Baking with Dorie - Grain and Seed Muffins

-




Tuesdays with Dorie brings us Grain and Seed Muffins.   We are muffin lovers.  Love them with breakfast or just as a snack.  These muffins presented me with a challenge because they called for oats and I am allergic.  So I substituted raisin bran cereal for the oats and it worked beautifully.  However, after putting these in the oven, I ate some leftover sunflower seeds and had a reaction.  So I will have to make these again and leave out those seeds!  I have never heard of a sunflower seed allergy but apparently…have you?  I also added some pecan chips to these because I love nuts in everything.  My husband who is a great taste tester for me says these are great!  Guess I will have to take his word for it.

They look great! And re: the reaction - maybe cross contamination? That's a tough one - but the good news is that you can make all sorts of substitutions here as long as you keep the base the same! Loved them too!

So das, that you can't eat sunflower seeds, and yes I heard of this kind of allergy.

They look very tasty

I am a Registered Dietitian, and yes I agree with Mardi it is probably a cross contamination issue. Sometimes nuts and seeds are dusted with stuff to keep them from sticking. I think these muffins would be forgiving and you could just leave out the oats. Have a healthy and happy new year.

Well, shucks on the allergies, Peggy, but I'm thinking Chan is just as happy to eat your share of these from the sounds of it. Love your photo, they look really good and I'm looking forward to making these.

Bummer with the food allergy part! I hope you get to enjoy them with some modifications the next time you bake them!

these look excellent! I'm sure you could swap out the sunflower seeds for something else like you did with the oats.

Your muffins look beautiful. Sorry, you had a reaction to them. My daughter used to have a reaction to all kinds of seeds - especially sesame seeds. Apparently seed allergies are different from nut allergies.

Ina Garten's Deviled Eggs!

This is appetizers week in our Ina Garten Fridays group!!  I chose her deviled eggs because we love deviled eggs and I never deviate from my old family recipe so I thought I would branch out and try something different.  I'm so glad I did!  I love these and I am sure my DH will love them tonight for dinner also. With just these ingredients, you can impress your guests or yourself, with some delicious deviled eggs. Ina's recipe says to hardboil six eggs.  (I only did five because that was all I had and mine turned out a little fluffier than they probably should have, but delicious just the same).  If you don't know how to boil eggs, please take a minute to learn.  If your eggs turn out green, you have overcooked them.  To make perfect boiled eggs every time, I put my eggs in cold water and put them on the stove, bring to a boil.  As soon as they begin boiling, I take them off the stove and cover and let them sit for 15 minutes.  At this point, they are perfe

TWD - Steph’s Bakewell Tart

What is a Bakewell Tart, you might ask.  Apparently it all began in Derbyshire, England.  I had no idea it was popular with  The Great British Baking Show.   This classic  combines a buttery shortcrust pastry with a filling of raspberry jam, (or in my case blackberry jam), topped with an almond spongecake and almond slices. I think there are probably many different versions of the Bakewell. On my first attempt, my crust totally fell apart in the oven.  At that point, I went to plan b and made four mini tarts.  These worked perfectly for us.  I have a very thin layer of the jam and wish I had used a bit more.  We enjoyed this and it was a breeze to put together.   Check out Tuesdayswithdorie.wordpress.com for others.

TWD - Brown Sugar Bundt Cake

It is my turn to host! Almost three years ago I had no idea what a food blog was, much less that there were ladies and gentlemen all across the world baking and writing about such things, and sharing and growing with each other over recipes.  I'm not a chef or a great baker, but I do love to cook for my family so I decided to join in.  Since we are just two days past Mother's Day, I want to thank my sweet mother (who passed away three years ago) for sharing her love of cooking with me. My first Dorie recipe was a fruit galette.  I remember still how delicious it was.  I even remember the first comment I received on my blog.  It was like an award to me!  I still love reading all your comments, so thank you to those of you who regularly stop by to leave encouragement and stop for a second to say hello. Now about Dorie.  I love the way Dorie explains her recipes step by step.  While some of the recipes in her book "appear" complicated, I think any novice could fol
