Last thing you baked?

I've been back less than a week and already the family is asking me for more bread! Not sure if I have time to do it as dh wants to head out camping this afternoon, but I'm going to try and make some today if I can.

I baked Pizza!

Made pumpkin cookies:)

• 1.5 cup plus 4 tablespoons whole-wheat pastry flour* I used just regular Whole Wheat flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar* I'm going to try it next time with Baking Splenda
• 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup nonfat buttermilk, (see Tip)
• 1/4 cup lightly scooped light brown sugar* I didn't pack it at all
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 4 tablespoons UNSWEETENED APPLESAUCE
• 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup hot strong black coffee
• Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat 2 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray. Line the pan with a circle of wax paper.
2. Whisk flour, granulated sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Add buttermilk, brown sugar, egg, oil and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add hot coffee and beat to blend. (The batter will be quite thin.) Divide the batter into the prepared pans.
3. Bake the cake until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 27 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes; remove from the pan, peel off the wax paper and let cool completely. Dust the top with confectioners’ sugar before slicing.

I took 1 pk of sugar free vanilla instant pudding and mix a bit of reduced fat cool whip (which I found in a triffel recipe for diabetics) and put a small amount between the layers and added blueberries and raspberries on top of that layer.

NOTE: I put the icing sugar on too soon and it kinda melted. I was in a hurrey ;)

Well I finally got around to making this harbie, with a few more modifications. My fiance is diabetic and my Mom can't have dairy, so I used soy milk instead of buttermilk - hopefully it's thick enough. I also don't have two 9-inch pans, so bunt cake it is :) And then I'll just use that as an icing rather than a filling. I will report back (perhaps with a picture) when it's all done).:)

Made oatmeal coconut cookies yesterday. Turned out pretty well!

That cake looks delicious, harbie!

Not nearly as pretty as harbie's for many reasons, but it was a big success, went over well. :)

Mmmm.... the house smells so nice.

I made two dozen 'cheater' cinnamon rolls.
I used Pillsbury crescent dough - take out the dough carefully, unroll it on a floured counter and press the seams together, longest side facing you. Spread butter over, then sprinkle brown sugar, some cinnamon, and I added crushed pieces of almonds. Roll carefully, pinching any of the perforations closed which might open. Seal with a bit of water at the end. Cut in 12, put in greased muffin tins.

The first set I baked were a bit overdone, but still yummy. I had the timer on for 10 minutes at 365 degrees, but didn't run to the oven when the timer went off.
Second batch, I took them out at 10 minutes, they were lighter - bottoms still browned a fair bit, but more squooshy.
When each tin came out of the oven, I brushed the tops with melted butter.

They are good, and great for a lazy-day baker!

Sorry, no pic - my sweet son must have it to take pics of cars again; gah!

Well technically I haven't baked this yet. LOL. Waiting for it to be "cheap" time for the hydro meter ;)...but later this evening I will be making Hawaiian pizza roll-ups for the kids for lunch tomorrow. Never made these before; hope they turn out ok. But my kids are sandwich snobs so a girl has got to be creative. ;)

update: The kids had them in their school lunches the next day at school and both came home begging for me to make more. I'd say that counts as a success! :)

this morning my girls helped me make a loaf of cinnamon bread. It was a chilly wet morning and there's something warming about the smell of cinnamon wafting from the oven.

hehe. It's already half gone. ;)

Cupcakes!!!!

Gf vanilla :)

Carrot with cream cheese frosting:)

Red Velvet:)

All for the freezer:)

Everyone has been wanting something sweet through the week...so I thought this woukd do:)

Ps . Also made a red velvet layer cake:)

A batch of raisin oat granola bars.

A batch of banana chocolate granola bars.

A batch of rice krispies squares.

A second batch of rice krispies squares with chocolate chips.

LOL. Lots of Robin Hood oats... and...lots of rice krispies that I bought for the gas card promo.

I gotta figure out what else to make with all those flipping rice krispies and oats. :tongue:

I made an apple pie.

I literally just took some rolls outta the oven. This is the recipe : http://www.food.com/recipe/food-proc...h-bread-114709

I brushed them with butter I melted with rosemary and a pinch of garlic powder :P I am not a baker nor do I play one on TV but these are so freakin' good and easy ;)

Here is a quick pic with my cell... before I eat them all :P

harbie, those look great!

I took the easy way out, and made two dozen cheese-herb biscuits to go with soup for supper.

Our grandson wanted chocolate muffins, so that's what I made for him.
We don't eat any baked goods, so I only bake for him...usually his pumpkin muffins..:)
Ladies, your efforts look absolutely wonderful!!!!!
