Oatmeal Cookies

Eggless Oatmeal Cookies:

It is very easy to prepare eggless oatmeal cookies and it is healthy too. You can eat this not only for the evening snacks but for the breakfast too. It will take only 15 to 20 min to prepare this. I used quick oats  to make this recipe. 


Instead of doing cookies using butter, the taste will be delicious only when you add ghee. So, i preferred to use ghee for this recipe. 


Not only kids, everybody like this healthy cookies alot and definitely you will get the appreciation.(Not only appreciation, you will get the satisfaction that you're giving them a healthy food).


Ingredients:

1 cup - maida ( all purpose flour )
1 cup - Oats ( quick oats )
1/2 cup - Sugar ( Powdered)
1 pinch - salt
1/2 tsp - baking powder
1/4 tsp - baking soda
3/4 cup - ghee
1 tsp - vanilla essence
1/2 tsp - cardomom powder


Directions:


Sift maida, powdered sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda twice or thrice. Add oats and mix well. Heat ghee in a heavy bottomed pan. Add ghee to the maida mixture and combine gently. The dough will be slightly sticky but not watery. At the time when you can roll the dough with your palms, stop mixing the dough. Pinch equal portions of the dough and roll it between your palms without any cracks. Line the balls on the parchment paper with atleast 2″ space between them and bake it for ten minutes at 180 degrees. Take out the tray and do the tooth pick test. If it comes without any dough clinging its ready. Cool it on the sheet itself for 5 min then transfer it to the cooling rack to cool completely. Store in an air tight container.




Notes:
If  the dough is so dry you can add extra ghee to make the dough soft and when it is so runny you can add extra oats. 

Eggless Vanilla Cake recipe

Eggless Vanilla Cake

This Eggless vanilla cake is very simple and yummy too. I got this recipe from my neighbour aunty. Only by then i have decided to bake the cake only in home and not to buy from shop. When i do the first time i have beated the cake mix so vigorously but later she told me not to do that and need to mix the flour soft. Next time, I did that as she told and it came perfect.

Ingredients:

All purpose flour (maida) - 1 1/4 cups
Sugar (powdered) - 3/4 cup
Milk Powder - 1 cup
Salt - 1 pinch
Vanilla essence - 1 tsp
Baking Powder - 1 tsp
Baking Soda - 1/2 tsp
Milk at room temperature ( without adding water ) - 1 cup
Butter - 3/4 cup

Method:

Sift Maida and salt thrice and keep aside. Keep the butter in room temperature for 1 hour and add sugar, baking powder, baking soda to it. Mix it thoroughly till it becomes smooth and creamy. Add maida mixture gradually and mix well using a whisk. Add Milk powder, Vanilla essence and Milk and make the batter in thick pouring consistency ( like idly batter ). Some lumps are okay. Pour the batter in the greased pan and tap it to even it out. Bake it for 35 to 40 min at 180C or till the bottom had started to brown. Or you can insert a sharp knife in to the cake, if it comes without any dough clinging, it is ready. Transfer the pan to the cooling rack and cool it completely and then slice it. Your eggless vanilla cake is now ready to eat. Yummy...


Notes:

You can also use condensed milk instead of ordinary milk. But don't forget to decrease the amount of sugar because the condensed milk already contains sugar in it. I took 1/4 cup sugar with 1/2 cup of condensed milk, it was really good. If the batter is so thick then you can add  water or milk extra.

You can also do this cake in Aluminium Pressure cooker on gas stove, if you don't have oven at home. Take an aluminium vessel and grease it using ghee. Then pour the batter that we have prepared. Keep it inside the pressure cooker and close it ( No need to pour water in the pressure cooker as you prepare rice, just keep the vessel inside and close it). Don't put whistle but make the fire to sim ( very low ). After 40 min open the lid to check whether it is done. You can do the tooth pick test. The corner of the cake will separate from the vessel and will start to brown. Switch off the cooker and close it. Let it be there for 5 min. Then take out and cool it completely before slicing.
