:: baking four types of bread ~ rosemary, sun-dried tomato-olive, whole wheat, and pumpkin
3 cups cooked pumpkin ~ I roasted mine, but you could steam it too.
1 1/3 cup sugar ~ I used organic sugar from crystallized cane syrup
2/3 cup melted coconut oil
2 tsp vanilla
4 tbl freshly ground flax seed
12 tbl water
3 cups whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 scant tsp ground cloves
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease either two loaf pans (8.5 x 4.5 x 2.5) to some muffin tins.
Mix pumpkin, sugar, oil, vanilla in a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix the flax seed and water together and then add to the pumpkin mixture.
Stir in remaining ingredients. If you want, you can add in 1/2 coup of nuts or even 1/2 cup of raisins. I don't, but only because Cole can't have nuts at school and he hates raisins.
Divide batter evenly in to the two loaf pans, or one loaf pan or your muffin tin. I do half of each.
Bake about 15 minutes for shallow muffins, and about 40 minutes for the loaf. Watch carefully since it seems to depend on your pumpkin. Check for 'done-ness' with a toothpick or fork. Remove from pans as soon as possible and leave to cool on a rack. Delicious!
:: trying biscuits yet again with no success. I have never been able to make nice biscuits. These ones are very flat, but Cole discovered that they still taste great filled with honey. Do you have any tips?
:: Creating variations of a new favorite ~ peanut butter or soy butter, oats, ground flax, dried fruit, rice crisps or millet puffs rolled in to a healthy ball covered in coconut. Yum!
:: listening to the Vinyl Cafe, and dancing to Michael Franti
:: finishing the new chicken pen ~ although some little tricksters already figured out how to escape.

ReplyDeleteAre you working your dough too much for your biscuits? I make biscuits several times a week, but I don't measure, I just go by feel.
ReplyDeleteI use whole wheat and white flour-equal parts along with a little salt and 2 teaspoons baking powder, mix well.
add coconut oil[or butter] and mix until well crumbled,
add whole or buttermilk and lightly mix. Roll out gently and cut. Bake 425 degrees until golden.
The key to biscuits is not to over mix your dough or they will be tough.
If you would like I can measure in the morning and give you exact measurements, just let me know.
