Category: Brownie Recipes

Serves: Serves 2

Prep time: 5 Minutes

Cook time: 2 Minutes

Total time: 7 Minutes

Chitra Ganapathy

INGREDIENTS

1 tbsp - 15ml ( 3 tsp) Oreo biscuits - 8 nos ( Original flavor) Boiled milk - 3 tbsp + 1tsp ( optional) ( Milk at room temperature) Softened butter - 1/8 tsp Baking soda - A big pinch ( Half of 1/8th tsp)

METHOD

Grind 8 Oreo cookies with cream to a fine powder ( There was approx. 6-7 tbsp of powdered cookies). Transfer to a bowl. To this, add 1/8 tsp of soft butter( at room temperature).  Add 3 tbsp boiled milk at room temperature and mix well with a whisk. If the batter is too thick, add 1-2 tsp milk. Quantity of milk should be half the quantity of powdered Oreo. Mix well and continue to add a big pinch of cooking soda. Brownie batter should be thick but pourable. Watch the video for reference. Grease a microwave safe bowl with butter generously. Pour the batter and Pat it to level the batter. Microwave in high power (800w) for 1 minute 30 seconds. Insert a tooth pick and check it comes out clean or with crumbs. If not, keep it for another 30 seconds. It takes maximum 1 to 2 minutes to cook based on the power of microwave. Remove the bowl and let the brownie cool down for 2-3 minutes. Now run a knife along the sides of brownie and invert in a plate. It falls down easily. Top it with Chocolate syrup and garnish with sprinklers, Choco chips or nuts of your choice. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream. Tastes yum with a mild chewy texture! Enjoy !

Note

The consistency of brownie batter is more important to get perfect texture. If the batter is too thick, brownie comes out hard. If its too thin, brownie takes long time to cook.So make sure batter is thick but pourable. I added 3 tbsp milk as per the original recipe and then added 1 tsp more milk as the batter was slightly thick. Baking time varies as per the power of microwave. If its 900w, check the cake after 1 minute and continue cooking if needed. For variations, u can add chopped nuts or Choco chips to the batter.

Enjoy this quick and easy, microwave, eggless brownie with Oreo cookies with a scoop of ice cream !Tastes delish !! Have a great Valentine’s day celebration with your loved ones.

Eggless dates cake recipe with wheat flour & oats

How to make eggless dates cake with whole wheat flour and quick cooking instant oats

Cuisine: Indian

Category: Cakes

Serves: 12 

Prep time: 10 Minutes

Cook time: 40 Minutes

Total time: 50 Minutes

Chitra Ganapathy

INGREDIENTS

1 cup - 250ml Whole wheat flour - 3/4 cup ( I used Aashrivad atta) Quick cooking oats - 3/4 cup ( I used Quaker ) Sugar - 1/4 cup ( Granulated) Baking powder - 1 tsp ( levelled, Weikfiled brand) Baking soda - 1 tsp ( levelled, Bakers brand) Black or brown Dates - 20 nos ( Deseeded, chopped & ground) Boiled milk - 1.5 cups Cooking oil - 1/2 cup Vanilla essence - 1 tsp

METHOD

Deseed, chop and grind the dates in batches. Heat 1.5 cups of milk and add the ground dates to the hot milk. Let it soak for 10 minutes. If using brown dates, soak for 30 minutes. In the mean time, mix the dry ingredients. Add vanilla essence and cooking oil to the soaked dates + milk. Mix well with a whisk. In a wide bowl, take the whole wheat flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda and sugar. Mix well. Add the wet mixture to the dry flour mixture. Mix well with a whisk. Do not over beat. Just mix gently in one direction. Cake batter looks thick but pourable. See the picture below. Grease a baking pan ( I used loaf pan) with oil and pour the cake batter till 3/4th of the pan. Preheat oven in convection mode at 180c. Keep the baking pan inside the oven.Bake the cake for 30 - 35 minutes. Insert  a toothpick or back of a spoon in the center of cake. If the spoon comes out clean, cake is done. If not, bake for another 5 minutes. I baked for 40 minutes but cake had cracks on top and the crust was slightly roasted. So I feel 35 minutes baking time would be enough. So keep an eye after 30 minutes. Remove the baking pan and let the cake cool down completely. Do not try to remove the cake. It will break. After the cake is cooled down, run a knife on the sides of cake and invert the pan on a plate. Just pat it. Cake comes off easily. Make slices and enjoy ! Cake tastes more sweet on first day. But it tasted perfect the next day. This cake stays good for 2 days. Store in an airtight box. No need to refrigerate. Its a great teatime snack ! Enjoy !!

