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!

-
Image
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. ...

TWD - Crunchy Toffee Bars

Every time I bake with toffee chips, I think of Heath Ledger. You get it, right, Heath Toffee / Heath Ledger. I know I'm weird. But in honor of the Oscars this week, I thought a photo of Heath was appropriate. He was a great actor with a brilliant future ahead of him. Sad. Of course, my real photo choice of the week was going to be my personal favorite Hugh Jackman. Since he was the host of the Oscars, I think it only fitting that we post a photo of him, as well, right? After all, he IS the sexiest man alive. I knew he could act, and look pretty, but dang - he can sing and dance too! Okay girls - get your minds out of the gutter and back to the matter at hand. Truly, get serious! We are here to talk about crunchy toffee bars. Let me just say that I am glad I made these earlier in the weekend because I ended up having to spend some time with a nice young doctor at the ER due to a severe asthma attack! It's heck not being able to breathe folks. It has now turned into acute bronc...

Lenox Almond Biscotti

This week Gretchen of Canela & Comino chose Lenox Almond Biscotti for our recipe challenge. Oh Gretchen, thank you thank you, thank you! Biscotti has always been one of my favorite foods (especially around the holidays). Who knew someone of so little culinary experience could actually bake biscotti in their own kitchen? And the greatest thing of all was this was actually one of the easiest things I have baked AND I had all the ingredients I needed right in that pantry of mine. Or so I thought . . . My new shiny red KA mixer was gently purring like a kitten as it mixed my wonderful dough when I discovered - oops, completely out of almond flavoring. Since I was baking in old clothes and no makeup, hair tied back in a ponytail reminiscent of those kindergarten years, there was no way I was headed to the store for almond extract. Not to panic, though, I decided to just use vanilla and hope for the best. I did sprinkle some cinnamon on half of them right before putting into the oven to...
