Quick Breads

FOOD:

Quick Breads- photo: wbj
Tested some new Cooking Lounge recipes for an assortment of Quick Breads.

Banana Walnut Bread and Banana Bread with mix of whole wheat and unbleached flour and a mix of coconut oil, olive oil and butter


Flax Corn Muffins with flax seeds, flax seed meal and olive oil


Orange Zest Cranberry Bread with mix of whole wheat and unbleached flour and a mix of coconut oil, olive oil and butter

Rosemary Cornbread with creamed corn and olive oil


The consensus was all were pretty tasty with the Banana Walnut Bread getting raves but the Flax Corn Muffins were a bit dry. 


Note: Flax seeds absorb moisture. So, next test will increase the wet ingredients...the joys of testing.

Experiment. Play with ingredients in the kitchen.


Enjoy,
Cooking Lounge
