Our Story
Dear DFW
It started at 2 AM with flour on the ceiling and a toddler who wouldn't eat anything.
Our oldest, Austin, was diagnosed with profound autism when he was three, and shortly after, we learned about ARFID — Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder. Most food terrified him. The wrong texture, the wrong color, even the wrong shape of a cracker, and the meal was over before it started. I spent months researching, testing, failing, and starting over.
What I couldn't find on any store shelf was something simple: baked goods made with real, organic ingredients that were safe for a kid who experiences food as a minefield. No seed oils. No mystery additives. No ingredient list that reads like a chemistry exam. Just honest food that a sensitive child might actually eat.
It was actually Adam who came up with the original secret meat muffin — sneaking ground beef into a muffin so Austin would actually eat something with protein. I became obsessed with perfecting it, tweaking the recipe until Austin would reach for it on his own. That's when I fell in love with baking — really baking. From there it was sourdough, then Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies, then friends asking for more. Then their friends.
Every recipe at Cait's Organic Bakes comes from that same kitchen-table promise. I source organic ingredients from American farms. I list every single thing that goes into every single product — because your family deserves to know exactly what they're eating.
Whether you need a Magic Meat Muffin for a child who's learning to trust food again, or a sourdough loaf for Sunday dinner, or just a really good Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie — I bake it all by hand, with my whole heart.

What We Bake
Every crumb, accounted for
Three recipes, one promise: you'll know exactly what's inside.
Artisan Sourdough
Forty-eight hours of slow fermentation, hand-scored and baked to a shattering crust. The crumb is open, tangy, and alive — the way sourdough was meant to taste, from a starter fed daily with love.
Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
The classic, elevated. Crisp edges, chewy center, organic dark chocolate chunks in every bite. Made with nutty brown butter, organic flour, and nothing you can't pronounce. These disappear every time we share them with friends.
Magic Meat Muffins
Designed for kids who experience food differently. Smooth, predictable, and gentle — no surprise chunks, no crunchy bits, no texture landmines. Protein-packed with ground beef hidden inside where it belongs, baked with coconut flour and sweetened with organic stevia. Low carb for healing bellies.
Texture-Safe Baking
Because food shouldn't be scary
ARFID — Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder — affects how a child experiences food. It's not picky eating. It's not a phase. For kids with ARFID, the wrong texture can trigger a visceral, overwhelming response that makes mealtime a daily battle for the whole family.
We understand because we've lived it. Our texture-safe recipes are designed from the ground up to be smooth, predictable, and free of surprise textures. No hidden nut chunks. No unexpected seed crunch. No gritty protein powder.
Instead, we hide nutrition where it belongs — blended into the batter itself. Grass-fed ground beef for protein. Coconut flour to keep it low carb. Everything smooth, everything consistent, every single time.
A child learning to trust food again needs to know that each bite will be exactly like the last. ~ this is why we do what we do
