Comment on Healthier pumpkin bread (eggless, dairy-free, vegan, less sugar) by Janice Lawandi https://bakeschool.com/healthier-pumpkin-bread/comment-page-1/#comment-81937 Tue, 14 Oct 2025 15:02:36 +0000 https://bakeschool.com/?p=19945#comment-81937 In reply to Deborah.

Hi, Thanks for your comment. Is it possible you used regular table salt instead of Diamond Crystal fine Kosher salt? If you did, this would explain why the bread was too salty.
I will add a note to remind readers that the recipe calls for Diamond Crystal specifically in the ingredient list or else to adjust the amount.

Hi! Thanks for your comment about the can size! It's so helpful! I'll add a note about it in the recipe card - I am in Canada, and our cans of pumpkin purée are much larger. For us, it's much less than 1 can of pumpkin. I avoid using cans as a quantity because the size of a can varies from country to country.

Comment on The complete guide to leavening agents and chemical leaveners by Tracy Lynn https://bakeschool.com/leavening-agents-in-baking/comment-page-1/#comment-81872 Mon, 13 Oct 2025 11:47:13 +0000 https://bakeschool.com/?p=13334#comment-81872 This is really helpful information. I made a pumpkin bread yesterday and actually used both baking powder and baking soda ….. I might have gone a little overboard because I did have 1/3 cup of yogurt in the batter as an acid so the baking powder wasn’t necessary. I read above that too much baking powder can make the product go flat……the bread turned out fine, but I will leave it out next time to see if I get more rise out of it. I remember I used to use double acting baking powder and my baked goods would come out much higher……I don’t currently have that on hand and I definitely notice a difference……Again, thanks for this very thorough explanation. I’m really good in the kitchen, but baking isn’t my green thumb. So I’m on a journey to understand baking vs just enjoying the end product. “Knowledge Is Power”

Love this recipe, and I wanted to say thank you for posting it! It's just so easy, very sweet despite the reduced sugar, and it does work well with not-too-moist homemade puree, just as you describe. It'll be going into my notebook, and I'll be sure to share your link with anyone who asks.

Comment on Why do blueberries turn green in muffins by Karen https://bakeschool.com/blueberries-can-turn-green-in-your-muffins-and-thats-okay/comment-page-2/#comment-81767 Sun, 12 Oct 2025 03:24:07 +0000 https://bakeschool.com/?p=3737#comment-81767 I'm a bit late to the party here, but a question... I am on a low acid diet because of Gerd, so I consume mainly alkaline foods. I really love blueberries, but they are high in acid, so am I right in thinking that if mixed in a muffin with almond flour/meal and baking soda, they will alkalise the berries so I can eat them? Or would they have to be soaked in something like almond milk first? If the muffins turn green, does that mean the berries have been alkalised? Love for an answer to this.

I love this recipe especially since my son is allergic to eggs. I used olive oil instead of canola, and added vanilla extract and a few extra dashes of pumpkin pie spice (this adds ginger & cloves) to give it extra fall spice flavor. I wish the recipe would have said 1 can of Libby's pumpkin instead of a cup and a half, I could have avoided dirtying those measuring cups 😄

I am an experienced baker, and 1 teaspoon of salt is too much! Seriously, that much salt makes the dish anything but healthy. I decided to follow your recipe exactly as written, and it turned out to be way too salty. 1/4 teaspoon is enough salt.
