Most Requested Bake At Home

never imagined an oats quick bread would become such a hit! I've baked this loaf four times just this week. The first time I made this Oats & Chocolate Breakfast Loaf, I gave it to friends. I didn't expect my boys to like it. But they tasted the two slices I had saved to enjoy with my evening coffee . That was enough to spark a full-blown protest.

My little fella immediately started teasing me, saying I never bake for them and only for my friends. He even pointed out how I baked a fresh Christmas cake exclusively for my friends. Hearing his complaints, the elder one also joined in. Apparently, during Diwali, the cereal bars and nut bars I baked, never quite made it to the boys either.

To make up for everything they missed, I went all out this week. I baked about two dozen mini loaves of the fluffiest oat bread. I even whipped up a batch of decadent apple pie bread rolls.

The Ultimate Teen-Approved Snack List for the Holidays

It's December and both my boys are home. The elder one is on his semester break and the younger fella is enjoying his Christmas holidays. With two teens under one roof, there is always someone opening the fridge, checking the snack box or asking, "Amma, anything to eat?"

To keep the peace, I plan and prep a few snacks over the weekend. This way, they at least have something to nibble on during the week.

We celebrated my mom's 83rd birthday this week, the chocolate lamingtons and coffee cake I made helped me survive the initial 2 days.

You've heard of pizza for dinner, but we took it up a notch and did pizza for lunch. If you're not a fan of the traditional version, you should try my bun pizza or pizza sandwich.

My younger one is obsessed with Tutti Frutti buns, while I personally have a weakness for puff pastry bakes. These cream cheese cones and vegetable puffs are my easy, reliable crowd-pleasers.

So tell me, which one of these would you like to bake first?

Eat your Fruit : Struggle is Real with Kids

The habit of eating fruits, is a bit hard to cultivate in kids. I still struggle with my teen, trying since he was a toddler, hoping he would change as he is developing healthy eating habits now, the teen-phase uhhh!

My younger on the other hand loves to eat fresh apples, crunchy cucumbers and is crazy about mangoes. The apples however has to be fresh, no brown spots should happen to them, if he tastes peel or the seed part or if the apples are bit browned, that's it, a big No!

With so much drama with regard to eating fruits, they don't complain when it is baked. So, I add it to my bakes, easy job for mummy. I m aware of the sugar part, but they just have only one serving a day, so i let it go.

Before starting to the airport on July 4th, i literally hugged and kissed my Oven, Cooking range and my refrigerator and told them not to worry for being left unattended or less used for the next 2 months. This is my usual routine before leaving for vacation. For me baking is just like day to day cooking, making sambhar for lunch and baking bread for dinner or breakfast is an usual chore in my house. 
But, when i m in Chennai for my vacation, i miss baking, the touch of yeast and smell of freshly baked bread is something that cannot be described by words. That is the reason i m into so many Bread baking groups. When Rocio of Kids and Chic announced Oatmeal as the theme for this Month's #Bread Bakers, i was literally scratching my head, i didn't want to miss it, but how do bake without oven??? Since bread bakers normally give us a broad theme, i chose to make a steamed bun for this month.
Huajuan or Steamed Scallion Buns, is steamed bun for Mandarin cuisine. I have already tried Banh Boa sometime back, so, i knew the taste and ease of making the same. But this time, i replaced half the flour with oatmeal and made these scallion buns for evening snack. I served them with some peanut and sesame sauce. 

Source : here
Ingredients
1.5 cups Whole wheat flour (Chapathi flour)
1.5 cups Oats flour (i used quick cooking oats)
heaped teaspoon instant yeast
2 teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup warm milk + 2 or 3 tablespoon extra

Filling
4 tablespoon finely chopped scallions(green part only)
2 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoon roasted white sesame seeds
1 green chili, finely chopped (optional)

Method
  • Take oats in a mixer and powder it. I measured 1.5 cups quick oats first and then powdered it. 
  • Take both the flours together in a bowl, add yeast, sugar and salt. Mix well. Add warm milk to this and knead to form a  soft dough.
  • Once  you get a dough, knead it for few times to make it more soft. I coated my hands with little oil and kneaded the dough. Once done, let it rest covered for an hour or until it doubles in size. Mix the ingredients given under filling in a bowl and keep aside until use.

