I'm planning to make a veggie loaf for tonight's dinner.
This is perfect...I was looking for something to do with pancake mix other than make pancakes.today I took a favourite recipe and made it as muffins.... so basically a pancake mix, that athleticavocado.com turned into Baked Lemony Pancake Bars and which I turned into Baked Lemony Pancake Muffins... the funny thing is that my honey isn't very fond of the Bars and that is why I made them in muffin form, added a few walnuts and he loved them!! lol

That came at a great time! My son bought pancake mix, but rarely uses it, the last thing I found bugs in was his old box of pancake mix-so I want this one gone soon!today I took a favourite recipe and made it as muffins.... so basically a pancake mix, that athleticavocado.com turned into Baked Lemony Pancake Bars and which I turned into Baked Lemony Pancake Muffins... the funny thing is that my honey isn't very fond of the Bars and that is why I made them in muffin form, added a few walnuts and he loved them!! lol

That's quite interesting! I knew to add vital wheat gluten to whole grain flour, but never heard of adding tahini! I still have half a jar, because I really don't like it, but I think it would add a good taste to bread.I have a thread around here with bread making difficulties...making a truly whole grain (risen) bread. I finally figured out that the "whole grain" breads I have bought in the past weren't truly "wholegrain" for a reason. Often gluten or white flour was added. So I started making whole grains with 3/4 whole wheat flour and 1/4 white flour to boost the gluten/protein content. They've been doing well. Without the extra gluten/protein, the breads are often too dense and don't rise well.
So on a whim, I decided to nix the white flour and try Tahini instead for extra protein content. To my surprise, the bread came out wonderfully - risen, not too dense, and fluffy. Even though I wrote down the proportions of ingredients, I did it after mixing, and I was a little tipsy...so I have to try again to make sure - but I am encouraged that I can do it now without using white flour at all, and instead a different whole food source for an over-all product that is more nutritious.