Note

Add more dates and less sugar if you want natural sweetness in the cake. Do not skip vanilla essence as it gives a nice smell when combined with dates. Baking time depends on the heat of oven. Keep an eye after 30 minutes and check with a spoon. Do not over bake. This cake is too soft and moist. It may break or crumble. Cut slices carefully! If using brown dates, soak for 30 minutes in milk. Do not grind all the dates in one time. It will stuck to the walls of mixer. So chop the dates and grind 4-5 in one batch.

Enjoy this super soft, moist, guilt free, eggless dates cake recipe ~!

Snowball Cookies Recipe - Easy Christmas recipes

Eggless snowball cookies recipe with step by step pictures and video

Cuisine: International

Category: Cookies

Serves: 14 nos

Prep time: 10 Minutes

Cook time: 15 Minutes

Total time: 25 Minutes

Chitra Ganapathy

INGREDIENTS

1 cup - 240 ml All purpose flour / maida - 1 cup Softened Unsalted butter - 1/2 cup Granulated sugar - 2.5 tbsp ( Powdered sugar can also be used) Vanilla essence - 1 tsp Salt - A small pinch Chopped Nuts - 1/2 cup ( Pecan nuts is preferable, I used combo of walnuts, cashews, hazelnut and melon seeds) Icing sugar or powdered sugar – 1/2 cup ( to coat the cookies) Cinnamon powder – 1/2 tsp ( optional)

METHOD

Chop the nuts finely and keep aside. In a wide bowl, mix the softened butter, sugar, salt and vanilla essence. Beat well for 5 minutes. The mixture will become creamy. Add maida, mix well. Add chopped nuts and mix well with your hands. Make a smooth , non-sticky dough. Dough should not be too wet and sticky. Some recipes call for refrigerating the dough for 30 minutes. But some recipes don’t say so. So I baked the cookies immediately using half of the dough. I wrapped the remaining dough in a cover and refrigerated it for 30 minutes.  Then made balls and baked it. To make balls, take the cookie dough ( If refrigerated, thaw it for 10 minutes and then use it) and scoop out a tbsp of dough. Make balls and arrange them in a butter greased or butter paper lined baking tray. Leave half inch gap between each cookies. These cookies don;t expand or flatten much as we have not used baking powder or soda. If your cookies flatten so much, then the quantity of butter is more. In that case, add more maida and sugar, proceed. Preheat the oven in convection mode at 180c and place the baking tray inside the oven.Bake at 180c for 10-12 minutes. Open the oven and touch one cookie,try to move it. If its too soft, immovable, sticky and doughy, bake for another 2 minutes else remove the baking tray and check the bottom of cookies.If its slightly golden in color, your cookies are done. These cookies would be very soft when hot. But it will continue to cook even after taking out from the oven.So do not over bake the cookies.Just 12 –14 minutes is sufficient. My cookies had some cracks on top. Do not touch the cookies till it becomes warm. Take 1/2 cup of icing sugar in a wide bowl. Once the cookies turn warm, dip the cookies in the icing sugar and give one coating. Arrange them in a tray and let the cookies cool down completely. Again dip the cookies in the icing sugar and give the second coating. If you wish, you can go for third coating as well. Keep the cookies in a tray and serve them. These cookies stays good for 2-3 days if done properly. Enjoy !

Note

Do not over bake the cookies. It will turn hard and sometimes burnt. I baked it approx. 13 minutes. The cookie dough I kept in the refrigerator baked quickly ( 2 minutes lesser) than the ones I baked without refrigeration. Do not add more sugar than the mentioned quantity because we are coating the cookies with icing sugar.It will become over sweetened. My cookies were mildy cracked.

Enjoy these delicious, melt in mouth cookies for your tea time!!
