples. Think of chocolate, puff pastry, cream cheese, cinnamon and caramel. These are the kind of ingredients you can use in so many different ways, from quick desserts to impressive weekend bakes.
The chocolate recipes category is a lovely place to start if you are craving something rich and sweet. Or try a recipe like my favorite chocolate cake when you want to bake something that always goes down well.
Cozy, Festive and Dutch-Inspired Flavors
If you love warm spices and festive bakes, this part of Laura’s Bakery is for you. Flavors like pumpkin, speculaas and Biscoff/speculoos are perfect for fall, Christmas and cozy weekend baking.
These ingredients also bring a little Dutch baking inspiration to the English Laura’s Bakery website. Browse the Dutch recipes category for more traditional ideas, or try Biscoff tiramisu with speculaas cookies for an easy dessert with that warm, spiced flavor.
