Recipe: Re 275 degree oven

Vivian~

I presume you do not have the option of using another oven, or getting the current oven repaired.

I am anxious to see what other TKL friends suggest. My thought is that you might consider changing recipes and using one that requires a lower temperature than the one you picked.

Here are a few suggestions:

Wheat/Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins

2/3 c banana
1 egg
1 cup milk or water
1/3 c oil or shortening
1 tsp soda
3 tsp baking powder
2/3 c rice flour
2/3 c bean flour
2 tsp xanthan gum
2/3 c potato flour or mashed potato
1 c blueberries

Mix the first 4 ingredients, sift dry ingredients and add to the flour mixture. Add blueberries and mix. Fill prepared muffin tins 3/4 full.
Bake at 300F for 40 min.
Makes one dozen.

-OR- shelled sunflower seeds

1/2 c Honey

Preheat oven to 275 F (very slow).

Mix rolled oats, wheat germ, coconut or sunflower seeds, nuts, and raisins in a large bowl.

Mix oil, honey, and vanilla. Pour over rolled oat mixture. Stir lightly until evenly mixed.

Spread mixture on a 15x10x1 inch baking pan.

Vivian, you might also consider making a no-bake recipe. You will find many here on TKL by using the search box and entering the word: nobake

Here are a couple examples I found:

No-bake Creamy Chocolate Crescents

2 8-ounce bars milk chocolate
1 8-ounce container frozen whipped topping, thawed
2/3 cup finely crushed vanilla wafers

In a heavy 2-qt. saucepan melt chocolate bars over low heat, stirring often; cool to room temperature. Fold in dessert topping. Mixture will thicken. Cover and chill at least 1 hour. Form into 1-inch balls or crescent shapes. Roll in crumbs. Chill Thoroughly. Makes about 66.