  • Once the dough doubles, punch it down and divide it into two portions. Roll a portion of dough, roughly into a rectangle, not too thick nor too thin. Spread a generous portion of the filling on it. Roll it tightly into a log. Divide the log into 1 inch pieces. 
  • Repeat the same with the rest of the dough. Place the cut portions on the steamer plate and let it sit for 20 minutes to rise.
  • Since i used my idly steamer for this, i kept it ready on the stove while the bread was resting, so after 20 minutes, the water was boiling and ready. 
  • Place the steam basket over the boiling water. Cover and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the buns are done. 

#BreadBakers is a group of bread loving bakers who get together once a month to bake bread with a common ingredient or theme. Follow our Pinterest board right here. Links are also updated each month on this home page. We take turns hosting each month and choosing the theme/ingredient.

    We are starting the second week of Fire up your oven, April Baking mega marathon. Last week i blogged under the theme: Twist & Roll. This week's theme is Oats in bakes.  I have planned for some breads, scones and some quick breads. In this genre, today i give you the best Oats bread you would ever bake. This bread was suggested by Veena as part of our Tame the Yeast theme of our regular blogging marathon. I couldn't bake it that time, but when i decided the theme for this baking marathon, the first bake i did was this super  soft and fluffy oats bread. Try it you will definitely agree with me.

    Source : Bakingdom

    Ingredient
    3 cups Bread flour/All Purpose Flour
    ¾ cup oats (i have used rolled oats)
    2 ¼ teaspoon instant yeast
    1 ½ teaspoon salt
    1&¼ cup milk 
    2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    ¼ cup honey

    For Topping
    2 tablespoon warm honey
    2 tablespoon oats


    Method
    • I used my Food Processor to make the dough. In a large bowl, or the bowl of a your food processor, combine the flour, oats, yeast, and salt.
    • In another bowl, that can hold 2 cups measure, warm the milk so that it's hot enough to melt the butter, but not boiling. Add the butter, stirring until melted, then stir in the  honey.
    • Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture,knead until it just comes together to form a dough. Knead for 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and allow to rise until doubled, about ½ to 1 hour.
    • Once doubled, place the dough on a clean, dry work surface. If the dough is too sticky, lightly flour the surface before continuing. With your fingers, flatten the dough into a 9 by 12-inch rectangle. Tightly roll the dough, tucking the ends as needed, into a loaf. Place the shaped dough into a 9×5-inch loaf pan, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and allow to rise until doubled, about an hour.
    • Preheat oven to 180 C. Place an empty loaf pan on the bottom rack of the oven and bring 2 cups of water to a boil.When the loaf is doubled again, brush the top with the warmed honey and sprinkle with the oats.
    • Place the bread in the oven and pour the boiling water into the empty loaf pan on the bottom rack of the oven. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until the bread is deep golden brown. Transfer to a wire cooling rack and allow to cool completely before serving.

    I m baking after almost 3 weeks and blogging after a month. I normally blog atleast once a week, if i m not doing BM. But this month, i didn't touch my camera and enjoyed things as such, was off the social media for sometime, felt like a welcome break. Now after navrathri, i m trying to pep myself up, trying to be active in instagram and FB, and signed up for 4 weeks of regular BM. 

    The first week theme is kids delight, +srivalli jetti  is celebrating her blog anniversary this month, and she hosts october kids delight inline with that. 
    Here is a simple muffin, which i made for the event. Post navrathri, there are so many apples and bananas lying on the table, i have 3 big ziploc full of frozen bananas and atleast 2 dozen apples in the fridge. So you will be seeing lots of apple/banana recipes coming up in my space all this month.
    These muffins are very simple and easy to make, i have used my Eggless Whole Wheat vanilla cake recipe and improvised by adding oats to it.  The muffins came out moist and fluffy. They make a great after-school snack for kids and definitely a lovely treat for parties or even as a return gift. With festive season around, they will make a great edible gift to any health conscious person.

    Ingredients

    1 cup whole wheat flour ( i use aashirwad brand flour)
    1 cup quick cooking oats
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    ¾ cup sugar
    ½ teaspoon baking soda
    1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
    ½ teaspoon freshly grated ginger
    2 nos royal gala apples, grated
    ¾ cup yogurt
    ½ cup milk or water
    ⅓ cup of oil, any neutral oil, i used coconut oil
    ¼ cup of chopped walnuts

