... canned pumpkin made the muffins really heavy and wet, but that wasn't the biggest problem. The biggest problem was that I wasn't paying attention when I added the apple stuff that came with the apple quickbread mix, so I ended up adding that sugary stuff that people sometimes put on the top of muffins, with the end result that sometimes when I bite into them I get a big lump of mother-fricking ...

Oatmeal and Coconut recipe requests!

... oatmeal raisin cookies with but the flakes are larger than what I was previously using and I really don't like what it does to my recipe so now I'm stuck with a large box of oatmeal and I don't want to use it for oatmeal cookies. I was thinking that it could be used in a quickbread but the few I've tried have been gross so I'm looking for something a little bit more tired and true. Thanks guys!

Recipe request: Spice quickbread / cake

Last summer, I visited Edinburgh with my parents and some family friends. My mom, her best friend and I had high tea together a couple of afternoons, and with the tea, we were served different sandwiches and pastries. There was one sweet in particular that I loved that was slice thin, had a dark brown color and tasted like a variety of spices (most of which I can't identify, but considering it ...

desserts at camp

..., taste, originality, cooking from scratch at camp, nutritional benefits, lack of common allergens, etc.) I'm not sure if points should be awarded or deducted for urganism. I just made a pineapple-coconut quickbread, based on a banana muffin recipe. It was tasty when baked in thin layers in loaf pans. I tried steaming some of the batter, in a small pot inside a larger pot of boiling water. Half ...

The time in the oven is not enough

... it would be nice to eat something else for lunch and dinner while at work other than beans and quinoa along with some pan fried vegetables. I made bread. A bread based on yoghurt and fruit, a type of "quickbread" that sits in the oven for one and a half hour. So much for quick there, but hey, I also made a sourdough bread that, not counting the days waiting for the sourdough to be ready, ...

I'm that kid now

... one crumb at a time we can change the world forever. For Better. For Muffins. NEWS: In our love of muffins, we have awakened a monster of hate. Those cruel imposters of our noble quickbread, english muffins, are trying to taint our holiday. Stay vigilant, keep eating muffins. Now that we have an arch-nemesis, this day is all the more important." Ah Facebook and the strange and wonderful ...

.... It smelled really good in the process (warm, herby, bread wafting through the apartment...yum). The flour taste was too strong in the final product, and even though I was expecting it to have somewhat of a quickbread texture, it wasn't fluffy enough for being a yeast bread (and I thought I did a pretty good job paying attention to the rise/punch of the bread in the process). Oh well. No one's ...

Con Day the Second, Knitting, and Belated Updates

... I was supposed to assist. I owe him bigtime. A friend online suggested making brownies for him. This is a good idea; I'm going to tweak it and instead make more of that very tasty cake-like quickbread, and give it to Sempai and others who have covered my tail recently. I'll still owe him (and the others), but it'll be a good gesture. Forgotten item the second, from Tuesday: After finishing the ...

Thanksgiving and all that jazz

... school!) We did dinner with an old friend from our first stint in San Antonio. They covered the meat and side dishes, we provided dessert: 3 store-bought pies (pumpkin, pecan, and sweet potato), plus QuickBread pumpkin loaf, and 2 batches of krumkake, one with butter, one with SmartBalance vegan spread (no milk, for the very allergic boy). The krumkake was a big hit - none left at the end of ...
