Nikita Did you know Hot Cross Buns are an actual thing? If I was being honest, I thought it was just a kids song you play on the recorder. Hot 🎵 Cross 🎶 Buns.....you know the tune. The remind me of a sweetened dinner roll with spices and raisins. The recipe I used from Sally's Baking Addiction tops the buns with a simple orange glaze. A perfect complement to the nutmeg, allspice, and cinnamon in the bread. The white cross is made of white flour and water and bakes right into the bun. As it turns out, these sweet puppies are traditionally made for Good Friday. We are enjoying them to wrap up our loooooong month of April, and I needed to use up the bag of raisins in my pantry. Let's hope May brings us new beginnings! Enjoy. Amy Georgia Ya'll. I spent a good deal of time trying to decide what to make for this challenge. I didn't want to make the standard oatmeal raisin cookies (which are pretty delish). A friend even helped me hunt down a fun recipe. And then... I found this recipe for morning glory muffins. And oh my word are they delish. Holy moly.. I ate two.. Right out of the oven.. I've convinced myself that they are also very healthy for you since they are chock full of all kinds of goodness. The shredded carrots and apples make them super moist and if you have a decent egg substitute you could easily make a vegan version. The only substitute I made was ground chia for the flax. If you've never made these before now is a great time to try them.. No regrets. A little bit of effort for a whole lot of flavor Jen Amanda It's been a strange couple of months. Thankfully baking and cooking for yourself and/or your family is coming back in style.
Until next week, Nikita, Amy, Georgia, Jen and Amanda