    Method

    • Preheat the oven to 180C. Grease a 12-hole muffin pan with oil or prep them with paper liners. I lined them with muffin liners.
    • In a large bowl take flour and oats together. Add sugar, cinnamon powder, ginger to this and whisk well.
    • In a measuring jug/bowl, take curd, add baking soda and baking powder to it and whisk well to combine. Let this sit for 5 minutes, it will bubble up. Add oil and milk/water to this and mix gently.
    • Now to the flour mix, add shredded apples, chopped walnuts and mix. The mixture will be a little clumpy. 
    • Now slowly add the liquid mixture to the flour mix, using a spatuala slowly mix to form a homogeneous mixture.
    • Fill ⅔rd of each muffin hole with the batter and bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Mine got done in 25 minutes. 
    • I baked in the gas oven, baking time vary from oven to oven, so kindly follow your oven settings.
    • Once done, remove the muffins from the oven, let them cool on a wire rack and store covered on the kitchen counter. It should stay good for 2-3 days, if storing more, refrigerate or even freeze it.
    • If serving from the fridge, warm it in the microwave fro 10-20 seconds.
    • If serving from the freezer, wrap them in alufoil, bake at 150 for 10 minutes and serve warm.

    Enjoying a dessert guilt-free, has become almost next to impossible. Not that i m afraid of the calories, but when compared to the amount of hardwork that goes in losing an inch or a kilo off your hips, it is definitely worth to shake your head signalling a No!
    I cannot be on a diet, so i try to restrict myself to healthy options. Like this oats and almond bites, though i hardly eat one in a day, but when i did, i dont feel bad or fret or don't have to give explanation to the watchful eyes of my dear hubby! 
    These delicious almond and oats bites, can be made lil more delicious by adding some cocoa or some chopped chocolate while shaping them. You can also roll them in some chopped pistachios or cocoa or toasted coconut to make them more atttractive. They make a great gift for any occasion. 

    Ingredients(Makes around 20, depending on the size)
    1 cup almonds
    1 cup quick cooking oats
    ½ cup dessicated coconut
    15-18 nos dates, seeds removed
    2 tbso chia seeds (optional)
    2 tablespoon coconut oil

    Method

    • Toast almonds, oats and dessicated coconut separately in the microwave. To do this, take a microwave safe plate, spread the almonds, microwave high for 2 minutes, stop and stir after 1 minute.
    • Remove the almonds to another plate. In the same plate, add oats and microwave high for a minute. Remove it to the same almonds plate. Likewise toast dessicated coconut for 30 seconds.
    • Let the ingredietns cool completely. While they are resting, let us get the dates ready. If using dates with seeds, remove the seeds. Now take almonds, oats and dessicated coconut in a mixer and pulse them together to a coarse powder. Then add pitted dates to this mixture and pulse again in gaps for a minute, so it comes together like a ball.
    • Finally add the coconut oil to mixture, pulse once more and remove it to a flat plate. add chia seeds to it and start making small ping-pong sized balls. Store them in an air-tight container, i prefer to refrigerate as it contains coconut and in this hot climate, didnt want to take the risk.

    Oats adai, a delicious breakfast made with oats and mixed lentils premix. A quick, no soak adai, and a vegan recipe, that gets ready in 30 minutes.

    Jump to Recipe

    What is Adai

    Adai is a healthy, protein rich, nutrient dense breakfast. A South-Indian style pancake made of rice and lentils. A quick and easy thick dosai like dish, which doesn't need any fermentation. A quick soak for 3-4 hours, ground and poured immediately. So, Adai is a convenient recipe for many like me. I soak the ingredients overnight, grind it fresh in the morning, serve it for breakfast.

    The traditional adai is made of rice and lentils and is naturally a vegan dish. Soak the ingredients for 3-4 hours minimum, grind it with chilies and spices. Usually, adai batter doesn't need any resting, but doing so, for an hour or two, enhances the flavor of the adai. Since, Adai ground with necessary spices, it usually doesn't require any chutney or sides and served with just butter and jaggery.

    Adai & Aviyal, a stew made of mixed vegetables, cooked with coconut and chilies masala, topped with sour curd, is a popular dish in Tamilnadu and served as a weekend special in many restaurants.

    Varieties of Adai

    Adai can be made of other grains too. Barley Adai, made of barley and lentils. A mixed millet adai, made of 4 different millets and lentils. Jowar adai, made of sorghum and lentils. Varagu arisi adai, made of kodo millet and lentils. Another healthy multigrain adai, made of 7 different grains and lentils.

    Oats Adai - No Soak Adai

    Coming to today's recipe Oats Adai, a quick no soak adai recipe. I have made a coarse powder of oats and lentils and mixed it with water to make a thick batter.

    This makes this recipe quick and easy. The Oats and lentils can be powdered ahead, and used whenever you want a quick meal.

    Adai with oats

    I have added a delicious tempering of chilies, curry leaves and carrots to this batter, that makes the adai more colorful and flavorsome. You can onions, peas or even corn to this batter. A quick breakfast that gets ready in 30 minutes.

