Basic Pumpkin Spice Muffins

These are our go-to pumpkin spice muffins for winter, spring, summer, or fall. You can substitute all purpose flour for the whole wheat flour if you wish. I like the hardiness that the whole wheat flour brings. You can also add a cup of chocolate chips to this mixture if you feel like having something a little extra sweet or a cup of chopped nuts if you're feeling a little nutty.

Ingredients:

3 C Whole Wheat Flour

1 Tbs plus 2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice

2 tsp Baking Soda

1 1/2 tsp Salt

1 C White Sugar

1 C Brown Sugar

1 can (15 ounces) Pumpkin

4 large Eggs

1/2 cup Vegetable Oil

1/2 C Milk

Preheat oven to 400°. Grease 24 standard size or 12 jumbo muffin cups.

In a large bowl mixed together pumpkin, brown and white sugars, eggs, oil, and milk.

And another bowl mix together whole wheat flour, salt, baking soda, and pumpkin pie spice.

Mix dry ingredients into wet. Then scoop mixture into muffin tins.

Bake at 400° for 5 minutes then turn down oven to 350°. Bake additional 15 minutes for standard muffins or 25 minutes for jumbo muffins.

Spiderman Burger Buns

My kids want to try the Spider-Man Whopper from Burger King but our Burger King was always sold out of buns so we decided to make our own. We actually like ours a little better.

In a large bowl or a bowl of a stand mixer combine 1 cup of water and a tablespoon of yeast. Let sit while you gather the rest of your ingredients so the yeast can get activated. Add a quarter cup of sugar to the yeast mixture. Then add in flour, salt, and beet powder. Start to mix those together then add one egg and two tablespoons of melted butter. Mix until thoroughly combined and the dough forms a ball that is tacky. Cover dough and let rest an hour to an hour and a half until doubled in size.

Sourdough Discard Chocolate Cake

I've made sourdough bread for years but recently started branching out and trying different things with my discard. I had made apple cheddar muffins with sourdough discard probably about 15 years ago, sourdough waffles like the ones I had tried in Las Vegas, but never really added it to anything else outside of bread products. I tried Chocolate Chip Cookies a while back with good results so it seemed natural to try a chocolate cake recipe. I tend to make my baked goods less sweet so I adapted a recipe I found to suit our tastes and topped it with a lightly sweetened peanut butter drizzle. This cake was moist and perfectly sweet. Ingredients: 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 cup cocoa powder 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla extract 3/4 cup oil 1/2 cup sourdough discard 1/2 cup granulated sugar 3/4 cup brown sugar 1 cup milk of choice 1/2 cup hot, fresh and strong brewed coffee Preheat oven to 350° and grease a bundt pan, set aside. In a large ...
