I don’t use measurements so it’s hard to say but basically I subbed pumpkin and applesauce for the egg and oil in pancake mix, added actual chai tea with the milk, as well as pumpkin pie spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger), plus cardamom and more ginger.

Zucchini Bread
A true family favorite growing up was zucchini bread, which for those unfamiliar is a sweet bread like banana bread or a pumpkin or apple bread (yes even though it has veggies!). We would make it with zucchini straight out of our backyard garden. While I don’t have a backyard garden full of zucc’s, I…

Pumpkin Donuts

Black & White Baking
Utilizing the miraculous gluten-free mixes below, easy egg substitutes, and a wonderful oven, I created flawless black and white (chocolate and vanilla) cupcakes, mini-mini cupcakes, and sugar cookies.

Shoutout to _Underscores_ Baked Goods
A fellow Harvard alumna has recently started Underscores Baked Goods. You can buy her products ready made or the dough ready for you to bake. Unfortunately, it’s only available in the greater Massachusetts area right now. I tried the scone and cookie dough and it is delicious — bakes to a perfect texture hard to…
