healthy banana bread with dark chocolate chips

bismillahirrahmanirraheem..
assalamu'alaikum wrt wbt

am into healthy breakfast (yes breakfast only :p) nowadays
so.. i made this healthy bread & muffins last weekend
(i got 4 teeny-weeny mini loaf and 10 or more muffins)
and just had the last slice for this morning breakfast!
its healthy. it keeps well in the fridge. and its yummy!

banana wholemeal muffins
i ate 4 of them while driving on sunday morning. bedal sakan! 

source: moresweetsplease
  • 4 very ripe bananas, well mashed
  • 2 eggs plus 1 egg white, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 3/4 cups Sucanat (evaporated cane juice/ sugar) 
  • 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 oz dark chocolate, chopped or choc chips (about 1/2 cup)
  1. Preheat oven to 350° and grease either a large loaf pan, three mini-loaf pans, or a large muffin pan.
  2. Mix mashed bananas with eggs and vanilla, and then stir in flour, Sucanat, flax seeds, salt and baking soda until just combined.  Gently stir in chocolate and pour batter in prepared pans.
  3. Bake a large loaf pan for 60 minutes, mini-loaf pans for 35 minutes, and muffins for 20 minutes (until cake tester or wooden skewer comes out mostly clean).  Set on cooling racks for 5 – 10 minutes, then remove from pans to finish cooling.
tips:
  1. Ripe bananas, please.  Yellow ones just won’t do- they need to be more black than brown.  I wouldn’t bother making the bread if the bananas aren’t ready.  Better to make a banana split or a banana/almond butter/almond milk/cinnamon shake if you feel the urgent need to use up your bananas.
  2. Substitutes?  But of course.  Use regular flour if you don’t have the whole wheat, and regular or brown sugar if you don’t have Sucanat.  Skip the flax seeds if you want.  (Just know that you won’t be able to call these Impossibly Healthy if you take out the healthy ingredients.)  If you don’t have dark chocolate, you can chop up other kinds of chocolate (or use chocolate chips)- but again, you lose the right to use the Healthy claim… just so you know.  Dark chocolate wins in the antioxidant department and is less sweetened than its semi-sweet and bittersweet counterparts.
  3. Nuts… yes, nuts are lovely in banana bread, especially walnuts.  Toast some and add them in if you’d like.  They’ll bring a healthy fat to the party, which is good but something to consider if you’re looking to take some of the fat out of your life.
  4. “Healthy”: Be sure to explain to people that this is a Healthy bread- yes, with a capital H- and while it’s super-good, it’s definitely not a decadently sweet and rich classic banana bread like this recipe.  When you build whole wheat and flax and raw sugar and you strip out butter and oil and a yolk, you’re not getting an indulgent treat.  But you do have my word that this is pretty damned good.
  5. Storage: keep this bread wrapped in plastic wrap (or in an airtight container) to stay moist, and eat within a few days.  Enjoy!
note:
my batter is quite thick, i assume due to the not-so-ripe bananas. so, i added few tablespoons of low fat milk and canola oil. alhamdulillah.. it turn out great!

  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract

  • zest of 1/2 lemon

  5. Pour batter evenly into springform pan. Carefully pour filling mixture evenly over the cake batter to within about 1/2 inch of the edge of the pan. (The filling should cover all but the outer 1/2 inch, at which point the cake batter will be visible.)
  6. Bake for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until the cake has puffed up and toothpick inserted near edge of cake comes out clean.
  7. Allow to cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully remove springform sides and allow to cool on rack for 1 hour. Transfer to refrigerator and chill completely before serving.

another farewell in the department..
its very sad when great people are leaving us
but they have to move on.. they have created a path for their destiny

they dare to shift from their comfort zone into the unknown

mayonaise pull apart rolls

bismillahirrahmanirraheem..
assalamu'alaikum wrt wbt

hari khamis dapat email teman seusrah nak bawak durian
tak sesuailah pulak kalau saya nak bawak kek
makanya.. digodek2 pinterest, jumpa resepi bun ni..
dah lama "pin"kan sampai terlupa!


simple and easy!

