Eggless Savoury French Toast | Besan Toast

What to make for breakfast is big question for me always and most of the time it's batata poha ( and I made that again today) as DH likes that very much.  Since we don't make idli/dosa much or say it happens only once in blue moon, what to make breakfast always troubles me, of course there are many good North Indian recipe but it requires time and patience which I hardly have.  I wonder how my mom use to make roti/paratha/poori sabzi for breakfast I can hardly do that or even think about it.

The truth is I don't make breakfast every day, most of the time we eat out but when I do make breakfast I try look for simple and quick options. That's why I try few different things with bread like Open Rava Sandwich, Eggplant Curry Sandwich (you must try this), French Toast, Vegetable Sandwich (my personal favorite), Cheese & Veg Sandwich, Bread-Jam etc as these recipes are delicious plus easy.

This savoury french (besan) toast or as known as Bombay Toast is best option if you don't eat egg (or even if you eat egg) and looks for quick yet delicious option for breakfast or snack.  It can be done in less than 10 minutes  making it good option for kids snack/tiffin box, you can also modify the recipe according to your taste and needs so go ahead and try it out.

Eggless Christmas Gingerbread Man Cookies Recipes

I wanted to make gingerbread man cookies for long time but it was not happening, this time I got very good excuse to bake these & sent these cookies along with other goodies to India for DH nibbling, they are happy, am happy and that’s makes one big happy family ;)

Gingerbread  man cookies are epitome of Christmas baking and it does looks very festive.n  If you are thinking baking ginger man cookies are difficult tasks then leave your worries behind it actually very easy and quick, I only find the icing part time consuming but that because my patience level was running out that day due to baking so much.   I like to make all cookies eggless and there’s no difference in this recipe too, it still makes a soft, crunchy and tasty cookie without egg.  Try this and wow your family & friend this festive season.   Check out other cookies recipes here.

Ingredients: [Makes 25-28 Cookies]
Plain Flour - 3 Cups
Cinnamon Powder - 1 tsp
Ginger Powder - 2 tsp
All Spice Powder - 1/2 tsp [or cloves powder 1/2 tsp]
Nutmeg Powder - 1/2 tsp
Salt - 1/2 tsp
Baking Soda - 3/4 tsp
Dark Brown Sugar - 3/4 Cup
Soften Butter - 3/4 Cup
Molasses - 3/4 Cup [or honey or maple syrup 3/4 cup]
Milk - 2 tbsp

For Royal Icing
Icing Sugar - 1 Cup
Corn Flour - 1 1/2 tsp
Lemon Juice/Vinegar - 1 tsp
Milk - 2-3 tsp
Food Color [optional]
Sprinkles [optional]

Method:

1. Sieve together plain flour, cinnamon, ginger, all spice, nutmeg, salt and baking soda, keep aside.

2. In a bowl take butter, sugar & milk and beat until smooth. 
3. Add molasses and mix well.  I used maple syrup.

4. Mix flour in batches and mix until smooth dough is formed.

5. Pinch a big lemon size bowl and roll into 1/8 inch thick on parchment sheet.  Use ginger man cookie cutter or any other cookie cutter of your choice and cut, gently lift cookie.  Collect scraps, add little more dough and repeat rolling, cutting until all dough is used.  I also used star shape cookie cutter.

~ If you are unable to lift cookie or dough as it’s soft add little flour and mix well.  If dough is hard then add 1 tbsp of milk to soften, adjust until you can roll dough, cut and lift pieces.
~ After doing above step if you think dough is still soft, wrap it in a cling and keep in fridge for 15 minutes or more if you have time. You can keep dough over night too in fridge.
6. Preheat oven at 350F and line baking tray with parchment sheet.
7. Place cookie in tray and bake for 8 to 12 minutes depending on the size of cookie or until they are slightly darken, keep eye after 8-9 minutes.  Don’t over bake cookie.  During my 1st batch of baking I was busy rolling next batch and few of cookies were over baked.  So do keep a eye after 9 minutes.
 
8. Once cookies are baked, cool on a wire lack completely before doing icing.

For Royal Icing
9. In a bowl take 1/2 cup icing sugar, corn flour, lemon juice and beat until smooth.

10. Add remaining 1/2 cup icing sugar and beat again to mix well.

11. Divide icing into 3 portions (or as many you want), in one portion mix green and another mix red color (or any color of your choice), mix well & fill icing in piping bags.

12. Decorate cookies as your desire or simply just make dotted lines or outer line. Add sprinkles if you wish.

~ The truth is this requires lot of patience's at least for me, so if you have give this decoration tasks to your kid, they will not only enjoy this process but also will love the fact that it’s done by them and it saves your time, win-win situation for all I say. 
13. Let icing get dry completely and enjoy.

Have a nice day ~~

Eggless Strawberry & Banana Muffins

I was in happy mood over weekend as my work was appreciated and I achieved what I was targeting for 2 years, as they say hard work does pay offs,  & to celebrate that I shopped, ate and baked!  I tried this combo of strawberry and banana and it came out so good it was way better than I expected, banana & strawberry together works as charm and the flavour is just so delicious.  I didn’t follow any recipe but did on my own and made this muffins as eggless butter-less, if you don't add strawberry emulco (and it’s fine) it will still have light pink color as strawberry and milk is grinded and added. Have along with any juice, tea/coffee as breakfast or snack.  We had it with Pear and Orange Juice for breakfast and others disappeared in no time. 