    The Ingredients

    • Oats, I have used whole oats. You can also use quick cooking oats in the recipe.
    • Lentils, I have used a mix of moong dal, masoor dal and peanuts in the recipe. You can also add chana dal and tuvar dal or a mix of all four dals.
    • Rice, for crispy adai. Without rice, the adai will be soft, so a small amount of rice is added for the crispness. I have used basmati rice here, you can add any short grain rice.
    • Vegetables, I have added shredded carrots in the adai batter. As I have mentioned earlier you can use peas, corn, and onions too in the batter.
    • Spices, I have used ginger and chilies, to flavor the batter.
    • Tempering, regular tempering ingredients like mustard seeds, hing and curry leaves is used.

    Step by Step Instructions

    Please check recipe card below for exact measurements of each ingredient used and also for the detailed instructions

    • Measure oats, moong, masoor dal, peanuts, and rice into a flat plate. Take all the ingredients in a mixer. Grind it to a fine coarse powder.
    • Take this coarse powder in a bowl, add required water to make a pourable batter.
    • To this batter add a tempering of mustard seeds, chilies, ginger, curry leaves and shredded carrot to the batter. Mix well and let it sit for 10 minutes.
    Oats adai making
    • Heat a pan, pour a ladle of batter in the center, spread a little, make a hole in the center, this ensures the pancake cooks evenly. Drizzle gingely oil. Cover and cook the adai for a minute or two, in a simmer flame. Flip and cook on the side.
    • Remove the adai and serve it warm with side of your choice or just butter and jaggery.

    • Spread the batter a bit into a circle using the back of ladle. Make a hole in the center, this ensures even cooking. Drizzle a teaspoon of gingely oil all over and the edges. Cover and cook in a medium flame for a minute or two.
    • Open the cover, flip and cook the other side for another minute. Remove the adai to a serving plate.
    • Serve the adai warm with any side of your choice. I served with Peanut-coconut and sesame chutney.

    Apple & oats energy balls, aka Apple ladoos, a delicious treat made of fresh apples, oats and nuts , sweetened with dates. These energy balls are easy to make and a great snack on the go.

    Have you ever felt this dilema of how to name your local food in English? I know there is no need to do it, but being a food blogger, if you have mixed audience, how to make your post reach them? Some tension.

    Apple & Oats ladoo

    These apple ladoos are a great dessert for any festival and they make a great edible gift during festivites. You can make them as balls or press them down on a flat plate and cut them into bars. They make a great snack anytime.  Not only they satiate your sweet tooth, it is guilt-free too.

    With fall season and fresh apples everywhere, these energy balls are perfect reason to try. These cute balls make a great after school snack for kids or a mid-morning snack for adults. Since they are shaped into ping-pong size balls, these energy balls are portion-controlled.

    Apple ladoo

    How to make it

    First we need to dry roast oats and dessicated coconut separtely and keep aside. Once cool, grind them to a fine powder. These two add volume to the energy balls.

    Process the dates to a smooth paste. I have used a soft variety of dates in this recipe, if using mejdool or other variety, do soak the dates in water to soften them which will make it easier while processing them .

    Apple & Oats Energy balls

    Grate the apples and cook it in butter, add ground date paste, spices and saute until the liquid is completely absorbed. Tothis add the oats and coconut mixture, add nuts and when it comes together as a mass, take it off stove. Shape them into balls or squares and store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.

    The Ingredients

    • Apples, i have used royal gala apples
    • Dates, i have used soft iranian/persian dates for the ladoos, these don't need any soaking, just pit and process them to smooth paste.
    • Oats and dessicated coconut, i have used rolled oats, these 2 ingredients add volume to the energy balls.
    • Spices, cinnamon, nutmeg, candied ginger are used to flavor the ladoos. You can also use cardamom, cloves and saffron, it is a personal choice.
    • Fat, both butter and ghee are used in the recipe, if vegan, go for vegan butter/ghee.
    • Nuts, roughly chopped mixed nuts are added as the crunchy element in these energy balls. If allergic to nuts, feel free to omit them.

