No Yeast Cheesy Biscuits with Fresh Herbs

October 15, 2017 by Deborah

We are so excited to be working on some kid’s baking recipes along with our friends from Operation Food Search here in St. Louis.  This week we had a bounty of fresh herbs donated from a local community garden and the kids loved these fantastic biscuits that are loosely based on a recipe from King Arthur’s Flourish blog.  Talk about easy, with only three real ingredients in the original recipe: flour, cheese and milk! In keeping with our passion for whole grains we did swap in some great sprouted whole wheat flour, and of course some of the fresh herbs from the garden, but feel free to use 2 cups of any self-rising flour you have on hand or make your own by mixing 2 cups less 2 tablespoons regular or white whole wheat flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did…

Pumpkin Oat Bread

November 4, 2015 by Deborah

IMG_8758Here’s the breakfast bread our supporters are eating this month.  Each loaf is filled with house made apple butter, roasted pumpkin, and sprouted wheat and oats.  These demi-loaves are moist with just enough sweetness for breakfast or a late night snack. They are filled with sprouted whole grain goodness so they are good for you, and around here proceeds from all sales pay for Thanksgiving dinner at our local drop in center. What could be more delicious than that?  Try making a batch for the hungry kids in your house or neighborhood!…

Banana Bread for Kids

Hum dum de dum, hum de dum dum
I’m so rumbly in my tumbly
Time to munch an early luncheon
Time for something sweet -Winnie the Pooh

There is nothing like banana bread for a kid with a rumbly tummy and an urge for something sweet. That’s important, because we all know it’s harder for kids to learn when they are distracted by hunger. We think this is the absolute best banana bread you can make.  It has all the healthy stuff: whole grain wheat and oat flour, farm fresh eggs, bananas, nuts and apple butter for that touch of something sweet.  No white flour.  No white sugar.  And to keep things easy, no tricky yeast!  Best of all, it makes lots of little loaves instead of one big one. Perfect for bake sales, sharing and after school snacks.  But also perfect for an early luncheon at the kitchen table with a cup of frothy coffee!  We are baking it in bulk for our Flour Baskets and Bake Sale this week, whipping up a few batches with our young friends at the neighborhood drop in center for homeless youth, and trying to save a few loaves for the after school snack plates of our kids at home too.  Each loaf reminds us of one of the many kids we care about, and our desire to keep them healthy, happy and full of good things to eat.  We hope the kids in your life love it too!
