10 easy traybakes you’ll love in Fitwaffle: Baked In One

by Jessica Lockyer-Palmer

published on 1 February 2023

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.
