Fallish baked goods?

[SSSneezy]

I'm hosting a meeting at my home next Tuesday at l0:00 a.m. for about 15 ladies. Any suggestions for a couple of really easy breads, coffee cakes, etc? It is going to be a hectic morning and I'm talking that muffins would be too much trouble to make. But, I do want to bake something and not get bagels.

Thanks for your help.

Here are a couple of recipes that we like that are easy. Or what about Monkey Bread? I have a variety of recipes that range from the regular cinnamon/raisin to an herb one & several with fruit - like raspberry preserves, pineapple, or blueberry. I believe this can be assembled the night before & kept in the refrigerator - then popped in the oven before everyone gets there. Let me know if you want any of those recipes. (Many/most use biscuit dough instead of frozen bread dough.)

Also, last Christmas I made Whispering Canyon Cafe's Strawberry Banana Bread the day before. It kept well for several days, actually, and we liked it better cold than room temp (not that it's not great room temp!)

Cinnamon-Topped Oatmeal Muffins
1 c flour
1/2 c raisins
1/4 c sugar
3 Tbl oil
3 tsp baking powder
1 egg
1/2 tsp salt
1 c milk
1 c oats

Topping:
2 Tbl sugar
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp melted butter

Combine ingredients; stir until moist. Sprinkle with topping. (Double topping is better! ) Makes a dozen. Bake at 425 for 15 minutes in greased or papered cups.

Clyde’s Coffee Cake
2 c flour
1 1/2 c sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 lb butter, melted
2 tsp baking powder
1 egg
1/2 c warm water
1 tsp vanilla
Combine flour, sugar, salt & butter. Reserve 1 cup for crumbs. Add baking powder, egg, water & vanilla. Mix only until moist. Pour in greased 8x8 pan. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. (I usually double to make 3 dozen muffins.)


Strawberry Banana Bread
from the Whispering Canyon Cafe, Wilderness Lodge
2 tsp baking soda
4 eggs
1 c butter
1 tsp salt
2 c sugar
3 c flour
1 ½ lb strawberries
2 c bananas (~6 medium)

Grease two loaf pans & preheat oven to 325. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter & sugar. Incorporate bananas scraping sides of bowl. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each. Set aside. In another bowl, mix together salt, baking soda & flour. Add flour mixture to butter mixture & stir until blended. Add strawberries (thawed). Bake 60 to 75 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely on a rack before inverting onto a plate.
