Baker's Delight

Having tasted some delicious food recently and made a Goal for 2010 of baking bread, I started with some simple inspiration. Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Bread was my first loaf for the new year! This is James' favorite version and I'm excited for him to come home and eat this tonight!

Since we are gearing up for moving again in a couple weeks, I'm cleaning out the freezer. As you all know, each January I clean my freezer of old bananas and bake a dozen loaves. Well, this year, I have you know, I only made the two! I did make changes to the recipe, I used natural peanut butter, oat flour, and whole wheat flour, in addition to the other ingredients!~




I found a few new recipes to be inspired in the coming weeks!

Pumpkin Cookies (didn't get to make in Autumn)
Orange Cranberry Biscotti (cut very thinly)
Lemon-Butter Cookies (I am disappointed in this picture because I picked up MixingBowl's Mag at Walmart and that pic is amazing!)
Brown Butter-Carrot Cupcakes (a healthy change for my Cupcake Princess!)

Maizie and I made cut-outs this morning too! Since we are portion-controlling, this weekend we purchased some adorable and small cookie cutters! Tea Pots, Car, and the Canadian Maple Leaf! Maizie loves the frosting...and Mommy likes the chocolate & almonds!