sumber: askchefdennis.com
  • 1 lb all purpose flour (approx. 4 cups)
  • 1 cup water
  • ¼ cup mayo
  • 1 tsp activated dry yeast
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 egg
  • seeds to decorate
  1. Mix all ingredients together starting with the flour, adding water, yeast, mayo and lastly the salt.
  2. Knead well until the dough becomes smooth and keeps together. If the dough is too sticky add a couple of spoon of flour, if is too dry add a bit of water. In the end you should have a rather soft dough.
  3. Put the dough in a large bowl and cover with plastic film, then place in a warm place to proof (I usually put it in the oven with the light on)
  4. When the dough has doubled (2-6 hours depending on room condition), form it into balls slightly bigger than a golf ball and place in a baking dish to proof until it doubles in size.
  5. Choose an baking dish that is not too big. (You can use a large pizza pan or two cake pans.)
  6. The idea is that while raising the bread rolls will fill the whole pan and create a sort of big flower.
  7. When the rolls have proofed, brush with the lightly beaten egg and decorate with your favorite seeds: sunflower, pumpkin, flax or even paprika or grated cheese.
  8. Bake at 400F for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
si lembut gebu yang tawar :p

verdict:
roti yg lembut walaupun tiada agen pelembut!
cuma.. tawar heber je.. tapi bila makan dgn durian atau jem stoberi.. yummy!

kek pandan syawal di bulan syaaban

bismillahirrahmanirraheem..
assalamu'alaikum wrt wbt

kebiasaannya di awal pagi sebelum masuk opis saya..
saya akan lepak di dean's opis, di tempat kakpah..
sembang2.. belek2 majalah.. kunyah2..
pagi khamis yg lalu saya membelek majalah keluarga julai 2012
kulit luarnya gambar mawi & family
sampai di bahagian resepi, ternampak resepi kek pandan syawal
kakpah kata: nanti buatkan kek ni utk kakpah.
beres! tunggu saya beli santan kat pasar tani okeh!
tak payah tunggu syawal.. di bulan syaaban pun kita boleh buat :)
so, saya salin resepi atas kertas yg terselit dalam henbeg.
semalam bila nak buat.. sedikit konpius.. eh.. takdak butter! takdak minyak!
sambil berdoa.. saya bertawakkal 'ala Allah semata2..
alhamdulillah.. jadik molek ja :)
pagi tadi belek resepi sekali lagi.. snap teruslah!
ya. konfem apa yg saya salin tu betul..




kek ni rasanya sangat klasik!
macam bahulu yang sangat sangat lembut!
sudah tentu anak dara saya yg suka kek klasik suka :)

resepi dibawah ni ya..


bahan2:
  • 1cwn santan
  • 2 1/2 tepung gandum
  • 2 sdt baking powder
  • 1 1/4cwn gula <-- saya guna 1cwn shj
  • 4 butir telur
  • sedikit perisa pandan serta pewarna hijau <-- saya letak perisa sahaja.
tatacara:
  1. gris loyang dan alas dengan kertas baking. (saya rasa loyang 10inci sesuai dgn adunan ni. saya guna loyang 8inci 4segi + 4 ketul loyang 4segi kecik2) 
  2. ayak tepung bersama baking powder. (saya tambah secubit garam)
  3. satukan santan dan perisa pandan serta pewarna hijau.
  4. pukul gula + telur hingga kembang (sampai warna cream dan gebu)
  5. masukkan tepung dan santan secara berselang seli. cukup sekadar kaupbalikkan hingga sebati. (saya guna mixer pada kelajuan paling perlahan)
  6. tuang adunan ke dalam loyang dan bakar selama 25minit atau sehingga kek masak.

easy carrot cake

bismillahirrahmanirraheem..
assalamu'alaikum wrt wbt

teman seperjuangan yg telah berpindah opis rindukan kek
ayatnya berbunyi "lamanya tak merasa makan kek akak"
akak yg baik hati pun tanyalah.. "apa kek mau??"
balasannya.. "kite teringin nk makan carrot cake"
sekali godek2 blog.. wah.. lebih setahun jugak tak buat carrot cake
hajat hati nak try resepi carrot cake popina bakery
disebabkan method kena asingkan telur.. terus cari resepi lain
malas tahap tertinggi! insyaallah.. suatu hari yg rajin akan diusahakan jugak!
kemudian belek pulak buku dan lepard. jumpa resepi easy carrot cake
ahkak ni memang pantang nampak resepi ada nama easy..
dan2 tu masuk dapur keluarkan food processor & sagat carrot!

resepi boleh tengok kat sini.
kang salin resepi kat blog kena sound lagi seround.
nehi. cukup hanya sekali.




amaran: sila kurangkan gula! saya kurangkan ke 180g. masih manih leting weh!
bak kata adik saya.. manis tahap potong kaki. rasanya 150g dah cukup kot?

outcome: despite the manis-ness.. this is a wonderful carrot cake. moist but not oily. i believe i must thank the sunflower oil for that ;)

finnish apple tart

bismillahirrahmanirraheem..
assalamu'alaikum wrt wbt

saya tertanya2.. kenapa set2 eropah punya tart dos not look like tart?
its more like a cake! takdak pastry base pun!
swedish apple tart macam tu.. finnish mcm tu..
tapi ahkak suka ja.. sebab cepat siap! hehe..

