Yes, this is possible, but not common. Even though I know that it can be done, I don’t really have any examples, other than this somewhat similar one in Maine: http://naturalsociety.com/sedgwick-maine-first-us-town-say-forced-gmo-regulations-fda/

You can make all of the things you described, as long as they don’t require refrigeration. You need to be incorporating fruits like blueberries or bananas into the batter (garnishing with fruits isn’t allowed).
