Following the release of her Sunday Times best-selling first cookbook, Fitwaffle’s Baking It Easy , social media baking sensation Eloise Head is back with a brand-new collection of easy traybakes. Baked In One presents a dazzling array of delicious treats that bakers of all levels can create with zero fuss and one trusty 20cm tin. With chapters spanning brownies, blondies, cakes, breakfasts, pies and crumbles, cookies and biscuits, no-bakes, snacks, and seasonal ideas, there’s a simple traybake for every occasion.

Among the one hundred recipes, you can expect guaranteed crowd-pleasers, fun flavour combinations (including plenty of Biscoff, salted caramel, and cookies and cream twists on your favourite bakes) and lots of five-ingredient recipes perfect for baking on a budget. Here are just ten of our favourites.

Cookies and Cream Blondies

Given the growing popularity of blondies, it’s no surprise to find a whole chapter dedicated to the vanilla-based cousin of the chocolate brownie in Baked In One . There are so many different varieties to try here, from snickerdoodle to apple pie, speculoos to Oreo-studded, as pictured here.

Salted Caramel Brownies

If you love a rich, fudgy brownie and you also can’t get enough of salted caramel, you’ve just hit the jackpot.

Carrot Cake

Baked In One is packed full of Eloise’s creative inventions, but you’ll also find plenty of recipes for the classic in there too. This super easy traybake is everything a carrot cake should be: moist, spiced, nutty and topped with a creamy frosting.

Caramel Apple Pie Bars

This clever bake brings together all of the flavours of a classic apple pie in traybake form. The buttery shortbread base acts as a stand-in for the pie case and is layered up with a creamy baked cheesecake filling, roasted cinnamon apples, a shortbread crumble topping and a drizzle of caramel. The perfect autumnal bake.

What’s better than cookie dough? Red velvet cookie dough! These super soft bars of cookie dough are inspired by the classic cake flavour, with plenty of cocoa powder to make them perfectly chocolatey, plus red food colouring and white chocolate chips to recreate the classic red and white colour combination.

Cookies and Cream Millionaire’s Bars

This Oreo twist on a millionaire’s shortbread features a crushed Oreo base topped with layers of homemade caramel and white chocolate and finished with whole Oreo cookies.

Ultimate Birthday Sprinkle Cake

With its rainbow confetti sprinkles, this ultimate birthday cake is our new go-to recipe for kids’ parties and office birthdays.

Gooey Easter Egg Brownies

One of our favourite chapters in Baked In One is dedicated to celebration bakes, with everything from spooky Frankenstein brownies for Halloween to these brownies topped with creme eggs for Easter.

Christmas Festive Blondies

Another seasonal favourite, these Christmassy blondies are studded with festive red and green candy.

Speculoos Cake

If you’re a fan of speculoos (aka Biscoff), you’ll find plenty of recipes using the caramelised biscuit spread dotted throughout Baked In One . This cake boasts speculoos in every delicious layer, with the spread rippled through the batter and buttercream, and the finished cake decorated with crushed speculoos biscuits.
