So I decided I would finish up the rest of my freezer baking day recipes so I can move onto something else.  Since I decided to only post one recipe every Thursday it was really dragging out and I just want to get this list completed.

Ultimate Chocolate Brownie Muffins – I got the original recipe here

Here are my adaptations

  • 3/4 cup good quality baking cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (heaping)
  • 3/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup boiling water
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1 c. Turbinado
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/3 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  1. Set oven to 350°F.
  2. Lightly grease muffin pan
  3. In a medium bowl combine cocoa and baking powder; mix to combine.
  4. Add in boiling water; mix well with a wooden spoon to combine.
  5. Add in the melted coconut oil and vanilla; mix well.
  6. Add in the turbinado, mix well with a wooden spoon.
  7. Stir in eggs with a wooden spoon; mix until combined.
  8. Mix the flour with salt; add in the chocolate mixture; mix well to combine (batter will be a bit on the thin side).
  9. Using an ice cream scoop fill each of the muffin tins almost to the top.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until muffins are done, don’t over bake! (might take a little longer, depending on how full the muffin tins are with the batter).

These were delicious!  Even with less sugar, whole wheat and no added chocolate chips my family loved them.  I barely managed to get a few of these into the freezer for another day.

  7. Drop on greased cookie sheet about 1-2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.

These turned out really good.  Not super sweet but full of healthy ingredients.  :)

Banana Bread – I used this recipe

Here are my adaptations

  • 3 or 4 ripe bananas, smashed
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 3/4 cup turbinado
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

No need for a mixer for this recipe. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). With a wooden spoon, mix butter into the mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix in. Add the flour last, mix. Pour mixture into a buttered 4×8 inch loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour. Cool on a rack. Remove from pan and slice to serve.

We have not eaten the Banana Bread yet, it is still wrapped up in the freezer.  However I have made it before and we love it.  A nice lightly sweet bread.
