Saturday Snapshot: Weekend Baking

Saturday Snapshot is a weekly meme hosted by Alyce at At Home With Books. The guidelines are to post a photo that you or a friend or family member have taken and then link it back to Alyce's original post for the week. Photos can be old or new and be of any subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see.

I caught a 'baking bug' last weekend and decided to take on a couple new recipes. I had some fresh raspberries on hand which I decided would be the focus.

Raspberry Oatmeal Muffins - first vegan recipe I've ever tried and they turned out pretty good.


Raspberry Lime Bread
- you have to really like lime for this recipe, which I do. I used True Lime rather than lime juice which gave it an extra tart flavor punch.


Banana Oatmeal Bars - very simple and quick recipe, and best of all no sugar! Very taste and a great on-the-go snack.

    1. They are, though I always warn people that there is no sugar to see their reaction to how good they are without it.

    1. Maybe the squares, which in theory they could make themselves - super duper easy. Throw everything in one bowl, mix, put in oven.

  3. Mmm those look good! I'm curious about that lime/raspberry combination. It sounds very yummy and . . . tart.

    1. It is definitely tart, and I quite like that. The raspberries are out of season so they are a bit tart as well. Below is the recipe I tried, with a couple modifications:

  6. The first two look so yummy, but the only fruit my hubby doesn't like is raspberry. I might try them with blueberries though.

    1. I think the blueberries would work well with the muffins. This is the recipe I tried: Raspberry Oatmeal Muffins.

      I'm not sure about blueberry / lime combination for the bread, but why not!
