Chef Sandy here... today we are doing some baking. Because we are swamped with zoo-kee-knee... sigh.
We found a recipe without any eggs... we use apple sauce instead... although you could use smashed bananas too... We doubled the recipe because it only takes 1 cup of shredded zoo-kee-knee... sheesh... we have way more than that!
First... we mix up the dry ingredients... flour, baking powder, baking soda and spices...
Then... we mix up the wet ingredients which includes the sugar... and oil and apple sauce and other stuff...
We are using store bought apple sauce but soon... it will be apple season and we can make our own!
As for spices... it calls for cinnamon, ground nutmeg and cardamom... we have NEVER used cardamom in any recipe ever... but... last year Gramma cleared out some of her spices and gave them to Mama and... voila... one of them was cardamom!
This is a vintage jar I think... and yes, the cardamom still smells like... cardamom...
We also need some vanilla extract...
Then... you mix the dry into the wet... stir well, but not too much... and then fold in the zoo-kee-knee... pour into baking pans (preferably loaf pans) and...
... wait patiently...
This one was done faster cause it's thinner...
We have to wait until it cools before we can do a taste test...
And then the loaf pan one came out... while they cool... does anyone(s) want to volunteer as taste testers??
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMe. Love the vintage jar of spice. Apples aren't ready yet? It's almost October. Our apples have come and gone.
ReplyDeleteNice job using the zoo-kee-knee.
ReplyDeleteJerry says he can't give any official comments on this post until he has had a taste test....well several taste tests, you know, just to be absolutely sure.
