Freezer Friday: Pear Bread

Welcome to Freezer Friday! Due to the fact I have 4 little ones and homeschool, I need all the help I can find. Simply post a recipe that can be made, frozen and then later reheated(thawed, etc) and consumed. Make sure that you include freezing and reheating instructions in your post. Then come here and add you post (not your blog) into Mr. Linky.
Now for some disclaimers:
If it isn’t a recipe, I will delete it.
If it can’t be made ahead, I will delete it.
If you don’t have a family friendly site, I will delete it.
Now onto the food fun!

Pear Bread

I love this fall treat. You can also make this with a firm apple. Due to the fruit it stays extremely moist when frozen. Make sure you let is cool completely before freezing. Then just thaw and slice!

Ingredients
2 c Flour
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/4 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Nutmeg
1/4 c Oil
1 c Sugar
2 Eggs
1/4 c Applesauce
1/4 c Sour Cream
1 tsp Vanilla
1 c Fresh Pears, chopped
1 c Nuts, chopped (optional)

Process

Combine flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small bowl. In large mixer bowl, beat oil and sugar until well blended. Beat eggs, one at a time, then add applesauce, sour cream and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients and stir until moist. Stir in pears and nuts. Spoon into well-greased loaf pan. Bakes at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan 10-15 minutes. Cool the rest of the way on the rack. When cooled completely wrap tightly and freeze.

Freezer Friday: Sweet Corn Muffins

Welcome to Freezer Friday! Add your link to your Freezer Friday post (not just the blog). Make sure you include freezing, thawing and reheating instructions.

These are great muffins and you can freeze them! I have used vanilla yogurt when I am out of plain.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2/3 cup plain/vanilla low/non-fat yogurt
1/4 cup butter, melted
3 tbl milk
1 large egg, beaten

Process:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine flour, sugar, cornmeal, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl with a whisk. Combine yogurt, butter, milk and egg with a whisk in another bowl. Then add the wet to dry ingredients. Stir just until moist. Then put the mix into muffin tins. Bake for 20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Makes 12.

Freeze individually and just thaw in the frig!

World Bread Day


I was reading about today being World Bread Day and so here is my Beer Bread recipe. I look forward to the bread roundup being posted and seeing everyone else’s great breads! Even if you have never made bread before don’t worry, it is just a dump and mix recipe.

Ingredients:
3 cups AP Flour
1 1/2 tbl baking powder
1/2 tbl salt
1/4 cup sugar
1 can beer (not light)
3/4 stick of butter

Procedure:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a loaf pan. Dump flour, baking powder, salt and sugar into a mixing bowl. Then add the beer and stir it all together (it will foam up first). Then put it in the loaf. Melt the butter and pour it over the top. Put it in the oven for 1 hour. You know it is done when you can knock on it. Let cool slightly before cutting or it will fall apart.

Enjoy!
