  • sugardetoxme I'd love to know what to do with mulberries. Maybe a homemade granola?
  • SimplySeema Love mulberries! I love adding the fresh ones into homemade raw chocolate. It's a delicious sweet surprise. Imagine it would be great mixed in with nuts, cereal or even cookies! What are your ideas...
  • JenniferEmilson I've only ever had them fresh. These have a slight crunch, like figs. I'll either use for granola or porridge topping, or else I'll reconstitute them in safer for baking.

  • JenniferEmilson Another easy way: get oven to 375 degrees. Sprinkle water all over the outside of baguette or loaf and put directly into oven. The steam will crunch up the outside, and warmly soften and fluff up...

  • Gwendolyn I always add a pan of water to the oven while I'm cooking fish to keep it moist and help it cook evenly, but I didn't know you could do the same for cakes! Cool!
  • unconventionalbaker Good tips @Rachna. Also making sure the balance between the acid and base is correct. A lot of the cake's rise depends on the interaction between those two (like baking soda and lemon juice for...
  • JenniferEmilson You'll also want to ensure your leavening agents are fresh and active. Too high a temp is often the culprit.

  • lauren Yum! I made this a few years ago and have been meaning to try it again. Did you need to squeeze the water out of the cauliflower after microwaving?
  • sugardetoxme I did a cauliflower crust (not for pizza) with nutritional yeast but would be curious what recipe you used too
  • unconventionalbaker I've tried that before as well and it worked great ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

  • sugardetoxme I seriously never thought of almond butter on a sweet potato. Is it good? And did all that talking about baked potatoes get you hungry?? ๐Ÿ˜
  • darkchocolatepeanutbutter Yep! I didn't think of almond butter either but I've been using sweet potatoes as a substitute for toast.
  • mirasingh If the logic carries, then I bet avocado a d chili flakes would be great as well.
