Are you ready for holiday baking? What’s in your pantry?
Thank you for all the tips and recipes. Very helpful indeed. :)
You’re welcome!
I’m loving coconut flour for muffins lately. It is denser, for sure so I’ll combine with buckwheat flour.
Good idea!I can’t use a lot of coconut flour because we can’t eat eggs, but I love how healthy it is!
Please explain this.
I find that coconut flour does not work well unless you are able to bake with eggs. Without eggs, coconut flour results in very wet, dense baked goods.
This a great list, Kelly! I’ve gotta get my hands on some of those dye-free sprinkles—never even knew they existed! :)
They have them at Whole Foods!
I’m starting to stock up for my holiday baking, too! 4lb bags of sugar are on sale at Kroger this week for $1.25, so that is perfect time to stock up! Next up, chocolate chips…
That is a really good price on sugar! I will have to get some this week! Thanks for the tip!
You’ve gotta add buckwheat flour! It is the one and only, haha ;)
You’re right! I don’t use buckwheat much, but I need to start using it more!
Awesome comprehensive list!
Thanks, Marisa!
