1) Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon rolls are the ultimate autumn bake recipe and a must-try during the cosy season. This classic sweet treat recipe, with its warm, gooey cinnamon filling and soft dough, is the perfect activity for a relaxing Sunday. Whether you're baking them with the kids or whipping up a batch for yourself, cinnamon rolls are a great way to fill the kitchen with that comforting autumnal smell. Oh, and they’re not just for dessert either – they can easily be warmed up for breakfast and enjoyed with a hot drink, too.

To make cinnamon rolls at home, start by rolling out your dough. You’ll want to slather it with a generous layer of softened butter, then sprinkle over a mix of sugar and cinnamon – this is where all that rich autumn flavour comes from! Once the filling is evenly spread, roll up the dough tightly from one end to the other. Slice the rolled dough into individual rolls and place them in a baking tray. Bake until golden brown, and your kitchen smells amazing! Once out of the oven, drizzle over some homemade icing while they’re still warm, and you’ve got yourself a deliciously gooey, cosy autumn treat that’s perfect for any time of day.

2) The Classic Banana Bread

The classic banana bread is hands down one of the best autumnal bakes to try, especially when you're looking for easy autumn bake ideas that help you use up those overripe bananas sitting in your fruit bowl. Not only is it deliciously moist, but it’s also super simple to make – perfect for even beginner bakers! To whip up a batch at home, all you need to do is mash a few ripe bananas and mix them with sugar, flour, eggs, and a little baking powder. Pop the batter in a loaf tin and bake until golden and delicious. For a smoother texture, make sure to use a flour sifter like Poundland’s Pepco Home Flour Sifter, available online and in-store, to get that perfectly light and fluffy mixture. Whether you're enjoying a warm slice with butter or pairing it with a cuppa, banana bread is the ideal bake for a cosy autumn afternoon!

3) Chocolate Orange Cupcakes

If you're after easy autumn bakes with a twist, chocolate orange cupcakes are a must-try! The rich, warming flavour of chocolate combined with the zesty hit of orange makes these cupcakes the ultimate autumn treat. Perfect for a cosy evening in or sharing with friends, they’re sure to be one of the best recipes you try this season.

To make chocolate orange cupcakes at home, start by whipping up a basic chocolate cupcake batter using flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and eggs. The key here is to add a splash of freshly grated orange zest and a bit of orange juice to the mix – this will give your cupcakes that lovely citrusy burst that perfectly complements the rich chocolate flavour. Fill your cupcake cases with the batter and bake until they’re light and fluffy, usually around 18-20 minutes. As they cool, start to prepare the chocolate orange buttercream by beating together butter, icing sugar, cocoa powder, and a splash of orange juice, along with some zest for that added zing. Pipe this buttercream generously on top of your cooled cupcakes for an extra indulgent touch. Whether you enjoy them with a cup of tea in the afternoon or you’re indulging with an after-dinner treat, these chocolate orange cupcakes are guaranteed to become your go-to autumn bake, bringing a burst of flavour and a smile to everyone’s face!

4) The Classic Ginger Cake

When it comes to classic autumnal bakes, you can’t go wrong with a delicious gingerbread cake! This iconic treat is not only packed with warming spices like ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg, but it’s also super easy to make at home.

To whip up your gingerbread cake, start by combining flour, brown sugar, ground ginger, and baking powder in a bowl. Then, mix in melted butter, black treacle, and eggs until you have a smooth batter. Pour it into your baking mould and bake until it’s perfectly spongy and fragrant. If you're looking for the perfect mould to create a lovely round cake, check out our Silicone Round Baking Form – it’s ideal for achieving that perfect shape and easy to clean up afterwards! Once your gingerbread cake has cooled, you can enjoy it plain, dusted with icing sugar, or even topped with a creamy buttercream for a little extra indulgence. This classic gingerbread cake will not only fill your home with delightful aromas but also make for a scrumptious autumnal treat!

5) Sticky Toffee Pudding

Sticky toffee pudding is the ultimate comfort dessert, making it a must-try autumn bake that will warm your soul! To make this classic pudding at home, start by combining chopped dates with boiling water and a sprinkle of baking powder, letting them soak while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until fluffy, then add eggs and vanilla. Fold in the flour and your date mixture until just combined, then pour it into a greased baking tin. Bake until it’s beautifully risen and springy to the touch. When it’s time to take your creation out of the oven, be sure to use our Silicone Oven Mitts to keep your hands safe from the heat! Once it’s baked, the real magic happens when you drizzle a luscious toffee sauce over the top, allowing it to soak into the warm pudding. Serve your sticky toffee pudding with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of double cream, and you’ve got yourself the perfect autumnal treat that everyone will adore!
