Makes ~16 cookies45 minutes —Easy — The oatmeal raisin cookie is a true underdog; always outshined by the popular chocolate chip, but no less tasty. This recipe uses the same base as my Oatmeal Creme Pies, with all the same wonderful spices that make this cookie taste like Fall.
A low-effort-high-reward recipe. The addition of brown sugar makes these cookies a bit richer & promotes some extra browning on the bottom — and the recipe is mad simple! Cream the butter, zest and sugar, add the wet ingredients, the dry ingredients, and your dough is ready. Perfect for whipping up a quick treat for that party tonight that you forgot about.
I’ve made these in tons of variations; strawberry, blueberry, blackberry, strawberry-rhubarb, and brown sugar cinnamon. Do whatever makes you happy!
Makes 8 scones1 hour —Easy — This scone got it’s name because one night at around 9:30pm, Caroline & I were on the couch watching a movie, and she told me she was in the mood for scones. I got up and pulled up my traditional scone recipe but made some tweaks so I could…
Makes 12 buns3 hours —Intermediate — A zesty twist on a Swedish classic. “Kardemummabullar” is essentially big Swedish word that loosely translates to “cardamom buns.” They’re fairly common in Sweden, probably similarly so to our cinnamon rolls here in America. We’re taking a few detours from tradition here though. The first is in the dough….
Serves 8-1090 minutes —Intermediate — If you’ve never had olive oil cake, think of a lighter, crumblier pound cake, but still incredibly moist, and with crispy edges. The reason we didn’t call this an “Orange” Olive Oil Cake is simple — because it doesn’t have to be! We’ve also made this recipe with lemon and…
Makes 8 biscuits90 minutes —Intermediate — Biscuits are one of my favorite things to bake. The ingredients are minimal, it doesn’t take long, and you can serve them in a variety of ways; from savory to sweet. Now, buttermilk biscuits are, for any baker (vegan or not), a tough thing to master. Biscuit dough is…
Serves 8-101 hour —Easy — Banana bread is kind of an underdog. You don’t really think about it until you have some old bananas lying around, and because food waste sucks, we mush it into a batter and make cake out of it. The wonderful part about this recipe is that it’s easy — and…
Makes 6 buns3 hours —Intermediate — There’s not much to say about this one. I grew up eating cinnamon rolls out of the can, the kind you slap against the edge of your counter. I still love those, but I don’t often keep them around and sometimes the craving strikes, which means I needed a…
Makes 7-8 sandwich cookies90 minutes —Intermediate — I grew up on Little Debbie — nothing beats a Zebra Cake (not that I’d really know, I haven’t had one in probably ten years). But out of the entire catalogue of gas station impulse-buys, (yes even honey buns) there’s one that reigns supreme. The Oatmeal Creme Pie….
