    baking-day-part-1

    Today I spent some time in the kitchen. Most of the afternoon, really.

    I’ve been creating some space in the freezer this week…only to fill it back up with today’s baked goodies!

    Overall I made and mostly froze (because some had to be consumed for quality control purposes!!!)…

    cinnamon-rolls

    Because what a shame to not send these through quality control!!! They passed the mom, little boy and big boy test! All approved!

    • 8 mini loaves Pumpkin Coconut Bread (recipe below)
    • 1 large loaf Pumpkin Coconut Bread
    • 12 regular size Cinnamon Butternut Squash Muffins
    • 24 mini Cinnamon Butternut Squash Muffins
    • 12 Oatmeal Raisin cookies (using dough I had in the freezer)
    • 36 Cinnamon Rolls (I will share the recipe next week…including a dairy-free version!)

      Yummy!!! I baked a homemade apple crisp using apples I purchased for just .68 cents a pound this week! It cost me less than a dollar to make and it made 5 decent sized servings. 🙂 You have taught me well! LOL

      Oh, that baking day sounds like so much fun! If I’d known about it, had twitter, and hadn’t had other stuff going on today it would’ve been fun to join it 🙂

      The baking day sounds like that would be really fun. Your pumpkin coconut bread sounds delicious! I have never tried a combination like that so I am interested now in making it this weekend!

      This recipe looks fantastic. Is there any way around the wheat flour? Any substitutions…?

        @Beth,

        Meaning you don’t want to use it? You could just use all white flour. I typically use half white/half wheat for most of my baking.

      Yummy! Do please share the dairy-free version of the cinnamon rolls – They look delish and I’d love to make them and have my dairy-allergic little guy be able to enjoy them as well!

      Thanks for the reply. I have never baked with wheat flour before so I did not know if you would substitute the same amount of white flour or not. I can’t wait to try this over the weekend.

      How do you freeze (and thaw) your baked goods? I have never tried before and was wondering do they come out soggy once defrosted?

        @Chelle W.,

        I freeze them in freezer plastic baggies. I thaw them on the counter if I remember in time, or if not, they thaw quickly and easily in the microwave. I haven’t found that the taste or texture is altered too much!

      Can I sub the flour for a gluten free option? I have a few GF coworkers and I would love to bring this in to share. I am not very familiar with GF cooking, but maybe coconut or almond flour? If anyone can chime in, that’d be awesome.
