Solar-Baked Banana Bread by Salad Foodie

Too hot to bake nut breads? Get the solar cooker out and keep your cool! Just about anything you bake in the conventional oven has a complimentary solar-cooking method. This is my best banana bread recipe and when it’s cooler this fall I’ll post the same recipe baked conventionally. But here using only El Sol for the cooking energy,…

Cinnamon-Raisin Graham Bread (for bread machine dough cycle or conventional yeast bread method) by Salad Foodie

This is baked whole grain bread at its best, and amply satisfies my yen for cinnamon raisin bread! The grain of the loaf is fine and the taste lightly sweet. Savor a slice of the flavorful bread alone, or add a smear of cream cheese or butter. Use as…

Lemon Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins by Marg Ruttan

I seem to be in a muffin making mode these days. However, I'm working at creating a number of new low glycemic index recipes so that's probably the main reason I'm into muffins right now. After a few weeks I'll be on to cookies or some other item. In the meantime, this recipe, which I adapted from my first cookbook, Traditions of Home…

Sweet Irish Soda Bread by Carolinaheartstrings

I love bread. My daughter loves bread. The Husband loves bread. Make it a sweet bread and we are head over heels! In honor of my children and The Husband’s Irish “roots” I whipped up an Irish soda bread that I decided to turn into a bit of a sweet treat. It turned out great. This bread would be wonderful with a cup of coffee for…

Honey Buttermilk Bread by Just Cookin'

I got this recipe from a lady on Facebook. It's the best bread I've ever tasted and the recipe is right on. There's just enough honey to make it lightly sweet but not too. One of my friends "stole" half a loaf because he liked it so much.

Healthy Banana-Carrot Oat Nut Muffins by Jeani Coleman

I never like to throw away bananas, so with two very ripe bananas I adapted this recipe. They were moist and sweet and so easy to make!

Jo Rooney's Buttermilk Biscuits (from NYT) by Kelly Christensen

From NYT Recipes - Jo Rooney's Buttermilk Biscuits Biscuits are easy to make, as long as you follow two basic rules: don’t overwork the dough, and have the oven quite hot. This recipe comes from an early mentor of mine, Mrs. Jo Rooney, a wonderful home cook I met years ago in Bakersfield, Calif. Rather than double the recipe, she…

Banana Bread with Streusel Nut Topping by Salad Foodie

My all-time favorite banana bread recipe was unseated when I came across this scrumptious streusel-topped version. A tastier bonus for a bit more effort!

White Bread by BearNakedBaker

We were given 1.25# of bread dough in International Breads class (after preparing a big batch) And then told to create something from it..... Here is my end result.

Banana Oatmeal Pecan Bread by Salad Foodie

Here's a welcome variation on banana bread featuring much less sweetener than traditional recipes, and a double dose of whole grains (whole wheat and oats). The buttery flavor of pecans is an interesting departure too, but if they're not in the budget, substitute walnuts.

Zesty Zucchini Twist by Robyn Savoie

Garden vegetables combine with wheat and oats for nutritious, moist and delicious bread.

Leftover Oatmeal Raisin Nut Muffins by Salad Foodie

Leftover cooked oatmeal joins basic quickbread ingredients to make a delicious batch of muffins. Rather than wasting excess cooked oatmeal, freeze in measured batches for using up in baked goods such as this recipe. It's surprising what a win/win this can turn out to be.

Honey Walnut Bran Muffins by Salad Foodie

I concocted this recipe from ingredients I like a lot. How can you go wrong with wheat bran, buttermilk, walnuts and honey? Half of the walnuts are reserved, get sprinkled on top of the muffin batter, and the subsequent toasting deepens their flavor considerably. I use 100% whole wheat pastry flour for muffins and cookies for the…
