Last thing you baked?

[Leslie Simpson]

I've baked donuts 8 or 9 times in the last weeks after Christmas. My husband gave me a donut maker, I chose it myself, but he bought it. Even though I already knew about the gift, but I was damn pleased to receive it. I chose the VonShef 12 Mini Donut Electric Maker, found its description here and it was immediately love at first sight.

This morning i broke down and baked Blueberry Orange Muffins and Baked Apples. Pictures follow.

Here is the Zucchini Cake recipe. You dont have to peel the zucchini but i do because to me the green peel looks like mold and the kids would never eat the muffins. Therefore i peel.

ZUCCHINI CAKE

I cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 1/2 cups flour
2 tsps baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1 cup oil (i use Mazola)
1 tbsp vanilla extract
3 eggs
2 cups grated zucchini
1 cup raisins (optional)
1 cups chopped nuts (optional)
2 tbsps grated orange rind

The baked apples taste exactly like apple pie with cinnamon but without the crust. Very good on a cold stormy day!

Mmmmm, I missed seeing those baked apples when you posted them @SnowFlakey , mouth watering for sure.
I'm shoving these 3 pizzas in the oven soon. I cheated using 2 balls of Sobeys pre-made pizza dough, but all the other work was mine. Fighting with my rolling pin to make the circles stay!! Grating cheese, dicing veg....oh the humanity!!
I'll enjoy mine watching the Puppy Bowl....the guys will have theirs later probably.
Happy SuperBowl Sunday everyone!!

Orange loaf cake

Made Peanut Butter Cookies yesterday to use up some Peanut Butter Mom bought but does not like. They are super easy, no flour but use Oats instead.

It is funny, I love these cookies but rarely think to make them and they are so easy, it is done in a mixer and hardest part is mixing the peanut butter with sugar until fluffy and they only take 8 minutes to bake. I should start making them more often.
