Nutty Dilemma: Baking for Everyone’s Needs

Today, I’m on a mission to bring a little homemade comfort to my coworkers: banana bread! But here’s the twist—one of my colleagues has a nut allergy, and another absolutely loves pecans. So, I’m making two loaves: one loaded with crunchy pecans, and one completely nut-free. The batter is identical, but the pecans are sprinkled on top of just one loaf before baking. Here’s my dilemma: Can I bake both loaves at the same time, or do I need to bake the nut-free one first to avoid any risk of cross-contamination? I want everyone to feel included and safe, but I also don’t want to spend all day in the kitchen. Has anyone faced this situation before? How do you handle baking for people with allergies without compromising on taste or safety? Would love to hear your tips and experiences! #BakingForAll #FoodAllergies #BananaBread #KitchenDilemma #InclusiveCooking #Food #Cooking
