Millet Brownie Balls, egg-less

 Made this ragi/ finger millet brownies, egg-less.  It came so soft that I had to make small balls with them.

Ingredients

mashed banana 1 big

ghee melted 1/4 cup

sugar 1/2 cup

cocoa pdr 3 heaped tsp

ragi flour 1/2 cup roughly

milk 1/4 cup

baking pdr 1 tsp

baking soda 1/4 tsp

walnuts and sunflower seeds

vanilla essence 1/2 tsp

salt a big pinch 

 

In a bowl mixed mashed banana , salt, baking pd, baking soda, sugar, cocoa pdr well along with melted ghee. 

I added ragi flour 3 tsp at a time, mixing well, then added more flour, milk, till I felt the batter was thinner than the normal cake batter, added nuts

spread on a microwave safe plate baked for 3.30 minutes, checked, felt it needed to be baked a little more, baked for another 45 seconds.

Cooled, removed, sad when I cut into squares, as they're sooo soft, it kept breaking, hence I rolled then into balls !

Ragi Chocolate Sheera

 Ingredients: 

1 cup ragi flour, 

2 cups milk, 

2 tbsp ghee, 

4 tbsp sugar, 

2 tbsp cocoa pdr

cardamom pdr

chopped nuts.

 

Preparations

 Place a pan on the stove and heat the ghee. When it melts, add the ragi flour and stir the flour slowly so it mixes well with the ghee. Keep stirring so the flour roasts evenly.

Once the flour roasts for few minutes, pour milk into the pan and stir continuously as the mixture thickens quickly. Ensure milk and flour mix properly 

Add sugar and mix till it dissolves. Add cocoa powder or chocolate pieces, and allow them melt into the mixture. Continue to stir so the sheera stays smooth and does not form lumps. 

Add a small amount of cardamom powder if you want a light flavour. Taste and adjust the sugar of required. Cook for another minute or two till the sheera reaches the thickness you like. 

Turn off the flame and garnish with chopped nuts. Serve the sheera warm.

Protein-Packed Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cottage Cheese Ice Cream

 Ingredients

1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream

1 pound (454 g) whole cottage cheese (2 cups)

1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp Dutch-processed cocoa powder (1 3/8 ounces; 40 g)

1 3/4 cup (180 ml) pure maple syrup

1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract (optional)

1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (2 1/4 ounces; 66 g)

 

Preparations

In a food processor or blender, process heavy cream, stopping and scraping down sides as needed for even blending, until thickened and soft peaks form, 30 to 60 seconds. Transfer whipped cream to a medium bowl. Do not wipe processor clean.

In now-empty food processor or blender, place cottage cheese, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla (if using) and process until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides as needed, about 2 minutes. Add whipped cream and pulse until just fully incorporated, about 5 (1-second) pulses. Transfer to a 9- x 5-inch loaf pan. 

 In a small microwave-safe bowl, microwave peanut butter on high until loosened, about 30 seconds; dollop warmed peanut butter over cottage cheese mixture in loaf pan, then use a butter knife or offset spatula to swirl peanut butter into cottage cheese mixture. 

Press plastic wrap flush against surface and freeze until firm, at least 6 hours. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before scooping.

This Chocolate Ladoo Loaded With Nuts, Seeds Helps With Hair, Hormone Health

Hormonal balance plays a key role in everything from energy levels and mood to metabolism and reproductive health, and while no single food can “fix" hormonal imbalances, a nutrient-rich diet can help support overall hormonal function.

Almonds and cashews offer healthy fats and antioxidants, makhana adds a satisfying crunch, and dates naturally sweeten the laddus while providing fibre and minerals.

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp almonds

• 2 tbsp cashews

• 2 tbsp flaxseeds

• 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds

• 2 tbsp sunflower seeds

One-bowl chocolate cake, Egg-less

Ingredients

Add in a bowl the ingredients one by one, keep mixing well  

All purpose flour  1 cup

Sugar ½ cup

Cocoa pdr ¼ cup

Baking soda ½ tsp

Milk  ½ cup

Oil ¼ cup

Vanilla essence 1/2 tsp 

Mix all well in a bowl and bake @ 180 C for 30 minutes in a pre-heated oven.

  

NOTE- As the size of the ovens vary, so too voltage, I request you to keep a watch on your cake right from 15 minutes on wards if your oven is small, bigger will take around 30-40 minutes depending on the size. Best is to keep an alarm accordingly. Mostly you can smell the cake once it is done. Good luck.

 

NOTE 2- I gave my small OTG due to lack of space in my kitchenette here. I bake cakes in my microwave. If I bake in the glass plate to cover the micro-safe dish, then I need just 3 1/2 minutes. But the batter should be more flowing than the normal cake batter, then you'll get a real soft cake.
