Waffles

I have tried many waffle recipes over the years, but this is my current favorite. Makes light waffles which are good to eat by kids and adults alike.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (130 grams) all-purpose flour (am going to try whole wheat too)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons (5 grams) baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons (25 grams) granulated white sugar
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk, at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature


Pancakes/bonus recipe of Choco Bombs

Something I tried recently from Bake with Shivesh's repertoire - these are made in a Paniyaram pan, so I feel better about putting good money and kitchen space into a cast iron pan which I haven't used much so far.  

Even better - the same recipe (sans Nutella) makes perfect American-style pancakes - go awesomely with Maple syrup/liquid jaggery/chocolate sauce.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup+2 tbsp warm milk
  • 1/2 tbsp vinegar
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • Nutella

I went all fancy and put the batter into a piping bag, but it probably wasn't needed.

Hot Oats Porridge

This is a family favorite. I have made it with/without toppings, nuts powder etc, always good.
  • 1 cup oats (for 1 person)
  • 1-1.5 cups milk
  • saffron - 5-6 strands
  • 1 tsp elaichi powder
Lightly dry roast oats, and cook in milk infused with saffron and elaichi powder (both are optional, of course) for 10 minutes at low flame. Add a little more milk if needed. 
  • 3 tbsp jaggery (or any other sweetener)
Top with one/more of the following:
  • almonds and brazil nuts powder
  • chocolate chips/chopped chocolate
  • pomegranate seeds
  • chopped apple/banana/fruit of your choice
  • cashewnuts and raisins
Specially good for a winter morning when you crave something hot and hearty.

Oats-chia-cocoa overnight pudding

Ingredients:
  • 1 tbsp Chia seeds
  • 1/3 cup oats
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1-2 tsp cocoa
  • 1-2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp home-made protein powder (optional)
Mix and soak overnight, and add green raisins, soaked almonds and cashews before serving.

Dutch baby/Dutch pancakes

@June 16, 2024

Came across this one yesterday, and made for today's breakfast. It feels like a cross between a pancake and a cobbler. A hit with Agni for sure. Made an amaranth flour version for gluten-free folks like me. Loved it!

  • 4 tbsp butter - divided - 2 tbsp goes into batter, and the rest into pre-cooking the fruits
  • 1/2 cup (125 g) whole milk
  • 1/2 cup (64 grams) whole wheat flour (also tried with amaranth flour, it wasn't bad at all, cannot be compared with wheat but was pretty good and worth making again)
  • 2 large eggs (the original recipe called for 4 but I reduced that since some reviews said it was too eggy)
  • 3 tablespoons (43 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • zest of one lemon
  • 1 cup (154 g) blueberries - I used cherries and peaches, will also try dried cranberries next time.
Method is straight-forward - 2 tbsp butter goes in a cast iron pan and the fruits start cooking on the stove top in this. Rest of butter and everything else goes in a blender, and whisk whoosh whisk! Pour the batter over the fruits in the pan and move the pan to a pre-heated 230 degrees oven. Bake for 15 minutes at least. Serve with maple syrup!
(I made some more modifications in the gluten free version - reduced sugar to 1 tbsp, and butter to almost 1-1.5 tbsp. Obviously, it doesn't taste the same, but is still very good, and hopefully healthy too.)

Fudgy oatmeal

(To Try)

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/d1i3jO4mJAY

  • 35g Oats
  • 7g Chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Cinnamon powder 1/4 tsp (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp sugar (sweetener)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 scoop protein powder (optional)

Blend well and add half a glass of hot milk little by little. Mixture  should be fudgy like a cake batter and not milky. It will automatically cook due to the boiling hot milk.

Top with fresh strawberries, a tbsp of greek yogurt (sweeteneed with honey) and 1 tsp peanut butter.
