I have been baking a lot lately, but I am not sure why since this little toaster oven is all I have to work with. I can make 6 muffins or 12 cookies at a time.
The oven...well, let's just say it's seen is fair share of meatloaves. Wall ovens are a little pricey, however, so we are waiting a while on that. Our toaster oven sits quite nicely in the place of the 1850's microwave we took out when we moved in. We don't own a microwave, so it works out great.
I thought I would also share a great recipe for awesome muffins!
Honey Carrot Muffins
1 c. honey
1/2 c. butter
2 c. carrots (or sometimes I use the pulp of whatever I juiced that day...beets, carrots, apples)
1/2 c. pecan pieces
1/4 c. orange juice
1 t. vanilla
1 c. all purpose flour
1 c. whole wheat flour
2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. ground ginger (I use fresh grated ginger)
1/4 t. ground nutmeg (I use fresh grated nutmeg)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and honey. Beat in eggs and set aside. Combine carrots, nuts, orange juice, and vanilla. Combine all dry ingredients. Mix all together. Bake 35-40 minutes. Eat!!!
Sometimes I make them into cupcakes and frost them. I make the frosting with honey, cream cheese, and vanilla.

You should give Chris the gluten free recipe, she is pretty sure her and her youngest have celiac (sp?)
I just buy wheat free/dairy free flour at the natural food store and use it in place of whatever flour the recipe calls for.
I think a lot of people have an undiagnosed intolerance/allergy to gluten.
I am so impressed! Would never have thought about baking with a toaster oven. And now I am wishing I had some peanut butter cookies to go with my coffee this morning.
