I am working on the paperwork today to get my home kitchen certified!! a new law was passed earlier this year that allows certain types of foods to be made and sold from a certified home kitchen! thank goodness baking mixes and muffins were included!
I am getting really excited about being able to share my baking mix; gluten free, grain free, nut free, with you. as well as recipes that work well with my mixes. so far, I have an amazing coconut muffin with raspberry crème, and a banana muffin that is super yummy. I am working out the basic vanilla and chocolate versions to be able to bake cupcakes!
I will keep you informed with my progress!!

creating this business is such a great lesson for me to really keep things simple. with that in mind, I will be making and selling just
ONE baking mix to start with. one that anyone who eats gluten free, grain free, nut free, paleo friendly, dairy free.... can enjoy.
it is also the highest in protein, lowest in carbs and is without white sugar. can it really be??? yes! yes! yes!.
the big heart bak...ing company proudly presents it's first baking mix.
our basic baking mix for all to enjoy.
one mix will make approx. 15 regular size cupcakes.
$5.00 or 2 for $9.
will be bringing the mixes to the bay area the first week in april. please let me know how many you would like.
in light of keeping life simple,

yesterday's experiments...
good morning.
the night before last I had this sudden urge to experiment with only coconut flour.
this meant avoiding the almond flour so that folks with nut allergies could enjoy our
baking mixes. I found a few recipes. being one who does not follow the rules well...
revised two recipes; one for brownies and one for banana muffins. holy cow!!
they turned out better than I could have ever imagined.
I have been a big fan of almond flour but keep finding that my baking is dense.
I know this is a typical almond flour reaction. it bakes up well and is tasty... but dense.
when only using coconut flour you need a lot more moisture. more eggs, more liquid.
more than I ever use with almond but.... the outcome is light, delicious, protein packed,
carb reduced, paleo happy, gluten free, grain free, nut free, white sugar free and yummy.
to the brownie recipe I added semi sweet chocolate chips, this turned an everyday
brownie into this dark, rich, intensely chocolate, decadent delight!
I winged the banana muffin recipe and created the best muffins ever.
this recipe is going to be my new mix recipe. thinking that Friday night might have been a fluke...
I baked again this afternoon my most favorite combination; an almond coconut macaroon
muffin. they are cooling on the kitchen counter right now, but they smell divine!!
maybe this wasn't a fluke,
maybe I actually have engineered a spot on coconut flour baking mix,
maybe this will be my prized mix,
maybe this is the one!?
try a mix, bake it up and tell me what you think!!

today's experiment...
I have been feeling like a chemist in my kitchen!! As I am fine tuning my gluten free, grain free baking mix... I have been experimenting with different muffin recipes. I have just about finalized
the master recipe for this baking mix. This means you will be able to make all sorts of variations
with just one recipe!!
Today I tried a pear, applesauce, lemon with candied ginger muffin.
Not enough liquid, not enough lemon, pear was too mild, but the ginger rocked!!
With these results, my equation for the master recipe is just about there. So far, these are the ones
that have worked really well-
almond macaroon with raspberry jam.
chocolate espresso with semi sweet chocolate chips.
carrot, raisin orange, dairy free!
applesauce, raisin cinnamon, dairy free!
my goal is to launch the baking mix the end of march!!
