Baking Disaster of the Week - Pumpkin Walnut muffins

Mini disaster of the week:

Casting my memory back to last year's yummy Quinoa Sweet Potato Muffins

I thought I would attempt this recipe with pumpkin instead of sweet potatoes and walnuts instead of dates. Although edible, it was more like bread than a muffin. In fact it makes for a plain, but tasty, bread. However, I feel it failed in its quest to be a muffin. However, it seems satisfied with being just bread, once it got over its muffin disappointment.

I suggest you experiment with adding a little more maple syrup if you want to try to make these work as muffins with pumpkin and walnut. Let me know how it works out for you!

Definately Not A Disaster: Gluten-Free Vanilla Cornbread

After a long time away for health reasons, I am recovered, back and looking forward to providing you with more of my baking disasters and experiments as I attempt to learn more about how to cook, bake and enjoy food :) I also hope my bumbling makes you feel less silly in the kitchen, if you, like me are just learning domestic skills.

Yes, I realize I already made a post for this site, she has so many delicious recipes, so here we are again! This Gluten-Free Vanilla Cornbread Recipeis super easy, moist and delicious, but I am pretty sure it would not go well with chili. It is more like a coffee cake, without being sickeningly sweet. I followed the authors suggestion of serving it with plain yogurt and fruit and it was a heavenly desert!
