Baking Ideas?

Banana bread sounds so lovely! If it’s your/his style, adding chocolate chips could make it nice too.

Personally, my go-to is chocolate chip cookies. Or a brownie like the other commenter said could be a great option too!

Does he have any favorites? My husband loves no-bake cookies so that's what I'd choose for him. I did ask my husband what he thought and he said "Just baking anything puts her well above anyone else there" 😊

Sweeeet!! My boyfriend loves my protein chocolate chip cookies and cinnamon buns. Cinnamon buns look lovely, are easily packed and delicious!

For the protein cookies I use a normal Choc Chip cookie recipe and substitute 3/4 of the Flour serving with whey powder. If your husband says "no" to treats because of his fitness, you'll get him around with those.

For the cinnamon buns I use 3.5 cups flour Active dry yeast Salt 1 cup milk 1/3 cup water 2 eggs 1/4 cup honey 1/4 cup melted butter

I let that mix rest for 3 hours and then roll it out, fill it with a brownsugar + butter + cinnamon mixture, roll it to a log and cut out some buns. Let it proof in the baking tin for 30 mins before baking in 375F/190C for 40 mins.

Without the glaze it's perfect for packing and it looks so so yummy :) Congratulations to your husband!!

What a cute idea!

I love the idea of banana bread, but the first thing that came to my mind was a nice square of an extra-indulgent brownie.

A vanilla or lemon pound cake

Not a sweet bake, but have you ever made bagels? They’re super fun and easy. My husband has loved me making them recently! I’m doing him a packed lunch tomorrow since he’s off for a full day tattoo session so I’m making sweetcorn chowder in one of those vacuum flasks, plus a bagel and some home made chocolate chip cookies! The bagel recipe on Sally’s baking addiction is great!

Maybe also look into something he can share around if it’s appropriate in his workplace, for once he’s been there a little while? Home baked goodies always go down well with everyone and perhaps major points for having an amazing wife for him as well?

How sweet! My man loves cookies, so that's probably what I would swing for. I love the banana bread idea, especially with the idea of adding chocolate chips like u/rosesonthefloor mentioned.

Does he have any favorites? Or anything he loves when you make?

What a nice idea! My husband loves both pecan and lemon squares (and they’re also easy to make and freeze for later, if you wanted to knock out more than one batch).

My husband’s favorite is chocolate chip cookies 😋

Staying in the whole quick bread realm, pumpkin bread is amazing. It’s not very pumpkin-forward so the bread will taste more like spices, but the pumpkin purée does make it extremely moist.

If you want to zhuzh it up a little (which I highly recommend), make some salted maple butter to slather on after the bread’s been warmed up.

Bon Appetit’s recipe is amazing—they have a video up on YouTube.

Send my congratulations to your husband!!!

I’m making pecan tassies tomorrow!

bringyourownboobies · 2020-01-25T20:12:39+00:00

My boyfriend loves lemon cooler cookies and lemon ice box pie! He’s not a big fan of chocolate, but if yours is, a really good and moist brownie would be nice! Or blondies!

throwaway104304 · 2020-01-25T21:13:31+00:00

eggs, sausage, pancakes, bacon, maybe a strawberry banana protein smoothie?

Captainsgirl · 2020-01-25T23:54:01+00:00

First of all, congrats to him on his new job! Exciting!

I like your banana bread idea. My husband and sons love banana bread, especially with chocolate chips. As a funny side note, am I the only one that throws browning bananas in a plastic bag in the freezer to make banana bread.

Husband: "Why are there 6 brown bananas in a bag in our freezer?!?"

Me: "Banana bread."

Him: "Soon?"

Anyway, I also love the idea that others have suggested to give him something to share with his new coworkers. Personally when I am making something for Hubby or the kids to share, I often whip up a batch of Toll house cookie bars because they are so easy and everyone loves them.

Banana bread sounds excellent! If you're every wanting to make a dessert that keeps a long time, I recommend fudge—it can be very easy to make and can last a week or two if kept in an airtight container in a cool space (fridge, for best results).

For a basic chocolate fudge, dump a 12oz bag of semisweet chocolate chips and one 14oz can of sweetened condensed milk into a microwaveable bowl. Microwave for thirty seconds, stir it a bit, and pop it in for another thirty seconds. The chocolate chips should be fully melted and combine with the condensed milk. If there's clumps, keep warming it up until it mixes smoothly. Add a capful of vanilla extract and stir. Then immediately pour it into a parchment paper-lined pan of your choice (I generally use a 9x9 glass pan). Let it cool. You can serve immediately once it's cool or pop it in the fridge when the pan is no longer hot (especially if it's in a glass pan!). Super rich and delicious!

If peanut butter fudge is more his thing (it's my boyfriend's favorite!), here is a great recipe for it. I'm not real big on peanut butter myself, but I could not stop eating this! A bit more complicated, but the end result is sooo worth it.

Congrats on his new job btw! 🎉

That’s so sweet you making something for him, like I’m a Red pill and seeing this was like awwwwww

AnnaAerials · 2020-01-26T01:03:55+00:00

It might be good to make a batch of muffins he enjoys :) blueberry is fresh but not everyone’s favourite. Maybe they’ll freeze ok too?

2020-01-26T05:04:51+00:00

I can’t tell you how many friends I have made with this recipe!

He may not get long to eat. Something solid that can be eaten while on yard duty might be good - cookies?

Keirsten96 · 2020-02-26T22:17:28+00:00

I love making crepes for my family, myself, and if my boyfriend were actually here with me, I'm sure he'd love them too.

Crepes are super fun because you can customize it however you want and you can freeze the leftovers for another breakfast or even have breakfast for dinner.

Something for him to take to work, sugar cookies are super easy, but my go to is peanut butter cookie cups. Make peanut butter cookies as normal (using any recipe you prefer), but instead of rolling them into a ball, put them in a miniature muffin tin. Melt a few chocolate chips in the bottom until you get a thick layer of chocolate and drop the peanut butter cookie dough on top. Don't forget the classic fork design on top!! Bake the cookies as normal, but keep in mind these will be a little chewier and softer than basic peanut butter cookies because of being baked in the muffin tin.

Sorry if that was rambling.