pagi tadi kalut (as usual :p) buat utk teman2 di kantor
niat asal nak kongsi sama dgn teman2 usrah juga..
tapi skali hadap licin ngko! hehe..

lama menyusun spiral sampai tak sempat buat kuah! 

sumber: scandiefoodie
  • 2 large, free-range eggs
  • 100g raw caster sugar <-- reduce to 80g
  • 120g whole spelt flour <-- i use 60g plain flour + 60g wholemeal flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 75ml milk
  • 50ml olive oil
  • 2 apples, cut in half and thinly sliced
  • 1-2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1-2 teaspoons rapadura sugar <-- i use brown sugar
  1. Preheat the oven to 200C and grease a round 26 cm pie dish (i use 24cm).
  2. Beat the eggs and the sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Combine the flour and the baking powder in a bowl. Sift the flour into the egg mixture and fold to combine.
  4. Fold in the milk and the oil and pour the dough into the pie dish.
  5. Arrange the apple slices on top of the dough and sprinkle with ground cinnamon and rapadura sugar. 
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Leave to cool on a wire rack.
nota:

verdict:
the base/ cake langsung tak manis.. tak taklah tawar heber.. bak kata omputih, just nice. manis gula yg tabur kat atas tu ja.. lovely for breakfast :)
alhamdulillahi 'ala kulli haal..

chocolate buttermilk cake

bismillahirrahmanirraheem..
assalamu'alaikum wrt wbt

this. has been in my dream. for almost a month!

tapi bila dah beli choc bar.. takdak kesempatan nak buat.. (alasan!)
i made this last nite despite of excruciating pain in my knee (ahkak dah tua!)
its for my kids to munch while watching tv (cuti skolah tgk tv aja kerjanya!)
tsk tsk tsk.. not a good snack lah ummi!
haha.. alasan keji. padahal ummi yg teringin nak rasa :p


kek coklet yg paling chocolatey! sila sejukkan dulu utk lebih yummy!

source: thelittleteochew (from Tish Boyle Sweet Dreams)

Makes 6 individual cakes.
Storage: in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Special Equipment: one 6-cake Bundt-lette pan.

  • 1 cup cake flour (plain flour is fine too) <-- i use superfine flour
  • 1/2 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar <-- i reduced to 1cup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons Kahlua(optional) <-- i use 2Tbs coffee 
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 ounces finely chopped bittersweet chocolate or 3/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate morsels bittersweet <-- i use beryls dark chocolate

1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Generously grease the interior of a 6-cake Bundt-lette pan (it's best to use shortening here). Dust the molds with flour and tap out the excess.

2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine and set aside.

3. In the bowl of an electric mixer, using the paddle attachment, beat the butter at medium speed for 2 minutes, until very creamy. Gradually beat in the sugar. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat for 3 minutes, until the mixture is well blended and light. At medium speed, beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.

4. In a small bowl, stir together the buttermilk, Kahlua and vanilla extract. If your mixer has a splatter shield attachment, attach it now. At low speed, add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three additions, alternating it with the buttermilk cream mixture in two additions, and mixing just until blended. Remove the bowl from the mixer stand and stir in the finely chopped chocolate or miniature semisweet morsels. Scrape the batter into the prepared cake molds, dividing it evenly and smoothing the tops.

5. Bake the cakes for 25 to 30 minutes, until a cake tester inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean. Cool the cakes in the pan set on a wire rack for 10 minutes.

6. Invert the cakes onto the rack and cool completely.
* If you intend to chill the cake(s), make sure they are stored in a tightly-lidded container to prevent drying out.

  7. Add cooked onions and leeks to the mixture
  8. Check the seasoning 
  9. Pour into the pie shell
  10. Spread the grated cheddar on top. i sprinkled chili flakes on top as well.

p/s:
orang kata sedap. ayat encik suami: kek free memanglah sedap!

