No, I don’t have a particular recipe in mind yet! Although I’ve made plenty of quick breads on the past, so I can roughly guess at the texture.

Any of those oils would work. I bake with olive oil all the time actually.

Yes if using coconut oil, definitely melt first. Maybe add a smidge more pumpkin if you have extra, or water, or applesauce if you normally use butter since butter has a small amount of water in it. But small difference in pumpkin bread.

Thank you! Do you have a go to recipe? We prefer less sweet usually, I think we have similar tastes.

@Bracken_Joy this is my go to. I think I’ve edited this enough to make sense to someone other than me 
Makes 2 loaves
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup maple syrup (could do all sugar instead of honey and syrup, maybe 3/4 cup sugar and then an extra egg or a bit more pumpkin)
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter or other fat
- 1/2 cup applesauce (or just more pumpkin)
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups “pumpkin” puree (butternut, buttercup, and other winter squash often have more flavor than pie pumpkins)
- 1 tbsp vanilla (I usually leave this out)
Dry Stuff
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ginger
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg (if old, use 1/2 tsp)
- 1/4 tsp cloves
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
Add-ins
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- Preheat to 325
- Mix wet stuff and then add dry stuff in
- Add dry to wet, whisk just until fully wet. Fold or whisk in chocolate chips.
- Check with a toothpick or other cake tester after 1 hour for loaves, 30 minutes for muffins.

You’re welcome, hope it helps 
Ok so my tiny condo is driving me nuts because there is just not enough space for the 3 of us and pup to be here all day every day. We have a tiny porch (48”x72” roughly) and I want to put one of those 1 person chair swings on it. I wanted to get one that hangs from the ceiling but there’s nothing to anchor it into so I need it to have its own stand. Anyone got recommendations? My reward for making it through today is shopping for this and some plant holders to hang my planters from the railing and free up floor space

Does anyone know how to clean an oven door? The self cleaning I did yesterday cleaned the oven but the glass part of the door is still gross. I actually expected that, but hoped for better. I have cleaned it so many times, with different things and it’s still yucky. I’m going to say it’s bacon grease from baking it every couple of months. When you look at it, it looks like grease, but it does NOT scrape off completely. I’ve used with very little luck: windex, oven cleaner, other “grease remover” spray cleaner, magic eraser, and I have actually used a razor blade scraper which worked the best but still didn’t get it all off, and also took about forever. Ugh. Any ideas?
ETA: I have nothing but time right now, so scraping it would actually give me something to do. That’s really not the point though, lol.

Normally I’d say alcohol, but if you have any it should probably be reserved for sterilizing. Maybe live with it until this pandemic is at least improved and then alcohol?

I’ve lived with it for a long time, I can live with it until I can get alcohol. I have cleaned it, just not very well, you know? Do you know what alcohol does special to lift baked on grease?

This lady I follow on IG unscrewed the screws at the top of her oven door and was able to clean both sides of her glass that way and it made a huge difference. I didn’t realize you could do that. Might be worth some googling to see if you can do the same with yours

I just don’t clean my oven door and call it a patina 
If barkeepers friend is safe to use on that kind of material it might work. That’s what I use to get stuck on grease off my stainless pots

I use this site on mobile only. I’m trying to figure out how to stop notifications going to my email?

Ooh, do you have a link? Because my oven door has a liquid stain on the inside of both panes of glass. Can’t get at it from inside the oven or outside the oven and it just looks bad.
It was an IG story so it’s probably gone plus she didn’t really show it, more just like “see those screws? I’m gonna take them out and clean this!” Then the next story was the after

Individual threads have “Watching” which emails you or “tracking” which will just give you the bubble number of unread replies. The watching/tracking thing is below the last comment. Not sure if there’s something at the user level.

Oh, good to know! I’m sure I can also find a manual for the oven…I’ll add it to my “it’s the weekend and I’m bored out of my mind” to-do list!

I’ve never seen anything of organic origin stay stuck on after an over night soak in this stuff.
But I’m also the guy with jugs of lye and bottles of caustic lying around. We get weird with it over here.

Oven: Definitely look up your oven’s manual online - not all of them are able to have the glass removed. I was pretty sad to discover that about my current oven.