Ingredients: [Yields 12 regular size Muffins]

Granular Sugar - 1/2 Cup

Brown Sugar - 1/2 Cup

Oil - 3/4 Cup

Silken Tofu - 1/2 Cup [whipped] I used Oranigc

Ripe Banana - 2 Large

Vanilla Extract - 1 tsp

Plain Flour - 2 Cups + 1 tbsp

Baking Powder - 1 1/2 tsp

Salt - 1/4 tsp

Orange Zest - 1 tsp [optional]

Strawberry - 1 Cup [chopped]

Milk - 3/4 Cup

Strawberry Emulco - 1 tsp [optional]

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180C.  In a bowl mix white and brown sugar with oil until sugar almost dissolves.

2. Add orange zest, whipped tofu and mashed banana and mix well. 

~ I didn’t whip tofu but add and mix well with other ingredients.   It’s better if you whip it and then add. 

3. In a another bowl or plate sieve flour, salt, baking powder and mix with wet ingredients in small batches and stir, do not over mix.

4.  Beat 1/2 cup of strawberry pieces with milk until smooth and add to muffin batter and mix well.  Now add vanilla essence and strawberry emulco (if using) and give a good stir. 

5. Coat remaining 1/2 cup of strawberry with 1 tbsp of flour and mix with batter, this is to prevent fruit from sinking on bottom. 

6.  Line muffin tray with liners and scoop batter until 3/4, if you wish add few strawberry pieces on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean. 

~ Keep eye after 20 minutes, I used baked muffin liners and cupcakes cups to bake, though in these cups the batter is more than double of normal size muffins.

Cool in wire rack for 5 minutes, remove muffins and allow to cool completely.

Relish these cute and delicious muffins.

Have a nice day ~~

Eggless Chocolate Walnut Cookies | Brownie Cookies Recipe

To mark start of the year I’m posting this soft, crunchy and delicious Eggless Chocolate Walnut Cookies.  I like to bake cookies more than cake as you can see I have few cookie recipes posted, this is again one of the easy eggless cookie recipe & I baked this cookies for my nephew as for him anything as to be chocolate like I made for him Eggless Chocolate Cookies and Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies.  But for me more than chocolate walnut cookies it’s like Brownie cookies, as it taste like brownie, soft, dense and delicious.



Honey can be good sweetener in baking cause of it’s rich flavour and texture, cause of honey the cookie stays moist & edges doesn’t becomes hard/crisp and walnut gives the good crunch.  These cookies are so simple to prepare with minimal ingredients and can be put together in around 20 minutes.   Double the recipe to bake this for large batch, but I suggest start with the listed quantity, this cookie recipe is so easy that it actually doesn’t require step wise pictures, just put everything together, mix and bake..can it get simple than this?



You can dust the cookies with icing sugar for festive season like Christmas and New Year, if you wish or have it as it is.   I personally like these beauties as this so I dusted the sugar to only one cookie.




Ingredients:
[Makes 12-15 cookies]

Plain Flour - 1 Cup
Brown Sugar - 1/4 Cup
Cocoa Powder - 1 tbsp
Baking Powder - 1 tsp
Baking Soda - 1/2 tsp
Salt - a pinch
Honey - 1/3 Cup
Vegetable Oil - 1/4 Cup
Vanilla Extract/Essence - 1 tsp
Chopped Walnut - 1/3 Cup
Icing Sugar - To dust cookies [optional]



Method:

1.  Preheat oven to 180C or 350F.
2. Ina bowl whisk together plain flour, cocoa powder, baking powder & soda, sugar and salt. 
3. In another bowl whisk oil, honey and vanilla extract well until everything is combine.  Add this to flour mixture and mix everything well until smooth dough forms. 
~ If the dough is sticky then add 1-2 tbsp of plain flour and mix again.  If you think moisture is more then refrigerate the dough for 20-30 minutes and then bake.
4. Now add chopped walnut and mix well again. Divide the dough into equal portion of 12 to 15 pieces and shape into rounds. 
5. Place a inch apart these on a baking tray line with baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges becomes light brown.  Cool completely on wire rack and store.
~ Keep a eye on cookies after 10 minutes.
Dust the cookies with powder sugar to make it look snowball cookies.
Due to honey these cookies stays fresh @ room temperature even after 2 weeks, but during summer you may want to store this in fridge.

Have a look at the texture.



Note:
~ Press the cookie dough to flat and then bake if you wish or just leave it round and bake, while it’s baking it forms the shape.
~ You can add 1/3 cup of chocolate chip for the extra chocolate kick, add together with walnut.
~ If you don’t like chocolate then ignore the cocoa powder and make it as walnut cookies. 
~ If you don't want to bake the cookies immediately then wrap the bowl with a cling, refrigerate and bake when ready.


Want to have a bite?   And these cookies goes to Srav's Chocolate Fest Event.



Have a nice day and year ahead ~~