banana bread pudding

bismillahirrahmanirraheem..
assalam'alaikum wrm wbt,

beberapa hari yg lalu (macam intro buku cerita zaman dulu2 pulak!)
saya telah membuat sebiji roti (macam ayat karangan budak darjah 2 pun ada)
tetapi.. saya tak serik mengulangi kesilapan yg lalu (yup! i never learnt from my mistakes)
after the second rise, saya tidurkan sikecil..
tak payah sambung cerita mesti dah tau.. as expected..
dgn saya sekali belayar sampai turki (mengidam nak pergi turki)
sedar2 dah 4 jam berlalu! turun kedapur tengok roti..
aduhai.. dah mengembang overdose dan kemudian terkelepek.
syahdu sekali rasanya.. tapi saya masukkan jugak kedalam oven
sekadar utk menge'test' apakah hasil-mahsulnya..
sudah tentu roti itu tidak boleh dimakan!
tapi bahagian atas yg terkelepek itu mantop (boleh dimakan)
maka saya potong bahagian yg boleh dimakan..
bahagian bawahnya saya bagi tong sampah makan :|

apalagi nak dibuat dgn roti berkulit keras melainkan bread pudding :D
paginya saya buat banana bread pudding
malamnya saya buat cinnamon-raisins bread pudding
resepinya? sukahatilabu :p

bread pudding versi pagi - ada banana + choc chips

resepi banana bread pudding versi sukahati daku:

  • 2-3 biji pisang, dilecek
  • 2cwn susu (fresh milk/ full cream atau campur heavy cream pun boleh)
  • 2 biji telur, dipukul sedikit
  • 2tsp vanilla
  • 1Tbs gula perang <-- saya rasa perlu tambah tp kawan2 kata molek dah2tsp vanilla
  • 2Tbs butter
  • beberapa kepingan roti, dipotong cube 
  • 1/4cwn chocolate chips
  1. panaskan oven ke 175C. masukkan 2Tbs butter kedalam loyang (saya guna pyrex 8x8) dan masukkan loyang kedalam oven, sehingga butter cair.
  2. masukkan roti kedalam loyang dan kaupbalikkan hingga butter menyelaputi roti.
  3. dalam bekas berasingan, sebatikan pisang, telur, susu, gula perang dan esen vanilla. tuang kedalam loyang roti tadi dan biarkan selama lebih kurang 15minit.
  4. tabur chocolate chips keatas adunan. masukkan loyang kedalam oven dan bakar selama 40-45 minit.


bread pudding versi malam - raisins + cinnamon

resepi bread pudding cinnamon-raisins hampir sama seperti diatas. perubahannya hanya:  tiada pisang, gula ditambah jadi 2Tbs, choc chips "bertukar" kepada raisins. dan saya tambah 1tsp serbuk cinnamon ke dalam adunan susu.

blackberry cheesecake swirl brownies


bismillahirrahmanirraheem..
assalamu'alaikum wrm wbt.


source: beantownbaker.com

For the Blackberry Sauce (i skipped this part as i use blackberry jam; thats all i have in my fridge)
  • 6 oz fresh blackberries
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp water

For the Brownie Batter
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup + 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp cocoa
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp espresso powder, optional
  • 1/2 Tbsp vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cups flour

For the Cheesecake
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 Tbsp + 2 tsp flour
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

For the Blackberry Sauce
  1. Place blackberries and sugar in a pan and heat until the blackberries release their juices.
  2. Combine cornstarch, juice, and water in a small bowl. Stir together until smooth.
  3. Add slurry to pan and stir to mix completely. Bring mixture to boil for a few minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature.


For the Brownie Batter
  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease an 8x8" square metal baking pan.
  2. In a saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter, then add the sugar and stir to combine. Return the mixture to the heat briefly, just until it's hot, but not bubbling; it'll become shiny looking as you stir it. Heating this mixture a second time will dissolve more of the sugar, which will yield a shiny top crust on your brownies.
  3. Transfer the sugar mixture to a medium-sized mixing bowl, if you've heated it in a saucepan. Stir in the cocoa, salt, baking powder, espresso powder, and vanilla.
  4. Whisk in the eggs, stirring until smooth. Add the flour, again stirring until smooth.


For the Cheesecake
  1. Beat the cream cheese in the bowl of a mixer until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and beat until well combined.
  2. Add the blackberry sauce and stir until distributed.


To Assemble the Brownies
  1. Spread about 2/3 of chocolate batter into prepared pan, and spoon cheesecake batter over. Dollop remaining brownie batter over cheesecake batter. Swirl the batters together by running a butter knife back and forth through the pan.
  2. Bake for 40 minutes, or until center is set. Cool completely on wire rack and chill before cutting and serving.

saya tak pasti org lain buat macam mana..
bagi saya, kalau rehat cukup.. insyaallah kembali segar
tapi dah banyak hari rasa macam ni..
oven pun dah lama tak beraksi.. :|
blog pun dah tak dijengah lagi..

anyway, malam ni cuba paksa diri..
sekurang-kurangnya dapat update cerita basi :p
bingka ni dah buat laaama dah.. ahad lepas lagi..
dah nak seminggu baru berkesempatan nak post di sini..
alhamdulillah.. Allah masih bagi peluang utk hidup hingga hari ini..