    Equipment

    • Food processor/blender

    Ingredients

    • 3 nos Royal gala apples
    • 12-15 nos dates, i have used soft iranian/persian dates pitted
    • ¼ cup rolled oats quick cooking can also be used
    • ¼ cup dessicated coconut + 1 tablespoon for coating the balls
    • ¼ cup mixed nuts ( Cashews & almonds) roasted
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
    • 1 teaspoon candied ginger
    • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg powder
    • 2 tablespoon butter
    • 2 tablespoon ghee

    Instructions

    • Wash the apples well, Grate them fine. Take the dates, remove the seeds, grind them to a smooth paste. I used a soft variety, so didn't soak the dates. If using mejdool or any other variety, soak in warm water for 15-20 minutes, drain and then grind it to paste
    • Heat a wide pan, dry roast the oats and dessicated coconut separately. Take care not to burn them, it will spoil the taste of the energy balls.
    • Once roasted, let both the ingredients coolwell. Take them in a mixer, add candied ginger to it  and grind them allto a fine powder
    • In the same pan, in which you dry roasted oatsand coconut, add butter and heat. Once the butter melts, add the shreddedapples and cinnamon powder. Saute it well for 10-12 minutes in a simmer flame.The apples should get soft well and change color
    • To the apples, add the dates paste and saute well for another 8-10 minutes. Both apples and dates should blend well and come together to a sticky paste.
    • Now to this add ground oats and coconut powder. This powder adds volume to the mixture and makes sure they come together as a mass, which will be easy to shape. 
    • Now add 2 tablespoon of ghee to this and saute. Once it comes together as a mass, without sticking to the pan, remove it from the stove
    • Add chopped nuts to this and mix well. Let the mixture come to touchable warm.
    • Once warm, shape them into ping-pong sized balls, and roll each ball with dessicated coconut. 

    Notes

    • I have used soft iranian/persian dates for the recipe, which doesnt need any soaking and can be ground directly to fine paste. 
    • If using mejdool or any stiff variety, soak them in water for atleast 30minutes, drain and then grind to paste.
    • I have used rolled oats for the ladoos, you can also use quick cooking oats
    • Spices used are of personal choice.

    These delicious and flavorsome apple ladoos make a great edible gift to friends and families. Sweetened with dates they also make a great guilt-free snack for the calorie-conscious.

    These ladoos have made quite a round among-st my friends during Diwali. I made these energy balls few years back for a friend who was visiting from US. The laddu was such a hit, i have made them often for gifting to my friends and also for my kiddos snack box.

    Oats & Nuts ladoo

    These Poha & Oats Ladoo or energy balls whatever you call them, are a quick snack to grab anytime. The nuts used in them give an instant boost in energy and also keep us satiated for a longer time.

    I have used cane jaggery in the recipe instead of white sugar, which also adds up to the health quotient. These homemade quick to make snacks are always a better option than the store-bought sugary snacks.

    These Oats and nuts ladoo/energy balls is a vegan, gluten-free and a healthy snack even for a diabetic. If you wish to add ghee, add a spoon or two, but they taste yum, without any fat. The peanuts, can be replaced with any nut of your choice, the prime fat here is the Nut butter, so have loads of it!

    Poha and nuts ladoo

    The Ingredients

    • Poha or Rice flakes, I have used white rice flakes to make these nut ladoos you can also use brown variety.
    • Oats, i have used rolled oats for the energy balls, quick cooking oats can also be used.
    • Nuts, i have used peanuts and almonds in the ladoo. You can use any nuts of your choice.
    • Jaggery, i have used cane jaggery in the recipe instead of white sugar
    • Spices, Cardamom and cloves are used to add flavor to the ladoo.

    • Dry roast oats, poha, almonds and peanuts, each separately. While dry roasting, keep the flame in medium and keep stirring frequently to avoid burning of the ingredients. Let the ingredients cool completely.
    • Take poha, oats and cardamom together in a mixer or your food processor and grind it to a fine powder. Keep aside until use.
    • Now take roasted peanuts and almonds into the mixer or food processor and pulse it to get a fine powder. Pulse it, we first want to powder it and then mix together.
    • Once the nuts are powdered, Now add the powdered oats and poha mixture to it and also the powdered jaggery and grind again for a minute or two.
    • While grinding, the nuts will start releasing its fat and the mixture will start clumping together.
    • Transfer the contents to a flat plate, and start making balls/ladoo by taking a handful of mixture and pressing it tight in your palms. 
    • Store them in an air-tight container on the Kitchen counter for 2-3 days, if storing for more, i would advise to refrigerate it.

    Notes

    • Roasting the ingredients is important. We are dry roasting here, take care not to burn the ingredients
    • I have used peanuts and almonds in the recipe. You can use equal quantities of both nuts.The nuts can be replaced with any other nuts of your choice
    • If you are not particular about keeping it vegan, add 2-3 tablespoon ghee/clarified butter while shaping the ladoo, for extra flavor.
