Pumpkin Bread

Posted by Caryn  

I translated this to make 2 loaves and used one cup each of brown sugar and white sugar, instead of 2 2/3 cups - I also subbed some white-whole-wheat for 1 cup of regular flour, and used vegetable oil instead of shortening. Instead of putting... — wax lion Nov 12, 2009

Saltine Candy / Toffee

Posted by NYAmy  

I've made this twice now using 1/2 cup each of butter & brown sugar, and boiling the mixture for three minutes - first with 24 crackers & and then with 35 crackers, and of course less chocolate (and no nuts as I was out). I actually liked the... — wax lion Jul 23, 2009

Vanilla Pastry Cream (low Fat)

Posted by Nolita_Food  

I needed a bit more than this recipe produced, so I used 1.5 times as much milk, sugar, and cornstarch, and 2 medium eggs & one med. egg yolk (and vanilla extract at the end - I am sure a vanilla bean would have made this even yummier!) It worked... — wax lion Jul 5, 2009

Why-I-Joined-Zaar Carrot Cake

Posted by Lennie  

An excellent cake, though I made some amendments out of choice and some out of necessity! I used half oil and half applesauce, half brown sugar & half white, a little fresh nutmeg, partially subbed white whole-wheat flour, and omitted the nuts &... — wax lion Mar 22, 2009

Chunky Apple Muffins

Posted by Geema  

mmm - these are delicious. I blenderized 1 cup of oatmeal with a couple tablespoons of flax which made approx. 3/4 C rough flour - made up the rest with AP flour. I used the last of the apples we picked this fall - quite wizened but still... — wax lion Jan 30, 2009

Hot Dog/Hamburger Buns/Rolls/Cinnamon Buns Dough Cycle A.b.m.

Posted by Dorel  

another happy review - I used approx. 2 Tbl. sugar, 3 Tbl. powdered milk and a little more than 1 1/4 C water, but I had also added about 2 Tbl. potato flour & subbed a cup of whole-wheat flour, so I think the dough needed additional liquid.... — wax lion Jan 27, 2009

Ann's Crunchy Peanut Brittle

Posted by Miss Annie  

Thank you for this recipe - it was my second attempt at peanut brittle and extremely successful! I did have to cook it for about 10 minutes to reach a "yellow" color but I think that is due to my old and inconsistent stove. I used about 1 2/3... — wax lion Dec 24, 2008

Low-Fat Banana Bread

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by SJG3483  

I thought this receipe sounded great - but got partially through mixing it and didn't have applesauce! I ended up using about 3T butter and 2 T vanilla low-fat yogurt, and added nutmeg/cinnamon. I also reduced sugar to 2/3 C and used half brown,... — wax lion Sep 7, 2008

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins

Posted by NYAmy  

I subbed 3/4 C WW flour for some of the AP flour, and added a handfull of oatmeal - the 12 normal-sized muffins were a little dense (likely due to these changes) so next time I will increase the baking powder - I will definitely make these again.... — wax lion Sep 1, 2008

Excellent carrot cake - I used 1 cup white sugar and 1/2 cup brown (and I think it is sweet enough!), and 3/4 cup oil plus 1/2 cup applesauce. I also soaked some raisins in boiling water for a few minutes, and added some nutmeg and vanilla as... — wax lion Jul 17, 2008

Banana Gingerbread

Where is the ginger? I added 1 1/2 teaspoons of powdered ginger, substituted 1/3 cup oil for the butter, and more molasses for the honey. I also used one cup each of unbleached and whole wheat flour, adding 2 teaspoons baking powder & about 1/2... — wax lion Feb 16, 2008

Peanut Butter Bars

Posted by foxysnana  

I used 1/3 cup butter and a generous half-cup peanut butter, and whirled my oats though the blender because they were not the quick-cooking type. These bars are delicious and I will definitely make again - the cookie part on its own is yummy but... — wax lion Feb 9, 2008

Pumpkin Spice Bread

Posted by jmelyn  

This was great - I used a 4oz cup of applesauce and about 1/3 c oil, and reduced the sugar to just over 2 cups (partially brown sugar) and I thought it was still a bit sweeter than necessary - also subbed about half of the flour for... — wax lion Nov 1, 2007

Drop Soft Sugar Cookies

Chewy Oatmeal Spice Bars

great recipe - I left out the white sugar, added a couple of tablespoons of honey, used unsweetened applesauce and a combination of raisins and chopped dried apples, and it was very good - I think with the 1/2 c sugar it would have been too sweet!... — wax lion Mar 26, 2007
